Love in the barn

We knew we'd likely get some bad weather. We needed somewhere awesome and somewhat covered.... Enter Susan's barn. Balance Equestrian Center. This session would not have been possible without the amazing ability to shoot the session here. So, THANK YOU Susan! I loved it here from the first moment I stepped into the barn. Horses, hay, huge loft area. Pretty much amazing. Enter... Lindsey and Dennis. Amazing couple. Lindsey came armed with a few clothing choices (which I LOVE) especially for maternity! We roamed, laughed and made fun of Dennis! It was awesome. You look radiant Lindsey and I can't wait to meet your new addition soon!

Divine Weather Intervention

It was pouring. They were only here for one day. It was the only time we could do it.They live in Vancouver. It was not only pouring, but windy and just plain crazy weather. We cancelled. I was sad, it was Danielle's birthday present and it was going to have to be postponed until next year. I was driving home and the the sun burst out of the clouds and there were suddenly blue skies for miles around. I called her back. "Can you come now?" They did and I'm so happy they did. Thank you guys for inviting me into your loving little world. I am so honored. Always.

Giving Thanks

Today, and everyday I am grateful for many things. I thought I'd celebrate this thanksgiving weekend with a session from a few weeks ago, that I loved even before I shot. I love this family. (ps. how adorable is Lucia! Melt my heart!!!) Thank you Salvador's for venturing all the way from your cozy life in Vancouver to share some moments, and create a whole collection of favorites with me.

May you all have countless blessings, that come in many forms and disguises and may you be open to accepting them all. May this weekend be full of fall hibernation, with wood stoves and treasures and sweaters and stories. May you see fall colors everywhere and smell incredible food cooking in your home. May you be full, filled right up to the top. May you appreciate, soak it in, and enjoy it all.

Happy Thanksgiving Friends. xo

Sweetness on the Lake

A recurring theme lately in my images has been my amazing wedding couples creating AMAZING children and then me having the immense pleasure of photographing them all over again. In a totally different way. Remember their wedding?? Refresher HERE. A perfect evening at McIvor Lake, with sweet Cora and her loving parents. This baby girl is surrounded by all sorts of love and just oozes sweetness! Wishing your beautiful family an abundance of awesome this year and always. xo
