Today I did a very special photo shoot. Sharilyn was surprising her husband for their 10th anniversary with a renewal of their vows and a photo shoot.

After the I do’s we just hung out and took some photos of their lovely family.

This is their daughter Brianna. Isn’t she gorgeous!! Her eyes sure do tell a story!

And the beautiful couple

And perhaps their best gift Sharilyn is expecting a baby boy in October!!

Congratulations on 10 years together! I wish you have many many more to come

This is what my afternoon looked like today. Gabbi asleep and the boys out playing with their friends. I had a hot tea on the patio and it was perfect!!

I hope you are enjoying your lazy August afternoon!

So here it is. One of the most beautiful weddings I have ever been to. It was at The Berkeley. It was obvious that Rich and Beth put so much love into planning this day. Every detail was amazing!!
Starting with these amazing shoes!!! Beth knows how much I like shoes and she told me weeks ago that I would love these.. and she was right

And the dress!!! It was so Beth!



I love how excited she was!! It was totally infectious!

This is Beth’s 2 year old niece!! She was such a sweetie!






The ceremony was super emotional. It’s not good trying to take pictures when your eyes are tearing up.


Mr. and Mrs Toasting with an Organic Mill Street Beer (my fav) Oh and I have to tell you all that Rich and Beth tried to have as little impact on the environment as possible with this wedding. From Beth choosing not to have flowers to using all local foods for the menu. From hand sewing the napkins (to be later sewn into a quilt) and making reusable center pieces for the tables. It is amazing to see such a genuine love for the earth, made my heart smile

Anyone who knows Rich and Beth know they LOVE to jump.. umm remember their engagement pictures

So while we were taking that jumping shot a fire truck comes around the corner. Beth starts jumping up and down and waving them over. They of course stopped and did whatever she asked because you cannot say no to a bride on her wedding day







Ok so when the MC’s announced Rich and Beth after the ceremony Beth comes in alone. She walks up onto the stage and then the song from dirty dancing (I had the time of my life) starts playing. Rich comes on to the stage and they do this awesome choreographed dance exactly like the movie!! We got a video so I will try and post it soon. It was soooooo good!!!

Mike and I had such a good time, Certainly didn’t feel like we were working!! Love you both!!!

I think that sometimes as photographers we get caught up in creating perfect images for our clients that we forget to capture our own families. Especially those ordinary moments that happen every day. Those moments that make up our days, that create memories. So I have decided that I will pick up my camera more often and snap those moments, even if they are not perfect. Life isn’t perfect and I want to capture everything about our ordinary lives!

Like morning. Morning in my bed!

This is every morning in our house. Life seems to revolve around my bedroom.

Today I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful little family. This family is near and dear to my heart because they have a sweet little girl from Ethiopia just like my girl. In fact we used the same adoption agency and social worker.

Aiyana’s eyes are just like Gabbi’s. So deep they go on forever!

We had so much fun in the forest looking for frogs, playing hockey with sticks and splashing in the water…

Thanks so much guys for trusting me with your precious pictures! I hope you like your sneak peek.

As I typed this I realized my last few posts have the word love in the title So yesterday I shared my favourite iced tea drink with you and believe me we need it right now. Yesterday temperatures hit 43 degrees celsius!!! But you won’t hear me complaining. I am a heat lover!

So today I want to share just a few things I am loving right now.

First up is this ice cream! It rocks my world!!! It’s vegan, sweetened with agave and so delicious!! What more can you ask for.

Next up is my new blender. Oh how I love this thing!!!

It make the most smoothiest smoothies. It blends kale like a dream for my green smoothies. It makes awesome slushy “adult” drinks. Oh man it is awesome!!!

If you haven’t jumped on the green smoothie bandwagon, give it a try! They are so good! You can’t even taste the greens. This smoothie here has 3 cups of chopped kale, half cup strawberries, 1 banana, flax seeds, water and a splash of honey. My kids drink these everyday!

And lastly while I can’t say I am loving my braces I am at least getting used them them. And I know I will be loving my new straight teeth in 6 months when I get them off.

Have a great week everyone!!!

I love it when bloggers do these “things I love” posts !! So I thought I would give it a go. I am working on a “stuff I love” post right now but here is a little sneak peek for you

Tazo Iced Green Tea Lemonade!
Fill a mason jar about 3/4 full with boiling water and add 4 bags of Tazo Green tea. Steep for 3 minutes. Then put in the fridge to cool. Once cool make your drink with 3 parts green tea and 1 part Santa Cruz organic lemonade. If you like it sweeter then do half lemonade Serve in a tall glass with ice and fresh mint leaves.

with this session!! And especially in love with this picture!

Erin and her family.. aren’t they beautiful!!!

Ella made me pull out every trick I have. Butterfly’s in my lens, peekaboo, magical faeries in the forest.. you name it I tried it to get her to pay me some attention.

But she came around
