October 28, 2009 // Maternity

Kris and Twila drove out from Winnipeg on their four year anniversary to meet me in Morden for their photo session. So, we'll call this a maternity/anniversary shoot. These two put a lot of trust in me, asking me simply where to go, and driving there no questions asked. I explained directions to our second location as "that dumpster by the gas station..." and they didn't bat an eye. And the third location, well, they made no objections to climbing down a dangerously steep slope to get to this little getaway in the middle of town. "Please be careful" I kept saying, and "please tell me if this is too risky", but Kris gently held Twila's hand and helped her along. It was sweet to watch, as he protected his wife and his child like every man should.

I loved sooo many of these images, I found it so hard to choose! WIth a cute little baby bump like that, and such a gorgeous couple, it's difficult to cut anything out. This blog post is a little larger than usual, but I just couldn't help myself!

10 years and going strong

October 25, 2009 // Engagement

Sheila was making meatballs when she met Kerry. This is hilarious, and just part of why they are so lovable. There's more to the story of course, but that's irrelevant. Who wouldn't love ANY story that begins with, "I was making meatballs and..."???

Kerry and Sheila have been together pretty much ever since. And that's 10 years ago. Or maybe 11. They weren't quite sure! After meeting over meatballs, they continued to run into each other until finally Kerry figured there must be a reason, and finally "did something about it". Ten years later (or maybe eleven) they treat each other the way most couples only do for the first 3 months. They were kind, sweet, loving... it was refreshing! I still can't get over how cute they are, I mean, seriously!!!!

Layne and Al - Engaged!!!

October 22, 2009 // Engagement

I'm sure you all are getting tired of me talking about the weather, but seriously, it rules my life! Layne, Al and I rescheduled their engagement shoot TWICE! I'm not sure if that builds up the excitement or if it does the exact opposite. Either way, I was ecstatic when the day of our third attempt turned out to be beautiful!! With the exception of the mosquitoes, of course! Well, beggars can't be choosers right?!?

I met Layne at Kirsten and Mike's wedding. She contacted me shortly there after to meet up and discuss her own upcoming wedding. I met up with she and Al in their home and we chatted about weddings, how they met, what they liked to do, the excitement of being new home owners... I had a great time chatting with them like we were old friends. The engagement shoot was no different. I had so much fun with these two!!

Layne and Al will be married next August. For their engagement slideshow Click Here.

Shawn and Colleen

October 16, 2009 // Engagement

I met Shawn and Colleen for the first time over coffee at Starbucks. Right away I loved how easy they were to talk to. Sometimes I meet with couples and I find it a bit awkward, or difficult, to make conversation. It's sort of like dating, this business of me looking for clients and them looking for a photographer. It's like dating because we are trying to find a connection, something to make us feel closer, something that will make it more comfortable for me to have my camera in their faces and to barge into their homes and photograph one of the most personal days of their lives. I encourage my clients to shop around and find someone with not only a style that they love, but someone they can trust. It's so important to have that trust with your photographer, because they work best if they can do their thing and be creative and are given lots of freedom. My favorite clients are the ones who book me because they love what I do, and trust me to do just that! Shawn and Colleen fit the part. We met up in downtown Winnipeg for their engagement shoot, and they just let me do my thing. These two are super sweet and made me feel so comfortable. I love when my job can be so easy!

Shawn and Colleen's wedding is in August 2010. I can't wait to spend the day with them and capture every sweet moment.

Colleen and Shawn's slideshow is here.
