Ben and Jen

September 3, 2009 // Lifestyle

Ben and Jen are good friends to Dwayne and I. Jen actually played a bit of a role in getting Dwayne and I together. See, she worked two jobs the summer Dwayne and I started dating. One with me, and one with him. I confided in her that I had a wee little crush on Dwayne, and Dwayne asked her if she thought I'd go out with him. She thought I would. The rest, as they say, is history.

Ben and Jen celebrated their two year wedding anniversary this August. They decided to mark those two years with a photo session with me. Two years of marriage may not sound like much, but it is definitely something to celebrate! That is two years of good days and bad days. Two years of leaving wet towels on the floor. Two years of dirty dishes on the counter. Two years of someone steeling the covers, someone snoring, or someone talking in their sleep. Two years of fighting over the remote. It's also two years of cuddling on the couch. Two years of going for walks to get ice cream. Two years of weekend camping trips. Two years of love, period. Sure marriage has its ups and downs, but as long as there are more ups, there's always something to celebrate!!!

Congratulations Jen and Ben on two years. Here's to another 52!!!

Sisters - Holly & Heidi

August 16, 2009 // Lifestyle

When I was in grade 1 and my oldest sister Krista was in grade 6, the grade 6 class put on a Haunted House for Halloween. I remember how excited we were as our class lined up to go through, finally our turn! The room was dark, and there were tunnels to crawl through, slimy peeled grapes to put your hands in, and ghosts wondering around the room. I clearly remember the sounds as a tape of eery music played as I crawled my way through the tunnels made of cardboard boxes. Somewhere in the middle of my tour something jumped out at me in the darkness, just a friendly grade 6 student with face paint I'm sure, but it scared my little 6 year old self right out of my socks! I cried, and cried, and cried! My sister's classmates rushed to find her and she came running, ready to console me and wipe away my tears.

Growing up my older sisters were like my second and third mother. They were there for every scraped knee and lonely day at recess. They braided my hair and taught me silly dances, and how to play hopscotch. My younger sister was my best friend and my partner in crime. All three of them of course also helped me develop a thicker skin, as they taunted and teased. I'm still the most sensitive one, but imagine how bad I would be had I had no one to teach me to take it!

That said, when Holly contacted me about doing a sister shoot, I was all over it! I know first hand how special the bond between sisters is, and the opportunity to capture this for them was not one I was going to pass up! These girls had fun written all over them. When I suggested a theme they were more than excited to think something up. I love that they took an idea and ran with it, right down to the last detail.

Holly and Heidi are lucky to have each other. Being born with a built in best friend is such a special gift!

Enjoy the photos ladies!!

Food for Thought

August 11, 2009 // Lifestyle

Jen knew the perfect way to start off our evening photo shoot.... by inviting me over for dinner! How thoughtful! She knew that in order to start our shoot in Winnipeg at 5:30, I would need to leave my house by 4... and who eats dinner before 4 other than my Grandma? So she offered to make me dinner (Ben helped!) and we could shoot all evening on full stomachs. Even better, we had dessert at the end of the shoot, whilst planning out our future trip to Nicaragua or Vietnam... yeah, we can't decide! Thanks so much you two for a great evening. Here's a peek.... just one... at our session.
