I really do not want to say too much about the following images as otherwise I will go on and on. And personally I think they speak for themselves. Good friends of ours, Reena and Brent, welcomed Olivia into the world only 9 days ago and I was so excited to have the opportunity to visit them at their home to meet the new arrival. Olivia was the perfect model and as sweet as they come. Here are a few of my personal favourites...
Ever since I met up with Laura and Joel back in November I just knew their wedding was going to be a ton of fun. These two are giggly, goofy, totally in tune with one another and can be oh-so-romantic. We began our day just as the girls were finished their final preparations and then it was off to our first photo location. Laura had the day timed out to perfection so once we arrived at the church we had time to get a few shots of the boys just before the ceremony.
The ceremony itself was perfect for Laura and Joel and once it was over, these two were just so excited to go start the next photo session in their private oasis (kindly provided by Laura's grandparents). It was such a fun afternoon thanks to the animated and very energetic wedding party. ;) Laura and Joel, thank you so much for allowing me to share in your special day. I wish you all the best. :)

With only 386 days to go until their July 10, 2010 wedding, Valerie and Jeff felt it was the perfect time for their engagement session! We enjoyed a gorgeous evening at Campbell Valley Park and I must admit I am really excited for their big day! They are so ahead with their planning it is sure to be a well organized and fun day. I had so many favourites from the session, so here are a few...
Shannon and Dan are one of the sweetest and most considerate couples. I was so excited for their wedding day since they had put so much work into making it really personal. They are both skating fanatics so it was only fitting that their wedding included many items to reflect their passion. Including everything from an e session at a skating rink, to a personalized cake topper made just for them and 2009 playoff towels as a surprise from their family and friends to wave as the newly married couple entered the reception. After the touching ceremony we then zoomed off to QE Park for a few family photos and the fun formals. It was SO hot but everyone was amazing to work with and just full of ideas. After a stop at the ice cream truck (see the "ice" theme again ;)) for some refreshing treats, we then headed off to the airport for a few more photos before joining the guests at the reception. As fun as the entire day was, the highlight for me was haphazardly running into a few trick motorcyclists as they practiced some unbelievable maneuvers. It was hard not to stare at the bizarre things they would do while on a moving bike!

I can't help it but there are A LOT of images in this post. This is my gorgeous and perfect niece Greta (and my amazing sister and her equally great hubby). We have been trying for weeks to do a few family shots but trying to accommodate a new baby's schedule with a busy auntie can be somewhat of a challenge. But, we finally found a moment and I LOVE the results. Greta was the perfect model and I cannot help but be a gushing auntie. Isn't she adorable!!!!
I am now 18 weeks pregnant and definitely have a baby bump of my own which I am loving! Check it out...
I was so excited to see Jessie and Geoff again this past weekend for their engagement session. Their big day is coming up this August and not only do they have everything under control but they were calm, cool and relaxed and definitely enjoying the last few weeks before the insanity begins. Campbell Valley Park was the perfect backdrop once again and although trying to stay out of the hot sunshine was a challenge, we found some great spots and had a ton of fun. Here are a few favourites...
The second e session of the weekend started out a little bumpy but ended up being just perfect. :) We were supposed to meet at Bear Creek Park but after arriving and finding out that a HUGE children's festival was being held at the park (and there was no parking in sight) we decided to make a quick location change and head up to the always peaceful Campbell Valley Park. We were definitely not disappointed with the new plan. The weather was perfect, the park was super quiet and this amazingly sweet couple had lots of time to cuddle and tell me all about their big day coming up this September. Here are a few favs...
Stephanie and Cameron were the first of several engagement sessions planned for this gorgeous weekend and it was a great way to start! We met at the popular White Rock pier and even though the crowds were out in full force, we were able to find a few quiet spots that were just perfect for snuggling. Here are a few favourites from our session...
I was so excited to finally meet up with Shannon and Dan for their e session this week. Their wedding is only weeks away and waiting for the weather to improve has proved a tad challenging, but we finally had the opportunity to get together and had such a great session. We started out at a local ice rink which we had all to ourselves! Shannon and Dan's relationship began at an ice rink so it was only fitting to use it as our backdrop. After getting some great shots indoors on the ice we then went outdoors to enjoy the sunshine. These two are definitely a perfect match and I cannot wait until their big day in June! Here are a few favourites from the session...
