Ella, Hollie & Jeff

I did a short, fun and very casual session with Ella, Hollie & Jeff this week, as Hollie is due in November and didn't have any pregnancy photos yet!!









Hollie will be one of the photographers at my wedding, which I'm veeery excited about!!!!

Wedding update...

Everything is falling into place for the wedding.. Slowly but surely we are getting everything done and I just keep getting more and more EXCITED!! We do have to be especially on top of things because we're going on our honeymoon before the wedding, and we get back only a week before we leave for the wedding, so if we leave anything until the last minute then probably it won't get done...

Although we're not going to do tea ceremonies, I thought it would be nice to honour Jin's culture by wearing a Chinese dress for the reception.. Also the girls are going to have paper parasols for the photos, which will look SO awesome with their rasberry-coloured dresses!! but wow, they are so delicate I just hope I don't destroy them on the way down to Mexico! (I did buy a couple extras, just in case :)



I especially love the neckline and collar of the dress, which is a bit unique.... everyone will have to wait till '09 to see it though!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

We were very well-fed this weekend, two Thanksgiving dinners AND we celebrated our 4-year anniversary on Friday by going to dinner at Guu.. We love trying out new restaurants and had heard great things about it so we decided to check it out - it did not disappoint!! I guess this will be our last year of celebrating our anniversary from when we first started dating since we will instead have our wedding anniversary.. (or it could just be another good excuse to go out for a nice meal :)

Anyways, I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Selina & Kele

Selina and Kele decided to get some portraits done for the holidays (speaking of which, I can't believe how quickly they're coming!) They also brought along their dogs Maggie and Frosty who were veeery sweet :)













check out those ears!

Updated Studio!!

It was time to update the walls of the studio and I'd been thinking for a couple weeks about what I wanted to do with the walls and which images I would use.. It's always tough to decide because I have so many favourites, but while designing the layouts for Kylie and Shawn's wedding album, as soon as I finished layout #17 I realized it would look SO great as a trio above the sofa!! Take a look at how it turned out - nothing beats custom framing!

the layout...



the wall... the images are about 13"x19" and the frames are 24"x30"

Naz & Ben

Naz & Ben's property (complete with horses and a barn!) worked perfectly for their engagement session..
