I'll Be Honest With You...

Last few weeks have been pretty amazing - I got to photograph some wonderful families and even had a short getaway in the Waterton National Park with my family. For those of you who have never been to Waterton it's this beautiful little town right on the boarder between Canada and US and offers Ahhh-mazing views! It is a bit of a drive and our GPS almost sent us the wrong way but we found our way out..haha:))

I have been sort of neglecting my blog for the past couple of weeks...oh who am I kidding I was neglecting my blog as I recently had the need and desire to spend more time with my family. I still did a lot of shooting and my life has changed a lot since Tim started Grade 1. Story of the day: I went to a Parent/Teacher interview this morning and was told that Tim is very popular...with girls! They all just adore him. Oh my! I'm getting panic attacks just thinking about it!  Does anyone have experience with it?? Please share!

So here's a preview of the things to come!

Calgary Wedding Photographer: Merry Christmas 3 months early!

Being a complete geek (and an artist at heart) I was so excited yesterday when I got 2 packages at once - one with my sample boudoir album shipped all the way from Japan and one with DVD cases for my clients. Yeepeeeee!!!! It felt like Chrismas right away (I am not going to mention the fact that Calgary did LOOK like at Christmas time this morning with all the...s n o w)...you know when you're a kid and you get exactly what you wish for. That's how I felt yesterday.

Today Tim and I are at home...the poor kid is getting over a pretty bad cold with caughing, ear ache and all the "fun" stuff that comes with it and I took a moment to blog while he's napping. Question to you guys - what do you do when your kiddos are sick? He doesn't feel like reading or doing anything, just watches TV. Your thoughts?

And since every blog post is better with photos, here's a couple of my yesterday's gifts:

Calgary Wedding Photographer: Gina & Robert {Full Post!}

It's been a few days since I wanted to post more (and here I mean MORE :)) photos from Gina and Robert's beautiful wedding! Sorry I made you guys wait so long (especially Dani, the bride's awesome sister, who was dying to see the photos more than anyone else! :))

When I think about this wedding 3 words come to my mind - fun, loving and relaxed. And these words were spot on when it came to the couple's families, the photos after the ceremony, the reception (they had an AMAZING DJ!). The whole day was filled with laughter, hugs, jokes, and crazy gymnastic tricks (Gina's brother and sister are awesome gymnasts). I loved every minute of it! Gina and Robert, welcome back from your honeymoon and hope you love the photos! :) Feel free to leave some comment love if you feel like. :)

The girls had their hair done at Eveline Charles. They did a beautiful job!
