Here are some photos I did for my brothers family in Hawaii. We only got a few because my niece decided it was time to go swimming in her dress….not that I can blame her.

A friend of mine shot these photos of me and my little man last week on my birthday! My sweet girl was sick so she was stuck in the house on the couch trying to keep her lunch down.

We made the Winter cover of Birthing Magazine this month. Very exciting stuff! Be sure to pick up your copy – on stands now!

Hello Friends,

I just got back from a very long, very fabulous, much needed vacation. Here are a few of my favorite photos form my trip. Some of these were taken on my phone…which is why the quality doesn’t look super fabulous! Enjoy.

Happy New Year!

So my brother recently started his own little company…and I wanted to send out well wishes to him and a BIG CONGRATULATIONS! If you guys are in need of any kind of insurance – be sure to contact him.  You can check out his website for details. Cheers!

I have a good explanation…well…excuse really. I’ve been having some issues with my beloved technology and haven’t been able to do much of anything this past week, including blogging. So yes…I’m behind and determined to get caught up. I have some more Boudoir peeks for you, families & another fabulous wedding to share. So stay tuned!

This past weekend I shot a wedding out in Cardston/Waterton with the now Mr & Mrs Trevor Bourne!

And here is a tiny peek at a few of the photos from their special day. Many more to come! Can’t wait to show them to you all!

My sister is married! The wedding is over (breath a sigh of relief and relaxation) and I have finished half of my editing. What can I say – I had a long drive home this week and was able to edit on my laptop in the car. Gotta love technology!

Anyway…there is so much to say about this wedding I have no idea how I’m going to put it into words! It was…stressful, emotional, amazing, happy-sad, exciting, fantastic, fabulous and beautiful! To see my sister get married was unreal, and to help her prepare, plan, shop, get ready and share all of the emotions of this experience with her was incredible. And to top it off, I was so honored that she asked me to do her photos. She was such a stunningly beautiful bride, I don’t think any photo could truly do her justice.

Before I share some of my favorite photos with you – let me give you a brief history on Kandice & Brady. They met at University down in the US, and as you probably remember from her engagement post – they met in the library when Brady asked Kandice to judge a ‘chair racing contest.’ I think it’s safe to say that the circumstances in which they met illustrate them pretty well. They are a very playful, fun couple who always seem to be laughing and smiling when they are together. I love them with all of my heart and I’m so thrilled to have Brady as a member of our family!

So – onto the photos. This is going to be a LONG post of pictures for two reasons…1. Their wedding was broken up a bit with two receptions because they grew up in different cities (and countries) so we had a few events to cover including 2 receptions, the actual wedding itself, Kandice’s bridals and a family luncheon. Whew. And the 2nd reason I have so many photos is because…well she’s my sister and I couldn’t decide which ones to share.

Anyway…we had some tough light on their wedding day with a completely white and dull overcast sky….but we made the most of it and I think the beautiful bride & her handsome groom shone right through the haze. Here is a peek at their wedding. To view a fast-pace slide show for a peek at their wedding experience; click here.

After the ceremony they came out to greet the waiting crowd of family & friends.

I know I don’t normally post a lot of family photos – and these ones were tough since I had to be in most of them.

Quite sure this is my favorite photo from the wedding day!

Me and my sister! And…Brady’s sister Kate. She cracks me up. That shot is from the Open House they had in Idaho. She was directing traffic to the refreshments.

This weekend I accomplished two things; I grabbed myself the much anticipated ipad, and shot my sweet sisters wedding. I’m still down here in the US for a couple of days, but the chaos is over and my sister is married! Woo hoo! She is happily lounging in Hawaii right about now while I sit here in front of my tv at my inlaws house enjoying sorting & editing her wedding photos. My little man is cuddled up next to me playing a spelling game on the ipad and I’m debating which of my sisters photos to give you a peek of. Maybe I’ll show you two. More to come!

disclaimer: I edited these two on my laptop which is NOT calibrated…so the color might be a bit off. I’ll correct them for the real post on my computer at home.
