summer

so just a fun photo that is so our family, so summer and hot weather and soooo where our family spends many of afternoons. its been that way for me for as long as i can remember. 7-eleven and me go way back. and of course my children had to be introduced at an early age!

rebecca took these images the night after our family photo session. god bless her. i think they are some of my favorites. they are so us!

so sorry about the lack of blog updates lately, we, rebecca and i, are working our little fingers off on the computers editing and getting a few sessions done and delivered this week. and then its full on summer wedding season. that and tim is off on a one week bike race right now. he is doing the BC BIKE race. its a bit crazy but so far after day 4 he is doing pretty good. he is only missing the kids a tiny bit. yes thats a lie, i think he is really hurting being away from them this long. as for me, being a single parent is hard... hats off to all of those people out there doing it every day. i am a very very lucky women to have a husband who contributes as much as mine. 

xoxo happy canada day and wow, happy hot weather, get out there and grab a slurpee and licorice!

a jump into the future

i had the pleasure of photographing a pre-grad party this afternoon for a group of kids before their big graduation ceremonies this evening. wow, so beautiful to see all the girls dressed up. the hair, the make-up, the shoes. wow, the shoes! and the boys, equally impressive. i will post some more later but just two sweet photos for now. these two young ladies took one big leap and it was awesome!

a mood

not sure what the teenage years will bring. she is beautiful, independent and i love her.

and he is goofy and sweet and of course the love... its just such sweet love

and i am lucky, my kids can entertain themselves anywhere. here they are at daddy's favorite hang out... the bike store. standing under the skylight. 

thats us, on a sunday, on fathers day. no photos of daddy, but he was with us, hanging out and having the best day. xoxo hope you had a great one too.

coffee date with handsome twins

yep they are gorgeous and i love them. my girlfriends very very handsome boys.

a date with mom on her 9th birthday

i met up with some clients to deliver some photos today. and how sweet that it was just mom and daughter spending the day shopping and having lunch. a special treat i am sure when there are three kids to share mom's love. so on this day it was just the two of them and i couldn't resist taking a few photos of them. they looked so adorable and happy.  happy 9th birthday miss "n" you are a very very wonderful girl and not to mention beautiful. but then again look at your mommy. she is gorgeous too!
