The coolest dude I know…

I know I’ve said it before but I think my 4 year old son is the coolest dude I’ve ever met. He’s hilarious, he’s kind, he has an amazing imagination, he has the cutest little face and playful blue eyes and most of all he loves Transformers. I love that I get to spend as much time with him as I do with the flexibility of my job and he cracks me up on a daily basis. He makes it hard to be mad at him even when he does something like giving my iPod touch a bath because he said it was dirty; he’s such a helpful boy. That’s the kind of kid he is.
Here are some photos of him from Pavan Park from a few evenings ago:

Offbeat bride

I love interesting and unique things. I love when people put their personality into the things they do, write, create. And when it comes to weddings I love when people think “outside the box”. When a bride and groom really put their own personal touch on their wedding it can be really fantastic! Doing something that is unpredictable and unique can really make your wedding day that much more memorable for the bride and groom and for their guests.
Offbeat bride is an amazing online resource for all things unique and wedding related. The brides and grooms featured on this site are really inspiring and an attest to the creativity and personalization that can be put into ones’ very special day. If you are looking for a fresh twist on weddings, please take a look at the site.

Jen and Joe : Wedding | Lethbridge Wedding Photographer

I had the pleasure of shooting the wedding of Jen and Joe this weekend. This couple is just WAY too cute! Seriously they make my job SO much easier;) We did their engagement photos last Fall and they turned out so great!
I started out the day with the lovely ladies, Jen, Rainette, Lily, Amanda and Joe’s mom Mona, at Merle Norman downtown where they got their make up done. The girls there did an amazing job!

Off to get dressed and then it was time for the ceremony at St Patrick’s Church downtown. St Pats is such a beautiful church. All the stained glass and the arched ceilings are just stunning.

It was so scorching hot outside! I think we topped out at about 35 degrees!! For the most part everyone were good sports as we drug them all around downtown and then down to the river bottom in the almost unbearable heat.
Here is one that I snagged as we were traipsing around downtown…I shot it from the hip…

I want to give a big shout out to my friend and fellow photographer, Devon Durocher, for coming and helping me out. I so so appreciate it:)

A little bit of home…

I am originally from a very small town in British Columbia called Galloway. It isn’t even considered a town, a hamlet maybe… If you are at all familiar with the East Kootenays of B.C., Galloway is located pretty much right between Cranbrook and Fernie.
When I was 22 I made the decision to move to Lethbridge to attend university. Little did I know that one decision would totally change my life. Long story short, I met my future husband, we had a baby and now we call Lethbridge home.
My siblings and I loved growing up in Galloway. It is so gorgeous! And it’s so nice for me and my own family to go back to visit and to enjoy the beauty that surrounds us.
So this past weekend my son and I headed to my parent’s house in Galloway for a little visit and some R&R. It’s too bad it ended up pouring rain so we couldn’t enjoy a little pool time but today we were able to have a little fun outside.
Here are a few photos of my adventures around ‘home’.
