I'm sure you all are getting tired of me talking about the weather, but seriously, it rules my life!  Layne, Al and I rescheduled their engagement shoot TWICE!  I'm not sure if that builds up the excitement or if it does the exact opposite.  Either way, I was ecstatic when the day of our third attempt turned out to be beautiful!!  With the exception of the mosquitoes, of course!  Well, beggars can't be choosers right?!?  

I met Layne at Kirsten and Mike's wedding.  She contacted me shortly there after to meet up and discuss her own upcoming wedding.  I met up with she and Al in their home and we chatted about weddings, how they met, what they liked to do, the excitement of being new home owners...  I had a great time chatting with them like we were old friends.  The engagement shoot was no different.  I had so much fun with these two!! 

 Layne and Al will be married next August. For their engagement slideshow Click Here.

October 16, 2009 // Engagement
I met Shawn and Colleen for the first time over coffee at Starbucks.  Right away I loved how easy they were to talk to.  Sometimes I meet with couples and I find it a bit awkward, or difficult, to make conversation.  It's sort of like dating, this business of me looking for clients and them looking for a photographer.  It's like dating because we are trying to find a connection, something to make us feel closer, something that will make it more comfortable for me to have my camera in their faces and to barge into their homes and photograph one of the most personal days of their lives.  I encourage my clients to shop around and find someone with not only a style that they love, but someone they can trust.  It's so important to have that trust with your photographer, because they work best if they can do their thing and be creative and are given lots of freedom.  My favorite clients are the ones who book me because they love what I do, and trust me to do just that!  Shawn and Colleen fit the part.  We met up in downtown Winnipeg for their engagement shoot, and they just let me do my thing.  These two are super sweet and made me feel so comfortable.  I love when my job can be so easy!

Shawn and Colleen's wedding is in August 2010.  I can't wait to spend the day with them and capture every sweet moment.

Yesterday was Twila and Kris's 4 year anniversary.  We weren't exactly taking anniversary photos, however.  In a matter of weeks they will be adding to their sweet little family.  Here's a little sneak peek for them, a little anniversary gift!!

This is my sister Kim and her family.  They will be moving to Winnipeg soon so I will see them even less than I already do.  I feel a little sorry for myself every time I think about it.  James will be starting his new position at Inner City Youth in January.  I'm so proud of you guys for what you are doing!  Winkler will miss you!  

I decided to throw a bunch of photos from Tessa's first birthday party into the slideshow.  I feel they help tell the story of this beautiful family.
