reunion in the cold cold north!

Belated birthday celebrations. Baked goods. Harry Potter. Food. More food. And then some more food with smoothies thrown in. Beautiful music. Late night talks. Hugs galore. Giggles that made our stomachs hurt. Cameras snapping. Braving cold weather. Red capes.

This about sums up Kelsey's visit to the cold cold north, called Edmonton, and our amazing reunion :) And just for you lovely people, I've included a sneak peek of our upcoming Little Red inspiration shoot at the very bottom of this post... I hope these photos make you as happy as they make me!

And last but not least, a sneak peek of what's coming to the blog soon!
You know you want to leave some love and comment on how ridiculously stunning Kels is... so go on, do it. Leave her some love =)

a weekend in jasper.

I am in love with the mountains and although Edmonton is a little far away from them... I do love that we're still in driving distance of our gorgeous Canadian Rockies. They're definitely one of my favourite places in this world and I'm always amazed by the wildlife I encounter too - there is nothing more humbling to me than being in God's gorgeous creation.

weekly wrap-up: photography projects and a milkshake

I won't lie... this past week has really been all about photography. It seems like all I've done is taken photoshoots and then spent hours upon hours editing wedding after wedding after engagement session after newborn session after more weddings... if it sounds like I'm a little tired of editing, it's cause I AM. 

But I still love it! 

But because it's driving me crazy, I indulged and had a milkshake. And it was awesome. And I could probably have milkshakes every day, if a) I could afford it financially and b) if my teeth weren't so sensitive! 

Anyways, back to the point. This milkshake saved my life this week. 

And now, here's some of the photography I've been editing, since I literally have nothing else to show for this week cause I've spent the majority of it cooped up in my office editing, or at work, or taking more photography sessions... sorry for repeating myself, but seriously! This was what my week looked like: finished up this adorable couple's engagement session..

Literally, JUST finished editing this unique couple's wedding!
Yesssssss - 1 down, only 3 more to go.... 

And then I had the awesome privilege of working with Chantilly Lace Designs again for her brand new launch of her kids line of hair accessories! We did a little victorian tea party with some precious little princesses, who despite these serious photos were SO ecstatic to be models!

And I could go on and on with sneak peeks from more photography projects... but that wouldn't be fair to my clients, so that's all! Have a great week, dear friends :)
