Yesterday I went to Bowen Island for a shoot with Michelle. There aren't enough words to accurately describe her beauty, so instead I'll just post a photo. Stay tuned for more of the 'Vintage Summer' Series with Actress Michelle Harrison and make-up artist Rebekah Nakashima.
With only a month left before she delivers twins, Milva is absolutely radiant. I loved watching how the two have adapted to the pregnancy... Ryan helping her do the little things that Milva can no longer do with her beautiful tummy in the way anymore. They are such a sweet couple.
I can't wait to meet the new addition to the family! Thanks for such a fun day... xoxo
This past weekend was my grandmother's 80th birthday. 80 years... and still her beauty radiates like no other. For her whole life, she has taken care of her family. She's kept us warm, first sewing and knitting clothes for her children, then grandchildren and now great-grandchildren. She feeds our bodies with delicious cooking and baking, and no-one ever leaves her house empty handed. But most importantly, she feeds our hearts and souls with an unconditional love in a way only she knows how.
I am so blessed to be part of this family. It is made of a fabric woven of love and hope, mistakes made, lessons taught and knowledge gained. It is made of forgiveness and acceptance. It is the net that catches me when I fall, it is the support that encourages me to follow my dreams. It is everything... and it all started with this amazing woman whom I call Grandma. I see her in all of us, some have her eyes, some her smile... but I can only hope to have even a sliver of her spirit, this beautiful, enduring spirit that keeps her radiant today.
You are our treasure, Grandma, in every way. Happy 80th Birthday... xoxo
Jamus had a crush on Laura in grade 2, but it was long after they were done school that they actually started dating. And now, about 7 years later, they are getting married. What a great love story...
I love watching a couple interact, how they look at each other, talk to each other, touch each other. You can learn so much by a simple gesture. It was obvious how much Jamus and Laura completely adored each other, and there was such consideration and respect.
Jamus and Laura, I had so much fun with you both! I wish you a truly wonderful life together... xoxo
Madelyn smiled right from the start. Beautiful blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and easy to laugh. Almost a year old, she's not quite walking, but you know her little legs are eager to go explore her growing world.
Jaimie and Trevor, thank you for the great day... such a beautiful family!
I have known Sheree for as long as I can remember. Being older than myself, we didn't share the same classes in high school, but at one point, we did share an intense love for New Kids on the Block (aka NKOTB) ;)
Sheree has such an exuberant energy, it's hard not to smile when she is around. Apparently Blake feels the same way, because I only see him grinning ear to ear when she is by his side. There is a tenderness between them... and so much laughter.
Both the day before and after were a mixed bag, but the sun shone in a near cloudless sky for them. It was an idylic wedding on the lake with so many beautiful details. It was perfect.
It was an honor to share in your special day. I had so much fun... I wish you endless love and laughter! xoxo
So many photoshoots and so much editing... here's a peak from a stunning engagement shoot with Jamus and Laura.
