Geordie and Rachel are Getting Married

We feel so lucky. Yes! That is us! Geordie and I were engaged oh, about a month ago, we're slow on the announcing front.
We are lucky though because through a friend we discovered Brittany Staddon, an incredibly talented photographer in the Calgary area. She made the trek out to Brooks this past weekend to do an engagement session with us and we are so excited that she is going to be our photographer. Here are a couple pictures she took for us. Isn't she awesome!

Stephanie and Mark!

Bloggins Spree here I come.

Introducing Stephanie and Mark Havens.
I was so psyched to meet these two. A mutual friend put us in touch almost last minute, when they decided to get married last minute in Banff. It was a bit of a drizzly day, but not rainy enough to dampen anyone's high. Their friends were great and boy oh boy are these two in love!





Gotta love finding a cool coloured tourist boat!





We headed to the old Bankhead church for some photos, a place I love to photograph in.









Yes, I know... another train shot... I am getting kind of obsessed with trains. I'd love to know what your favorite ones are!




I totally dug the umbrella's

Steph and Mark knew what they wanted, something nice and small and on a Lake, and I am glad that we met... especially because they brought CRAVE cupcakes!!! Thanks for the fun day!

Mike and Rosie!

I feel a wave of blogging coming on. LOOK OUT!

As previously mentioned... Rosie and Mike!!
These two are brilliant. Not only are they ridiculously fun to hang out with, I have worked with them in and out of restaurants since I was 12... (YES! I was working at 12! My cousins and I used to sweep the patio of the restaurant my aunt and uncle owned, Rosie worked there too... I say we cousin's 'worked' there, but really we drank hot chocolate from one of those instant machines in the kitchen and looked for coins in the cracks of the patio in the early morning hours... sometimes they were ever so carefully placed under the feet of the picnic benches by my aunt)...

Sorry, I got carried away there.

Mostly, I wanted to say that I have known these two since I was a kid. Mike was kind enough to let me hostess at Zona's in Canmore when he was managing it and I am so glad because I have met some of the greatest people through those few years.

Now the two of them will be three of them, and I am excited to meet the little one in October!





I really like this one. The bench was still heavily covered in morning dew when we arrived, but Rosie got down to business. I appreciate it so much when people are just willing to get the shot!







This one was Mike's idea, and I am so glad!!



Elwood and Cheeks needed to be in the photos too!

Still editing!!

While I edit away, I wanted to share a photo from last weekend that I love! Mike and Rosie are friends from Canmore and Rosie is due in October. We spent the morning wandering around town catching up and snapping photos, this is one of the last ones of the session and I am so happy to capture them so relaxed. Mike and Rosie also own The Trough restaurant in Canmore... hmmmmmmm... it is such a treat!

This image is also an image that can be seen inside Lubelle Boutique, a new women's fashion store in Brooks. Cindy and Thelma, the great gals that own the place, were ever so kind to let me display some work there. If you're in town you should check out the store, there is lots and lots of stuff to want!

Also, there are still spots open for the Mini Sessions!

Thanks for hanging in there everyone. I should be back at it next week.

Fall Mini Session in Brooks

I know... I KNOW! I've left you all hanging for weeks. The thing is, I have been editing like a mad women... and I still have nothing to show for it. I promise I'll blog like crazy, SOON!

Summer transition into Fall has been crazy! It's been so busy, and isn't that lucky. I've been doing a lot of photography and getting a chance to meet a lot of great people.

So, while I am in the spirit of Fall and can't hardly wait for the leaves to change, I thought I would offer a Mini Session. Don't worry Canmore people, I will also set on up at home #2, but not until October, so keep checking back. For all your Brooksites (is that the right word?) out there, it's a first come, first serve day. I love Kinbrook Island Park in the Fall, it's a beautiful area with lots of background options and natural settings.

This is a great way to get a few pictures done for Christmas cards, or as presents... you have to book in advance though.

Hope to hear from you soon!
