Holly

Look who is all grown up and ready to take on the world.

Wow, check out those eyes...and those lips.

The Beautiful Jessica

Here is Jessica on the day of her grad party. We intend to do a real photoshoot later this month but some of these turned out so well that I couldn't resist showing of the sweet and lovely little Miss Jessica. So I hope everyone enjoys these.

Love this picture and love how the bright pink dress in the sunlight reflects up onto Jessica's face and gives her creamy soft pink skin tones.

What can I say about these eyes. I could take pictures of her forever.

A lovely smile just for me.

A modern day Princess.

And last, but not least, my favorite. I love how her eyes are smiling here as well as her lips. Jessica, you are absolutely gorgeous.

Christina and Jay say I do.

I was just lucky enough to catch this ray coming down as she was standing there. Below is a picture that does not have it. I love the one with the rays coming down, but you do see Christina and how beautiful she looked that day, clearer in the bottom picture.

Truly one of the prettiest brides I have ever had the good fortune to photograph. I think she looked amazing.

The groom. The bride always is the focus of the day.

Beautiful young woman.

halloween

I hardly ever put personal blogs on here but I had so much fun with my family this Halloween and they all went to so much work to look fabulous and so I wanted to share.

I suggested that they use this first picture as their family Christmas card!

The adorable little Lexi Lou Lou, or little BAD BOOTS!

Awe, a true little princess

Yup, little Bad Boots!
One cute little kitty. She certainly has perfected that give me whatever I want look!

Hauntingly Beautiful Little Miss Niki

I wouldn't want to run into this group in the middle of the forest.

Mikasa and Kevin tie the knot!

Absolutely gorgeous. Mikasa you looked perfect and so in love!

My sister , who graciously agreed to help me out at this wedding, snapped this picture. I was scouting locations while she was waiting with the bride and groom. Apparently, Mikasa commented on how sore her feet were. Kevin removed her shoes and gave her a foot message, and my sister snapped the picture. Good work all three of you...Dawn for getting the shot, Mikasa for getting a man willing to do this, and Kevin, for being that kind of man!

We did this wedding shoot at Fish Creek Park in Calgary Alberta, and until this wedding I did not realize this lovely part of the park existed. There were lots and lots of really great locations to take pictures. If only we would have had more time. Ah, the wish of all photographers ...more time and more light!

We found this wonderful old red wagon at the park. I am pretty sure we were not supposed to climb in it and by the look on these two faces I am pretty sure they agree with me.

All I can do is quote what my sister said when she saw this shot, "this really proves white men can't jump." However, in fairness to these guys I did ask them to show me how they thought girls jumped. So there you go girls , this is how you look when you jump...not very pretty is it?

These next two pictures are a couple of the ones we shot the morning before the wedding. I would love to add a few more because Mikasa looked absolutely radiant and very alluring; however, I do not want to risk the wrath of her mother and so this is all this blog gets of this particular shoot.

Now these are Mikasa's pictures from her bridal shoot. If I could do one thing as a wedding photographer, it would be to talk all brides into doing a bridal shoot before the actual wedding day. We did these the night before. I love a bridal shoot because I find brides are excited and happy and not at all stressed or tired from the actual wedding day. We always have fun and I think the pictures show that. Thanks Mikasa for valuing my opinion and going along with me and I hope you think it was worth it.

Mikassa had wonderful hot pink high heeled shoes for her wedding day, but when we saw all the great shoes she had to choose from we realized that it was probably a tough choice deciding which ones to actually wear on the big day.
