Jeremy & Alex: Wedding
Jul 30, 2009

Canada has such a special place in my heart and it is because of the people. I meet a special family last year and I was blessed this year for them to bring me back and shoot their wedding. Alex and Jeremy are an awesome couple. Watching them is so special because it is obvious that they feel comfortable with each other and they show each other a part of themselves that is sacred and vulnerable. They had such a beautiful day and it was so genuinely them. They were themselves and it was fun to celebrate them and their love.

Now that I am a Mom, it tugs at my heartstrings to see a parent interacting with their child on their wedding day. I get all teared up just imagining Kai on his wedding day. So now a days I notice that I want to capture a parent and I feel so honored to be allowed to witness those precious moments.

Jeremy and Alex have a quiet presence but you can tell that they fill the space between them with love.

All 3 sisters had been given pearls by their parents. The way that these parents loved their girls brought tears to my eyes, more than once. I kept blaming it on the fact that I am pregnant :)

I love how much fun they were having while we were taking pictures. They really were footloose and fancy free. It was a gr8 time and I am now looking for a way to get back to Canada :)

Land of the Free and Home of the Brave
Jul 3, 2009

This July 4th I have the privilege to be in the land of the homesteaders and surrounded by God's beauty. In my opinion, one of the most stunning and awe inspiring places in our country. And to think of all the people that have fought and served and died to give us the freedoms and peace that I am able to enjoy, makes me really want to celebrate being an American this July 4th.

After watching how the election has been handled in Iran, I am gr8phul for a government who can peacefully go about their business. Even during the current recession, we live in the land of plenty and we have way more than most. Being an American affords us a LOT of privileges and opportunities and I will be extemely gr8phul for that as I bring my son to the parade or watch the fireworks go off over head.

God Bless America!
