Olivia & Kevin {Engagement}


Olivia + Kevin = Love bugs. Literally. They love each other and they love VW bugs! They have one each! How's that for a match made in Heaven? I've known Olivia for a couple years now, and it was great to be able to photograph her and her new fiance. Olivia's mom lives on a gorgeous, and I mean GORGEOUS, piece of property down on the flats. It's so beautiful in fact, that if I had the money, I would buy it right now! There were so many great spots to take pictures here and around the place, and Olivia and Kevin had some great props and ideas. Olivia told me how romantic it is to have your photos done with your loved one, and it totally is! I hadn't really thought of it before, but these two showed me that it is! Olivia and Kevin,  anyone looking at you two would know that it's true love. Thank you for letting me share a little bit of it through my camera. Keep the love alive, God first, and your marriage will be blessed. 




Of course if you know me, you know I love dogs. So naturally, I would include them in the photos! Actually we had no choice but to put them inside after awhile because they wanted to be in every photo. And of course, they are not the center of attention in this chase! But I can't complain, there were puppies to play with after all!








Stunning, stunning, stunning ring!!



Cute bikes? Yes please!



I love this black and white one.



See? I told you! His/Hers cars. Isn't that awesome? Seriously, when I saw them,  I died.




We then proceeded (or attempted) to take pictures in some farmers corn. Not any old farmer. A farmer that, from personal experience, does not like people on his field. When Dustin and I got married, we got Dustin's dad to go ask for permission, and (thank you, Lord) he said yes! We did not ask for permission this time, and we thought we were in the clear because of the tall corn surrounding us. We were safe, until his big JD tractor drove by which caused Olivia to panic and I got this shot...


Haha. So funny! So I quickly snapped a couple more photos and we got out of there lickady-split! I don't think Kevin quite understood the consequences we could now be facing had we been spotted, but we didn't face the wrath of the farmer. Hopefully Olivia's mom hasn't gotten any calls...









The sunset was absolutely gorgeous. I hope the rest of October is like this!



And that concludes my favourites! Sorry there were so many, I just couldn't choose! Every photoshoot I do I learn more and more and can't wait to see what I learn next time! Thanks Olivia and Kevin for being so natural and easy to photograph! You're a beautiful couple inside and out.

The Dueck Family {Family}



Don't you love this "Modern Family" style idea? How great of this family to include their love ones that live far away! Well, not only are they a great family, they're wonderful friends and fantastically beautiful and easy to photograph! This was my first extended family shoot, so when Vanessa responded to my ad for more experience, I gladly accepted the challenge! Vanessa and Jordan are dear friends of ours, so it was great to be able to do this for them and their family! Aren't they all gorgeous?


Ev and Perry and their son. He's so cute, and I love his style!



Jordan and Vanessa and their adorable son! He was so cold, but was so good!



Chris and Tobi and their beautiful son! Ev had a great idea for the photo below and I really like how it turned out!


Yes. They are grandparents. I hope I look this amazing when I'm a GrammE!



We then went down to the park under the Mission bridge for some more photos. The weather was cold, but beautiful! No rain! Thank you, Jesus!



Ev was so awesome! She had lots of great posing ideas, which made it very easy for me! She was great at telling everyone what to do, and I told her that she had to come to all my photoshoots with me!




Could they look any more alike? So cute!




Such a beautiful couple, inside and out.




Tobi, you are gorgeous! Every photo I got of you was seriously stunning!




Don't you love his shoes? He totally rocked them!


Thank you Dueck family for a wonderful day and for letting me experiment with my camera and being patient while I had to keep swapping memory cards! I got waaaaay too many pictures, but they were all great! You were all fabulous.
