some more black and whites...

 just couldn't help myself...there were so many shots i loved from this session.

bubbles

a few things i learned on sunday:
1. giving your mom a photo session for mothers day will always be a hit.
2. post nap kids aren't always the easiest to please.
3. but bubbles?  bubbles change everything.

sand+trees+sun=i love my job

this gorgeous couple is set to be married in their home country in july, but since the pictures there would be more formal, they decided to have some engagement shots taken in vancouver.  with their sweet interactions, her designer clothes and the beautifully natural backdrop, my job was easy!

geography lesson

what a great way to spend an evening!  this couple's laughter was infectious...they have so much fun together.  i couldn't quite get over how cute they were and when i first got a glimpse of the pictures, it was confirmed.  super cute.  and not only did i have a great time, i learned something new - where mauritius is! that's where fred is from and after googling it, i think i'm going to be asking for some hotel recommendations because it seriously looks like one of the most beautiful places on earth.

special thanks to stacey malleck for the "fresh fruit" inspiration...
