Familiar Faces

Would it be a bad thing if I played favouritism?

Probably! lol

Nonetheless, this is one of my favorite families to see each year.  Every year just a little bit taller...and the new furry addition certainly completes this family.

Newborn Girl

I love meeting new parents.  They buy such cute things... like these shoes. A baby girl can never have enough shoes. :-)

Table For Four

Back in the studio! Tis the season to stay inside and be warm!

I love nothing more than a laid back family session.... and these folks happen to be adorably photogenic. :-)

Homemade Heaven

Last year I made homemade salt scrubs for Christmas gifts. There is nothing I love more than a heartfelt homemade gift.

So I have some ideas brewing for this year... but I can't give out any secrets yet.

Here was the salt scrub lab last year... and I think Im still finding sea salt on the floor. ;-)  Sadly I can't remember the recipe I followed... but when you google homemade salt scrubs, there are lots of options that come up to make your own creation.

Assistant Anna

I'm always so thankful to have help during a wedding. ...but my taurus nature, makes me a stubborn one to actually ask for the help.  I prefer to try and get'r'done on my own and I'd like to think its possible to carry 17 heavy bags on my own. LOL  ;-)

Anna has helped me a few times and knows the drill.

She's got my back. ;-)  ...but I only wished she lived in Saskatoon!!!

Hello You, Its Me Again

I don't know what it is about coming back from a trip...but I feel like fixing the kitchen sink, making soups, stepping on a scale, buying presents and hitting the gym. (In no particular order)

Ohhhh Weight Watchers, I left you behind years ago, but turns out... I need you.

I'm not usually one to follow numbers, although!.....Thanks to my partner in crime,  I do love the number 22 because its lucky, and the number 11 is awesome because X2 it equals 22.  Oh and my favorite number is 7 because it looks like an upside down L.....  But anyhow, the Weight Watchers scale read 164 today.
:-0 uuuugh.  1 6 4... that number kinda sucks for me. *Blush*  That number haunted me 6 years ago when I stepped on a Weight Watchers scale and that number haunted me on today....which happens to be 22/11/11. But have no fear... those are good numbers. Trust me: Today wasss a good day, even though I had some numbers haunt me. :-)

In the past, I've lost weight, maintained, gained, lost, got in super shape, gained, maintained, lost, gained... repeat.  Its a daily struggle for most women I know and yes its just easier to not pay attention to what goes in your mouth, cook with butter and to leave those runners on the shelf. Its been a blast eating whatever I wanted, drinking whatever I wanted and not really keeping super duper active.... because in my life, I really love to indulge.  Those days aren't over... but they are on the shelf for a bit.  So its a sad, yet uber exciting time right now.  Is that possible?  Okay, I'll drop the sad.

I say hello to...
Portion control
Being accountable
Exercise
Dancing
Laughing
Staying positive

When you blog about it. You gotta follow through.

There.

Its a done deal now. ;-)

Debbie, thanks for still being a leader. You rock.

Hawaiian Nuts

We're enjoying this Hawaiian life waaaaaaay toooooo much.   I think its time to come back to the snowy Saskatchewan land.  

We miss you all.... ;-)

November 11th 2011 (Scott & Serena)

'Tis a day to remember for this lovely couple. 11 11 11 in Hawaii. :-)

Their ceremony was breathtaking...and I can only tell you... the love they share warms my heart.

There is something amazing about a small intimate wedding group. ... and I've totally enjoyed capturing candids all the way up to this point. :-)
