The JOY of Family

OK OK Yes this photo was somewhat staged.....However, I love the simplicity of the concrete background and I know the Grandma and Grandpa will love it too.  Thanks To Taeya and Elizabeth for getting the trend started!!  Thank you to Megan for getting all of you girls in the 'proper' line.....All four of you are amazingly beautiful and simply amazing in your own way!!!  You each bless our lives everyday...me as a Mama, Stepmom, and Aunty!!!   Thank you to all of you amazing beauties!!!!, all your love, ambition and beauty is so inspiring to my photography!!!!

At Grandma's House...

Ted's parents live on a gorgeous piece of land, with so many things to see and do....and of course photograph!  Here are a few of my favourite things!

Grandma's Swings

Dave & Tanya's chocolate Kisses

These are the favours for Dave and Tanya's wedding!!  I love the rich purple!!

A bump in the road....

On the way up to Beaver lake there are plenty of 'wild' cows grazing, with no fencing to keep them off the road...'which they apparently own'  This Mama was not to happy that we were stopping and let us know after she was finished chewing her grass!!!  The babies are adorable...but I did not want the truck to get rammed...so we let them be!!

Paige's 2 front Teeth!!!

Paige's 2 front adult teeth are already in...however, her babies are not ready to fall out...so instead the new teeth are causing them to stick straight out (think of Disney's Goofy ;-))  It is to cute...especially when she is cold, while fishing, and tucking her chin in her life jacket!!!  HE HE!

Fishing Details

Unfortunately the two bites we got on the rods...got away!  Therefore I had no fish to take photos of, so I thought these few details would be the memory we needed.  We came up with a big elaborate 'fisher person' story about the 14 huge fish we caught but due to our love for wildlife we released them...;-)  Hey we all need some exaggerated fishing story don't we?

Floating Flower

For Father's Day we took the girls fishing up to Beaver Lake!  It was so busy with celebration and family fishing challenges.  A little girl on the shore line was picking dandelions and sending them off to float away.  I love how the reflection...finishes the flower.  I played around with different apertures and lighting to get a few really neat effects.  Thanks for taking a look!

3 Generations of Love...

This is my gorgeous mom Sue and precious niece Payton!!!  My Girlfriend (Goldspun photography) took these!!  I love the diversity....yet the similarity!!!.... " Aunty we are twins aren't we???" Payton asked to which I answered...."closer then you can imagine my love!!!"  Hence the last photo of our secret snuggle!
