ADORABLE!!!!

This little man is so ADORABLE!!!  At 5 months old there was so much to stimulate him that the camera was not a huge priority!  However, what an amazing little family Kellie, Jose, 5 month old Evan and puppy, Chloe, had to postpone their shoot twice due to A LOT of rain, so this day we got A LOT of sun, but we hid amongst grasses and trees and I love the LOVE in this beautiful family - here are a few of their photos ;-))








Brookedale Heritage Garden

So I have been driving past this new little family farm for almost a month now, and yesterday after finishing an engagement session with Jennifer & Terence I stopped to get some fresh vegetables and take some photos.  The owners were great, and I know the whole look and feeling at this stand.

It is a self-serve honour system which I think is so refreshing!  I picked up some fresh heritage lettuce with incredible taste!  I also grabbed the most incredible tender, sweet beets I have ever tasted!

It was drizzling while I was there which gave the huge garden of lettuces look so crisp and fresh!

Check them out on Benvoulin Road in Kelowna, or check them out on-line here.











I love all the old decor inside the sweet shop!






A calculator and notepad for you to figure out how much to put in the 'bird house' for your fresh vegetables! ;-)))



The family hard at work - picking peas to keep up to the demand!








 There is also lots of vibrant flowers on the property!

Flooded out!

So Angela has to be the best bride ever!!!   Talking to another wedding planner the next day - dealing with a bridezilla!! - I had to sit back and smile!   As my bride was SO amazing!!!   With everything that could go wrong - did go wrong!!!   Terrential rain during an outdoor ceremony is never a plus!!   However, when it is paired with a slippery grass slope, a forgotten marriage license, a lost driver, forgotten music (so total silence during the ceremony), the brides mom's red satin dress was so wet it looked like she just enjoyed a slip and slide!!!   Then there were the photos....if the rain wasn't dripping on all of our faces it was creeping up our ankles as we waded through what would have been a grassy park, a sidewalk, a road....that is right RECORD RAINFALL and FLOODING for Kelowna!!!  UGH!  We finish our photos and get to the hall, the cake has been dropped, the music not cued, there is no cork screw in site!!!!  What do we do!!!  The Bride carries on as if all is going as planned!!  AMAZZING!!!!

Amazing Bride - Amazing Wedding, and all made for amazing photos!!!   If you get a flood....work with a flood!

And Enjoy - after all - a wedding is about LOVE, RESPECT and COMPROMISE!   These two should get a year off of all that is difficult in lue of this day!   ;-))))

Fun Love ! with Steven & Gloria

I automatically fell in love with this amazing couple!  Their story is like no other!  Their lives a hurricane of wrongs, misfortune, and hope that something soon will change!  

They are so much fun...going against everything that is 'normal'   They are in love!  Getting married on a Tuesday!  So today we had a 10 minute shoot!  Such a fun time...and I wish I could have joined for breakfast at Mad Mango with them!!

Here are a few very Fun shots!







Early Birth!

So thank goodness we took the photos when we did!!!   Lisa gave birth 6 weeks early to Hayden Bentley Suter! 5 lbs, 13 oz's   He is already a week old and I can't wait to meet this little man, however a minimum of two weeks will keep me and the lens away from capturing this precious little guy!!!

Floral Fields

Due to the extreme wind - resulting in one of my favourite photos to date - it did not lend itself well to an outdoor session.  So this morning Lisa and I had a mini outdoor session in yellow floral fields!

Too Cute!
