Monika & Mike! Engaged!

(Ok, you're thinking this might just be BLOGGING day! And You're RIGHT!!! That's what happens on a rainy day! Don't leave anyone out though, make sure to scroll all the way to the bottom and see Hazel and Jessie's slideshow too!)

You might recognize Monika & Mike from such posts as this one regarding their Super Duper Green Wedding coming up next August! They looked so good in their allegedly grubby clothes doing their gardening, that I knew I was in for a treat during their engagement shoot!

And I was! I had so much fun! And I hope you two did as well!

Thanks again for picking me! We're going to have fun at the wedding!

Here's some images and check out the link to the slideshow in the bottom of the post!

Isn't this so pretty!



Oh yeah!


LOVE LOVE LOVE this one, with the Sun Reflection on the water coming through the park bench!


Whoa honey!


Mike is still getting used to me being right in his face like that with my 50mm lens.


There's something about this shot!!!


The thing about my clients laughing like that is that I never know if they're laughing at me hiding behind the bushes to get this shot, or at something each other said...







Gorgeous...






I love how you can see a bunch of ducks with their "tails" up in the air as they dive for "fishies"!






Wow, what a day! It sure was worth it sitting here without lunch to get through these amazing shots today!

Thanks for waiting guys!

Michael & Lisa! Engaged!

It wasn't on a dating site, but it was definitely on the Internet...

Most of my clients come from the Internet or Referrals... And I LOVE it that way! They already know what to expect and they know they'll be happy with the end results!

That's how it was with Michael & Lisa. They surveyed a "million" sites (I'm so exaggerated!) and decided to give me a call!

So we met at one of my favorite parks and had a ball!

Thanks Mike and Lisa for inviting me into your lives, listening to all my crazy ideas, and kissing "on demand" as much as possible!

Here's a few shots! Links to the slideshow are also below!

Here's a "normal" shot.



These guys are soooo tall and have gorgeous long legs! I couldn't pass this up!




Blurry walking feet. Gotta love it.




I always say that a little flare never hurts anyone!




Flaring Nose Kisses!


We had already done some "Monkey Bars" shots and when I changed the angle and asked Mike to "do it again", this was his reaction! Then he told me that he only had one more "climb" left in him!


It sure was worth it eh?




LOVE this!








Nice Rock Lisa!

Hey CJ!! Check out your family pictures!

She's a stalker. But a good stalker.

I have a LOT of stalkers (you know who you are!), but she's been "blog/facebook" stalking me for a long long time!!!

So when she called me and asked me to do family pictures for her, I was really happy to be able to oblige!

She and Michael are soooo in love, it's wonderful! And their son, Toby, was really really a great subject! Not to mention the puppies!

Here it is, CJ, enjoy your pictures!




















And here's your slideshow!!

Ashley & Mike: Married!!! Sep 26, 2008

She was a bridesmaid in her brother's wedding party 5 years ago (Josh & Leah), and I know she had this princess dream that one day her prince would come and it would be her turn.

So when she and Mike came over to meet with me, I just knew that she had found her prince and he loved her more than anything!

The cool thing is that I've known these two since they were young teenagers!!! Ashley's brother is my brother's close friend, and Mike has been playing drums in our church since he was like 12, I'm sure!

He's the most amazing drummer you've ever heard!!! Right up there with Ringo!

Their wedding day was beautiful. We met up in Ashley's parent's farm in Anola and did most of the pictures there, then headed out to the city for some family and formal shots.

So on to the pictures!


All you need is...


Here, the handsome Mike waits for his bride.


They meet up just down the path from her parent's house.


The "meadow princess".






Here Alvin (Ashley's dad) shows off!


Don't you just love this shot?






All the farm animals were having a hay day! Oreo (the dog) wanted to be in every shot - as you can see... And the reason the boys are laughing so much is because the cat had his bum right on my head as I lay down to take this shot...

This sure is farm fun!


Boys...






Aren't they gorgeous?




Here's Ashley with her sister Leah (Josh's wife). They don't consider themselves "in-laws".


And here she is with her new sister Phoebe (I like to call Phoebe "Mary Poppins" - she's the world's most amazing babysitter)


Nothing like a line-up of girls...




Now back in the city for some rooftop goodness...


I love how high the boys are jumping here... I wanted to get some serious motion blur here...

But Simon wouldn't have any of it... No siree... He was just going to stand there and hold his Blue Jay...




This is a first for me. We arrived at the Leg and there were chairs by the fountain! What the heck, and why not?




Now, to the three couples who were at the wedding, that had me as their wedding photographer!

Josh & Leah! 2003!


Andrew and Theresa! 2003!


Jeremy & Megan, 2006... Oooh, is that a bump?


Here's their giveaways... Cereal and a decorated domino...


Cake topper...


And here they are, cutting their cake! Cupcakes for dessert! Yum!
