|VICKY & STEFAN| couples

On Sunday afternoon I had my first Couples session with my sister and her husband. They were gracious enough to be my guinea pigs! I'm quite happy with the results. I'm still working on some new techniques and trying different stuff out, hence the practice photo shoots!

Tomorrow is the Newborn shoot which I'm also very excited about!

Sneak Peak

Here's a few pictures from today's session. More to come!

I. Heart. Shopping.

Retail Therapy. It costs about as much as Lie-On-The-Sofa Therapy, but there's less tears involved (until your husband sees the Mastercard bill!)

I enjoy shopping. It's relaxing... well, somewhat relaxing, some of the time. Yesterday my mom, sister and I went down to the Seattle Premium Outlets for a day of shopping. It was great to stock up on some needed, or wanted, items and to get some great deals. These were probably my favourite purchase. I should mention that I also heart Nine West!

My daughter got another pair of shoes this week from her grandparents. Before I show you pictures I just have to say that I understand why people may be into the whole Crocs thing, what with their being plastic and waterproof, easy to slip on, easy to clean off, comfortable, etc. And there's one thing to buy a black pair, but what's with the neons and bright colours? Ok, so you bought a pair of neon Crocs, do you seriously need to wear them out in public? It's one of my pet peeves, along with people wearing their pajama pants in public. Is it really that hard to throw on a pair of sweat pants and even flip flops? Flip flops are made of plastic and easy to slip on too, so you have no excuse.

Anyway, that being said, I don't mind mini Crocs. Anything mini is aceptable to me. Here's the latest addition to my daughter's Size 1 shoe collection:

See. These are cute. But when a grown woman goes out with pink Crocs on her feet, not so cute. Just a little fashion tip I'm throwing in for free!

Picture taking has been a little slow this week. The weather has gone downhill, too. Seems winter is making a late appearance in the Lower Mainland. So you'll have to be content with pictures of shoes. BUT, next week is a whole other story! I have a Couples session on Sunday (weather permitting), and a Newborn session on Tuesday (which, oh my word, you're going to love because she's pretty adorable!) So, don't delete my blog from your favourites quite yet! There is more to come!

To end, I'd like to show off my husband. He's a babe in my books. Here's proof:

|BROOKLYN| baby

Good friends of ours from out of town came to visit us today. We had a great time catching up and watching our daughters, only 7 weeks apart in age, "play" with each other. We took them to Wendel's Cafe in Fort Langley (yes, I'm obsessed with Fort Langley and dream of living there one day!) for lunch and walked around some of the back roads, gawking at all the gorgeous homes.

Babies are great to photograph because they are just too cute, and Brooklyn is no exception! What a cutie pie!

After many more hours of playing with my pictures, I have a few more to share.

Thanks again, Sarah, for being my model! It was fun!

Some people consider procrastination a bad thing, but in this case it was a great thing! My friend, Sarah, had yet to dry clean her wedding dress since that special day almost 3 years ago, so she volunteered to be my model for the day!

We had perfect weather for a fabulous session in my favourite place in the lower mainland- Fort Langley. Yes, it's just that good! Here are some of my favourites, and I might try to post some more later. Let me know what you think!
