I'm here to tell your story...the joy, the laughs, the tears, and the memories along the way.

This wine has been a favourite for Cory & I this past while.  We don’t usually drink reds during the summer, but seem to be gravitating towards this one a lot lately.  We love how smooth it is…it’s great with a meal or sipping on the deck.  And our favourite glasses to drink from are these […]

I’m excited to begin this fun new series on my blog called Friday Faves.  Every week I’ll share items that are rocking my world and making me smile. This week I’m loving: Smashbox Tinted Green Primer – I picked up this dandy product at Sephora and put it on before applying my daily makeup.  My […]

Brandon couple Clinton and Ashley were married during their country wedding at the Agricultural Museum in Austin, Manitoba.  I first met this cuddly couple during their snowy engagement session earlier in the year.  I knew we would have a fabulous time on their wedding day as they were so easy going and willing to show their […]

A few years ago my love for fashion photography began to grow.  Fashion excites me, it’s trendy and fresh, thought out and put together…not to mention an art in itself.  It was an aspect I never saw myself gravitating towards, but I find I’m now enthralled with a love for fashion and the fashion industry. […]

Daniel and Whitney’s wedding was set in the spring, just as the trees were blooming.  The way Dan looked at his sweet bride that day is enough to makes anyone’s heart melt, he truly adores her!  The whole day could have been taken out of a fairytale…the breathtaking bride, smiles from everyone and how magical […]

I am a dreamer!  Probably one of the BIGGEST dreamers you’ll ever know.  I believe in dreaming big and doing what it takes to make it happen. I was pondering the other day…what do I really want my days to look like, which brought me to writing about my idea of a perfect day. A perfect […]

Troy and Rikki deserved the beautiful Saskatchewan spring day they had for their wedding.  It was perfect, the sun shone down on everyone during the outdoor ceremony at the Weyburn Courthouse where they said their vows in front of so many special loved ones.  Every aspect of their day was delightful…from all the stunning purple and gold […]

It’s been almost a month since Dad passed away.  My family and I have been visited by so many emotions during our grieving process.  A few weeks after he left us, I was having trouble focusing on work and the to-do lists of life, so I called my therapist (of almost two years) for a […]

Time doesn’t heal….It just teaches us how to live with the pain….. Honouring a life with a good word is a very difficult task as we learned preparing this summation of Dad’s life. I wanted to share his eulogy as an expression of my grief and a celebration of his life. I have to commend my sister Christa […]
