My very first Valentine photoshoot session with this lovely senior couple, my grandparents! 

Fred and Doreen absolutely enjoyed themselves, posing and smiling for the camera. I gathered some Valentine props for the shoot such as the heart-shaped chalkboard, "LOVE" sign and rose. Also, they included a picture of themselves taken in 1944 when they were dating. At that time, they were 15 and 17 years old. (photo 3). Their love remains strong 63 years later. ❤

I had so much fun on this shoot, and the photos from the session turned out so well! 

Enjoy the photos. =)

Colorful Leaves and a Puppy.

The moment I drove into the park, I was awestruck by the colourful autumn leaves on the trees. The temperature was perfect. The Canadian Geese were swarming around the pond. Such a perfect day for an outdoor photo shoot session today with a lovely couple with their adorable pug puppy. I'm honoured to get a glimpse of their love story.

Working with Denise, Jayson, and Tikki was one awesome experience! I'm so grateful for this opportunity because I'm able to add more of my work to my portfolio.

Golden Field and Gray Sky.

Yesterday evening, I went out to an open, golden field with stacked hay bales for an hour photo session with the Coutu family. The sky was looking very gray and dull, and the breeze was chilly, but their moods were incredibly happy. The two adorable boys were so ecstatic about having a chance to play on the hay bales, and the dogs were running around, happily. The mother was enjoying herself, watching her kids having the time of their lives. The energy was extremely positive.

Working with this great family was a huge experience for me, because I never worked with more than two people at a photo session. It took me a while to learn their energy and work with them. At the end of the session, I was feeling very good about the pictures that I took. I knew that this photo session was important to them, because they chose me to take family portraits of them. It was a huge upgrade for them because they went from Wal-Mart photo studio to an outdoor and fun photo session with me.

What a huge opportunity, and my portfolio is growing!

A Picture Is Worth A 1,000 Words.

I apologize for not keeping up with my blog, but what can I say? It's summer time, and that means I'm super-b busy with fabulous summer plans! This summer have been treating me wonderful lately, and I'm very grateful for each opportunity.

Jordan and I went to my cabin also known as paradise at Malachi, Ontario for a week with my family. I had a ton of opportunities to take wonderful shots because of the beautiful surrounding. Jordan and I finally became official again on July 15 after two months break, and we celebrated his birthday at the cabin as well. It was a fun-filled week!

We returned to Winnipeg for my cousin, Taylor's wedding. It was such an emotional day because my entire family have never seen my cousin so happy and in love with a girl before, and we welcomed Alicia into our family. The backyard setting for the wedding was perfectly gorgeous, but we all were under a huge white tent due to the on and off rain.

Shortly after the wedding, I got myself tattooed with two beautiful stars on my hip bones. It is a very spontaneous moment, and I don't regret it one bit. For people who are wondering why I chose stars, I'm absolutely absorbed into astronomy, and I'm always fascinated by them ever since I was a young lass.

My dear bestfriend, Chris, (the one who is holding a cup with pink straw) moved to Calgary yesterday for university. We had a mini farewell late lunch at an amazing crepe/bubble tea place, Kawaii Crepe. It was my friends' first visit, and they absolutely loved it there! It's pretty upsetting for all of us to let him go. I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving, so I could see him again.

Yesterday, Jordan and I went to Gimli because I've never been there, even though I lived in Winnipeg in my entire life. We brought my dear chihuahua, Cooper with us. It was an amazing afternoon because I pretty much fell in love with the town. It's so beachy, and reminds me a lot like Seaside, Oregon. (Jordan and I stayed there for a week for a beach volleyball tournament). Cooper definitely enjoyed himself as well, and he passed out the minute we got back to the car. So adorable!

Life's sweet.
