Shaun and Andrea Wedding

May 4 with rain clouds, wind and all did not seem a match for Andrea and Shaun.
the weather was a challenge but this couple all wrapped in love didn’t really even seem to notice it.
it was such a great day to capture. we cherished the feeling of young love that the day brought.


Shaun was not a fan of our cameras pointed at him, but the beautiful bride beside him kept his attention and we were able to capture this couple naturally as picturesque as they are.

Shaun and Andrea – all the best and we wish you nothing but happiness and joy in days to be.

Marty Edwards

Tuesday afternoon of last week Juanita and i headed out with an ambitious hardworking sales consultant here in the city.
Marty was looking for some shots that he would be able to use for his business portfolio.

it was not too hard to make this guy smile as he is naturally one of the happiest people i know.
we had some fun and laughs too.
thanks Marty and best of luck with all you pursue.

she was out in front of ours this past week.

congrats to both Scott and Tammy on the little bundle on the way.
you two are gonna make such amazing parents. i can just feel it.

Tammy – thank you for the colorful afternoon last Thursday.
it was a blast putting our 3 heads together for this shoot.
you are an amazing photographer and after the shoot i would say you are an amazing model too !!!

Juanita and i both feel so blessed that we have come to know you as a friend.
it truly feels like a third sister with a camera.

Tyler and Sara

the blue skies i see in you.

it’s amazing how time evolves.
we never thought years ago, we’d be able to capture these two wrapped up in love
they are such a great match
yesterday was such a incredible day as we witnessed the connection between them.

as we walked in the gorgeous afternoon sun, Tyler's exact words were….
”i am the luckiest guy to have a girl like her!!”

i guess life just works out for people who are willing to wait for the right person.

the best part (if you asked Tyler) was when we mentioned running through a spring puddle
he immediately got all excited
“that’s my girl…that’s her right there, that’s why i love her” he shouted and they splashed through the puddle
a fresh spring feeling

Tyler & Sara, we are so happy for you two
have an amazing day in South Dakota on May 18th
we just know with the love we witnessed yesterday, you two will have such an incredible future.

Growing.....in a few ways.

i can hardly begin to express how blessed i feel with all that has gone on in the last 3 months.
in both the business aspect of life and my personal life - they have been filled with sunshine and stars.


it has been a busy time and a trying time in some ways, but that seems to be the way life goes.
where so i start and what do i tell first.

i guess i should start back in January, when my husband came home from a business trip in Europe - at that i was not feeling normal – i remember telling him that i thought i was pregnant – with a little time and some tests - that feeling was true.
we learned that we are expecting a child in the beginning of October and we are just so so so excited.

over the past 3 months i was fairly sick.
i am very thankful for all the patient customers and clients.
i am also very thankful that i have a business that is operated from a home office ;)


before announcing the news to too many people, my sister / business partner made the choice that she is going to come on full time with Dream Photography in May.
her first day as a full time gal will be May 14th.

this is just going to be perfect and really a dream come true for a mother to be.
we will spend the summer working full time together and by the fall she will be ready for the reigns.
i know that the baby will take so much time and for this i am ready – however with the business right here at home, i will be able to still stay involved.


our husbands have been working some overtime on the basement renos. thank to them.
we will be relocating the Dream Photography office in the basement of our new home.
this way there is much more room and we will be setting up a client area to make the client experience more of an exceptional one.


i am also as thankful for the face list on the webpage.
a big thank you goes out once again to Daren and his company deezine.ca.

it’s wonderful how friends can work together to help each others companies grow.

just before Easter – Juan and i spent some time with an incredible person and artist.
our time with Jesh de Rox will not be forgotten.
it was 2 intense days of discussing many parts of photography, philosophy and life.


we were able to squeeze in a photo shoot between all of our deep conversation and topics.
the images below are some that Juanita and i took.
thank you to our great friends and the wonderful lovable couple Kirby and Chantel for modeling and showcasing your love for each other.


the timing of meeting and working with Jesh again just seemed like such a gift that was timed right.
there was so much that i took from those two days and i know it will not only help the photography we do, it will benefit me in life and my day to day living.

there are artists that you respect and then there are artists that you respect, admire and can connect with. thank you Jesh for your time and talent.

Kipp and i just returned from Arizona – a little get away together before this ‘little life’ will join our family. in getting away – i realized once again how important that is for a person and a marriage.
we had such an incredible time just the two of us and now on Saturday, we celebrate our 2 years of marriage together.
i am so incredibly blessed with a great man and our wonderful friendship.
i believe one of life’s rarest finds.
if you know this same thing with your spouse - be sure to never take it for granted.
tell then you love ‘em today!


last but not least – the people who keep this business aflame.
thank you to all the clients and upcoming wedding parties, families, kids and soul mates that we will capture this summer. we are ready to pour our hearts out in so many fun and creative ways.


thank you to all you Blog readers, over the last 6 months we have had over 20 000 blog visitors from all over the world.
thank you for all the encouraging comments you have left and touching emails so many of you have sent.

i sometimes wonder about this…... i have always wanted to give more than i receive, but some how i feel that i receive more than i could ever give.

thank you all and many blessings.

Kirby and Chantel

thank you to Kirby and Chantel for your time and the fun we had.
a big thank you to Jesh for your influence.
