A Cut Above the Rest

 My earliest memories of my Aunty Sandy were of her gardening outside her home. She has always been a dedicated gardener and it really shows.

It is amazing the gardens she has created surrounding her home...growing with each season.
A green thumb I do not have. A pair of scissors I do have... along with a vase or two and a creative itch that needed to be tended to.

I love the cabbage lookin thing. No idea what it is called or how to grow it. I just know it is purdy!















































She Said Yes!


...of course she said Yes!

Brock wouldn't have hired a photographer to capture the moments leading up to the surprise marriage proposal to his now fiance Lindsey, if he didnt think she would say yes.

Brock had the details all worked out including a surprise party with all of their closest friends following a romantic dinner at La Masia Restaurant in Surrey, BC where he would be popping the question.

He made sure she looked and felt beautiful for the big moment.  He took her shopping for a new dress, surprised her at dinner with a bouquet of red roses and...

...little did she know what was inside his pocket (bling bling!) and hiding behind a glass case (me!).

Even though Brock was quite nervous - Lindsey was still very surprised. The proposal was beautiful. All of his hard work and planning had payed off. I even found myself getting teary eyed.

As well we spent a few minutes before I left taking some posed shots on the balcony. They were so happy. She was still very shocked. It was great!

It was still a very private moment even though it was in a public place and subtly documented by me and now it will be a breeze for Brock and Lindsey to relive the proposal and maybe share it with their grandchildren one day.

I felt honoured to be a part of something so important to their lives.

Congratulations to you both!

Memorable Moments
















My father who is a very busy man took a little time (not sure if he knew he had a choice) to spend a little time with his daughter and granddaughter one morning.

It wasn't an extraordinary event but it was a memorable moment. Time is such a great gift!



Tea Party

My daughter and I love walking through downtown Chilliwack - especially down the historical Main Street. Walking home from preschool we decided to pop inside Appledoorn Fine Baking for a tea party.

She loves to have tea parties at home so I thought I would take it one step further. She had a hot chocolate and I had an English Breakfast tea. She filled up my cup with milk and sugar and enjoyed using her straw and spoon thoroughly.

What an adorable place. Your tea comes in real tea cups and pots. No tea cup is the same! I highly recommend having a little spot of tea on Main street - especially in such good company!

She didn't break anything, so that was a plus too!
