favourite things friday

this was a favourite today:

sunset balloon

i've been blowing up balloons all week...

looking forward to sharing more images from the past few days soon.

what did you do during spring break? 

a first...

what a privilege to capture a child's first:

first smile, first step, first day of school...

today i spent the day with my girls and cousin aubree.

it was a beautiful day for the park, a good long walk and a special treat.

today - aubree enjoyed her first frosty.

she was hesitant at first...

she actually pushed it away.

but after a few minutes of watching the rest of us enjoy ours so much, 

she couldn't resist digging in!

and i think it's safe to say, that she is now a frosty fan too!

do you prefer chocolate or vanilla?

jonathan david

i had the pleasure of meeting jonathan david last week.

what a sweet little boy,

with an amazing mom, dad and big sister!

i'm told he's a great sleeper during the day 

but apparently he was enjoying the camera too much to rest!

it wasn't until the very end of our time together that he truly surrendered...

how could you not on a soft blanket like this one:

 such a fun and loving little family:  klass, leah, kathryn and jonathan

i loved walking into this home and instantly being inspired 

by their treasures to create one-of-a-kind images.

thanks again for inviting me to spend the morning with guys,

i loved every minute of it!

the zoo

a couple weeks ago we went to the zoo.

who doesn't love the zoo?

it's an amazing place, and a privilege to be able to visit one - for sure.

we had a great time!

yes, we saw lots of animals.

yes, i took lots of photos of the animals we saw.

but, it's not those photos that i'm going to look back on 

and cherish when i remember our day at the zoo.  

it's the ones of my girls enjoying the experience and our family time together...

what do activities do you love to do as a family?

dreams

selah read a book a month or two ago

about a girl who trained her husky puppy for a whole year 

to pull a dog sled.

as a result of this story and a littlest petshop husky,

selah decided that it was her dream to ride a dogsled some day.

i told her it was a great dream and i hoped that someday 

it would come true for her...

a couple weeks ago i heard that there was going to be 

an 'ice dog festival' in town.

once i looked it up online to see what it was all about, 

i knew we had to go!

 so amazing to see the joy on selah's face

as her little dream came true!

keep dreaming friends...
