Sasquatch Park Hicks Lake Camping Engagement Session Plaid Fishing Child Forest Fun Candid Documentary-116.JPG

When Leanne asked me if I wanted to come meet them at Hick's Lake in Sasquatch Provincial Park for their documentary engagement session, it took me 3.2 seconds to say yes. Apparently Doug has been coming to this lake for years and now that he and Leanne have a family of their own - they are continuing that tradition! I met them at their forest campsite along the edge of the lake and even though the cold wind was blowing, we were in for a good time.

Fall Fraser River Lodge Rustic Wedding - Purple, Plaid, Wood, Red (113 of 225).JPG

Mack and Keely were wedded on a overcast day in the middle of October at the incredible award winning venue that is the Fraser River Lodge, in Agassiz British Columbia. Although the day was grey, the vibrant personalities of Mack and Keely made sure that laughter rolled out of every room in the lodge all day long. One of the perks of getting married at the lodge means you can take advantage of their in-house suites and rooms.

Oh christmas tree, oh christmas tree... that song has been ringing in my ears ever since this session! The day was dreary in true West Coast winter weather, but that didn't dampen the spirits of this family of 7 while the set out on their annual christmas tree hunt at the Oh Christmas Tree Farm in Langley, BC.

Do you remember the first week after you welcomed a new one home? I sure don't. It's a weird mixture of extreme exhaustion, emotion, pain and incredible wonder. It's like it becomes a hazy blur so quickly as you try to adjust to what it actually means to have a new person in your home. A person with their own opinions, desires, likes and dislikes and voice. I think even with the second, third or sixth child this first week is never truly a clear memory.

When so many people come together and bring beautiful things - this is what happens. I had the pleasure of organizing a styled bridal session with a number of vendors local to the Fraser Valley. Hair and Makeup was done at my place, and then we head up to Jones Lake just east of Chilliwack, BC. The weather was perfect and just a touch of snow on the mountains made this the perfect backdrop to a deliciously beautiful session!
