I believe that the sweetest feeling of success comes after a long battle of hard work, hoping, dreaming and wishing. That is the feeling my brother and his family feel today. They have worked long hard hours, put their wishes and dreams into the universe and believed. After all the hard work, it has paid off. Today we are celebrating their new home. Their first new home. It is theirs, all theirs. What a feeling it has to be for them, their hearts must be exploding with excitement and gratefulness.
This sweet family means so much to me, not just because they are my family. My brother is one of my best friends, his wife being another. Those two girls are the world to me. I mean the whole wide world. Madison & Meleah, I am sure I wouldn't be able to love my own children more than I love you two girls. We have lots of stories and memories already, and I am sure the new house will have no exception for more, and I look forward to it! I am extremely happy for them all, to be able to say "we are going home"... and that home is their own.
I am excited to share in the fun today. In fact, I came home a day early from Toronto to be a part of it. I wouldn't miss it!
So Congratulations Adam, Kelly, Madison & Meleah (and of course Jackson 'ole boy & Tucker Wucker Woo Woo). I am glad that your dreams have come true. Leave some Congratulatory love in the comments!

I cannot believe how fast this summer went by. It is over. No we don't have to wait for the official beginning of Fall on September 22. It went away last week after Old Home Week Ended. Yes, that is the way it works on PEI. As soon as, literally the Old Home Week celebrations are finished, the Monday following it is cold. One Saturday is 38 degrees, the following is 11 degrees, this was proven the past weekend. The weather goes from one extreme to the next around here.
Anyways, it is odd how the weather controls our moods and eating and everything. I noticed that this past weekend it seemed suppers were being made indoors, Chinese restaurant was busy, movies were being watched. Are we all going into winter mode already?
I was so busy this past summer that I had no time for much socializing. It was so exciting and such a rush to have so much creatively going on! Let's keep it going!! Let's not let the weather control us!!!

Oh how I love a rainy Monday! Gotta Love it! It gives me the extra time to wind down from the weekend, and yet go right into edit mode without feeling guilty that I should be out enjoying our short summer. I just took a quick look through Saturdays 38 degrees of hotness wedding! Here is one pic and there will be more to follow soon!

Today is my BFF's birthday. My sister, My friend. I cannot imagine my world without her. Kimmy has been my "hip" for as long as I can remember. She is such an amazing person, inside and out. She has a beautiful loyal, trustworthy giving soul, with which she shares with everyone around her.
My BFF is my personal Buddha. Her voice is the most gentle voice you can imagine, and she can ground me instantly with it, whether it be to sooth heart ache or to talk me out of buying purse number #4 inside a high end store.
I am extremely lucky that I have been blessed to have been granted such an amazing person in my life, and to have someone who accepts me just as I am. How did I get so lucky to have spent the entire weekend with her on a working vacation in Boston and have her have the same business/personal interests as me?
How have I been blessed to have such amazing friends and family?

This past week has been a bit of a whirlwind. I have been to Montreal, and then back to PEI, and then drove 12 hours to Boston for the weekend. I met with some amazing couples, some new friends that are now clients. I am a little bit hazy, but am in the process of returning emails, getting ready for this weeks shoots & editing. For now, here is just one shot I took in Montreal. I came around the corner and spotted this lady sitting on the steps, taking a break. Of course I had to run back around the corner to change lens and got this shot without her noticing. Montreal is such an inspiring amazing city.
polish girl:
I really like her shoes and polish. Great photo!

Kim Roach:
Wish I could have been there in Montreal, but Boston was a great time... This is a wicked cool shot! :)

Maggie :
