Andrea and Stephanie - Best Friends Forever!

We had a real treat shooting a very special Best Friends Forever shoot with Andrea and Stephanie.

All I can really say is, these two are just ADORABLE together! They really bring out the smiles and laughter in each other so it's easy to see how they're BFF!

And where else other than Whyte Ave for a bit of fun?



Hello? Umm yeah, we're hot. Bye! =)



They got some classic Stewart's sodas to enjoy.







Some high fashion style!



Hahaha, they decided to pose in the window of Army and Navy like mannequins.



Flippin' hair!



Then we went over to Saskatchewan Drive for a bit







These two sure generated a lot of whistling, car honking, and people saying, "Look! Models!"

It was really a blast shooting you guys. The laughter you guys share really is inspiring. Everbody needs great friends!

There are many more super cute photos to see:

A beautiful wedding with Melania and Kent!

I knew Melania and Kent's wedding was going to be awesome. Ukrainian weddings really suit me well. Good times, great people, great food... everything I like! =)

Their wedding was no exception!

Melania and the girls started out at Eveline Charles for hair and makeup.



We then met up with the guys where they took Kent down while playing football... hahah. Oh the tough life of the groomsmen! hahaha



Headed down to one of the many river valley ravines with the bridal party



I love this place!



The creek was actually still enough to get a decent reflection!





They look so great together!



Everyone was awesome! They were all willing to walk through ANY kind of terrain!



We then zipped over to Whyte Ave





The sun was really out. It was a gorgeous day!



And I LOVED their limo! Classic!



Melania looked so excited waiting for the ceremony to start.



Haha, I thought this was so cute.



St. Basil's is always a beautiful place to shoot.



Traditions



I always find the Korovai to be an amazing work of art!



This cake topper cracks me up



Speeches. A picture is worth a thousand words. LOL!



And an amazing dance performance. I LOVE this dance group!





First Dance



And then we got out for some NIGHT SHOTS! I LOVE night shots!



Thank you, Melania and Kent, for letting us be a part of your amazing day!

To adopt or not to adopt?

What do you think?

She's absolutely adorable... we're really taken by this little kitten:



So yay or nay?

So we have snow. Is that such a bad thing? No way!!!

So it's been snowing here in Edmonton. Wow. Snowing in early October. Edmonton has cold winters but it usually doesn't start this early.

Now, I'm constantly hearing people complaining about it and hating it. But why? I was so happy to see the snow coming down. It was absolutely beautiful. My friend was also thrilled to see the snow so we decided to take a walk while it was dusting the landscape white.

I'm really glad I did take a walk; it was a real treat and SUCH a unique experience. For some reason, many trees still have green leaves (which is not normal for Edmonton this time of year), and some have changed to their fall colours. And at the same time, we have snow. It's like seeing THREE seasons all at the same time. What a great opportunity it was. I felt so lucky! And double lucky that Edmonton has some of the finest inner city parkland around. And triple lucky that I live right by it! =)

Being the photo nerd I am, of course I took my little 40D and Sigma 30mm 1.4 (One of my favourite combos) and snapped some shots.

Green leaves and snow.






Fall setting in



These leaves seem to be stuck in between summer and fall, with winter white invading the scene.



Some grasses looked like this...



And only 10 ft away, some grass looked like this...



LOVE the colours!







Some more three seasons shots.







What can I say, we live in Edmonton. The only way to survive is to adopt the winter cold as your friend. There is almost nothing more serene than having a warm drink and sitting by a window looking as it snows outside.

Chickens and Relatives

So my uncle and aunt came to visit Canada, all the way from Korea. It's their first time here. They were staying with my parents so we went down to Calgary to see them. We figured they would want a couple photos so we took some.


My dad (on the right) and his brother. They've been through a lot together.



Hahaha, and this picture just makes me laugh every time I look at it. Here is my aunt and uncle, with my mom's chickens getting in the way. LOL I love the combination of the serious Korean photo faces, and the carefree happy chickens. Chickens are such funny creatures.






Just thought some of you might get a kick out of the second photo as much as I did.
