Our Friend Collette B. is getting hitched.

Collette is a friend to many people around town and so it was a great honor to have been able to celebrate here in PG for  her upcoming wedding ( August in Vancouver). There were many people who wish her and Lucy her daughter so much happiness and many who were not there do as well I know. Paul is the lucky guy and Lucy has a lovely young man in her life too Luke who sang a few tunes so there was dancing at his insistence!  I do not cover weddings but I sure love "life events" like these to share with you . We will all be thinking of you Paul and Collette on the 16th August!! xxxx

Canada Day - Celebrating the best of ourselves and our Country

Families are important. That is it in a nut shell. How they come to be is not as important as that they do come to be. So this day when we celebrate 147 years of our country "becoming" a Family, made up of First Nations who welcomed those that traveled to shared this land we now call home.

We share this day with those we love and  I was delighted to have the opportunity to photograph this gathering of families today.There were a total of 14 people so these are a couple of my favorites I wanted to share with you.

Believe it or not, here is Grandma and her grandchildren - it doesn't get any better than that!!

The Family in the yard  just makes me feel good looking at it as the husband is so in love with his wife and she is radiant as she looks to their children. The children are responding to having just seen their parents kissing!!

What I love about an images like these is the "sounds" of them ,their voices and squeals are still  in my head as I look at them. My belief is that children should be Seen and Heard and this is true of both of these images.

 Happy Canada Day To all  of you . May you carry the memories of your gathering today throughout the years to come.
