Christmas!

28 Dec 2008

Enjoy a few photos of my Christmas with my family..what a blessing it was!

It was made even richer by having Lauren’s aunt and uncle visit us for Christmas from Kelowna, BC, Canada!

Next post - the Jesh De Rox workshop recap!

P.S. I have something HUGE in the works and it’s going to change the direction of my photography business forever. I really am so excited for this venture and how it’s going to benefit ALL my clients beyond belief.

  • The pavillion really is a beautiful setting for a wedding!
  • Scott was clearly so in awe of Amber the whole day.
  • This ring was worn by her grandmothers flowergirl I believe, and asked for it to be worn by amber on the wedding day.
  • Such a great fun bridal party shot.
  • Sweet moment
