Heather & James

Heather & James got married May 1st. Its taken me a while to post these but I hope they were worth the wait. Jesse and I enjoyed spending the day with Heather & James and were so glad that the forecasted rain held off long enough for some beautiful outdoor photos. Here they are...

Family Fun Day

Yesterday Jesse had a flex day so we were able to spend some quality time together as a family. We had a great day doing some errands, hiking at Thetis Lake, visiting our friend Katrina at her cafe and building sand castles on the beach. It was such a blessing to spend a day like that with the family.

The Reimers

We had the wonderful privilege of having our good friends Leighton and Sara from Winnipeg visit us over the Easter week-end. They brought their son Jayden and daughter Karis. The weather was the worst its been in weeks including cold, rain, and winds so strong that it knocked our power out for almost 20 hours. But despite the weather these guys were troopers and we did everything from hiking to waterfalls to feeding seals. We had a great time. Here are some pictures:

The Brittons

These guys rock! When I went to Illinois to photograph Zach & Stephanie's wedding I agreed to do it mostly because it meant that I got to spend time with my sister Trisha, her husband Chris, and their kids Jada, and Jordan. They are a family that I admire! Their love for each other and their heart to serve God by serving His people always inspires me.

Zach & Stephanie

I recently travelled to Illinois to photograph a wedding and also visit my sister Trisha and her fantastic family. We (my son Isaac and I) had a great time on our much-too-short trip. Here are some pictures of Zach and Stephanie's wedding. Although the day was rainy and cold the wedding was beautiful. The couple was fun and relaxed and according to their pastor, family, and friends they are people I would have to get to know if I only lived a little closer.

Pictures of Trisha & Chris Britton to follow (when I get time to edit them)...

Thanks Tim for the contact and for the great idea for the ring picture!!

The Fullers...

We just took a trip to Portland (Jesse's hometown). It was bittersweet. The bitter part - we went to say good-bye to Jesse's mom who is moving to Minneapolis for a job. We're so proud of her but will miss having her close by. Our kids love her to bits and have enjoyed being able to see "Daddy Grandma" on a semi-regular basis. The sweet part - we got to spend some good time with family and friends including Rich and Mel and their beautiful new baby Liana. Rich also designed our logo by the way.
