This past weekend has been a weekend of embarrassing moments let me tell you! Pretty much just throw me a rock and I'll hide under it forever and all eternity! You know that feeling where you're about 11 years old and just as you're about to walk into the door at your new school you realize you forgot to put on clothes? Yea, that was just a dream but you can't seem to shake that dreaded feeling of complete mortification! Welcome to my weekend!

It started with me super duper excited to celebrate one of my closest friend's bridal shower, but this is the embarrassing part ... I showed up an hour late! Yup, one whole hour! And the icing on the cake, I'm in the bridal party, you know wearing a pretty dress holding flowers! Great way to show your friend that you love her, show up an hour late to her party! Yup, hugely embarrassed. Let's just say I'm willing to pick gum off the bottom of the pews in her wedding venue if she asked me to do it to make it up to her.

Then on Sunday while dealing with with Saturday's failings, I tried setting up an auto-response for my email thinking I'd be all high tech, but in the process I ended up spamming everyone whoI've ever had correspondence with. Oh, and not just once, every single email they ever wrote to me! I can only imagine some people's inbox filled to the brim with my greeting to them.

Let's just say I wanted to crawl under a rock this past weekend to hide my blushing face from embarrassment! I'm so sorry if you were a recipient of my unintentional spamming, and I better get my nails in tip top shape just in case I'm asked to pick gum!

I love my Mister, a lot! I love that when we're watching TV together (which doesn't happen very often) he'll pick up my feet put them in his lap and start to massage them for me. I love, that after being away from him, he arrives at the airport to pick me up with a beautiful rose - I'm not a huge flower person but this meant the world to me. I love that every morning he wakes up before me, cleans the rest of the dishes in the sink and makes me my morning latte then quietly comes into the room whispers my name and says "coffee is ready".

Mister, is the one who calms my fears, creates a place for my ideas and dreams to thrive, and who I love going on walks with no matter the weather. And to celebrate our love together, for being married a whole year, we decided to do a photo shoot of our own!

My mom's friend told me that every year since she's been married that she puts on her dress every anniversary, and I thought "I'm going to do that!". So, year one..complete with photos to prove it! Also, for our guest sign in at our wedding we didn't do a traditional book, photobook, or even a matte photo - we used something we love, wine. We got 6 bottles, that we will age and then open them at different times throughout our marriage. Year one, complete while enjoying some awesome cheese and photos!

Thank you to my amazing photo BFF, Cathy Empey, for the wonderful photos, we love them!

It's not very often I get to hang out with a family and take their photos and after months of trying to meet up and Gavin and his parents we finally got the chance to hang out again. I love this family, so laid back and carefree and so loving with one another!

We met at Rocky Point Park again and made our way towards The Old Mill Site, I love this area. You can only reach it when the tide is low but the Old Mill is now all decayed and quite destroyed that it's a great place to go exploring in. Gavin could hardly walk a foot without turning over the brick path looking for treasure and sea animals, crabs mostly. And I love the photos at the end, because they are all having such a fun time looking for crabs and just hanging out!

Meet little man Gavin and his awesome and loving parents:

When you think of the word film, what do you think of? Something that you see in the theaters, something you describe when you use your HD Flip, or something you put in an old style camera and hope it turns out well? For me, I'm usually talking about filming something for a video and in today's case that was exactly what I was doing....but for the purpose showing off that thing that you put in an old style camera!

Today, we put together a little spoof of a video for the 12x12 Vancouver Photo Marathon that is coming up on September 12th and they asked me to run the show. Man, talk about pressure! But I think the overall video is going to be hilarious and I wanted to show you a few sneak peeks from today! I loved Morten's outfit!

If you're looking for something to do come September for the day, seriously check it out! We're hosting the event on September 12th and the tickets are sure to sell out FAST!

This year August for me has been this dark looming cloud up ahead that I didn't want to acknowledge, but yet, I knew eventually I would have to face my first day with it and I shied away. I was scared of August, well, because it's going to be a lonely time for me.
August is usually full of camping trips, some windsurfing, and a wedding thrown in there to party it up a bit. But this year I knew I wasn't getting any of it cause we have no weddings in August and Mister is so busy that I knew there would be no camping or windsurfing either.
