Kate + Matt are getting married

When they make each other smile, I can see why they are perfect together. Like how peanut butter is perfect with jelly.

They met, they fell in love, and I get to capture their day of love next summer.

I am so excited to finally show you some shots of this engagement session I did a few weeks ago! Hanging out with Kate + Matt early on a beautiful fall morning was just the thing I needed to get me outside.

I love any photo with confetti, but I didn’t account for wind that day, and when Kate and Matt threw the confetti up in the air, the wind swept it up to the sky! It was funny, and I love the laughter in that photo.

Thank you Kate and Matt, for frolicking with me in the park and for being so enthusiastic about wearing a thin dress on a chilly morning! I love that you are so into the photo process!

Iron

I was hanging out with Jen and Rosalyn a little while ago, and for some reason, we were talking about how we all needed more Iron in our diet. When I stumbled on a recipe for beet muffins, it reminded me of that conversation. Among many of the good things beets contain, one of them is Iron!

I don't know why I love beets so much. I love its colour, and I love it's sweet flavour in salads, or just roasted on its own. But I never had it in baking before!

These are chocolate beet muffins, and to be honest, I don't really taste any beet flavour. To me, it just added a beautiful deep tinge of red to the muffin, and hopefully I am getting some iron in me too!

preparation

Having a one person party, getting ready for a shoot, and making a mess.

Wish me luck. I'll let you know how it goes.

(have a great weekend, friends!)

walking through a cloud

Last Friday, a cloud came down from the sky to visit us.
It was the foggiest I had ever seen.
Jinny and I had a lot of fun riding our bikes through it.
It looked like a scene from a fairytale.

how I see it

Through my glasses, and through my lens,

this is what I see.

(And it's pretty great)

purr purr purr

soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur,
lazy kitty, pretty kitty, purr purr purr

I have the best friends. Look what I found in the mail this week? The cutest illustration of Mea & Mojo from Jen Hsieh. That was the adorable rhyme written on the back.

I squealed out loud when I opened it! Thank you Jen! I can't wait to frame it!

sunrise to sunset

Lately, I have been enjoying bike rides and the autumn sun.

These days, the sun rises a little later, and sets a little sooner. That means that I get to ride into the sun both ways on my daily commute. I love the sun at this time of year. It makes everything golden.
