take it outside

Instead of eating in restaurants, we have been seeking every opportunity to get food for take away and enjoying it in the park.

We did this yesterday for the first day of August, the last month of summer.

I can't believe it is August already guys.

(burger's from Burger's Priest. We have been obsessed with this place this summer!)

Lydia & Sam are engaged

I have always been intrigued with the path people take to get to one another. I love hearing stories of how lovers made it to the point in their lives where their paths cross and how long time friends came to be.

As I work with my couples, the question of how they heard about me will always come up. Lydia found me through Nikole’s Sneak Peak feature I photographed for Design Sponge! The powers of the internet and its ability to bring people together never cease to amaze me!

I love the energy and enthusiasm Lydia & Sam have had about planning their wedding from the beginning. These two are always all smiles! I am super excited for their wedding coming up in a few weeks!

Kinfolk

The cats gathered around as I opened this lovely package I received from Nathan in the mail. I think they sensed how excited I was to take a peak at the first issue of Kinfolk Magazine.

Nathan compiled an amazing group of people for the first issue; I have read all the articles, poured over every image and I am so inspired by each piece. Congratulations to everyone involved!

I was lucky to be part of the first issue in a small way. My photo of a house from our travels is placed at the end for farewell. I quite love it in that spot.

I spent the evening reading through the magazine with the cats sitting close by. I mentioned before that I never really had success getting Mea and Mojo in the same photograph together but for one reason or another, they both decided to sit with me that day. I loved that I was spending time with my cats while reading about time spent with yourself, or with loved ones.

before the sun sleeps

It is so hot these days that we take cover inside and come out just before the sun is about to set. This is our favourite time of day to go for walks.

I think it is the neighbourhood cats favourite time too.

Have you seen the first issue of Kinfolk Magazine? So much beauty and so many people I admire in one book. It has really made me realize that I need to carve out some moments to spend quality time with the ones I love, especially in these busy times.

Like going on these evening walks with Jinny more often.
