:: Project 52 :: 3 - Thumb sucking~

This is my boy. Tyson. He's just turned 5! I can't even believe it! Then i see him sucking his thumb and i remember hes still my baby. ;) He started this habit right from the get go! There was no stopping him. We tried everything. Thumb out, sucky in, thumb out sucky in... Then we tried Putting a sock on his hand, he learned to suck right through that sock.... We finally gave up!

But NOW WHAT! hahaha. He's gotta stop this by kindergarten... right??? I mean the poor kid is going to get teased! Got any good ideas??

Its so hard because I look at him, and I love him more than life it self and see his innocence, as soon as he takes that thumb outta his mouth..... All kinds of crazy things fly out... Girlie screams, whinny humbles, goofy giggles, sometimes I even get a kiss on the cheek ;)

Anyways I love this kid. He's my little man.
Enjoy

Kara & Ian :: Expecting - God's Mountain Estate

Today I had the privilege of shooting this amazing couple and soon to be Mommy & Daddy at God's Mountain Estate. This location is breath taking. Quite simply a gem in the South Okanagan. I met Sarah, the owner, this past week and was so delighted by her kind and generous spirit! Thank you so much for having us today. I really look forward to coming back soon, hopefully in the spring for sure! (If you know any couples looking for a gorgeous intamite wedding location...look no further!) My husband and I are planning to say at the bed in breakfast for a weekend getaway this summer! (they have a ROOFLESS room!! how romantic!)

Ian & Kara were so laid back and excited to whatever popped into my head! My favorite types of clients! ;) Thank you both for having fun with me today I hope you enjoy your teasers. I look forward to meeting that new baby very soon!!!

:: Project 52 :: 1 - Lego!

My oldest son Tyson just had his 5th birthday ( 9 days after Christmas!!) He now has a TON of Lego! His new favorite toy!
Truthfully I was a bit worried... All these little pieces, he has a little brother (21 months old) and I really wasn't' sure how that would all go over! But honestly, I've loved every minute! Lucas loves watching him and Tyson has done a great job sharing his now to "special sets" And me, I especially like building all the sets! His little fingers aren't quite coordinated enough to build them himself yet so I get the pleasure of being a kid again! BRING ON THE LEGO!

This is Tyson's newest and most favorite set. Its a Camper. The back swings open and allows space for eating and sleeping! As I type this he is playing on the floor, putting the "Hunny" (wife) to sleep in her bed! "Off we go", he shouts, as the Husband zooms them across the kitchen floor!
