ENGAGEMENT PICTURES... LAMBS/MELCHINS

I was so happy to be able to take Alyssa and Brant's engagement pictures last December when they were in town for Alyssa's brother's wedding. They were a wonderful couple to work with, fun, happy and definitely in love which made it easy. I use Aperture to process my pictures and  Photoshop CS3 to work with them.  I've also included several shots that have CoffeeShop BW Actions on them.

Alyssa is the daughter of some of our best friends and she has grown up with my children! I remember her as a baby, a toddler and then as a young woman and now she will be getting married this month. Time goes so fast! This is why I love to take pictures...they freeze time for a few minutes so we can remember the happy times, the loving times and the times we do not want to forget. They capture who we are at this brief moment!  

Here are a beautiful couple in love and starry eyed...my favourite pictures to take!

I AM GOING TO HEAL SAYS MITCHELL

I found this template challenge at Designer's Digitals and knew I wanted to use it for this story. Don and Mitchell were wrestling one day and when Mitchell said this, we all laughed. The other funny part of this picture is that Everett was on the floor crying because he was scared of the fighting! I'm pretty sure he will be joining them soon.

Thought I would show you one of the pictures I started with:

 The black and white pictures were done using Coffee Shop's Coconut BW action, one of my favourites. 

I had fun with this page, but have to admit the angling was really challenging and probably makes the journaling harder to read, but I still love how it turned out! I also wanted to give this a cartoon feel, thus the word bubbles from eNKay Designs, Comic Kit found at the DigiChick.  This page makes me happy and I'm grateful to be able to document these memories. I'm thankful that Don has one son that he can wrestle with, play soccer with, eat pizza with and love!! These days are going so fast, he's almost as tall as his Dad....

ENGAGEMENT PICTURES.... MIKE AND EMMA

I was so happy to be able to take some engagement pictures of Mikael Lamb and his fiancee Emma Dudley! They were only in town for the weekend from Calgary so we had to scramble to find some time! Mike's family are close friends of ours so we were excited to hear that he had found this beautiful girl. There was a lot of laughing during this session as you can see...these two sure enjoy being together!

I had fun with these pictures, some have PW actions, and others have Coffee Shop actions on them. I loved the effect of the black and white, sepia and some other filters. Just hoping they like them!!!

WEDDING INVITATIONS

CHAMPIONS

Vanessa's cousin through marriage Kristen Pierson asked me to do her wedding invitations and so I've been working on them this week. Had lots of fun but I changed her template and added some embellishments, just waiting to hear which one she wants to use. I also changed the picture colours and made them all black and white using The Coffee Shop actions...these are "toasted coconut!"

Need to get to my Blending Class but just finished Seminary for the week so hoping I have a little more time! I was happy to use Jonathan Edis flourishes again and I discovered the sweetest Glowspots by Katie Pertiet that I added to these invites!

Let me know which ones you prefer.... I'll post which one she picks!
