I'm super happy to blog this engagement session!  Its my last one before a two week vacation to the Mayan Riviera, Mexico!!!  While I can't wait to get away to feel the warmth of the sun I was so excited to shoot these two.  I've know TJ for years - and had the pleasure of meeting Kari when they first moved up here in September.  I know you'll agree that Kari is absolutely stunning and they make a perfect pair.  Since we knew it was supposed to warm up this weekend I recommended tying on some skates and heading to a outdoor rink.  Since TJ had played hockey since he could walk - and Kari being originally from Alaska I thought it was a great idea!  Well the weather didn't warm up as much as expected - but we still got some great images - these two are naturals and I can't wait to shoot their wedding this summer in the beautiful Okangan.

XOXO

I love it when I get to shoot clients that I've never met before.  Although its a bit scary its also lots of fun!  When Victoria contacted me after finding my site online I new we were going to have a blast at her engagement session.  She's so full of energy and although her fiance Matt doesn't like getting his picture taken she managed to convince him to come along.  It was such a perfect day for winter images - not to cold and we just had an amazing frost set in on the trees making it look like a winter wonderland!

XOXO
