I know this is not one of my regular posts, but it has been such a change to how successfully I can garden (which makes me very happy).  Just in case you are looking for a new way to garden, I thought I would share what was working for me. 

If you have any green thumb tips... please share them below!  I'd love to hear how I can become even more efficient!

Forever & Always,

I am an only child - so I marvel at siblings and the connection they have.  Their relationship and the moments they share are so unique and precious.  Tricia & Brad's children are almost the same age as my two boys and I love how they were willing to chat and connect during our time together.

Tricia and Brad are just so sweet together.  I loved having a chance to capture them as they interacted.  It is easy to see how much they love each other and how their children reflect this love.

Please take a moment to check out The Medicine Shoppe Yorkton and learn more about this amazing local Pharmacist!  (As a side note...I scheduled my second COVID-19 Vaccination dose with Tricia at Medicine Shoppe.  Appointments were timely - the area was incredibly clean and consistently sanitized - and I was out of there in no time!)  Vaccines are just one of the many ways that Tricia is helping people in her community!

A huge thank you to the Klassen family for choosing me as their photographer! 

Forever & Always,

P.S. This beautiful backdrop is right in Yorkton, Saskatchewan!  We didn't even have to leave town to find this gorgeous location!  I had no idea it was even here!  I am so grateful Tricia and her family shared this hidden gem with me!

​I think sometimes the thing I do the least well is make sure that our family is booked for our own family photos. 
​When our kids were little - I did so good at making sure to book someone to capture us.  I think because I realized that I was so busy with the day to day of life and I was busy taking pictures with my phone of our kids (and all of the silly and crazy moments), I realized how important it was to make sure I had pictures of my family all together. ​
