What A Wonderful World...

The people in your neighborhood...

Last fall I was asked by my friend from Everyday Heroes, Tricia Klassen to update their family photos.  Of course, I was incredibly excited to capture her beautiful family before the fall disappeared and winter started to peek around the corner.

If you don't already know Tricia, she is an amazing Pharmacist at the The Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy in Yorkton, SK.

Tricia and her husband Brad with their two sweet children were so much fun to photograph!  Can you believe they were so sweet with each other the entire session!

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.
Picture
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,
​Melissa

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 hope that all of you are enjoying a little time to rejuvenate over the summer.  It has been quite an interesting 16 months... one that no one really could have predicted. I wish all of your family and friends health and peace as we slowly move back to the way things used to be.  I am very excited to say that I just got my second dose of my COVID-19 vaccine and I'm looking forward to times when we can gather without restrictions.

Forever and always,
Melissa

Why I need to remember to book our own family photos...

Our dear friend, Tonia Flaman, took our wedding photos for us.

​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. ​
