flowers in her lap…

Sometimes I really like to take photos just because they’re pretty.

That’s probably no surprise.

This is a little collection I began recently and have been posting over on my personal blog.

Combining the colours and the textures just really appeals to me.

Nothing more, nothing less.

But I do hope that maybe they brighten up your day.

I love taking photos of flowers too. These are beautiful. Lovely idea to have them on your lap.

Seth&Emily…{just love}

Believe it or not Seth and Emily aren’t newlyweds.

They’ve been married for seven years and have two totally gorgeous children!

This shoot was simply a celebration of their marriage so far and the wonderful love they share for one another.

We joked that perhaps dressing up in your wedding gear and having some photos taken is the new antidote for the ‘seven year itch’. ; )

As far as I can tell, these guys don’t need an antidote.

Their love is sincere, beautiful and happy.

Seth and Em, it was a total delight spending a kid free afternoon with you both and watching you accept wedding congratulations from passers by! Totally priceless.

I hope your married life continues to be a roaring success story.

the little things…

 

I’ll let you in on a little secret.

I have a terrible habit of impatience and am easily frustrated. It’s not unusual to find me yelling at inanimate objects or mumbling under my breath because I’m feeling annoyed.

It’s not something I’m proud of.

I also feel like some days, I simply don’t know where to start. So much to do. So little time.

At the beginning of this year I made a promise to myself, that I would take more moments to absorb all the wonderful little things that happen every day.

Sometimes I even close my eyes. Just for a moment. So I can fully soak them in.

And during those times when I’m feeling immensely irritated about whatever. I take a healthy dose of perspective.

Because let’s face it. I have a lot to be thankful for.

And I really don’t want to miss them. All those precious little things.

Like today, painting with Liv and listening to her hum.

Humming means she’s happy.

Which makes me happy too.

Love this! So true. XX

Erika&Marty…{almost married}

 

I have spent the month of May photographing some really wonderful couples and Erika and Marty are no exception!

Young love, Autumn leaves, sun showers, rainbows, moody clouds and a red beanie!

This session was just too gorgeous.

And celebrating love just never gets jaded for me.

It’s an honour. Every time.

Such beautiful light in these photos Lisa. I really love how the light has caught the rain, it’s are really pretty effect. And think the location is stunning too:)

Looks like such a beautiful spot for photos! Especially with that gorgeous afternoon light.

Chris&Laura…{almost married}

I met up with this adorable pair on an unseasonably warm Autumn day.

The sun was out in full and the leaves were all aglow.

And these two were just so wonderful!

Happy, affectionate and so much fun.

I excitedly snapped up their gorgeous love until the light dipped behind the hills and the sky turned hazy.

Laura and Chris, spending an afternoon with you both was a delight.

I can’t wait for your wedding next year!
