Trick or Treat!

Oh my gooooodness I love Halloween!! I love photographing my girls on their adventure! I do it every single year! And this year was so cute since they were both old enough to understand. Adelaide was a pro actually. Watch the adventure of Red Parrot and The Crocodile Who Didn't Like Water as they run around the neighbourhood screaming "trick or treat" followed by a polite "thank you"!

Adorbs!    

I really appreciate all the houses and neighbours who get involved and decorate and dress up! It makes the kids so happy!! And sometimes hilariously terrified. Little kids wearing layers of clothes waddling around collecting candy and having so much fun is probably one of the cutest things I have ever seen and it's my favourite night to photograph my girls!! I also love that they aren't old enough yet to count the candy, ha! 

It's incredible how much they grow in a year!!

The Birth of Baby Yas!

There really is nothing more amazing then being present for the birth of a baby! This little baby was so special because she was this couples first baby, along with the first grandchild on both sides of the family too. Dad had never held a baby before he held his own and when you see that moment in the video, it's incredible. And all you mothers out there will feel the same joy as this Mum felt when baby latched! A GREAT latch too!

I loved how family oriented this birth was. It's too bad some hospitals have a protocol that only allows 2 people in the room, but they embraced it and made the most of it. This family was spread out all over the globe, so they were face timing and texting! I just love the role technology played in this experience to keep the family and friends connected. So much love. What a lucky little baby! 

Watch this video, but be sure to grab some tissue. If you are feeling broody...beware!

Elf on the Shelf.

This is such a magical interactive advent calendar. My whole family is having so much fun with this. I have made a real effort to stay away from Pinterest and other places that have Elf on the Shelf ideas. I am trying to come up with my own and it's starting prove a little difficult. But, only a week left! If you want to see more, you'll have to follow along on Instagram because we are about to board a plane with Olivia of course and head to Winnipeg for Christmas.

Have a great holiday season everyone!

Love to you all!
