I’ve had such a great time with my Modern Mini’s this year.I adore children. They are hilarious, interesting and friendly. As much as I love capturing their real smiles, I also truly love when I can capture a soulful look. There’s just something about her gaze.

It’s my lovely friend @koehndesign birthday today. Anyone who meets Amy realizes she is something special. When I think of her I think of the word nucleus. People are drawn to her and her infectious beautiful energy. Thankful she is in my life, and I hope today she feels so remembered and celebrated. ♥️😘

Oh Lewis and your ability to fall asleep anywhere and in 10 seconds. I love him so. Today he told me he would love me for a thousand years and It melted me completely. In other news, have you heard of @dignifysj I love companies that not only sell beautiful things but make a difference in our world. The woman who make these blankets were previously living on the street or in vulnerable situations. These ethical quilts would make a great gift, and one that you can feel deeply satisfied giving. Sounds like a sales pitch, but I only pitch things I believe in...

These two are so cute together, they really do love each other. Lewis has to give Cosette giant hugs before she goes to school each day. He always has something important to tell her when she returns home. Cosette is always looking out for Lewis. If he is hurt or sad, she wants to cheer him up. If she sees something at the store that she thinks he’d like she wants to buy it for him, with her own money. They still fight like all siblings do, but I choose to see their bond over their drama. #lewisandcoz #iphone

Did I mention we booked our flights to South Africa? I couldn’t be more excited. It’s what keeps me going right now. The kids have changed so much since our last visit, can’t wait for the family to see them now. Also I am not sure they are prepared for how much Cosette can chat. This photo is from two trips ago. Lewis turned 1 on that trip and was so close to walking. I loved how on that trip he altered his crawl. Since this was the attire he mostly sported he didn’t like crawling with his knees on the ground. He moved with his bum high in the air and he would moving very quickly with his knees off the ground. I love that kid, and Sa.

Grandparents are the best! My mom was here earlier in the week and it was just so so nice to have some extra help while I tried to demolish my to do list. Cheers to all the grandmas (and grandpas) out there. #upandawaystudios

Newborn smiles? If they don’t warm your heart I just don’t trust you. #upandawaystudios

A few slots left if anyone’s interested. Also if you are like me and never on top of your Christmas gifts... there’s still time to get these printed to give as gifts. Message me for info. #upandawaystudios

These two looked like movie stars on their cold wedding day. Their warmth towards each other and all their guests was something truly beautiful. I attend a lot of weddings, but I will say that their ceremony was memorable, as every word spoken was powerful, deep and full of meaning. I finished up their gallery this morning and can’t wait to hand everything over to them.

More shoots in Vancouver please. I am in love with this city. Everywhere I look I see spots that would make for amazing photos. It’s a delight to be inspired by different surroundings. #upandawaystudios
