Happy Canada Day!!!

Happy Canada Day!!!

This is the first Canada Day I've not spent inside of Canada....it made me a little homesick for sure! But luckily I knew it was coming up, and knew I had to capture my patriotism, and luckily Luke is a major Canada fan and had a huge Canada flag just sitting around....so we brought it with us to Missouri! For the specific reason of having a photo-op with it! So if I can just paint the scene for you.....me, with my huge Canada flag, in Missouri, on the lawn of the hotel, with my camera balanced on a picnic table, and me dancing around taking shots with my remote, trying to get a decent one! It was good times :)

Taking the long way home....

Luke and I are heading back to Colorado - we will miss Victoria so much! We're going to be in Colorado for a day and then head out to Missouri for my best friend Sacha's wedding. It should be lots of fun, and definitely lots of driving!! We're going to be exhausted by the end of the month, that's for sure!

Alina's Senior Photos

Alina and I went on a photo shoot around downtown Victoria and shot some senior photos for her! It was a whole lot of fun! We found a couple of neat alleys and headed to Chinatown and Beacon Hill Park - it was great! Enjoy some of my favourites....

These are just a few shots from around my parent's house....I miss the place so bad sometimes!

My Grandma...

I rarely get to take photos of my Grandma, but when she came with us to Alina's grad, I took the opportunity to take a few shots of her. Every time I look at the top one, I hear her laugh :)
