whistler wedding show

the wishes wedding show this last weekend was so much fun... it was great to meet all the other vendors whom we so often just email or chat on the phone with... 

it ended up being such a social weekend!! 

i especially loved having my booth set up as a living room that ended up being filled with ladies reading magazines and chatting everything wedding!! so fun! 

thanks to everyone who came to visit!! 

a special thanks to marcie from bliss whom helped in the design in my booth... 

we won BEST BOOTH... and tickets to the whistler film festival!! 

(thanks also to daily planet home design in FUNCTION for lending me the vintage cameras... and to patina for my new rug!!)

**i was way too busy chatting to take photos... but here are just a few snapshots i managed to get in on the last day!! 

here is the final booth...

and a collage of some of the other vendors... 

i was drawn to all the flowers... apparently! LOL

figs... and friends... and photographers.

life is funny... 

funny and full... and unexpected. 

like michelle... michelle is unexpected. 

she is my best friends sister in law... i have spent maybe a total of 6 days with her in 7 years... 

and she is my friend. 

a friend through photography... chats about photoshop and design... 

we both have 7 year olds... and a love for things a little ecclectic. 

there are a few photographers i follow regularly... 

whom i check in to be inspired... to view great work... to see life from someone living similarly to myself and michelle is one of those photographers... 

every so often i will see an image that will stay with me... that i will think about while drinking coffee... while driving in the car... while trying to fall asleep... it may be the colors, the emotion... the texture... 

last summer michelle took one of those images: figs

we don't have figs in whistler... until this month... 

maybe we have winter figs?? caleb asked me what they were and so we bought a few... 

feeling the need to be creative in all this rain...  caleb (my trusty 5 year old assistant) and I took our hand in photographing them... and so here is my take on our winter fig... entirely inspired by michelle and her gorgeous summer figs. 

and my assistant!! 

 

halloween and fall.... and us!!

just some recents!!
