ONCE UPON A LOVE STORY....

WHEN YOU HAVE THE CHANCE TO FREEZE TIME IN A FRAME, IT’S AN AMAZING FEELING. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU’RE FREEZING LOVE INSIDE THAT FRAME. 

THIS VALENTINE’S DAY/FAMILY DAY LONG WEEKEND, I TRAVELLED 4 HRS TO HEAD DOWN SOUTH TO OLDS, AB TO DO THE ENGAGEMENT SESSION FOR ONE OF MY CLOSEST FRIENDS, CIARA AND HER SOON TO BE HUBBY JUSTIN. WE SPENT THE AFTERNOON ON HER IN-LAWS PROPERTY TAKING PICTURES WITH ALL KINDS OF ANIMALS, BUT ESPECIALLY WITH THEIR HORSES. CIARA AND JUSTIN SHARE THIS LOVE FOR HORSES THAT A CATTLEWOMAN LIKE MYSELF JUST DOESN’T ALWAYS UNDERSTAND. ;) WHAT I DO UNDERSTAND THOUGH, IS THE LOVE THESE TWO SHARE FOR ONE ANOTHER. IT’S EASY TO SEE HOW PERFECT THEY ARE FOR EACH OTHER WHEN YOU GET TO SPEND THE AFTERNOON FOLLOWING THEM ACROSS THE FARM WITH CAMERA IN TOW.
AND WHEN I MEAN FOLLOW THEM ALL ACROSS THE FARM, I SERIOUSLY MEAN FOLLOW THEM THROUGH HILL AND DALE, UP TREES, OVER BALES, THROUGH SNOWDRIFTS AND THE LIKES. THERE WASN’T AN OBSTACLE I DIDN’T CLIMB (OR MAKE THEM CLIMB) TO GET THAT “PERFECT” PICTURE. WE DEFINITELY SHARED SOME LAUGHS WHEN I CLIMBED UP THOSE SPINDLY TREES TO GET MY WOODSY IMAGES, AND NO I DID NOT FALL. (MY BC ROOTS OF LUMBERJACKING HELPED ME!) 
AFTER A SUCCESSFUL SESSION I AM HAPPY TO HAVE BEEN CHOSEN BY THEM TO DO THEIR E-SESSION AND LOOK FORWARD TO THIS FALL WHEN THEIR WEDDING COMES AROUND.
