Dandelions, penny boards, and two lovely people


I took these photos of two absolutely wonderful people, Shelby and Tanner, a couple of months ago in late summer. The sun was a hazy red due to smoke moving south from the B.C. wildfires, and the evening air was warm and calm. These two make "couples photography" so easy. I follow around with my camera, happily snapping away as Shelby and Tanner fly around on penny boards, frolic in open fields, and hang out in front of a vintage school house. These are some of my favorite photos of these two - aren't they good looking?! And even more, they are two of the most fantastic people this world has. Thanks for making photography so fun, you two!  

Much love, Vivi

Let Autumn Roll in Softly


With five weeks of my final year of university behind me, it's at last beginning to feel like autumn. 

The vibrant greens of leaves remove themselves from center stage as shades of burgundy and warm ocher yellow come to life. Gourds, crisp apples, and pumpkin pie fill the shelves of grocery stores, and with welcome arms we bring them into our home. The evenings are that magical kind of warm, with quilts and knitted goods and socks of familiar comfort. Decorations that smell of cinnamon and clove make their way from cupboards and totes, and memories, they come back quickly. 

Wishing you and your's a wonderful Thanksgiving, Canadian friends! Soak up the beautiful time with loved ones and ponder on some thoughts of thankfulness. What's on my heart right now? Thankful for peace, thankful for decisions made, thankful for people, thankful for resilience.    

Much love, Vivi
