My Beautiful Lunch Dates

Well everyone, here are my high school best friends (minus one). It's a rare occurrence that we are all free and able together any more as we're all living in different places and sometimes life just gets in the way.

We've been friends for the past 7 years, and these are the people who always make me feel grounded as a person, and encourage me to be myself. I can't believe that I am so blessed to have them in my life each and everyday.

Evelynn by Nicole Snobelen Photo Shoot

I absolutely love modelling Evelynn! Nicole's just fantastic and fun, along with all the other girls that work along side her. I can't wait to be modelling in her next runway show on February 7th! I'm going to be wearing some gorgeous formal wear. It's going to be great!

A Few Days With Vic

Every year since grade nine, I do a photo shoot of Vic. She was my first model (other then my sister) and has been supporting me through my business journey since the very beginning! It's been a while since we've actually hung out and we realized we don't have very many good shots of the two of us together, so of course I whip out the camera, head to my backyard and start shooting! 

I had a blast spending the past few days with this girl, I'm so sad to send her off on that grey hound to go home today! 

Photo Shoot // SierraRose Photography

Sierra is this amazing photographer in my program and I was so thrilled when she asked me if she could photograph me. The photos turned out amazing! Share some love on her photography page HERE!

Evelynn Video Shoot

Last night, I was a part of really great team creating the promotional mood video for Nicole Snobelen's upcoming fashion show featuring her line Evelynn. Modelling in this video and soon to be in her fashion has been quite the experience as you all know, I'm usually behind the camera! But this was a whole lot of fun.

I have worked with Nicole for the first issue of Tred Magazine as she designed the dress for the front cover! So, it's great that we're working together again. I had never actually worn any of the Evelynn clothes before last night, and I am now a full on lover of all of the clothes! They were always so pretty, but after I put on the clothes, I instantly wanted to buy everything there. Everything fit so perfectly, the material feels so nice and the patterns are so artsy and fun! I highly recommend all of you to go check out some of Nicole's work! 

I'll share with you the video once it's released. But until then, this is just a little sneak peek of behind the scenes!

Pumpkin Carving With Some Pretty Awesome People

Well, these are some pretty awesome people I've got here. If you don't find me at my own house, you'll definitely find me at theirs. It's super handy to have them just down the road!
Even though these lovely ladies are super busy with all that normal university non-sense of homework, they took the time to shoot this little fall photo shoot for me. Well, really, they didn't have a choice, I kinda just walk into their house and tell them to be ready on a certain day and this is what they need to wear. Then on the day I show up with pumpkins and knives. But I appreciate them actually just going along with it!
And this was a great moment, Emilia carved her very first pumpkin!! We are making memories! And we've decided that we're going to do seasonal photo shoots. So now you need to wait until it starts to snow for our next little "family" shoot!
I love my girl friends! I don't know what I would do without them! ♥
