Back to life...

After my last post you may be wondering what's happening now? Well, you're not the only one. There are days, I'll admit, that I'd still like to lay in my bed all day and cry and drink tea and watch sad movies and wallow in my loss... but I don't. I've got two wacky busy boys, and a husband who need me, and family and friends who are infinitely supportive, and wonderful, and I couldn't get up every day without them. And so, I've been trying to get back to life, back to "normal" (because, what's normal anyways?!) and part of that is taking pictures.

I LOVE taking pictures. My family actually call me the mamarazzi because my kids are so over-exposed to photos (not IN photos...well, sometimes, but still!) that as soon as I point the camera at them they mug and smile and my 2 year old has a tendency to say 'You takea pichur me, Mom?' and want to see it (thank-you digital!). So, since my brother-in-law and his fiancee wanted some engagement pictures, when they asked me to take them, I was more than happy to! .... then I ended up in the hospital, and my life got turned on its head and everything was craptacular... but part of getting back to life is doing things like this.

So, Thursday, we went out, took LOTS of pictures (like 400 or so) and then Friday and Saturday I sat down to edit out the good ones, and I thought I'd share just a couple of them with you, blog-o-sphere!

Here are some of my favourites from the shoot with my b-i-l and his to-be!

love the almost silhouette quality of this one. :)

 I love to see a couple laughing and happy together.

I think this picture really exemplifies them as a couple. Love it!

Doesn't hurt when your subjects are so darned photogenic!

Dancing the night away for the rest of forever.

And having a laugh as well. :)

Congrats you two - wishing you all the best.

I had a lot of fun shooting them, I injured myself in like the first 10 minutes of the day (and now have a gross leg wound, but it's healing) and made them walk in a river, be goofy, lay on the ground... all in all, they were good sports. There are SO many more pics, but I think that I'll leave those to them to share with who they will. Looking forward to August 2013!

Tea.
