But before I show those photos, I just wanted to take a moment to remind everyone that this Friday is  Remembrance Day.
It’s odd how every year in school we would learn about that day, we would remember it, and have a ceremony. And this may sound bad, but as a child I don’t think I ever really understood the sacrifice. And now as an adult, as a wife and as a mother, I can say I truly and without a doubt am forever grateful. For those who gave up their warm houses, clean clothes, three meals a day… Those who said goodbye to their parents, their siblings, their wives and children. Who suffered and fought and gave up everything to make sure that their children.. and their grandchildren could live in a better world. I can’t even imagine having to say goodbye to my husband, not knowing if I would ever see him again. Knowing that my children could grow up without their father. I think we all sometimes get so busy in life we fail to see how lucky we are. We live in a great country. We didn’t have to endure those horrible times. I hope we can all remember to be thankful for those who sacrificed their lives back then, and who continue to do so today. Where would we be without those courageous hearts?

And now, some photos for this family..

And their beautiful mom..

Here is another sneak peek for a family that I met last year, I LOVE working with them! This year we did a little extended session with their sister’s family, and some grandparents So much fun!

Thank you so much for having me back to your home! It really is a pleasure to photograph your family! Happy Thanksgiving

Over the last few days I’ve had a few people tell me how lucky I am, to be able to take so many photos of Claire and have so many memories. And I truthfully feel as though I don’t take ENOUGH photos. I feel like everyday goes by so fast, that quite often I don’t stop long enough to enjoy the little moments. I keep reminding myself to pull out my camera, even on the days where we are just sitting at home and playing! I keep reminding myself that laundry can wait, decorating my house can wait, but time will not wait for me. Time doesn’t give you second chances, you’ve gotta use it wisely.

So let me just say this… grab your cameras! Take as many photos as you can because I can’t think of anything in my house that I would care about having in twenty or thirty years from now except for my photos.

I hope you all have an amazing weekend with your families. I LOVE this time of year. This thanksgiving, it’s just me, my sister and Claire. My parents are in Newfoundland, and my hubby and the rest of my family are in Nova Scotia. BUT, I am still thankful for everything that I have. I’m grateful to have a “second family” who takes us drifters in every year for dinner.. I’m grateful for my health, my loving husband, my beautiful daughter, and my encouraging and selfless family. I hope you’ll all take a few minutes this weekend and take some photos of what your thankful for.
