Happy Father's Day

It has been a long week in the Cannan household. Every year James takes a trip down to Mexico, with a team from our church, and they build a home for a needy family, it really is a worthwhile cause, but it means sacrifice too; our life is so different when he is gone. We love him and need him in so many different ways. He got last night, just in time for Father's Day.

He is such a wonderful daddy who adores his children and his wife. He is so giving and warm and genuine and fun. He knows how to be silly and make his children laugh and how to be sensitive and compassionate when they are hurting or struggling. He is such a wonderful example to us all.

Last year I started, what I have decided will now be a tradition, for as long as the kids will allow it to be anyway, and took a photograph of the three of them lying on a black background. (You can click here to see last year's photograph and how much they have changed). I think it will be fun to look back in years to come and see these, side by side. Of course it will probably make me cry too, but I hope they will be sweet tears of remembrance of the good times, of a house full of tiny feet and shrieks and giggles.

We make pretty darn cute kids together, even if I do say so myself! Happy Father's Day my love, you are the best Daddy in the whole world.

Wedding - Steve and Allie's Sneak Peek

I love weddings, I always have and cannot possibly imagine that ever changing. They are such joyous occasions. Everybody makes extra effort to look nice, it is a happy time.

Just over a week ago was Steve and Allie Nelken's wedding, which I had the opportunity to second-shoot at, once again with David Nelson. It is a lot of work, but being part of a team to capture the day makes it a lot less stressful and more fun.

After a week of rain it was the most gorgeous day and I do believe fun was had by all.

Enjoy the little sneak peek.
