mr. C and his crazy backflips!

Dirks' Leave the Country

I'm running a bit behind on my photo postings, but I'm trying! So here's a big one!

We left for a road trip this summer down through the states, packed mom's minivan (which we placed bets on as to how long it would last before we had to have it towed home) as well as the Harley dad was riding the entire trip.  We switched off throughout the tour...through Montana and Idaho dad and I removed the helmets and let the wind blow through our hair - which in turn ripped a lot of hair out.  I watched my Oakley sunglasses be run over in Kalispel after they slipped off the roof of the minivan - my fault entirely.  We drove over 3500 km's in 4 days, down into Montana, Idaho and Washington, up through BC and eventually home.  A lot of laughter and memories were made on our trip...AND, the minivan made it...not sure how.  

Our first day we stopped in Turner Valley with our friend Thomas...

Someone please pass me my glasses....yes, while we were driving....

Trevor, we sacrificed him more often than not on this trip - the smallest, youngest blonde boy with blue eyes

This wasn't as glorious as it may look, that water was absolutely ice cold.  I had a headache for the rest of the night...but I had clean hair!

just a sneak peak

I was just rummaging through some old black and white film and ran into one of these oldies.

Dan & Alanna

Alanna scooped me up for a quick photoshoot of her and Dan while they were up visiting from Calgary for the weekend. We wandered around my dad's land for a bit, and then into my uncle and aunts yard (the red barn). It was a hilarious hour spent together - next time we'll make sure the straw stays out of the pants while sliding off the bales! haha.

Jason & Jess

As well as the family photos and engagement photos (as seen below), we snapped a few pictures of Jason and Jess who were up from Minneapolis for thanksgiving visiting Jason's family.

Joel & Ashley

Another gorgeous day for engagement photos. Jess and I headed north of Edmonton to the Dusseault farm for a great afternoon spent with a great group of people. We had so many options for backgrounds, so we toured around the farm and captured some beautiful photos of Joel and Ashley, as well as the rest of her family. Thanks for having us out!
