Melt my heart

Ok, maybe it’s the pregnancy hormones, but I seriously cannot get enough of this video on You Tube.  Is this not the cutest thing ever ?!

Click HERE to watch it.  Oh and they also made it on Ellen, which is a super adorable interview if you want to check it out HERE.

Can’t get enough.  Hope this made you smile!

I LOVE IT!!!! 😀

First signs of Spring

Daffodils emerging, crocuses are up, blossoms are blooming and yes Spring is in the air!  This change of season makes me SO happy.  I almost feel like a new person around this time every year with a new found energy.  My spirit is lighter and filled with renewal.

Oh Kim, sounds wonderful…I will live thru you for a bit, we are excited the snow in our yard is almost gone + some our lawn is green 😉 love the blossoms!!

Colour of the Year

2011 is going to be an amazing wedding year for me.  I just know it.  I have the best couples to work with and I am so excited to learn the details of their day that make their wedding uniquely ‘theirs’.  Although I do have some hands-on grooms who have really been involved in the wedding planning process, for the most part it is the brides I always deal with.  Our relationship often develops over the course of the year as they plan their day and I am always so excited to learn little tidbits and sneak peaks about the style and elements of the wedding.  It’s a perk!  Whether we are chatting about the cutest little garter she found on Etsy (Jenny!), a bouquet that will top all bouquets, or the most fabulous DIY invites I just love seeing it all come together.

Yesterday I had an email from one of my incredible brides, Elaine, that made me squeel.  Literally.  My cat Dezzy even jumped from his curled up ball on my desk.  When Elaine had first emailed me about their wedding, I was smitten.  Not only are they a couple who is absolutely the sweetest and so truly in love, but learning about their wedding style and vision for their day made my heart flutter.  By the time we actually met for our consult I wanted to book their wedding so bad I am pretty sure I would have broke into the ugly cry if they decided not to book with me.  Elaine and I have emailed back and forth throughout their planning and she has kept me all up-to-date on the gorgeous details of their day.  Yesterday she told me about the bridesmaid dresses.  They are all going to be in various shades of pink, including Pantone’s Honeysuckle colour of the year *love*, and all CHIFFON!  How amazing does this sound?  I know it will photograph like a dream and this just made me more excited about capturing the gorgeous-ness of their day.

Loving my baby

I am starting to feel some nervous excitement knowing that our baby could be arriving any time now.  I think it almost feels surreal at this point.  I can’t quite wrap my head around the fact that I will be holding our beautiful baby in my arms so soon now after almost 10 months of carrying him in my belly.  The thought of holding him, smelling his sweet skin, and gazing into his eyes for the first time puts a lump in my throat.  I have so much love for him already.

Because I have been wondering lately if he may make an early appearance I wanted to take some final belly pics and what better day to do it than yesterday with all that glistening snow.

Darren captured this image for us and I think he did a wonderful job.  Thank you sweetie 🙂

Paul – there was a HUGE bay window in the room, along with two other little windows. So LOTS of natural light. Just how I like it 🙂

PaulFebruary 24, 2011 - 11:19 am

Very nice Kim. Where do you get that natural light?
