Hot chocolate was immediately consumed after taking these!







Holy cow! I just realized I have fallen off the blogging wagon and have been mia for over 3 weeks! This can attest to how busy (and crazy) life is right now!
We have bought a house! Even though it is not exactly our dream house (I guess who’s really is?), we LOVE it and are excited nonetheless! More space, more bedrooms, new furniture! Aidan, my wonderful little helper has decided that it’s more fun taking things out of boxes after they have been neatly put in and all of a sudden the toys that I pack because they are never played with are now the greatest toys on earth. On top of the packing frenzy I have been having some late nights working like a madwoman to put up galleries from these past two boudoir marathon weekends, which I will share very soon! I wish I could see an end to this busy life but right now it seems like I have a never ending to do list. Oh and I turned 24 a couple weeks ago… does that mean I’m now in my mid-20’s?
If anyone can help me take one frustration off of my hands, please tell me where I can get a chair similar to this..

- I like that chair, lets go hunt this weekend! I think I'll take Aidan out so you can get some stuff done tonight.
- Congrats on the new house! That's so exciting. I'm sure it'll be super crazy the next little bit but also be so wonderful when it's all over! Can't help you with the chair, sorry! Wish I could, although then I'd want there to be two because that chair's awesome!
- oh it is SO hard to pack with kids!! kennedy was the same way. west elm has a chair you might like (no armrests but similar shape) http://www.westelm.com/products/f990/?pkey=cchairs-ottomans
- oh and did I mention... CONGRATULATIONS ON THE HOUSE!!
- Thanks Carissa, unfortunately we don't have a West Elm here - boo for Canadian stores! I have actually found similar chairs online, all US based of course!
Over the holidays, I photographed Brittany & Adam’s wedding! I loved the bridal party’s attire - so simple and classic. His suit, her dress, the barrette that held her hair in place. Everything! The transformation of their venue was gorgeous! Terra Law from Inspired Ocassions did an amazing job of putting it all together. Every last detail portrayed Adam and Brittany so well.
Thank you both for having me capture your beautiful day!





















- Fantastic photos Maria! Love, love, love the curtains in the "cultural hall". Totally transforms it. What an awesome idea! Beautiful couple!
- Wow! Beautiful work Maria and Terra really made it come together! What a team :-)

- Gorgeous job, Maria! You are such a talent...
- I was so excited to see these! I knew how much you wanted to shoot a wedding in Cardston and you did an amazing job. You always do. I really like the bw ones of her cuddling up to him. The color one outside by the fence is delicious. What a beautiful couple.
- as usual... beautiful!
- looooove the b&w shot of the church! all beautiful!
- WOW!!! That was amazing!!!
20 weeks, 20 more to go! I am half way there with this pregnancy and Thursday is the big ultrasound. We are still deciding if we will find out what we are having, the suspense isn’t killing me just yet. My goal for the New Year is to document my family more including myself. I am hoping to reach the point where I can get in front of any camera and not feel so awkward. Wish me luck!
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
