The day before valentines day, in front of  family and friends, Casey and Owen declared their love for one another.  Casey and Owen were both very relaxed and laid back, enjoying their day, suit jackets and ties were left at home, Casey kicked off her heels once the ceremony was over. Their wedding was their own, unique to them, which makes their day even more special. We had our fingers crossed for good weather, the weather forecast had predicated rain, then just thunder storms and the back to rain, so things were not looking good. The day started off with rain but thankfully it cleared up and stay away right until we were just finishing up and heading to the reception.

Thank you Owen and Casey for sharing your day with me, it was an honor to capture it.

Today is Shrove Tuesday, also known as Pancake Tuesday and while we did not have pancakes for dinner we did have them for dessert.

We added some extra’s to our pancakes, ice-cream and maple syrup….yummm!! I also cheated and we used store bought pancakes instead of making our own, much easier and still tasted great.

Hope that you are having a great Tuesday!

My brother has had a pet ferret for a few years now and he is always asking if I could take photos. Not of him and his pet, but just the ferret! I had always said no because, well ferrets kinda creep me out. They remind me of a really big mouse or rat, both of which I would run screaming in the opposite direction if I saw one. After many attempts at trying to convince me that the ferret, named Snickers, was cute, lovable and even did tricks I still wasn’t convinced. Last December I finally relented and agreed to take photos of Snickers, I still was hesitate and  told him that I wasn’t going to be getting close too little old Snickers.

The day of the photo shoot arrived and I had myself convinced that this would be a piece of cake, Snickers would keep her distance and my brother would make sure there was always a good distance between myself and Snickers. As soon as he stepped out the car with snickers I started to have a sinking feeling, “what the heck was I thinking’ crossed my mind! Snickers moves fast and a few times was headed straight towards me (getting way too close for my liking), I may have even shrieked a few times. I am sure my brother and his girlfriend thought I was insane to be so worried. I liked Snickers the best when she was in her exercise ball or on her lead (oh yea, you can get a lead for a ferret)

It has taken me until now to edit the photos because I just couldn’t bring myself to look at my brothers beloved pet, it still freaks me out.  While I was editing I did come across this photo that I thought was cute (well cute for a ferret).

So the point of this post, I guess I could say we should all go beyond our comfort zones, try something different. The reality, just wanted to share this experience with you.

So tell me, what is the strangest/ creepiest thing you have photographed?
