Facing Fears

I have faced a few fears since starting Forever Captured Photography.
I faced my fear of taking my drivers license. I had them years ago but when I lived in a bigger city I didn't have a car and thought oh why bother having my drivers lol.
Big mistake. So for many years I did not have a drivers. Well my son was thinking about going for his drivers and I thought there is no way my son will have his drivers before me. The challenge was on!!
I am an on-location photographer so it makes sense that I have my drivers...
On an engagement session we thought oh how neat to do some images on the train bridge by the Weir. So there I faced my fear of heights. Then we booked a wedding with a couple that was getting married in the Radisson. ( Hi Tara & Jason) I thought when we were booking oh well I have months to get over my fear of the elevator and heights again as the room where they were getting ready were on the 18th and 19th floor. OHHH my!!!
Well the day before the wedding rehearsal there I was going up the elevator to face my fear. I did it!!!
So on wedding day we went way up up up!! And I got this image to prove to my family that I did go wayyy up and faced the fear. This image is from the 18th floor from the groom's room.

And this image is from the bride's room on the 19th floor. Look at the tiny people wayyy down there....


But when it was time to go down for the ceremony the elevator was stopping on every floor and filling up so by the 16th floor I think I said I can't do this and got out with my camera backpack on my back and hiked down to the 3rd floor via the stairs lol. It is easier to go down than up lol.
Anyways I would love it if you would share a fear you have faced!!
I am going to choose a winner from the entries and there will be a prize package for the special person that wins.
Entry deadline will be December 15th.
So think about a fear you have faced and send it to me via my email

Grey Cup Sunday!

Who is going to win???
I have an adorable image to share with all the Rider fans.


For me it is a win win situation with whoever wins. Living here it would be great for the Riders to win. But I am a Manitoba girl so it would be awesome for the Bombers to win as well.
My heart I must admit is still in Manitoba where home is and my family soooo hoping everything is fun and lighthearted here
GO BOMBERS!!!
whoever wins I am sure it is going to be an awesome game!

The warmth of a kiss

It was once again soo cold and we were losing light fast.
As fall turns to winter the light seems to disappear with it. We managed to get a few keepers and will reshoot the rest next wknd earlier in the day.
I can't wait for their beach wedding in the warmth of summer!!
I had fun guys and amongst the cold I hope you did too.
Take care!!

This was a fun session and a beautiful home!! I can't wait to go back when the baby comes!
Thanks so much for sharing these sweet last moments of pregnancy with me and allowing me to capture them!!
Take care guys and keep resting mom!!

On the Road

So after the wedding on Saturday I travelled down the road to Perdue on Sunday to visit this little precious boy!!
We had a little visit and took some pictures. It was tough to get him to sleep but he did get there eventually and snap snap snap we went.
Here is a little sneak peek for mommy & daddy!!

From This Day Forward

Tara & Jason love each other so much and it was especially evident on their special day!!
The wedding started the night before with a rehearsal and then a pizza party for the wedding party and then a meet and greet for out of town guests.
Everyone was happy and friendly and it was a fun time!!
Gifts for the family and wedding party were handed out and smiles were everywhere.
The next day began early in the morning at 10 am at the Guru Salon and then it was off to the Make-Up Studio. A beautiful ceremony a quick formals break and then it was time for cocktails and dinner. A very elegant day!!
Congratulations Tara & Jason and best wishes on a happy life together!!!
Sheila & Megan

Here are Megan's






And here are some of mine.







There was even a candy bar!! That was definately a hit. I had intentions of doing a ring shot amongst the rosebuds but they were gone before dinner was even served.. LOL
so I settled for a tootsie roll and some hotlips instead.
