::: Same, Same but Different. Pt. 2 // Racing the Shadows :::

After dinner with our new Toronto friends we decided to go see the famous CN Tower. We were literally running—racing to get to the top of the tower to catch the sunset and get some sweet photos of Toronto at dusk. While running to the tower (that was 3 miles away), we saw this little nook and stopped for this photo. We took 20 seconds to take a few photos and we were off. This will forever be one of my favorite photos of my love. I’ll race the shadows any day with him.

About the title: “Same, Same but Different” was a saying that Matt and I would hear when we were walking the streets of Hong Kong a few years ago and it’s been an inside joke ever since. Canada felt so much like the States in so many ways with subtle differences.

Matt and I went to Toronto, Canada last week for a little much needed vacation. Since Matt just finished his 4th year of grad school and this Spring was a busy time for LLP we thought that it would be a nice break before Matt’s Summer speaking schedule and my shoot schedule begins. And oohhhh it was! The first question one person must ask themselves when they get to Toronto is “why wouldn’t I buy a hot dog from a 24 hour/day hot dog stand?” Seeing many logical reasons why we shouldn’t, we denied all logic and indulged in the awesomeness. I hope this makes you hungry!

I will be posting Toronto blog posts all week. This Toronto blog series will be a little insight into our treks. Please check throughout the week and then plan your vacation to Toronto, because it’s awesome and Canadians are too.

So here’s to Toronto, where vacations and diversity happen:

This is just before this lovely lady told me that I needed to pay for this photo of her. I did and it was worth it.

Bacon bits: for the times when you don’t have enough pork on your hot dogs.

Yum.

::: The Warren Family :::

When my Nashville friend Vanessa, founder and creative genius of Butterfly SpArks, asked me to take their family photos, I was THRILLED for the opportunity. The Warrens are so sweet and oh-so-talented! We had an absolute blast photographing their family. Hands down my favorite moment of the shoot was watching Heather watch Noah while we took photos of Vanessa and her husband, Mark. Crazy things happen when kids play with Heather.

Thank you guys so much for the privilege to photograph your beautiful family! Much love to you all!

Today, it snowed a record amount in Dallas and we decided to take advantage of the beautiful (and rare) scenery with some maternity photos of my beautiful sister-in-law. How gorgeous is she? 33 weeks and the most beautiful pregnant woman I’ve ever seen. I can’t wait to meet her daughter in a few weeks and see her become a mother.

{How amazing…}

My amazing assistant, Heather, carried the umbrella so my cameras didn’t get wet. Love this shot of the two of them.

::: Little Lady :::

Our little (almost) 18 month old lady, her BaBa, cowboy hat & boots. What else could a girl need? She’s growing up so fast…

(OH! And a girl must have keys!)

This series cracks me up. She was crying because her boots were so heavy she could barely walk. Pain is beauty!

All was well when Bon Iver played.
