And well he is seriously one of the kindest men I know. They’re fabulous people with a fabulous little baby on the way. While I was out west, there was no doubt that we had to take advantage of me being so close. And what a perfect time for photos since she’s “preggo” (as she says – for some reason I really hate that term – why? I don’t know!).

Julia & Mike, Justin and I hope the best for you and your little one :)

I hope you enjoy this lifestyle short film that Justin put together!

And now for the photos…

I just loved this old door she had in her house.

This is the Julia laugh that is SO contagious!

Aside from our mutual friend Justin, Mike has got to be THE BIGGEST SPORTS fan of life!

This next shot was definitely appropriate for them.  Thank You Elisha for the idea!

We took some photos in their yard because it was SO green from all that rain!

After a long day of rain, the sun came out just in time to go back down… but the light was perfect for this shoot!

This shoot was something very special for us… because Glenn is Justin’s dad.  We could not be happier that Jeannine is the one joining the Driedger family.  She brings so much joy to Glenn and she’s someone so sweet or as she says so often “priceless”.  Over the past few days, we’ve been able to really see the love they have for each other.  And I’ve decided that everyone deserves to be happy no matter how young or old you are because one thing is always true: We all need to love and to be loved!

After so many tears of sadness over the past year, there were tears of JOY shed yesterday as we watched the short film that Justin put together of our time with them!

And now for the photos.
