Jenn & Jesse,

It was so much fun having you guys here on our property and getting to do your maternity pictures!!! Jenn, you are so beautiful and you look amazing in the photos!!! So excited for you to see them all and so excited for you to have your first little one!!! I also thankful that Jesse managed to get you out of those boots! HA HA! Loved seeing you guys again!!!

My greatest prayers and blessings over the birth and the baby,

Micheline

Yvonne & Richard,

It was a pleasure to be on your family’s property again and take photos – Shane and I always feel so welcome and loved by all of you when we are there.  Your wedding felt so intimate, pretty (especially with all the wild flowers) and even felt vintage in a way  – probably in part because of the beautiful yellow wedding dress! We are so glad that it worked out for us to be a part of it! Enjoy these photos and we pray immense blessings over your life together!

Great happiness upon you,

Micheline & Shane

Emalee, Jade, Yvonne, Jed, and kidlets,

It was SO incredibly great finally meeting you all! It did feel like I (Mich) had known you forever – and it was so fun and so comfortable doing this photo shoot! Thanks for waiting so patiently for a WHOLE year to take photos with us – I am hoping it was well worth the wait. We love how these photos turned out and are so excited for you to see them!

Bless you all so very much,

Micheline & Shane

We feel so special that you plan a year in advance – when you know the dates for your family holidays in the Kootenays and then you hire us to do pictures of your kids – WOW – how can we not be flattered?! It was so great to get the chance to connect with you again and to see your kids (thanks for all of the horsey advice BTW :))! We hope you love these images and that your travels back home were safe and good. Thanks so much!!!

Bless you abundantly,

Micheline & Shane

Amanda – you are just all around lovely in every way! Thanks for asking us to photograph you with your horses – they are so beautiful and your passion for them is equally beautiful! Congratulations on your 2009 Chinook Rodeo Championship – we hope that these images commemorate some of those memories for you! We are pretty sure though that you are going to have a hard time choosing…

Cheers, Micheline & Shane

Leanne, Maurice and family,

Other than being rained out during our photo shoot the day went quite well and we enjoyed having you guys here for a visit! Your boys are fast but we managed to capture them a few times at least – the girls were easy easy easy! I think they LIKE getting their photo taken! ;) You two are by far the bravest parents we have ever had – climbing so high in the apple tree ! In hind sight we were kinda wishing we had sent the whole family up in the tree – how fun would that have been!?

Bless you guys,

Micheline & Shane

You are a beautiful couple – inside and out!!! Shane and I had enormous amounts of fun photographing you two on your wedding day – you both have such an amazing gift with people – you make us feel like old friends – thank-you! We are so thrilled with these photos and so excited for you to see them – you both look like movie stars in these photos!!! We hope that the rest of your wedding day was fun filled and joyful as you celebrated with all the family who traveled so very far! Congratulations you two – we hope you keep us in touch and up-to-date on all your travels!

Great warmth,

Micheline & Shane

Aimee and Shane,

We have always loved Forsteele – no matter how many times we do photos there we always find something great! Your wedding was lovely and we even had a bit of clouds to keep us from sweating too much!!! You were both so patient and great for us  and it truly paid off!!! We hope you love these images as much as we do!

Great warmth, Micheline & Shane

Natalie & Roman,

Thanks for traveling to our property to do your family photos! It was so great to have you here – a bit of a HOT day but still fun! We hope you managed to find good food on your way out and enjoyed a little bit of Creston culture. :) Thanks also for always being so faithful to us – you guys are good to us! Have an amazing summer,

Shane & Micheline
