cassie and tyler had a dream. isn’t that usually how it starts? thing is, for lots of people, that’s also where it ends. what i love about their story is that they refused to let their dream die. luckily (for us and them), these two opened up the greatest little bakery you ever did see earlier this year and they are killing it. cassie is a classically trained pastry chef and she’s bringing my appreciation of the carb to a new level. pain au chocolat…be still my heart. i had the pleasure of documenting the creation and delivery of some of their most beloved products – if you live in/are visiting the fraser valley, you must check out their delightful shop in downtown abbotsford. i am not exaggerating when i say they are an answer to my prayers.
if you’re a small business and are interested in having me document your process/product, shoot me an email! sharalee@sharaleeprangphotography.com

childhood unplugged: september

as much as i detest war, i’m super fascinated by history and how these conflicts shape a country and culture. so when the opportunity came to pass by a fort at the end of our family vacation, i was excited to explore it. and my kids like guns, so it’s a win win (much to the chagrin of my little pacifist heart). interestingly enough, this fort was really never used as the invention of the airplane rendered it nearly defenceless in the early 1900s. if you’re in the area, i would highly recommend checking it out…bring a flashlight and scare the poop out of your kids in the bunkers.
take some time to go check out the other family adventures of the childhood unplugged ladies too!

let’s just kick this off by showing you a picture of the twins:
because we know that’s why you’re here. but check this out, these adorable little balls of wonder belong to an amazing family. one that is so full of love and fun and all the best things life has to offer. their mom has the kind of laugh that is explosive and contagious (which come to think of it, sounds like a terrible disease…but I promise you it’s the best disease you’ve ever had) and the way their dad loves his kids is so tender and engaging. and then there’s wick…not sure one little human has ever embodied so much personality (check out his baby pictures taken a year and a half ago).
london farm wedding | dave & brittany: married

these two are so darn good looking, it would be really easy not to like them…if only they weren’t so darn nice too.
this match wasn’t love at first sight, though…brittany had to battle her way past the “little sister” label to try and gain dave’s attention and it took more than an valentines kiss to seal the deal. but the beauty here is that once they committed, they committed for life.
and commit, they did in this beautiful afternoon ceremony; honoring their parents’ role in guiding them through childhood, recounting their dating journey and looking forward to the days ahead. together. it wasn’t all serious, though, between armpit checks, butt grabs, a very melodramatic “i do” and a slightly unorthodox recessional song (ask me later) there was so much fun to be had. it was such a brilliant celebration!

a blind date gone terribly, terribly…right. 20 minutes in and sean was sold on this red headed sommelier, vowing that this would be the last first date he ever went on.
and what a way to celebrate, on sean’s parents’ beautiful estate, friends and family coming in from far and wide on a beautifully warm (ahem, hot) afternoon. freckles, cowboy boots, great wine, comfort food, a champagne sabre, cute kids and a rocking party into the night all under a big white tent.

you may recognize these folks from the many milestones i’ve been able to document in their lives. amber and bonner are servants – they are constantly caring for and loving others. it was such an honor to be able to serve them for once!

i met these two years ago through mutual friends, in fact, i think it was before they were even married. certainly before either of us had children. now here they are, 2 kids later celebrating 10 years – TEN YEARS. so awesome to be a witness to faithfulness.
tyler & jayme: engaged

when we first met, i asked each of them what had initially attracted them to the other and their answers made me smile. she said his looks (which is so fun because often that’s the guy’s response) as he was super tanned and had a big beard while he talked about what a good heart she has and how she empathizes with people, especially the kids she works with. they are such a good match – both incredibly kind and generous and annoyingly good looking.
we had such a fun time hanging out together on their boat and have decided that i can now officially add marine photographer/sea captain to my list of skills/accomplishments.
