music monday: fourth edition

Monday, March 26th, 2012

this is a lady i’ve been listening to since high school (much to my poor mother’s shagrin).  i only put her on when cliff’s out of the house…i took him to see her at a folk festival when we were still dating and the abundance of hairy armpits and lack of brassieres made him very uncomfortable.

all that to say, she spoke (speaks) to me.  i could do without some of the dirty talk, but the thing was that she was pretty real.  especially in a time when not much else seemed to be.

and now we’re in an era when we feel safe and equal when the reality can be quite the opposite.  we need people like ani and my big sister to gently (and sometimes not so gently) remind us of those who are not safe and are not treated equally and remember that we too have a voice and can create change.  so let’s go make change, shall we?

(i prefer to just minimize the window and listen to the lyrics on this one.  but that’s just me.  or maybe just go read melissa’s blog while you listen)

(if you haven’t heard much about trayvon martin, do some reading…i know it’s american news and america is so much bigger and badder than we are up here in cozycanadia – insert tongue in cheek here – but it’s good to be informed and aware and then to do  something with the information you have)

how’s that for an uplifting start to the week?!

the van der Bergs: family

Wednesday, March 21st, 2012

i got to meet this family last year after doing an engagement session for joanna’s sister (only one of my favorite engagement sessions. ever.). i was so pleased when she contacted me about doing some pictures for their daughter who just turned one.  she’s not walking yet, but boy could that girl move!  she was pretty wary of me for the majority of the session, but i can tell you that she does like: 1. dogs 2. the wind 3.getting dirty and 4. her mom & dad.

music mondays: third edition

Tuesday, March 20th, 2012

this week we’re coming at you with a throw back to my youth.  picture me. fourth grade. working on a socials project with my best friend, stacey.  i had a huge crush on a this boy named robbie who had those bangs that stuck up in front of the brim of his hat – you know what i’m talking about.  we popped in this tape and recorded the timing so that we could rewind it to precisely the beginning of this song.  over and over again.  i think we listened to it 34 times in a row that day.  you can understand why.

today was the first time i ever watched the video.  my fourth grade self definitely didn’t sense the eastern european connection, but you know.  i was young.  song still gives me chills.

kevin & megan: married

Friday, March 16th, 2012

family.  a word with broad definition.  a word that has incredible emotion attached to it.  a word that cannot be summed up in one picture, or by one “make up”.

megan is part of a big, loving family.  a mom, dad, 4 sisters and a brother.  the driessens = a large family.  megan has a baby.  megan + dom = a little family.  megan loses her mom which results in a large family with a big hole, yet still. a family.  kevin comes along and asks if he can join the little family.  with him, comes another large family that embraces the little family as if it were its own. and here we sit with one huge, beautiful family.

kevin and megan’s wedding day was full of life and remembrance and celebration of the hope that is their future together.  now that is what i call family.

this fella got all up in our business and was pretty certain i wasn’t actually going to take a picture of him.  he thought wrong.

The lovely wedding vendors:

Ceremony: Trinity Christian Reformed Church // Reception&Catering: Ramada Inn & Conference Centre // Bride’s boots: Hunter // Girls’ shoes: Aldo // Bride’s & Girls’ dresses: Champagne & Lace // Girls’ Hair: Transformations Hair Design // Girls’ Make-up: Chantelle Arends & Kelsea Tebrinke // Tuxes: Ronald Allan // Florist: vanDraager Nurseries // Wedding favors (cow candles): Wedding Star // Wedding sign: Love in Letters

music monday: second edition

Monday, March 12th, 2012

for this instalment of music mondays, i would be remiss if i didn’t share my favorite band with you.  you will likely see their names pop up again…they’re just that good.

my sister and i sang this at our eldest sister’s wedding as she walked down the aisle.  not a dry eye in the place.

dedicated to my dear friends who were recently engaged (i know that’s kind of a cheesy dedication, but i’m excited, okay?!).  i met with them about their wedding this morning and i gotta tell you, it’s going to off the hook.  and i get to be there to document it all!!  cutest ever?  you tell me.

the barkmans: family

Tuesday, March 6th, 2012

i met debbie last year at the old school market – she was looking for a photographer for the grand opening of her new art studio.  this place is seriously amazing.  an incredible environment for learning, creating…it’s beautiful.  and debbie is a lovely woman, so kind and outgoing and great with the kids.

so it was my absolute privilege to take their family pictures, a first anniversary gift for their daughter and her husband.  after a brief setback due to “movember”, we snagged a sunny but COLD february afternoon to document these four.

music mondays

Monday, March 5th, 2012

i love music.  i grew up surrounded by it.  as a toddler, my parents led music and drama teams that traveled the world…i got to visit places like india and holland before i was even out of diapers.  when we settled in at home, my mom taught piano lessons and us girls quickly followed suit, picking up instruments from the ukelele to the saxophone.  we grew up listening to gospel on the record player and watching all the classic musicals, even getting to act in a few once i hit high school.

all that to say, i didn’t have much of a chance NOT to love music.  and though i never lived out my secret ambition of playing in a band, i am still so inspired by those who write and create and bring the rest of us along with them on their musical journey.

my photography is also hugely inspired by music, so i thought i’d start a little weekly “segment” where i can share some music that i love in the hopes that it inspires you too!

to kick it off, i thought there was no better way to begin a monday than with a peppy little tune by this fellow i was first introduced to through a project he did with the st. james music academy.

enjoy!

now it’s your turn – what inspires you?
