howe sound brewing wedding | sean & kirsten: married
Monday, September 29th, 2014
18 years old, new to vancouver, adjusting to college life, bored on a field trip to the forest. “hot half asian guy” (her words, not mine) enters the scene and it was like a perfect storm. she admits to making the first move, but after 8 years together, he was still able to surprise her when he popped the question.
which brings us to squamish, home of beautiful mountains and good beer – both things sean & kirsten appreciate. the tone of the day was one of gratitude, for love and relationship and community…and good weather! such a fun one to be a part of.

abbotsford family photographer | carleigh: expectant
Monday, September 15th, 2014
there are times that i am brought to the point of speechlessness when trying to describe someone i love. for this woman, however, i have no shortage of words. which could be a problem. 
this is a woman of honour and courage. one of the strongest and simultaneously gentlest people i know. she is honest. she knows how to love fully. she is also all too familiar with sorrow. there is something about a person who can celebrate while being fully engulfed in sorrow and loss. bringing carleigh to the water wasn’t just about taking pretty pictures…it was also illustrating the ability to be immersed while still breathing. to be “in it” while still living. to be grieving and still giving. that’s grace. and she embodies it. and these little lives are going to be covered in the grace that she has received and freely gives. hallelujah.

local business: duft & co bakehouse
Thursday, September 11th, 2014
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
Monday, September 1st, 2014
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!
