I spent the last 4 days in Calgary, Alberta to shoot one of my dear friends wedding. I saw the beautiful mountains, ate some Tim Hortons, bought ketchup chips, laughed a ton, went to my first bar and drank my first shot, and met some wildly awesome people. The wedding was fab, the weather was glorious, and the country actually surprised me by its lush landscapes and plenty to do. It also made my wallet cry from how expensive everything was!

Here are a couple shots from my trip as well as from the wedding. To see more of my work, check out my website (here).

Hope everyone enjoyed their week! I certainly did.

I love God. He made the earth. Therefore, I love the earth. He gave us the earth to take care of and so it is all of our responsibility to do our part!

There is something beautiful about being close to the earth and working with the things that we have already! This year I will be planting a garden! I will be planting green tea, camomile (or anthems nobles), aloe vera, and an assortment of herbs. Additionally, I will be planting kale! I read this book in Barnes & Noble the other day about making all natural remedies for sickness and ailments and it was so interesting! All of these things that God has given us in the earth are filled with nutrients and positive qualities. They are right at our fingertips! So in my free time I will be experimenting with making my own teas, creating natural oils for my dry skin, and exploring all different ways to use things that come from the earth. I think it will help me to be more grateful for everything I have around me and will teach me how to be more self sustaining. I hope to expand my array of vegetables, fruits, and flowers as I get the hang of things!
