This is Candice and David.  They were such a beautiful couple to work with.  Very relaxed, sweet, easy going and fun. They really just wanted for me to just go with the feeling of the day and have fun.  These types of photo shoots are always exciting.  It means the sky is the limit.

We did this photo shoot on a very cold sort of day.  They were troupers withstanding the briskness, especially down by the water.

This photo shoot was taken in Toronto at Kew Beach and a pretty park nearby park.  The indoor photos were of Candice’s family homes, it is something that means a lot to her family and she wanted it to be apart of the photo.

This shoot was photographed in a modern vintage style with an undeniable tones of romance.

I loved our time together!

Wishing you a creative sort of night,

Lindsay

When you visit a local bridal show, you often receive a bridal bag. It is filled with many goodies from different vendors.  It will have fliers and coupons, business cards and amongst the various items you will find this cookie.

It was baked for each one of you with thought, attention to detail and care.  It is not something that arrives from a baker or a gift making company.  It is directly from the center of Linden to you.

Each show about 250 little cookies are baked from scratch, designed with thought and care, and packaged with love. It takes a few days of time. By the end I have cookies on every counter space possible.

I do this because I believe every item, even a bridal bag giveaway is important.  It is a gift.  I do this so you know that even though we haven’t met, I care about the details, I care about making your experience fun and enjoyable.

So when you are looking through your bag and you find that delicious confection, know that I was thinking about you.

I hope you enjoy!

Made with love,

In my world, for the last 7 years there was a big beautiful, larger then life dog named Ozzie. He was a golden doodle.

I am dedicating today’s post to him.

He had a smile that could turn the even darkest of days to bright.

He would dance for his food, prance on his walks, he loved hide-and-go-seek, he was a bit of a foolish clown, and a gentle giant.

Every day he made me feel safe, and adored.

This morning at 2AM, I watched the light go out of his eyes.  The last day had been a roller coaster, his two lungs collapsed, it was unexpected.  There was no trauma, no definitive cause, there was nothing we could have done.  In a way, it was very random, and extremely unexpected. Do to his age, the fact he was happy, healthy, well pampered, went to the vet regularly for check-ups and loved we expected 3-6+ more years.

I am not going to ask the world why, I am not going to shout out and make a scene about unfairness, as that is not going to bring him back.

What I shall do is just feel grateful that I got to be with him in his last moments, blessed for all the moments that he made me smile, he made me laugh and was my friend, and that he loved me purely and unconditionally.

Today is a sad day.  But, if Ozzie has taught me anything while he graced our lives with his presence is to enjoy every moment, to laugh often, that every person you meet is a new possible friend and to find contentment in the simplest things.

Ozzie, you shall be sorely missed.

But tomorrow shall be a brighter day.

I have attached one of my last photo shoots Of Ozzie.  He is with my nephew.  This is how I will remember him, with people he loved most, smiling.

With Love,

New Product Line Alert!  I now am offering custom made photo jewellery.  It is wearable art!  I do all the designs myself.  You can choose from a variety of the many different samples or you can choose an art photo or an image from a photo shoot we have done together.  The sky is the limit.

This beautiful wedding was photographed at both the Best Western and the KayCee Gardens.  We really couldn’t have asked for more lovely weather, or a perfect day!

These are one of those moments, I really love to share.

Enjoy!

I truly had a delightful time at the “Your Dream Day Bridal Show” .  This was this first year for the show, and I believe it was a successful day.

I met lots of wonderfully talented vendors, beautiful brides and discovered some delicious confections and beautifully crafted products.   Some exciting new products being offered:

 Linden Creative fantasy post cards and greeting cards available for purchase.  This is a beautiful addition to any gift. Gift Certificates also available, these are great for any occasion or celebration!  Even my business cards are now a photo experience.  Have fun choosing the one that represents you. Printed on a beautiful, holdable piece of fine-art cardstock.  My way of giving you a little piece of pocket art.

And now for something completely silly!  There were fun little machines that do printable images one the day or at the event. It was so much fun.  Just remember you only get one copy so don’t loose it!

Thank-you Rita from Noah Brown’s Bridal for being a little silly with me.  See examples of Rita’s beautiful wedding dresses here: http://www.noahbrownbridal.com/

Also, kudos to the man who photo-bombed myself and Rita, and Mom and myself in the photos, well played sir!  Well played.

A special thank-you to my Mom who was at the show, who in her early retirement has decided to help with my constantly growing business.  I truly appreciate all you do.

And thank-you to Trina’s Cakes and Bonnie Cakes who both satisfied my sweet tooth.  You both do make wonderful delicious confections.  To learn more about either of these wonderful ladies visit here: www.trinascakes.com and www.bonniecakes.ca.

And lastly, congratulations to Candice Reid who was won the “Linden Giveaway” , I am very excited to create something beautiful with you soon!  Thank-you to Margaret Salem for the photo!

Until next time,  remember where ever you are make time to smile, to laugh, and be a little silly.  Have fun! You deserve it.
