By age 11, I have already picked all the 6 names for the 6 kids I would have. I would also adopt a few more so I had a few more names picked as well.

Today, I am a mother. Because of my twins, I became what I always wanted to be: a mother. And for that, I am forever grateful. I am grateful for my twins, who are my life, and for the better person I became because of them.

My babies, my muses, my loves.

THANK YOU for being in my life and for being the most amazing little persons.

I love you, I love you  I. LOVE. YOU. I am so proud to be your momma.

And the reason why I always wanted (so badly you have no idea) to become a mother… my mother.

Belle Meinerz PhotographyMom, I love you to the moon and back. THANK YOU for being who you are and for loving me for who I am. Thank you for your unconditional love, for always being there for me, supporting me, encouraging me, believing in me.

And to all my wonderful clients, wonderful moms themselves, wishing you a very Happy Mother’s Day.

I put together a slideshow for you all… still trying to figure out how to center it on the blog, but oh well…

Just click on the arrow below, be sure to bump up your computer volume and… enjoy!

PS1: Pardon the pixelated photo of my son above, I couldn’t find the original file on my gazillions EHDs, so I settled with a small file off from flickr. I just love this photo so much and it was taken on a day that brings me fond memories of a very special moment in my life.

PS2: photo of me & my twins courtesy of beloved hubby. Love you, hun!

They mostly wanted to document the fact that their family & friends, coming from out of town and overseas would be all together to celebrate their love. How sweet is that? So my job was to capture those candid moments (my favorites!) and have fun along the way — and I can honestly say I am *very* pleased with the images we got!
The ceremony was beautiful, simple yet elegant and so much fun! And they couldn’t have picked a better day (such a gorgeous warm day) and a better location, the Brew Creek Lodge in Whistler. Just beautiful.
Thank you F & K for this wonderful day! I wish you both all the best!

Here are a few images from their day:
