Birthday Adventures

FILM! 

I get so excited about it every time. We've had a bit of a busy last while, hence the reason these pictures are from March haha oops. BUT this was a milestone for me as I was really happy that I remembered some of the tips my sister taught me (check her out here: Carrie Lynn Unger Photography) #shamelessadvertising .. and applied them. Most of these pictures actually turned out how I was imagining they would! ACK! personal win! ha 

We had a full 2 day, 1 night weekend together in March for both of our birthdays. My birthday is in December so we were a bit late but I mean, twin babies. That's always why. ha It was thee perfect weekend; we each planned a day for the other and we hit the nail on the head. We actually ended up both planning surprise drinks with all of her friends (they're also my precious winnipeg friends hehe) for each night for each other LOL they kept both secrets well and were good sports with spending both evenings with us haha it was a blast :) 

here is our adventure

Breakfast  

quick photoshoot on top of the hotel - cost us another $2 in parking haha worth it.

I conquered a lot of fears to get here; elevators, heights & parkades. It was a rough few minutes man

hotel view - we were blessed with a free night :') it was magical.

a morning swim

tattoo: a jack pine that I drew from the street we grew up on together. I have the same one on my arm <3

tattoo: perfect love casts out all fear 

supper

I took her to this stunning greenhouse (thanks to a friend for the suggestion)

I wish I didn't kill plants :'( I want them all.

We took a look at Pepo Ceramics and lot.15 <3

PERSONAL FAVES - I MEAN, LOOK AT THE GOLD

and finally got a tour of our cousin's business! He creates and hand makes beautiful clothing: Commonwealth Mfg
