Coal and Canary is ready to fly

I love that Winnipeg is full of creative entrepreneurs. The other beauty about it is that when something local gets started, our very supportive Peg city folks normally like to give a new, more public emergence the benefit of the doubt. We help it hit the ground running & these ideas & new local features get their chance to fly.

I expect for Coal and Canary’s handmade & delectable sounding candles, there will be soaring.

With names such as “gimmie some sugar’, ‘the cider made me do it’ & ‘chunky knit sweater’, these seasonally titled wax jars of joy make me excited to light my first one & burn it until they (hopefully) surprise us with their next weather inspired scents! In the meantime this one below may help me curb the upcoming & always dreaded holiday padding….by that I mean pounds. Our winters are very cold & we need a little extra to survive…right?

Visit their site to learn more about the products and the creators, Tom & Amanda. The name already has a hint of wings to it. It just needs the lift. Of course all of these wonderful photos by Brittany Mahood Photography help show the elegant sweetness of the candles too.

3 different types of love

Every wedding has a different style, but the way that they are photographed also effects the memories. Soft and delicate, natural and clear or lightened and hazed, the list is endless. Here are a few of my favourite ones right now.

Capturing “THE” Moment

 It is not easy….

I personally would love to think that I am quite the fancy photographer with my iPhone and filtering apps. My sweetheart of course tells me that I am fabulous when it comes to freezing lasting memories in time.

He also thinks its cute when I fall over furniture when I am not looking where I am going.


 A local photographer who I have found myself to be loving online lately and professionally knocks the heels off of any of us ‘self proclaimed amazing iPhone picture takers” is Lisa of LBK photography

 One of main photos that caught my eye for its crisp beauty, yet whimsical feel was a floral crown shoot that was featured in the Wedding Bells Magazine ~ http://www.weddingbells.ca

The crowns were hand made by Alysha Murdoch of Everly Willow Floral Crowns. Lisa was able to contain so much vibrant sweetness in these photos it makes me want to wear one right now. The colours pop right off the screen and the clarity makes you believe you should almost be able to smell those delicate buds.

Capturing beauty in everything seems to come easily to Lisa as she not only does wedding, but maternity, commercial, family, locations and more….

…and in person, she is a sweetheart!!!!

A little that Lisa shares about herself is:

“I am a fashion and wedding photographer with a passion for beauty and originality. As a sketch & makeup artist, my experience with expression and detail has developed into my photojournalistic, honest approach to portrait photography. My style is focused on feeling relaxed, having fun and revealing the natural you.”
