JEN AND PACO – THE QUESTION…(photos by ewan)

Thursday, September 2, 2010 Posted in Ewan Phelan, The Question

They met in grade 9. Paco couldn’t figure out how to talk to the pretty girl in his Science class, so he did the only thing he could think of. He asked for help with his homework. Not that he really needed it. Actually he was really strong in the subject. But he pretended that he didn’t understand their homework just so he could talk to Jen. And she obliged. After all, he was pretty cute.

Being a cautious 14 year old, Jen kept her guard up. She wasn’t quite sure about the boy in her Science class. And didn’t want to get her heart broken. But Paco persisted. Insisted. And somehow Jen found herself at the semi-formal dance. Wrapped in his arms as they slow danced. Swaying back and forth to the music. Their first date.

After the night of dancing, Jen still wasn’t 100% sure. Because after all, being a teenager doesn’t come with a manual. She thought and thought. And wondered and wondered. Was he really the one? Then on Valentine’s Day Paco brought her a teddy bear and chocolates. And fully won her heart. She could no longer deny that the cute boy in her Science class was someone special. The one. Even though they were only 14 they both knew it was the perfect fit.

Jenn Stark - I absolutely love this set! They look like so much fun :) The one where she is side-lit is one of my favourites, as is the one of them lying on the grass. Well done!

MONIKA AND BABAK (AND MATEO) – THE LIFE…(photos by ewan)

Monday, August 30, 2010 Posted in Ewan Phelan, The Life

I was never a curvy girl growing up. When I wore dresses I looked like a pre-pubescent boy wearing a paper sack. Jeans hung around my hips and didn’t cling anywhere near where they were supposed to. I was an awkward kid. An awkward teenager. And never quite fit into my body. Until I was pregnant for the first time. It was only then that I really felt like I fit into my body.

I finally had curves. I couldn’t help but love my giant belly and wore clothes that finally showed I had something other than elbows and hip bones sticking out of my body. In those months I felt so beautiful. Elegant. Graceful. Glowing. I don’t even have the proper words to describe it. But I felt beautiful.

There’s something so perfect about an expecting mother. Especially a first time mom. There’s a look of excitement in her eyes. Mixed with a little bit of fear. Dreams racing through her head. Wondering if the baby is a boy or girl. Blonde hair or brown. Blue eyes or green. Long fingers or stubby little toes. A million thoughts of maybes, what ifs and I can’t waits.

Monika was one of the beautiful moms-to-be we’ve ever met. We didn’t think she couldn’t possibly glow any more. Until we saw her for the first time with her son, Mateo. There was nothing but pure, total and complete love in her eyes. That little guy is her world. And she openly wears her heart on her sleeve. It made me smile to see Monika’s belly remembering my own. And that feeling of holding our babies in our arms for the very first time. It was those moments that made me realize why I had never felt quite right in my body when I was younger. It wasn’t until I was a mother that I was truly complete.

RACHAEL AND CHUCK – THE QUESTION…(photos by ewan)

Friday, August 27, 2010 Posted in Ewan Phelan, The Question

She had a strict policy. Rachael was adamant that she would never move in with a guy unless there was a commitment. Unless there was a ring on her finger. And unless it was forever. Chuck, on the other hand, couldn’t wait to fall asleep every night next to Rachael. Wake up every morning with his arms wrapped around her. To reach over and pull her closer. And to see the first smile of the day break across her face. They both knew they loved each other. Madly. Deeply. Purely. Rachael was just an old fashioned girl.

Chuck knew that he wanted to marry her. And couldn’t imagine spending a single day without her. Rachael knew that she was ready to move in with Chuck, but kept insisting that she always wanted to wait until she was engaged. One day Chuck looked at Rachael and said : “just jump in, I’ll catch you” and before she knew it they were packing their bags and moving in together. Meanwhile, this was all part of Chuck’s big plan.

So the big moving day came. And so did all of Chuck’s over-sized furniture. Needing to find space for all of the big couches and chairs, they set out to painting the basement : the man-room. Rachael tossed a load of laundry in the washing machine quickly and came back to painting. Chuck started saying the sweetest things she’d ever heard. The kind of things that make a girl blush. And feel full of butterflies inside. Just as Chuck was about to ask the important question, the washing machine started to shake. And rock. And shooting water everywhere. Rachael tried to stop it, but it was too late. Covered in paint, bubbles and dirty water, Rachael went back to where Chuck was standing. She started to say something about ‘this is so us’ and just started laughing. Chuck picked up right where he left off and told the painted/bubbly/dirty mess of his girlfriend that he couldn’t live without her. That he didn’t want to live together unless they were engaged either. And asked Rachael to marry him.

She had a strict policy. Rachael wasn’t going to live with someone until she was engaged. Now there, amongst the bubbles, the over-sized furniture and the paint, Chuck made her wish come true. Instead of moving in together as boyfriend and girlfriend, they were moving in together engaged. And next month they’ll get to wake up together in their home as even more than that. As husband and wife.
