The Bodegas

 Two very handsome men by the names of Gorden and Chad are (drum roll, please!)......The Bodegas!

 I met Chad the day of this shoot and found him like able immediately. He is so warm and friendly and that smile! Infectious!! I feel like we will be friends forever.

Gord (as I have always known him) and I go way back. Way, w-a-y back. He used to come in to my work just about every night and buy his wonderful girlfriend, Yvonne, a scratch ticket. Yvonne, actually worked at a pub where I frequented from time to time (ha!) so I actually got to know the two of them quite well. They ended up having to move away and left me an envelope enclosed with a wedding photo, a beautiful note (which I still have) and some scratch tickets!!!

We had made an amazing connection and I was sad to see them go.

Lo and behold a few years later...here is Gord..buying a lottery ticket! I think I said something like "Hey!! Your back!!" and I do believe he was shocked and replied something like "You remember me??"

A little while after that, I got engaged and found out that Gord can sing AND play guitar! Lucky me, I was the very first wedding he sang at and 3 out of 4 songs Gord sang, were his originals.

Gord is such a super guy. His energy, positivity and drive make you want to be around him 24 hours a day, 7 days a week....he makes you not need coffee!

Not only are The Bodegas good looking but they are an amazing band!! I am so serious...you HAVE to hear them!!

This makes me giggle!

Gorden James....



Chad...

Can you tell who's shoes are who's??



You guys rock!! Literally!

Thanks so much, Bodegas!

The Deb Stone Band

Deb and I have worked together for....numerous years. She is one of those people that you cannot help but like! She is so friendly and outgoing and has the best sense of humour! She always has a joke ready and I have never heard the same one twice from her. As we were starting this shoot she was, yes you guessed it, telling another joke.

The Deb Stone Band consists of six members. Ed on keyboards, Jim on lead guitar, Ryan on bass (who is the very newest member and so new, he is not in the pics yet!), Janice on vocals, (can i say "on vocals"???) Yvonne on drums, (yes i said drums...that is so hot!!) and last but not least, Deb who is the lead singer.

This group was a pleasure to shoot. They were relaxed, easy going and so much fun!

This was a welcome challenge for me and to all of you in The Deb Stone Band, I thank you!

Having a little fun....

And...a little more fun.

I saved the very best for last. My favorite!!

The Deb Stone Band is hosting a gig at the Kelowna Community Center on Friday May 20th 2011. Tickets are $10 each and you can purchase those either at the door or by contacting Deb at: dsb2010@hotmail.ca.

Let's have a fun night out! Families welcome!
