A. L. B. Instagram - This past August we celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. What can I say? I’m in awe and wonder of her at all times. She’s the best part of my life.

We couldn’t let such a special occasion pass without commemoration. To mark it we wanted to take some lovely photos… but really we love any excuse to get dressed up together!

Let’s keep working hard and do our best! Thank you all for looking after us. We feel your support every day 💗 

These are real film photos- @ishkhanghazarian shot these with the Hasselbald 500 C/M, a fully mechanical medium format film camera from the 1970’s. 
As always, Ishkhan is an absolute pleasure to shoot with and immeasurable talent. He was able to capture exactly the vision we had dreamed of.
My dress was made for me by @shesdynamite (my anniversary present from Niko!) and it’s such a dream. I felt like a slice of cake wearing it and I need to think up about 50 more occasions where I can wear it again! Niko’s jacket and trousers are from @ralphlauren. Our rings are by @anastassiasel. Pearl chain from @vitaly.

A. L. B. Instagram - I found this orange romper on a children’s website and decided to take the gamble in hopes I could fit into it. When it arrived, it was actually several sizes off for me so I took the whole thing apart completely and spent 10 hours altering it to fit properly. I learned a very important lesson from this- which is that I hate sewing and I need to avoid it at all costs 😂

A. L. B. Instagram - my Valentine 💗
Photo by the extremely talented @ishkhanghazarian ✨
A. L. B. Instagram - We lost our Dawn. She was my best friend. I’m grateful I got to hold her while we said goodbye, I promised her I would be there till the end and I got to keep my promise.
I want to tell you about the first time I knew Dawn and I belonged together.
Immigrating to a new country is a difficult and expensive process. When we finally got our approval in 2016 we moved Dawn & May here to Canada first, in November, and Niko was due to follow two months later, in January. We could not afford to spend Christmas together, and since I had the girls I couldn’t travel to go visit family. It was my first Christmas all alone. I think when you spend a major holiday alone you have to make a decision- try to make merry all by yourself, or pretend it’s not happening at all. I went with the latter. 
I ate a regular meal and watched tv. If I could convince myself it was just a regular day I could get through it.
But when midnight came and brought us to the 25th, I found myself sobbing, the kind of cry that makes you think you’re going to explode. Dawn got up and climbed onto my chest, one paw on each of my shoulder blades, staring me right in the face.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry” I said to her. I couldn’t make myself calm down. I had never had a pet before and didn’t want to scare her. But she didn’t move. She stayed with her eyes locked on mine for as long as it took for me to start breathing normally again. Then she settled on my chest and we fell asleep. 
That was almost 6 years ago. And she slept on my chest every single night since.
Dawn was the kind of cat who ran to the door to greet us when we got home. She befriended everyone- the favourite of every maintenance man. If I called her name, she would come running. And if she called for me, I’d get up and come see her no matter what I was doing. My friends would laugh when I would do this but Dawn and I had a mutual understanding- if I need you, please find me.

It’s devastating, and in a weird way it makes complete sense that they would both pass so close to each other. They were adopted together as kittens and had never been apart their entire lives. Where one went, the other would follow. 

I need you, I need you. Please find me.

A. L. B. Instagram - our Maymay passed away yesterday. She got very sick very quickly and we nursed her night and day hoping we could get her through this, but she was ready to go. We held her in our arms as she left. everyone who met her fell in love with her and the grief hangs so heavy.

I’ll never forget the first time I met her. I had flown to New Jersey to stay with Niko a few months after we started dating. We dropped by the house to leave luggage before going out to grab food, and I was sitting at the top of the stairs waiting for Niko to finish up getting ready so we could head out. A small but very round calico cat poked her head out from a bedroom and came out tentatively. I offered my hand and she sniffed it, before eagerly crawling into my lap and purring. I thought to myself, I’m so lucky! How often does a cat cuddle you right after meeting you!
Niko came out and stopped short when she saw us, to the point where I thought something was wrong.
It turns out Maymay was shy, so shy that even at 6 years old when I met her she had never climbed into the lap of another person besides Niko. 
About a year later she and Dawn would take their very long car trip from NJ all the way to Toronto to become little Canadian cats. And we made our family here. She lived to be over 13 years old.
I had never had a pet growing up. Every year I wrote in my letter to Santa that I wanted to have a little pet of my own, I made slide shows and pamphlets trying to convince my parents that I needed a furry friend. I made it into adulthood without one, and although I really loved animals I was completely unprepared to know how much I could love my May. 
She was more than just a cat to us. She was fully integrated into every part of our lives. With two mamas who worked from home, she was always with one of us, in our laps while we were doing a task or trotting behind us inspecting what we were looking at, loudly chiming in with her thoughts.
The winter solstice will always be your day Maymay. And I’ll always love you.

Niko came out and stopped short when she saw us, to the point where I thought something was wrong.
It turns out Maymay was shy, so shy that even at 6 years old when I met her she had never climbed into the lap of another person besides Niko. 
About a year later she and Dawn would take their very long car trip from NJ all the way to Toronto to become little Canadian cats. And we made our family here. She lived to be over 13 years old.
I had never had a pet growing up. Every year I wrote in my letter to Santa that I wanted to have a little pet of my own, I made slide shows and pamphlets trying to convince my parents that I needed a furry friend. I made it into adulthood without one, and although I really loved animals I was completely unprepared to know how much I could love my May. 
She was more than just a cat to us. She was fully integrated into every part of our lives. With two mamas who worked from home, she was always with one of us, in our laps while we were doing a task or trotting behind us inspecting what we were looking at, loudly chiming in with her thoughts.
The winter solstice will always be your day Maymay. And I’ll always love you.
A. L. B. Instagram - our Maymay passed away yesterday. She got very sick very quickly and we nursed her night and day hoping we could get her through this, but she was ready to go. We held her in our arms as she left. everyone who met her fell in love with her and the grief hangs so heavy.

I’ll never forget the first time I met her. I had flown to New Jersey to stay with Niko a few months after we started dating. We dropped by the house to leave luggage before going out to grab food, and I was sitting at the top of the stairs waiting for Niko to finish up getting ready so we could head out.

We woke up at 3am to go take these photos at sunrise with @ishkhanghazarian. It made everything safer (we were literally the only people outside) and the lighting was spectacular! I’ll post more photos soon too 💗 with so much getting cancelled this year I was so grateful we were able to take some fantastic photos to commemorate this milestone. Time flies when you’re having fun! 😋

A. L. B. - 14.6K Likes - This past August we celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. What can I say? I’m in awe and wonder of her at all times. She’s the best part of my life.

We couldn’t let such a special occasion pass without commemoration. To mark it we wanted to take some lovely photos… but really we love any excuse to get dressed up together!

Let’s keep working hard and do our best! Thank you all for looking after us. We feel your support every day 💗 

These are real film photos- @ishkhanghazarian shot these with the Hasselbald 500 C/M, a fully mechanical medium format film camera from the 1970’s. 
As always, Ishkhan is an absolute pleasure to shoot with and immeasurable talent. He was able to capture exactly the vision we had dreamed of.
My dress was made for me by @shesdynamite (my anniversary present from Niko!) and it’s such a dream. I felt like a slice of cake wearing it and I need to think up about 50 more occasions where I can wear it again! Niko’s jacket and trousers are from @ralphlauren. Our rings are by @anastassiasel. Pearl chain from @vitaly.

Caption : This past August we celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. What can I say? I’m in awe and wonder of her at all times. She’s the best part of my life. We couldn’t let such a special occasion pass without commemoration. To mark it we wanted to take some lovely photos… but really we love any excuse to get dressed up together! Let’s keep working hard and do our best! Thank you all for looking after us. We feel your support every day 💗 These are real film photos- @ishkhanghazarian shot these with the Hasselbald 500 C/M, a fully mechanical medium format film camera from the 1970’s. As always, Ishkhan is an absolute pleasure to shoot with and immeasurable talent. He was able to capture exactly the vision we had dreamed of. My dress was made for me by @shesdynamite (my anniversary present from Niko!) and it’s such a dream. I felt like a slice of cake wearing it and I need to think up about 50 more occasions where I can wear it again! Niko’s jacket and trousers are from @ralphlauren. Our rings are by @anastassiasel.

A. L. B. - 13.3K Likes - I found this orange romper on a children’s website and decided to take the gamble in hopes I could fit into it. When it arrived, it was actually several sizes off for me so I took the whole thing apart completely and spent 10 hours altering it to fit properly. I learned a very important lesson from this- which is that I hate sewing and I need to avoid it at all costs 😂

A. L. B. - 12.8K Likes - We lost our Dawn. She was my best friend. I’m grateful I got to hold her while we said goodbye, I promised her I would be there till the end and I got to keep my promise.
I want to tell you about the first time I knew Dawn and I belonged together.
Immigrating to a new country is a difficult and expensive process. When we finally got our approval in 2016 we moved Dawn & May here to Canada first, in November, and Niko was due to follow two months later, in January. We could not afford to spend Christmas together, and since I had the girls I couldn’t travel to go visit family. It was my first Christmas all alone. I think when you spend a major holiday alone you have to make a decision- try to make merry all by yourself, or pretend it’s not happening at all. I went with the latter. 
I ate a regular meal and watched tv. If I could convince myself it was just a regular day I could get through it.
But when midnight came and brought us to the 25th, I found myself sobbing, the kind of cry that makes you think you’re going to explode. Dawn got up and climbed onto my chest, one paw on each of my shoulder blades, staring me right in the face.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry” I said to her. I couldn’t make myself calm down. I had never had a pet before and didn’t want to scare her. But she didn’t move. She stayed with her eyes locked on mine for as long as it took for me to start breathing normally again. Then she settled on my chest and we fell asleep. 
That was almost 6 years ago. And she slept on my chest every single night since.
Dawn was the kind of cat who ran to the door to greet us when we got home. She befriended everyone- the favourite of every maintenance man. If I called her name, she would come running. And if she called for me, I’d get up and come see her no matter what I was doing. My friends would laugh when I would do this but Dawn and I had a mutual understanding- if I need you, please find me.

It’s devastating, and in a weird way it makes complete sense that they would both pass so close to each other. They were adopted together as kittens and had never been apart their entire lives. Where one went, the other would follow. 

I need you, I need you. Please find me.

A. L. B. - 11.1K Likes - our Maymay passed away yesterday. She got very sick very quickly and we nursed her night and day hoping we could get her through this, but she was ready to go. We held her in our arms as she left. everyone who met her fell in love with her and the grief hangs so heavy.

I’ll never forget the first time I met her. I had flown to New Jersey to stay with Niko a few months after we started dating. We dropped by the house to leave luggage before going out to grab food, and I was sitting at the top of the stairs waiting for Niko to finish up getting ready so we could head out. A small but very round calico cat poked her head out from a bedroom and came out tentatively. I offered my hand and she sniffed it, before eagerly crawling into my lap and purring. I thought to myself, I’m so lucky! How often does a cat cuddle you right after meeting you!
Niko came out and stopped short when she saw us, to the point where I thought something was wrong.
It turns out Maymay was shy, so shy that even at 6 years old when I met her she had never climbed into the lap of another person besides Niko. 
About a year later she and Dawn would take their very long car trip from NJ all the way to Toronto to become little Canadian cats. And we made our family here. She lived to be over 13 years old.
I had never had a pet growing up. Every year I wrote in my letter to Santa that I wanted to have a little pet of my own, I made slide shows and pamphlets trying to convince my parents that I needed a furry friend. I made it into adulthood without one, and although I really loved animals I was completely unprepared to know how much I could love my May. 
She was more than just a cat to us. She was fully integrated into every part of our lives. With two mamas who worked from home, she was always with one of us, in our laps while we were doing a task or trotting behind us inspecting what we were looking at, loudly chiming in with her thoughts.
The winter solstice will always be your day Maymay. And I’ll always love you.

Caption : our Maymay passed away yesterday. She got very sick very quickly and we nursed her night and day hoping we could get her through this, but she was ready to go. We held her in our arms as she left. everyone who met her fell in love with her and the grief hangs so heavy. I’ll never forget the first time I met her. I had flown to New Jersey to stay with Niko a few months after we started dating. We dropped by the house to leave luggage before going out to grab food, and I was sitting at the top of the stairs waiting for Niko to finish up getting ready so we could head out. A small but very round calico cat poked her head out from a bedroom and came out tentatively. I offered my hand and she sniffed it, before eagerly crawling into my lap and purring. I thought to myself, I’m so lucky! How often does a cat cuddle you right after meeting you! Niko came out and stopped short when she saw us, to the point where I thought something was wrong. It turns out Maymay was shy, so shy that even at 6 years old when I met her she had never climbed into the lap of another person besides Niko. About a year later she and Dawn would take their very long car trip from NJ all the way to Toronto to become little Canadian cats. And we made our family here. She lived to be over 13 years old.

She was more than just a cat to us. She was fully integrated into every part of our lives. With two mamas who worked from home, she was always with one of us, in our laps while we were doing a task or trotting behind us inspecting what we were looking at, loudly chiming in with her thoughts.
The winter solstice will always be your day Maymay. And I’ll always love you.

Caption : our Maymay passed away yesterday. She got very sick very quickly and we nursed her night and day hoping we could get her through this, but she was ready to go. We held her in our arms as she left. everyone who met her fell in love with her and the grief hangs so heavy. I’ll never forget the first time I met her. I had flown to New Jersey to stay with Niko a few months after we started dating. We dropped by the house to leave luggage before going out to grab food, and I was sitting at the top of the stairs waiting for Niko to finish up getting ready so we could head out. A small but very round calico cat poked her head out from a bedroom and came out tentatively. I offered my hand and she sniffed it, before eagerly crawling into my lap and purring. I thought to myself, I’m so lucky! How often does a cat cuddle you right after meeting you! Niko came out and stopped short when she saw us, to the point where I thought something was wrong. It turns out Maymay was shy, so shy that even at 6 years old when I met her she had never climbed into the lap of another person besides Niko. About a year later she and Dawn would take their very long car trip from NJ all the way to Toronto to become little Canadian cats. And we made our family here. She lived to be over 13 years old. I had never had a pet growing up.
