"And we can choose to be afraid or we can choose to live.
And I choose to live" 
These words come from a blog I faithfully read everyday.  www.kellehampton.com
She is a mother, photographer and an amazing writer.   
...And she makes me tear up allll the time.  They are happy tears....but still, she knows how to bring emotion out of me.  The good emotion.  The kind that makes you feel human.  The kind that makes you feel like you can do anything. I love the feeling of being. Just being.  
On these rainy days... I step outside my door to take it alllll in.   

Think Pink

I'm pretty excited to get out there and plant some color in the flower beds. It's time to think pink this year.

FAQ

So people often ask me how I get kids to sit still for a photo.
It's all about acting goofy and keeping the child's attention.  You'll certainly find me with a good ol'harmonica in my mouth and a rattle in hand (Camera in other hand)...lol
I bring multitasking to a whole new level.
:-)

 

Girls Night

It's Wednesday night.
The night before the premier of Sex and The City 2.
What better way to celebrate then hangin' with your gal pal,  peanut butter frozen yogurt and a chick flick.

New Look

There is always a level of comfort with using a certain image.... but I'm a women of "change" and I like to keep things fresh.  My new face for the next few months is cutie patootie Josie all the way from BC!
If you would like to see your cutie patootie as my new face... be sure to book your summer session.  I'll be posting some specials soon!

Trees Of Life

I'm pretty sure one of god's coolest creations would be a tree. When I think about trees...I think about the many shades of green.  I think about how they reach for the sky.  I think about how we can all learn from trees. Most of all I think about how much they have seen, even though they stay in one spot forever.
Trees are simply amazing. Amazingly simple.

The Duck

Every child has a "thing".....
This little one loves her ducky.
He goes all the places she does.
The duck has seen better days.... but its nothing the wash couldn't fix.  :-)

Summer

It's here.  Summer. (Although the weather man is forecasting snow??)  lol
Nonetheless, summer is the best time in Saskatchewan.  Everything is green, warm and there is LOTS to look forward to in the next couple of months!
Here are a few of my favorite things about summer:
*Going for walks and smelling other people bbq'ing up a storm!
*Morning sun and evening sunsets
*Road trips up to the lake
*Tank tops and cute sandals
*Outdoor photo shoots
*Pool parties (Thank goodness for a pool in the family!)
*Painted toenails
*Shade on a hot hot hot day
*Summer freckles
*Evening walks
*Fresh air after a solid rain
*Flowers & hanging baskets
*The first sight of perennials
*Outdoor activities!
*Sand between my toes
*Trips to the Double Decker Bus
*Farmers market
...the list could go on and on!  Enjoy all the things YOU love about summer.  :-)

Gorgeous Girl

Beauty comes within.... and this face has beauty inside and out.

Calsask Granite

Thinking about Granite??  I know I am.
Calsask Granite on 811 Circle Drive East. This is the place if you need granite counter tops!

Eight Is Great

I still remember the day she was born.
The utter excitement.
The pure joy.
....And the anticipation of seeing new life.
May 18th, she turned 8.  My little niece Hannah is growing up every single day and when look at her, I see wisdom, beauty and intelligence.

6 months

Babies are innocent, sweet... precious.  The 6 month stage is such a wonderful time.  I am sure mothers always wish their babies could stay "little"...a little longer. ;-)

Cupcake Cuties

Cupcakes taste better when they are shared together.

I Need These

..... YES... I really do need these shoes!
They happen to go perfect with a certain dress that I will be "wearing" when I marry my man. Although there isn't a set "date" yet... a girl can never be to prepared!
I bought my "wedding dress" about 5-ish years ago.  I was single at the time but I saw this vintage dress in a dress shop and realized when the day comes, this will be perfect to wear.  I still have that dress today and I'll still be wearing it when I get married.  Needless to say...these shoes will go perfect with it! (...And NO the dress isn't blue!) (...And YES...these are the same shoes Carrie married BIG in!)

I'm back in BIZ!

So the week before last, my lap top crashed. It was a sad sad day and a day that I never wanted to even think of having.  That sinking feeling of..."Did I back up everything??"... And the answer is YES.  Still.... I hated the thought of sending my computer away.  It was like a piece of me went missing!  Silly I know.  ;-)
I pretty much rely on my computer for everything. EVERYthing. ... and without one, I am LOST.  I managed to get a little far behind in my editing.  If you are waiting for images.... I will hopefully be caught up by end of next week.  Thanks for waiting!

I wanted to post an image of these sisters...  They are cute cute and more cute.  You can't pay for red hair like this.  Its amazing.

New In Town

The new BMW 5 Series.  I headed out for this event last week and had the chance to shoot some candids for Fine Lifestyles.
Events are one of my favorite things to photograph!  I get to be a sneaky camera girl.  lol
