My Magnificent Photographer Friends

Okay, here are the long awaited pictures from our Photography weekend... I'm sorry they are so late but you probably all know that's me by now (hehehe)... I figured if I don't get them up here before my little man arrives, then it's going to be at least another month and then I'll really be in trouble! (hehehe)

First up is my ever so talented photography mentor, Hope - she has so many stories and so much knowledge to impart so for her the only word that would suit is "Wise"...

Next up is Heather... to me she epitomizes the word "Bubbly" - she's always laughing and smiling - You could never tell that she was in excruciating pain all weekend because she just kept smiling and laughing along with the rest of us and I love that about her...

Amber... the images that she got SOOC amazed me... I am soooo in awe and wish to be that creative someday... and so, the only word that fit was "Creative"...

My friend Christine... all I can say is that she inspires me... the life that she has lived and how she has come out on top and worked so hard to get there keeps me going and helps me to remember that I can do it too... so to me, she is "Inspiring"...

Amy... she always has this huge grin on her face and just makes me want to smile every time I see her... she is so upbeat and always on the go so for her, the word I chose was "Jubilant"...

And last but not least, Lisa! We got to drive down to the retreat together and it was the MOST FUN I've had in a long time. We got lost... several times... but laughed all the way. For her, the word I thought of first was "Mom" and that encompasses so many things so I had to be more specific... She is such a dedicated and caring person. You can tell she really feels for you when you are talking to her and you KNOW that she cares... so for my beautiful blue eyed Lisa, your word is "Compassionate"...

Why I Relay...

I had the privilege of attending the Relay for Life in Edmonton again this year as one of the official photographers for the Canadian Cancer Society. I started doing this last year with my friend, Hope, and every year, there is a beautiful sight to behold in the "Survivor Lap" that starts each relay and reminds me of why I'm there and why everyone else there is fighting for a cure for cancer. Here is this years winning moment for me:



This woman came around the track in the Survivor Lap and just in front of me around the track were her two daughters (I believe) waiting for her and cheering her on. She called them to come out and they walked hand in hand and I captured this beautiful photo of them. It was so wonderful to see this beautiful inspiring woman on the track and her children at her side, celebrating life and working for a cure together. I hope that they do find a cure in my lifetime, not only for my family, but for all the families out there so that we all can share a beautiful survivor moment like this one with our children someday.

My first indoor maternity shoot!

Hi all,

I had my first maternity shoot indoors and I was really able to play around a bit and try tons of different things. We had a blast! They were both really fun to work with and I think it went fairly well looking at the final result.
