MISCELLANEOUS - Happy New Year

CLIENT SHOOTS: Decorating with Mrs. Claus

It's getting close to the Christmas season once again and that means the Women's Christmas Showcase of South Simcoe is coming up!  I'll be there again, along with Mrs. Claus (aka Shelley Barlow), Ginette Stone and Benjamin Piellusch, taking photos with Mrs. Claus for donations to "My Sister's Place" in Alliston.  The minimum donation is $5.

Here is a copy of the show poster.  I hope to see some of you there on November 28th!

I had the pleasure of spending some time with Mrs. Claus this week, doing our pre-show photo shoot.  This year, I found her decorating the Christmas tree.  So many decisions to make when decorating the tree.  What ornaments to use, what should take the special place at the top of the tree.

One thing there was no question about, and that was her favourite ornament.  Can you see it?  It's Frosty the Snowman.  He's very cute.  :)

I can't wait until it's show time!  :)  I hope to see you there.

Thanks for looking!

PHOTO OF THE WEEK #10 - Comfort from a friend

Whenever Ben isn't feeling well, Maggie is right there with him.  She does wait until we put a blanket on the couch before she jumps up though.  ;)

For week 10, it was a toss up between this photo and one of Ben sitting at the hair salon getting his highlights.  I figured this one was a safer one to post.  heehee  Plus....you can see his highlights in this photo too.  But the one with him sitting under the hair dryer is pretty priceless.  LOL

Thanks for looking!

PHOTO OF THE WEEK #9 - Fun on the lake!

I'm still catching up with posting my Photos of the week.  I like that I'm still in August since this morning it was quite chilly outside.  (-5 celcius first thing with a wind chill of -8....or some crazy thing like that).

We have an annual event up at a friend's cottage in Gravenhurst.  Ben always LOVES going there because he gets to ride in a fast boat, be flung around in a tube behind the boat, swim, float, etc. etc. etc. This year there was a new activity to try out.  He didn't even fall off!

Thanks to everyone who was there that weekend for all the fun times and great memories.  :)

Thanks for looking!

PHOTO OF THE WEEK #8 - All Star Game

Since the weather wasn't the greatest during the Help The Kids Ball Tournament in July, the two Leagues decided to play the cancelled All-Star game during a tournament in August.

It was a great game as always, between the Tottenham Old Timers and the Men's League.

Here is a shot showing some of the close action that fans were fortunate enough to witness.  :)

Thanks for looking!

PHOTO OF THE WEEK #7 - Harvest Share Box

This is our second year getting the Harvest Share Box from Carron Farms.  I take a picture of the box every week.  My intention is to do one blog post with all of the pictures.  It's 20 weeks of produce boxes though....that would be a big post.  haha  We'll see.  I might pick and choose my favourite weeks.

This was a yummy box!  :)

Thanks for looking!

PERSONAL - First Day of School!

I can't believe how fast the summer went by this year.  I need more time!  And I'm so behind with blog posts and newsletters.

Since today marks the first day of school, I'm planning on getting back into some sort of routine again so I can catch up with posting photos of the week, client sessions and newsletters.  I have so much I want to do in the next few months!  Let's get at it!! :)

But for now, I will enjoy this first day of school.  No yelling or funny noises while he's playing his video games.  Nobody to forget to feed during the day and nobody complaining about having to take the dog for a walk in the afternoon.

It's amazing how much difference a year makes.  Here is his first day of school from last year....

Thanks for looking and I hope everyone has a safe and fun first day of school!
