PHOTO OF THE WEEK #47 - A Brief Stop

The weather on the May long weekend was fantastic! It definitely was a great weekend for camping. :)

I wonder what they were looking at down there????

Thanks for looking! :)

PHOTO OF THE WEEK #46 - Fresh Fiddleheads

I'm looking at food photography in a new way after the CreativeLIVE workshop with Penny De Los Santos.

There are many things I wish I would have done better in making this image (the most obvious one being that it isn't sharp), but with deciding at the last minute to photograph them before hubby could gobble them up, I got what I got and it was exciting! :)

Thanks for looking! :)

PHOTO OF THE WEEK #45 - New and Beautiful

Last weekend, I discovered this in the backyard. You can still see a mix of the old with the new, but it was beautiful.

I love when the yard starts to explode with new life and colour! :)

Thanks for looking.

PHOTO OF THE WEEK #44 - First Time In Goal

Ben's second ball hockey game ever was last weekend. Of course, he had to volunteer to be goalie.

I love my little guy. But honestly.....he's no goalie. He's more of a defenceman, based on his soccer experiences in the Winter. But....he's 7 and he thinks he can do anything.

The end result was that he let in 3 goals and absolutely hated it. The pads kept turning sideways, he didn't like the stick and the gloves were very uncomfortable. And.....he hated letting the goals in. But considering he's never played goalie before and doesn't even watch hockey on TV to know how it's done, he did alright. :)

I'm glad he gave it a try and even more so that he stuck it out, even though he hated it. But I assure you.....he won't be volunteering to be goalie again this season. LOL

Thanks for looking!

PHOTO OF THE WEEK #43: Those Colourful Eggs

I was almost asleep when I realized I hadn't posted my Photo of the Week from last week and this week is almost over! I've never missed posting before and this is the closest I've ever come to being late!!

Last week included Easter weekend. I worked most of the weekend, but did take some time out to make sure that the eggs were appropriately splashed with their beautiful colours.

Thanks for looking! :)

CLIENT SHOOTS: A Custom Story Book Session for Campbell :)

It turned out to be such a beautiful day for Campbell's 2nd birthday party. :)

The kids were so cute and were having so much fun. Oh to be little again with nothing to worry about except which way to slide down the slide.

The images from Campbell's birthday party are being turned into a custom story book. I LOVE working on custom story books. They are so much fun to put together.

Here are some of the images from his awesome birthday party!

Thanks for looking! :)

CLIENT SHOOTS: Meet Ken

One of the great things about my job is that I get to meet a lot of new people. I had the opportunity to meet someone new earlier this week.

Ken came to my home studio for a Professional Headshot session. :)

Here's a sneak peak from his session.

It was so great to meet you, Ken. I hope you like your sneak peak.

Thanks for looking!

PHOTO OF THE WEEK #42: Moose

Last weekend was the third year I've made a trip to Algonquin Park to try and get a peek at a moose. And what a great trip it was! I'm hoping to get the blog post done this week with a few more photos from the trip. In the meantime, my photo of the week from a week ago is of one of the Moose we saw.

Thanks for looking!

PHOTO OF THE WEEK #41 - Birch Tree

I was so busy last week editing images that I barely took any new ones! Thankfully I started doing this thing on my Facebook Page where a few of us are sharing 2-4 images that we take each weekend, otherwise, I may have forgotten to taken any pictures at all! I love seeing what other people are taking pictures of, whether it be professionally or just personally, for fun, with the family, etc. Now that the weather is getting nicer, I'm hoping more people will be inspired to get their cameras out and share an image or two with us each week :)

So this isn't the most exciting image I've ever taken, but it was taken last week and it is of one of my favourite trees. I love birch trees. The texture of their bark is so beautiful. Our property is mostly filled with pine trees, so I really enjoy the few birch trees we do have. This particular tree gets featured in many of the outdoor sessions I do on our property. (I love my outdoor studio!) :)

Thanks for looking! :)

Now I have to get back to my Quickbooks.....Oh how I would much rather be taking pretty pictures ;)

PHOTO OF THE WEEK #40 - So Precious

I took so many photos last week of so many amazing subjects, it's been really difficult to decide which one to choose for my 'Photo of the Week'.

I know you've seen this one before when I did the sneak peak blog post for them, but I really love this one. She looks so peaceful and so stylish at the same time! haha :) Definitely my favourite.

Thanks for looking!
