To me January sometimes feels like time slows down a bit, the Christmas rush is over and now we just have to make it through a few more months of winter.  This year has been a little bit different…January has been kickin’!  I’ve got some big projects that i’m working on and lots of fun shooting!  Here’s a few that are coming to the blog….soon!

I can’t show you too much of this last one just yet…but if you’ve been coming to the blog for a while i’m sure you can guess who these little Chucks belong too :) You’ll have to wait for LOVE day for the rest of this one!

  • I’m so addicted to Bath & Body Works lip gloss…love this stuff!  I have at least one tube that lives in every purse!
  • The hubs and I taking a tour to check out the progress on the new homestead.
  • Had a LOVELY coffee shop chat with some talented photographers, I love any excuse to have a chat over a London Fog.
  • Cookies!  Made with love by the mom of my “models” for a special shoot I had on Saturday.  They were SO yummy!
Here’s to another great week!

When we started planning this session we just knew it had to be an outside session,  Jen and Phil love the outdoors and it’s not often we get nice mild temperatures in early January!  We couldn’t let it go to waste!  As the day started approaching I was a little worried the session would look like a November session and not a January session because we had very little snow…and with the temperatures that week jumping above zero I was sure any snow that was left would be gone for the shoot!  But we lucked out and the day before the shoot the city got sprinkled with a gorgeous thick layer of snow!  AND the temperatures stayed mild…WIN!

Jen and I go waaaay back.  Way back to the early days in Winkler when I was just a rink rat watching the older figure skaters from behind the glass at the Winkler arena just dreaming of the day I would be out there with them.  Jen’s lucky I haven’t made it to my parents house between this blog post and then because I might have been tempted to scan some old pictures just to prove that we knew each other way back when!  I love how photography has allowed me to reconnect with old friends and watch them take oh. so. exciting steps in their lives.  Jen and Phil are expecting their first lil babe very soon and I can’t wait to meet him or her!

Enjoy these photos from our very lovely winter day!

It’s no secret that Beverly Hills 90210 has been monopolizing the TV at my house lately, thanks to Netflix.  My husband LOVES it, and by love I really mean he’s threatening to take Netflix away from me if I keep watching it so much, especially the other day after I called him Dylan.  I kid, I kid!  In the spirit of 90210 today Web Wednesday combines BH90210 with my favourite website ever…Wikipedia :)

I’ve been known to watch TV with my iPad always nearby so I can check out “hey, what’s that guy from?” or “I wonder if this girl has done anything since this show” a quick check on Wikipedia or IMDB and I have my answer.  Last week while Googling Jack McKay (aka, Roman Brady – Days of Our Lives & Michael Hogan – The Hogan Family) I came across this little gem.  Check it out for ALL your BH 90210, Melrose Place and (new)90210 trivia!

    I got completely addicted to the new 90210 on Netflix, and now that I somehow watched all 80 episodes (in an embarrassingly short timeframe), I am going to move onto the original!

  • How many different kinds of KD does the world need?  Just give me the original!!
  • Fridges, fridges, fridges!  I’ve never been good with decisions so I guess it’s time to learn!
  • This main event on Netflix this week was the downfall of Dylan McKay…it was hearbreaking!
  • Ooooh an Etsy order in the mail this week!  You’ll have to wait to find out was in there, the only clue i’ll give you is that it’s for a special shoot with three special little girls!
Here’s to another great week!

    Have you ever tried that “healthy” kraft dinner? Where the noodles are made with vegetables? Don’t bother, its not good.

So i’ve finally made it to the last shoot I have to blog from 2011!  I went to visit Cooper on New Years Eve and he was ready to party and sure did not want to sleep….until his dad brought him to his favourite comfy spot and then there was no stopping those eyes from falling into sleep! How much do you love his hair?  Those perfect little fly away spikes….he is just too cool for school!

Since I’ve become an iPhone owner i’ve pretty much neglected to bring a “real” camera anywhere, with my iPhone it’s just so easy…the pictures magically show up on my computer through Photo Stream without even downloading them and it’s easy peasy to upload them to Facebook right from the phone.  I’m also addicted to Instagram!  I love it!  So with all these random photos sitting in my iPhone I figured this would be a fun way to give you a glimpse into my week :)

  • It’s a well known fact at my office that I am a.) afraid of dogs and b.) don’t like dogs….and well, my friends almost all have dogs and all bug me about them.  I didn’t even notice this photo pop up on the locker in my cube until my friend Lindsay pointed it out….everyone said “isn’t it cute??” I said “I like that is had my logo on it”.
  • Windows!  Our home-to-be got windows this week!
  • Spent a bunch of lunch hours this week reading the Jasmine Star Exposed magazine…this woman is my photo hero!
  • Out for a walk to scope out all my spots for Jen and Phil’s Baby Bump shoot!  It was faaaaabulous!  Can’t wait to show it off on the blog!
Here’s to another great week!!

    You just can’t argue with that kind of cuteness.

After a week of blog maintenance and a week of holidays it’s time to get back into Web Wednesdays!

A few years back a friend tipped me off on The Big Picture and it’s been on my Bookmarks ever since!  The website is run by the photo editors at The Boston Globe and features amazing photography covering current events.  The pictures are amazing and the stories they tell are equally amazing!  To get you started on The Big Picture here are a few of my favorite posts over the years:

Cavell celebrated her birthday just before Christmas last year (that feels weird to type!) and we headed to the Millennium Library for the last B2 session of the year!  This little sweetie was so happy during the shoot and some of these giggles are thanks to the great help of her grandma who was over my shoulder dancing, singing, making faces….basically anything that would help to get a laugh out of Cavell!

In honour of turning the big ONE we hauled along some balloons and let Cavell play with them on the gorgeous staircase at the library…the sun was shining in all the gorgeous windows and it made for some gorgeous pictures!  Enjoy!!

I had the pleasure of shooting little Brynn and Adelynn before the holidays to mark their first year!  These two little ladies both have such different personalities but something they have in common is that they are oh.so.sweet!  Brynn was so playful during the shoot, totally working the camera!  Sometimes she would turn her back to the camera and then sneak a peak over her shoulder and show me those gorgeous blue eyes and a smile. Adelynn was also pretty smiley….in fact all it took to get her to show us her adorable was her mom counting 1…2…3!!! And she would burst into a fit of giggles!  I loved how when Adelynn got excited she would clap and clasp her hands in front of her…so cute!

What a cute way to start the new year on the blog!!! Happy 2012!!!

I think this picture is so cute!  We were probably all clapping and talking in silly voices to her and she probably closed her eyes so she didn’t have to look at us ;)

 Those eyes….get me every time!
