Wipe my nose, get my new boots on…. http://b2photography.ca/blog/2012/01/snow-can-wait-i-forgot-my-mittens-wipe-my-nose-get-my-new-boots-on/ http://b2photography.ca/blog/2012/01/snow-can-wait-i-forgot-my-mittens-wipe-my-nose-get-my-new-boots-on/#comments Sat, 28 Jan 2012 16:09:41 +0000 Becky http://b2photography.ca/blog/?p=5929 Sometimes you plan a session in your mind and then it turns out completely different when it’s show time.  Chantel and I brainstormed for an indoor spot for Jordyn’s four-year pictures because we were sure the beginning of January would be too friggid to be outside for any period of time.  We were wrong.  Chantel put her order in for the weather and a nice mild day greeted us when we arrived for the shoot!  We met at The Park Cafe inside the Qualico Family Centre at the Assiniboine Park enjoyed some hot chocolate, a few pages from Pinkalicious and some photos inside.  Then we bundled up and head outside for some photos of Jordyn and her sled (well actually Jack and Ruby’s sled…but don’t tell them!). The winter photos of Jordyn in her red toque and jacket are some of my favourite winter photos!  I had so much fun capturing Jordyn as she explored the forrest and spied for bunnies and squirrels!

Jordyn steals my heart again and again after each shoot I have with her, this lil lady has the personality to go along with the smiles and giggles you see in these photos!  Sometimes I have a hard time trying to pick which photos of Jordyn to blog because there are always so many with giggles, but there is also something so sweet and innocent about the photos of her when she’s a little bit more serious….those big brown eyes are just so perfect!

I just adore those curly pig-tails!

A little girl and her sled…

Lately i’m lovin’ pics of kids laughing so hard their eyes close!

“Look in here mom!”

“This way!!!”

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!

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!

  • 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!

How much do you love his hair?  Those perfect little fly away spikes….he is just too cool for school!

  • 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!!
