This weekend is back to shooting for me, back to shooting after a 4 week break, back to editing and blogging after break from that too. It felt great and it was so needed after going non-stop for so long. I thought I would have some profound blog post to write after my break but….I don’t. I spent most of the time cleaning the house, packing, organizing and watching waaaay too much Dawson’s Creek so the only things I have to report back are: my house is clean! And Pacey and Joey were SO meant to be together.
All it took to get me itching to pick up the camera again was a conversation I had with a client last weekend. I made a stop to drop some albums and the conversation turned to a summer shoot, a summer shoot in a lavender field she was planting, the wardrobe, the props….that was all I needed, I was inspired and ready to get back to work! Summer is just around the corner and my mind is now bursting full of ideas of summer fun shoots! Time to pick up the paint brush and paint my new chairs so I have everything all ready to go for my fabulous clients this summer!
Even though I haven’t been shooting over the past few weeks I do have a fresh shoot to leave with you, one I’ve been meaning to blog for so long but for some reason my fingers just never made it to they key board to get it done. Now’s the time! Take a look at a shoot I did this winter of three gorgeous little ladies 🙂 I shot this session at the same time we did our Valentines Day shoot, but I had SO much to share from that one I didn’t want to overload my readers with TOO much cuteness. I love this session, all the soft colours, the ruffles, the sparkles….all things feminine and girly. ENJOY!
Shortly after I posted a teaser picture to this shoot my fabulous gal pal Erika sent me a message and it said “its funny that for as long as I’ve know you you dislike the ra ra surrounding Vday…yet you produce these uhMAZING styled shoots in honor of the occasion!!” She’s right. I do hate the ra ra surrounding Valentines Day and I still think it’s a silly Hallmark holiday…I think that it’s so much more special when Chris surprises me with cupcakes and a card on any day other than Valentines day…a day where he’s doing it because he loves me…not because he’s expected to do something. BUT lets be honest I love pink. And hearts. And all things girly. In short, I love all the pretty things that come out for Valentines day and I LOVE putting together “daydream” shoots like this, so I couldn’t let this opportunity slip by! I called up three little models and begged them to pose for me….after a lot of begging (ok, not really) I had three little ladies travelling to the studio to meet me for this session. Their mom packed up their bags with lots of fun clothes, new Chuck Taylors and the prettiest cookies i’ve ever seen (yup, she made them!) and we had a party!!! Opps, I mean photoshoot, we had a photoshoot……but it sure felt like a party!
Today’s Valentines Day post is honour of the love between sisters! Whether it’s your sister by birth, or your sister from another mister don’t forget to share the love today with the fabulous girls/women in your life!
Happy Love Day!!
P.S. Don’t you just LOVE the paper heart garland?? After seeing paper garland on Pinterest I knew I HAD to have some…and when I imagined making it myself I usually imagined a disaster. Lucky for me I found this lovely little store on Etsy called Yellow Bird, Yellow Beard and Janee made me this perfect paper garland. You MUST check out her store – paper garland makes a perfect added touch for photoshoots!
