Engagement Photographer!

2010-09-21T08:58:00.000-07:00

Love! What other word could a person possible use to explain this couple? These two are all smiles, giggles and cuddles. They inquired about wedding photos for summer of 2011 and sadly I was already book for their day. I was flattered when I received another phone call from them asking for me to take their engagement shoot. After meeting them I couldn't help but join in on their smiles and giggles...this couples love for each other is contagious... congrats to you two on your engagement!

Graduation Season!

2010-09-16T17:26:00.000-07:00

Lamothe Wedding

2010-09-07T15:11:00.000-07:00

I got the chance to take a couple photographs of my cousin at his wedding just before the ceremonies. He had his two brothers stand up for him so it was also a great chance for a family shoot! These guys are like brothers to me! Love you all lots and CONGRATS to you and Danielle, Joseph!

6 Months Old, Already!

2010-09-07T07:51:00.000-07:00

Children Photographer

2010-09-06T15:37:00.000-07:00

These 3 girls are the definition of SWEETNESS! All 3 of them "performed" for the camera like angels. It was a beautiful August summers day, the combination of the two made for gorgeous photos!

I have figured it out! Larger images from now on!

2010-09-06T12:07:00.000-07:00

Here are a few more...I just can't resist!

Joseph & Dani

2010-06-15T11:34:00.000-07:00

I was out at a graduation party this last weekend and I had a chance to shoot my cousin and his fiance. These two are so in LOVE and you can't help but be drawn to it. Although it was a quick off the cuff shoot we had fun! Thank you and congrats you two!

LIght my way...

2010-06-08T15:45:00.000-07:00

Learning new lighting techniques and LOVING the results. But I am needing new models. My little models are getting sick of the camera in their face. I am looking for anyone who is willing to take directions. Just contact me if interested.

Graduation Season!

2010-06-07T14:29:00.000-07:00

So bad weather changed our outdoor shoot to an indoor shoot. These are a sample of them. Congratulations to all the grads of 2010!

Pockets of Light!

2010-06-04T19:53:00.000-07:00

The sun is BRIGHT but the sky it DARK?!?! This is the kind of weather we are dealing with here.

Busy life? ACCEPTED!

2010-06-03T08:20:00.000-07:00

Well hello ALL!

Another GREAT day ahead of me! The clouds are rolling in but that can only mean more computer time for editing! Due to bad weather and a busy life I have been falling behind on work and my class assignments. Today is that day I get caught up! The kids are entertained by crafts sent by Nana Bush and I have coffee in my hand. Life is good! I will hopefully be posting grad shoots, class assignments and fix up this blog (accidently deleted some stuff).

Today my work is dedicated to moms! So all you moms raise your coffee mugs to LIFE! Even though, it is busy, embrace it, ENJOY!

Natural Reflector

Assignment #5

I guess good luck and weather is coming my way...I was behind in my assignments for this class because I was waiting for the SUN to SHINE... and yesterday evening and today it has! YAA! Also to add to my luck my son and nephew decided to play in the puddles that the rain brought us these last two weeks! ARGHH!!! But I got my camera and started shooting because this assignment is natural reflectors with backlight... what better to naturally reflect than a puddle!! I hope you enjoy!

Saskatchewan Skies!

*tip of the day*

indulge yourself!

I am LOVING this online class I am taking thelightworkshop.wordpress.com . It makes me come alive! I am taking chances in my photography that I was afraid to take before. If you are interested in photography and know how to shoot manually my TOP recommendation for this class!

As for the shoot...Tea Time! My daughter has been BEGGING me to spend time with her...so we had a 'lil girl time this afternoon. She had a tea party with her babies and I shot in FULL SUN! Win, win for both of us!

Enjoy! and like I said INDULGE yourself today in something you love, it will put a smile on face!

WORKSHOP TIME!!

2010-05-03T15:19:00.000-07:00

SO, I have signed up for a photography workshop, Finding the Light and I am LOVING it. Dramatic Light, the first and most scary assignment!! This was my take on it. My daughter, Anna says: "don't wanna do dat anymoe" but as a dedicated photographer...I ignore her comments and keep shooting! I am hoping over the next few weeks my excitement will roll off of me on to her! Cheers to you all and keep posted I will be shooting and sharing weekly!

Zubot Wedding

2009-11-28T09:09:00.000-08:00

In Septemeber I was in Humboldt, Sask shooting Lauren & Derek's wedding. This was a windy, windy day and instead of it letting us down we used it to our advantage! What a GREAT day!

Thought I was gone FOREVER?!

2009-11-28T09:06:00.000-08:00

Yes, I have been not present on my blog for sometime now. I am BACK and hoping to post what I have been up to in the last couple of months. Enjoy the view! May God bless you and your family in this joyous season!

CoMmEnTs, I LOVE them!!!!

2009-09-03T07:08:00.000-07:00

I welcome you to my blog. And I ask that you leave a comment of what you think of the photos good OR bad. (Hey you don't know how to fix something if you don't know it is broken, right?) But also each group of photos that get MORE than 20 comments will receive an 8x10 of their photo (valued at $27.95) for FREE! So get those comments rolling!

Fun Day Sunday!

2009-08-30T17:39:00.000-07:00

I don't usually work on Sundays but today was an exception. A friend of mine came over and we played around with my studio lighting. I am excited how it all turned out. I learned that when in a slump, practice for FUN!! Things will turn around! Thanks for such a fun afternoon!

Family Farm Photos

2009-08-27T15:27:00.001-07:00

The Mollenbeck family booked me for a session at their home. The family was celebrating a 50th wedding anniversary. The plan was to take the whole family in front of the family barn that has been standing for nearly a century! Sadly it was POURING RAIN the whole day so the family opted for an indoor shoot, but this little "branch" of the family decided to duck out after the shoot and take a few outside regardless of the rain. Luckily it didn't rain the whole time we went out..how GREAT is that!!! I am totally STOKED about the results!

SWEET lil' ISABELLA

2009-08-26T12:22:00.001-07:00

Yesterday the weather here in Quill Lake was unbelievably gorgeous! Not able to pass up this wonderful opportunity, Heidi brought out her sweet lil' girl for a shoot! We couldn't have asked for a better day! We got so many great shots, but sadly I can only post a few. Oh my what a sweetheart, you can't help but smile while looking at her!

boys will be boys!

2009-08-26T09:53:00.000-07:00

Last week Lisa brought her three little boys to visit me for a session. She brought along some wardrobe changes and suggested some ideas that she wanted. (I love it when clients bring their personalized ideas to a shoot). They were all FULL of energy and enthusiasm even though it was a cold AND rainy day.

I had So much fun with them. They laughed and giggled the whole time! Thanks, Lisa, your boys were so much fun!

WoRkInG HaRd!

2009-08-26T09:21:00.000-07:00

well today is one of those days... TONS of work... little time! ( i am not complaining) I LOVE it!!! By this time tomorrow I will post a few new images and maybe even a BIG announcement! Wish me luck!

Summer Time is Wedding Time!

2009-08-24T14:25:00.000-07:00

This summer was filled with weddings for me! This particular couple was ready to laugh and have fun! And that they did! It was a relaxed and heart felt day. You can just see the love between these two. It is AMAZING!

July Wedding

2009-07-06T09:04:00.000-07:00

This July Wedding was a non-traditional wedding, but that didn't stop us from having fun. It was a beautiful wedding and the weather cooperated for this outdoor shoot. Thanks to Barb for letting us shoot in her gorgeous yard. Congrats to Lisa and Garth!

Tis' the Season for weddings!

2009-06-09T14:33:00.000-07:00

I am working on images of a wedding I shot on Saturday! I am utilizing my artistic, creative and adventurous side (since my "technical" side decided to cop out on me 1/2 hour BEFORE the "getting ready" shots started, YIKES!!!). So with a new camera in tow I decided I might as well embrace this NEW opportunity and take it up a notch or two. So here it is. Comment on the images let me know what you like and dislike! I am just having a good time playing around! My top 5 fav's will be posted when I am finished all of them!

Watson Graduation

2009-06-02T09:33:00.000-07:00

It was a gorgeous day for a High School Graduation this past Friday! Four of the nine graduates asked for me to take their photos on this very special day of theirs! It was so much fun! I have been trying new ideas. Technical and composition. New angles, utilizing my lenses and playing with light! After all that is what photography is all about, RIGHT! Here is a sneak peek of those handsome and beautiful graduates...
