i’ve been keeping a secret

September 2, 2009 5:50 pm

for the past 5 weeks or so i’ve been keeping a secret. a secret that i couldn’t even share with one of my bestest friends. you see, she had a very special birthday coming up and i was part of the “comittee” that was planning a surprise party for her. it was so hard to keep it from her but in the end, we managed to do it.

we celebrated her birthday this past weekend. and i have to say that all that planning paid off!  we had the best tail-gate-hoe-down EVER!! lots of food, an awesome birthday cupcake cake, a group gift, a memorable slideshow, heartfelt speeches, and life-size stand-ups of the birthday girl herself. there was even a band that had us all up dancing in the dirt until almost midnight – that’s when the band shut it down so we wouldn’t upset any neighbours.

good times!

happy birthday aj! we got you good!!

oliver . casual portraits

casual portraits are great. anytime. they capture who you are. right now – at this time in your life. there’s no need to get all gussied up. no fuss. no muss. just casual. plain. old. casual.

a few months ago i was asked if i could just do a mini session with oliver. you see, oliver is growing up right before his momma’s eyes and she wanted me to capture a few portraits of him before he’s completely grown up. oliver is the son of miss lorraine. miss lorraine is the owner/instructor of dance at steps ahead dance, where my daughter takes classes.i was more than happy to oblige.

photography sun flare

if you follow this blog at all on a regular basis, you know that i LOVE sun flare! love it! and i love experimenting whenever i can with the sun. i was going through some pics that i took last month and i found this one. how i managed to overlook it the first time around is beyond me. i love going back through my images to see what treasures may have been missed the first time around.

i’m so happy that i found this one tonight.

august long weekend

August 4, 2009 9:58 pm

we’ve been having an exceptionally warm summer here on the west coast. and even though the extreme dryness is causing many unwanted forest fires throughout our beautiful province, it makes for great camping weather, even with a campfire ban in effect.

this past weekend we went camping with some of our closest and dearest friends in one of the most beautiful spots i’ve ever camped, sprout lake. such a gorgeous place. the water was crystal clear and oh so warm. our weekend was made up of lots of boating, tube rides, water skiing, rope jumping and of course, a few beverages to keep us cool!  i can’t wait to go back again.
