2009 christmas memories

kp — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 06:07:23 +0000

it seems like it was so long ago but it’s only been 2 weeks. lights, elf hats, rock band, christmas cheer, gift giving, magical wizard wands, remote controls, great food and fun times – all such great memories of a wonderful holiday season filled with friends, family and the beautiful spirit of christmas.

thank you! thank you! we’ve reached over 50 comments for the cans for comments campaign! that’s so AWESOME!! that means i’ll be delivering over 50 cans to my local food bank. tomorrow is the last day to post post a comment for a good cause. be sure to leave one!

i am finally getting through the hundreds of images that i took this past spring on our trip to hawaii. one of our days was spent at the maui ocean center. emily was fascinated with the turtles. i wanted to share a few of my favorites from the day. i love that i captured her reflection on the turtle tank.

one of my favorite things

kp — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 06:11:10 +0000

i’ve decide to begin a new series here on my blog called one of my favorite things, where i will share with you – yes, you guessed it – some of my favorite things in life. it may be about a favorite recipe that i’d like to share with you, it may be about someone who inspires me or it may just be about a book i’m reading at the time. who knows?? you’ll just have to keep tuning in to find out what it’s going to be about.

so, for the inaugural one of my favorite things post, i would like to tell you about one of my most favorite things in the world right now. it’s a birthday gift that i received back in october from derek and the kids – a pandora charm bracelet. have you ever seen one?

they originated in denmark and they aren’t anything at all like the old type of charm bracelet – which i don’t have. the charms on this bracelet screw onto the bracelet rope. it’s so cool. it allows you to add to or change the bracelet whenever you’d like. the number of different charm combinations is infinite! it could be a different charm bracelet every day!

these are a few of the charms on my wish list for christmas. aren’t the glass beads gorgeous!! i sure hope santa sees my wish list! ;)

keep leaving those comments! one can is being donated to my local food bank for every one.

thanks so much to all those supporting the cans for comments campaign. your encouragement and support throughout the years has meant so much to me and I could never thank you all enough! but I can show my gratitude in a way that will help and support those that are less fortunate than I am. and that’s what cans for comments is all about!

i made this collage using images from my iphone and blog images posted throughout the year with shape collage. it’s a free application. it’s fast. and it’s really cool! let’s you make photo collages in almost any shape. try it!

the christmas glow

kp — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 06:26:06 +0000

it’s starting to look a little like christmas around the paton household today. while the decorating has not yet begun on the inside yet, we managed to get the outside lights up today. it’s such a daunting task and derek does his very best to stay festive and cheerful throughout the process. it’s our first year using the led lights outside and while they aren’t as bright, i must say, i do like them – derek on the other hand, well, let’s just say, i’m working on him.

product feature: boudoir album

kp — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 07:18:38 +0000

first, i have to say thank you to everyone for leaving comments and supporting the cans for comments campaign. i missed a day of blogging yesterday – my apologies! and because of that, i will extend the deadline to december 11. thanks to my good friend sarah for keeping me REAL!

now, on with the blog post – i love taking pictures. that’s no secret. but what i love even more than that is when my clients love the images i create for them! and i love it even better than when they want to create a leather album as a keepsake from their session.

below are some shots of a boudoir album that i recently designed for a very favorite client of mine. it’s a christmas gift for someone very special in her life!

20-hinged-pages of amazing images, rich colour, with a leather exterior, all wrapped up in perfect packaging!

contact me now to book your boudoir session for valentines day – it’s not too early!

my wordle :: on canvas

kp — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 07:30:46 +0000

wordle is a cool website that generates word clouds. the text within the word cloud can come from a web site or from text that you provide. it’s lots of fun! go and try it!

earlier this year, a fellow photographer and blogger extraordinaire, lindsay stradtner designed with a wordle template and graciously shared it with everyone. check out her site.

i finally got around to personalizing her template and designed a wordle just for my family. i knew immediately that this was something that i wanted to hang on my walls so i decided to have it printed on a 10×20 canvas, since canvas art is so popular right now! and though i haven’t quite decided where exactly i’m going to hang it yet i absolutely LOVE it!!

p.s. don’t mind the dust! LOL!! i’ll get to it one day… i swear!

don’t forget to leave a comment because for every comment left between now and december 10th, i’ll be donating a canned good to my local food bank.
