                                        Monday, September 29, 2014. Several months back, my cousin Leona asked me if I'd be interested in doing the flowers for her son Scott's wedding. I was pretty intrigued by the idea. Years ago, my sister Lisa and I helped our younger sister Tamara do wedding flowers for one of her family members and I had done bouquets and boutineers. For my niece Rebecca's new sister-in-law a few years ago as well, so I'd had a little experience. Hmmm would I do it? Of course I would! Reflect the vintage the bride. Thankf...

                                        Friday, February 27, 2015. As most of you know, I love. To read. As a kid, nothing was more enjoyable than a long, leisurely visit to the library on a Saturday morning. One of my favorite spots in the library was the fairytale section. I read every. single. Brothers Grimm book they had, and a wide assortment of fantasy novels began to stack up beside my bed, ready for midnight sessions with my flashlight under the covers. Love a great fantasy/fairytale story. I made it into. And I was as quiet as a mouse...

                                        Tuesday, May 12, 2015. I had the sweetest little girl and her mom in the studio. It was little miss's first birthday and her mom wanted to record it. Mom didn't want the traditional cake smash but brought along a dress she. Had worn as a girl as well as her daughter's new birthday dress. I put together a few setups that we could play in. ( I LOVE that part of my job! Mom also brought a cupcake she had saved from the birthday party for a bit of a mini cake smash at the end of our session . . . Watch it on...

                                        Saturday, October 25, 2014. Shutting out the Noise of the World Wide Web. I can't enjoy reading a good book the way I used to. From the time I first learned to read, I reveled in the abilitly to pick up a book and, regardless of where I was, find myself lost to the world around me, deep in what ever adventures were unfolding on the pages before me. It drove my mom crazy. She would trip over me in the oddest of places, curled up, book in hand, deaf to the world around me. Those thoughts are nothing new.

                                        Wednesday, May 14, 2014. Cool Things Happen When your Sister comes to Visit. My sister Lisa was up visiting with her husband Rick and some of her kids and grand kids recently. Rick's mom and dad were celebrating their 60th anniversary and she asked if she could use my kitchen to do a little food prep for the party. (ha! She doesn't do anything. Little when it comes to food! Of course I quickly agreed, since it gave us the chance to visit at the same time. . . Don't you love it when family comes to visit?

His best friend Brad was getting married and was looking for a photographer. Would I do it? Of course I would!

                                        Monday, March 30, 2015. Life without Friendship is like the Dawn without the Sun. So begins a poem on friendship by Marsa. I don't know about you, but I've found that making time for friends is something that's the first to go when life gets busy. And these days, when isn't. I have several wonderful friends, all of them the kind you can go for months without seeing and then pick up right where you left off. It's a precious gift. The visit has to be a face to face visit. Virtual visits don't count here.

                                        Wednesday, December 24, 2014. Taralynn and Cody's Wedding. A while back I was honoured to be asked by Danielle of Lucier Photography. To second shoot for her at Taralynn and Cody's wedding. I was excited and apprehensive at the same time. Danielle is an amazing photographer and I didn't want to let her down. She was so sweet and encouraging though, and gave me opportunities to learn from her through out the day. She also allowed me to edit and use any of the images I took for my portfolio. Luckily for my...

                                        Saturday, January 31, 2015. Valentine's Day Party Printables. It looks like I'm getting this posted just under the wire but it's still Friday! I missed it by 7 minutes! Arghhh. . . . I ran into a bit of technical difficulty in Photoshop when I wanted to do something and couldn't figure out how. The only problem is, I don't know to many people who know Photoshop, and none. Who use it for design type things. They sensibly use Illustrator. They print much nicer than my home printer.

News that had something to do with this guy . . . A few of you remembered that this was Morgan's. Tattoo, which meant that the exciting news must be about my third child. The one who more and more reminds me of his dad. Except when he reminds me of me. Or of himself . . . . A few of you even guessed the news. (Being family has it's advantages!
