Photo # 4 | Photo Assignment

Something good must be coming my way, I mean besides what I already have since having Liam, I always feel good & lucky, but something must be coming. Within the last three days, I have found seven lady bugs, not one or two, seven! All around my home, creeping on the curtains, outside on the windows. Everywhere I look they are there. Ladybugs are suppose to be good luck, so keep them coming.


Last week, I had a midterm in one of my many math classes I am taking. I was pretty nervous, seeing in how math has never been a strong subject for me back when I was in high school, but something must of changed because yesterday I got my mark and it was...an A+! (48/50) *Must be those lady bugs!


Overall, school as been going well for me, & photography has been treating me great! Just wanted to give ya'll an update :) I'll leave you with a photo of some lavender I took in my front yard a few weeks ago.


Happy Tuesday!

My thoughts right now are, rain, rain, go away! Nova Scotia had a late (& short) summer, and now just a rainy fall. I do enjoy rain, I love hearing it as I begin to fall asleep, or just picking Liam up, and running outside, jumping in puddles, & the smell of it and pavement afterwards. But ..with the amount of rain we have been getting, it is really not making me what to enjoy though puddles anymore. Soo please, go away for maybe two days please!

I got together with some friends yesterday for a family/engagement session! Turned out soo nice, I can't wait to show you all the photos. I ended up being an 30 minutes early, so while I was waiting, I played around, which is what the next photo is going to be!

Beautiful yellow flower! I love flower, I would do anything to have a marco lense right about now!

Happy Sunday!

Photo Assignment

These past couple of weeks I have been lacking in the photo department. I have just been really busy with school assignments, and with Herman doing side jobs, I have to devote all my time between school work and playing with Liam, (honestly, no better way to spend my day than playing with trucks and cars and balls, man i love my son!). So I would keep up with it, I decided to give myself a photo a day assignment. The way I'll do this is snap some photos around my house, or in the yard when were outside, or on our travels to the park! Edit at night while the little man is sleeping (hopefully I have no homework to catch up with ;) ) than I PLAN on posting that night or the next day! I'm working towards 30 photos, arranging from anything and everything! I am excited to see what I come up with.

Other another note, I have some portrait sessions coming up & I couldn't be more excited! I am just counting down the days until I meet with the clients and get everything started. Also this week, my good friend Christine and I are going out to take some fall photos, and do some portraits of each other for our websites!!

Since it is a photo blog, I'll post photo #1 of the 30 day assignment!:)

Herman and I went out one night to dartmouth to take some photos, and we captured some from the Dartmouth Waterfront of Halifax! Sooo Beautiful. I love Halifax.

Ashley | Portraits

Oh Ashley!

My good friend Christine set up a shoot with her friend Ashley, for me to gain some more experience by doing mock shoots, which is working out great! Now Ashley, my oh my, this girl is amazing! Being in her presence, just put me at ease. From the beginning to the end, it was perfect. She was open to try anything we pulled out of the bag, and had some good ideas herself. As soon as we met outside of Public Gardens, I knew i was gonna fall in love with her. She just has that most beautiful smile and laugh, you just feel amazing being in her presence!

P.S. A great bouns, Christine is the photographer for her wedding next August, and I am her assistant :) yay!

Here are some photos of the beautiful Ashley!!!
Enjoy!!

Samantha & Luke | Portraits

I got to hang out with Christine to assist her with a portrait shoot. Samantha and Luke are definitely fun people to take photos of. Their personalities fit perfect with each other. One tells a joke, and the other knows to laugh. Being with these two, and taking photos, made it a perfect night!

Here are some photos from that evening!

Happy Tuesday!!

Candis, Jake & Baby B | Portraits

A couple weeks ago, I did a family portrait session with my friend Candis and her finance, Jake, and little baby boy, Brayden, also knows as baby B! All I have to say is absolutely adorable! We went up to the Kinsmen Centre and just had so much fun. Candis was open to all ideas so that made it easy to pose them, or the little man. Brayden is only 4 months old, and oh my so well behaved. He was giving me soo many smiles it was perfect. Candis and Jake make wonderful parents, and they are just in love with their little boy :)

Here are a couple photos from that day, I know Candis is dying to see them!

Life

It has been quite a while since I did a post, I feel so bad.

My life has just been soo busy with Liam, and School. I had a midterm on my birthday..(yuck). and I have a math midterm coming up that I have been studying and preparing for. Since I am in business at SMU, I am trying to get the best marks I can so anything business related, I cut myself off from the world and just study!Math, being one of those courses.

My birthday ended up bring a great day! The weather wasn't that great, although it was hot, there was no sun! :( I did get wonderful gifts though! One from Herman and Liam, a new camera Lense... 55-200mm :) Soo excited! I have already been out using it, and I am really enjoying it. Also my parents in law got me a Willow Tree ornament that I have started collection. I absolutely love it. & I also received a gift from Marcel of a photo that I took for inspirtation! Couldn't have asked for more....(well..maybe I could of asked to have that mid term a different day..lol).

I'll end this with some photos I took on my day out and about in halifax, and dartmouth :)

Happy Friday(evening)!!!

Jenna: Anytime

Last Thursday, My good(actually great, wonderful, beautiful) friend Jenna and I took a little drive down to public gardens, for a photo shoot :) Public gardens is always such a great spot for photos, its peaceful, beautiful, gets some of the best lighting (sunshine) in the city, and there is soo much to it, you can shoot just about anywheres. On this particular night, Public Gardens was quite busy. Since we haven't been getting that great of weather here, people were taking advantage of it, so we had to limit our space, to where we weren't in peoples way and such things.

Being it was a last minute decision to do this, I asked around and Jenna was right on board. Ever since I told her I was interested in photography, and wanted to pursue it, she has been right there for me. She is a graphic designer, and does beautiful work, so she helped me with my logo for my images, and I couldn't be more thankful. We always have a good time together when we get together, but this night was definitely a favoriate. We had each other laughing so much, and I have never had someone make me feel sooo comfortable being behind that camera, and letting me do my thing. I'll end this with some photos of the fabulous Jenna :)

Happy Thursday! ox









Oh soo pretty... she's a nautral










Check out my new logo..... we'll be able to see it in white as well on other photos :)






I forgot to mention Jenna is getting married in August and I couldn't be more excited for her :) Had to get a ring shot!








I'll end this with my two favoriates of that evening :)




Thanks sooo much Jenna! :)

School

Before I decided to go back to school, I never realized how much work comes with it. I think my thoughts were..... "hey, go back to SMU, take business, and have more opportunities" Well... ha ha, I wish I would of thought about every other little detail first. Don't get me wrong, I am more than happy about being back in school, but all that homework, wow... just not my cup of tea. (especially since I don't even like tea..lol ) I am just not a paper writer. I have been lucky so far on taking classes where there are no papers, but I got one this semster, and it is a big paper. Oh well... I just keep thinkin...I'll be happy when I am done and I pass :)

On other news, I have a couple of shoots coming up with some lovely friends! They are being absolutley amazing, and being models for me to just get out there and shoot, shoot, shoot. Also, my good friend Jenna, has been helping me with desiging my business cards and logo for my photos :) Sooo excited! I'll keep you posted on that, and im sure my logo will be popping up on some photos soon!

Well.. its about that time, I can hear my bed calling me! Can't wait until my head hits the pillow.

Good night ya'll!

P.S... I wasn't going to leave yah hanging! I got a couple photos to post as well! Enjoy!!

Daddy & his boy!
