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!

Point Pleasant Park

Thursday was my day out. Day to breath, Day to relax, not think about anything else that was going on, just me. Herman was home with Liam, so I knew he was fine, so I had no other worries on my mind. I decided to go for a little drive with my cousin (and best friend) Marcel, to point pleasant park. I have only been there once since hurricane juan, and I must say, I miss walking the trails in that park. It is sooo beautiful, and peaceful. Lots of runners, lots of families. You could tell everyone was happy to be there, and the fact that they have a Pinky's Ice Cream Stand... (yumm.. I'm a sucker for Ice Cream), made my evening that much better.


I took a couple pictures alone my adventure, so I'll end my loving day out with those :)



Happy...Sunday ..ox!



The beautiful sun reflecting on the water... love this :)

Jaedyn

Last Saturday, I had a wonderful opportunity to attend the birth of baby Jaedyn. Her mom, Reielle, is my younger sister bestest friend (and i mean, they don't leave each others side), and she was almost two weeks over due. Even more excitement, is Reielle did not know what she was having, so even though she was going through some fustration because of a lengthy labour (been there, done that), she was anxious to know if she was welcoming in a beautiful baby boy, or a beautiful baby girl!

This was my first time in room to witness a birth, and even though it was nothing like I expected, I hope it is not my last.
Here is the beautiful miss Jaedyn, seconds after birth!

Mommy & baby (instant love, its moments like this, that I get to capture that make me all warm and tingly inside!! )






Giving me a little smile :)




















Isn't she just beautiful! Congratulations Reielle on your adorable baby girl!

My Buddy Alex!

Since I told you I have more photos to share, I will share them right now, while I have a free minute from Liam. A good friend of mine, Alex, wanted some photos taken, and I asked if I could do it, since I am trying to build my portifolo and need the practice. He agreed and I believe they turned out great.


Alex is pretty photogenetic, so no doubt the pictures came out great and he is a great guy to work with. He is now my pratice model since well, he is up for pretty much anything !


Enjoy!!

This one is definitely my fav!!!

Water Babies

Since I am new to this, it is hard to keep up and make sure i post on the days that I do these shoots, I gotta have post-it notes around the computer saying "BLOG" so I make sure I do these everyday!

I have a couple things to post about, but I'll just start off with WATER BABIES :)

My sister, being a new aunt, to my beautiful little boy, offered to help me take him out to a near by park to get some practice and some cute photos of him, and her together! It turned out to be a great day, and for anyone who knows Liam, he can not stay away from the water. We took him down by the lake to dip his little toes in, but it wasn't having just that. Wanted to keep going further and futher.. (basically trying to get me a heart attack).

He is going to be a swimmer alright!

I am going to post a couple photos I took from that shoot, and I PROMISE I will have more tomorrow on another shoot I did with a close friend of mine :) Gotta Love Kids and Friends


Enjoy!
