DLS Exercise

Sooo....this week's project was to do a "before, during and after" shoot.

My sister & I planned on taking our kid's to the WEM, so I decided to haul my camera along and document our adventure. Getting the kids ready... our day @ the mall and finally...time to go home. Click on the pictures below to see our full day.

My new baby...the Canon 40D

I got it!
On Friday I purchased my long awaited Canon!

This was a crazy weekend of busy family time and being stuck in the house because of our Alberta weather!

When the weekend ended I was so disappointed that I didn't try to get some good shots with my new camera....maybe next week!!

Then, here I am going through the pictures I took all weekend and realized that I didn't have to try to get good pic's.....they just happened.

So here they are........crazy pictures of the first weekend my husband has been home in over 2 weeks, drinks with friends, breakfast @ my parents house and just being us.

Shadia, Hanna & Baby

I guess you could call this an official photo shoot.....lol!

I had 2 hours before I was returning Christine's camera and nobody to take pictures of......my son was in school and my daughter was having a nap! I was in panic mode, "who could I call to be my models of the day?"
So I emailed (I didn't even know her phone #) Shadia and asked her if I could borrow her pregnant belly and her camera loving daughter....and she graciously agreed.

The shoot went pretty good.....it makes it a lot easier when you have a little girl who smiles like an angel every time she looks at the camera & a beautiful pregnant mommy.

Thanks Shad for helping me out in my time of desperation....hope you like your pic's.

Coffee with Janel & Abby.

Today was my first unofficial photo shoot! Well actually....it was more like asking a friend over for coffee and taking pictures as we chatted.
I would like to thank Christine for letting me try out her Canon...and to Janel & Abby for being willing participants!

Here are a few pic's from today...

It's official...I have a blog!

Yes....you read it right! I started a blog. I emailed a few pictures to a friend last week and she suggested that I start an online portfolio and a blog.....so here I am...thanks Christine!
I really don't know anything about the blogging world...I have never even visited one until a week ago but I am gonna give it a try...

I am a wife and mother of two beautiful children. Carter is 5 yrs old and is well aware of mommy's photography obsession....maybe addiction is a better word. He usually starts running when the camera comes out! Then, there's my little girl....she is 5 months old and I swear she already recognizes my camera & starts crying.

I am excited to begin this next step in my life & I look forward to meeting new people with the same passion that I have.

My two beautiful children...
