I will be leaving this blog up so if anyone wants to look back for images they can do so.

Why?

Why is it that in the summertime it is so difficult to get my kids to go in the backyard and play and when it snows I have a hard time getting them inside to eat supper????

Nicole...

She is beautiful and she is strong... 

that is how I see her.

Photowalk 2012

On October 13, 2012 I was a part of the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk.  What is it you say?  Well, it is a world wide photo walk started by Scott Kelby 5 years ago.  People from around the world on the same day take amazing images of their environment.  This year there were 31,792 people from around the world participating in the walk...how cool is that!!!  The walk is also a contest and the winner receives books written by Scott.

This year Tamra and I headed out on a very cold morning with about 40 other photographers to try and capture some amazing pictures down by the river.  It was so cold that I bought myself a pair of cool mitts at The Better Goods store on Broadway,  cuz my hands were so frickin cold!  side note:  I have never really shopped on Broadway (yep, lived in Saskatoon 18 yrs and have only seen the inside of the Bulk Cheese Warehouse), and let me tell you I am going back and checking out all those cool little locally owned stores...I am now a customer for life.  

This year my objective was to take images with leading lines so I decided to focus on the Broadway Bridge, that leads right to my new favorite store.

Here are my two favorite images from that day.

Bolen Family....

This afternoon I had the opportunity to shoot Nicole and Greg's beautiful family.  Nicole and I have known each other for years as she grew up in Roblin along with my brother Jason and sister-in-law Jenn.  Actually I think (correct me if I am wrong) the three of them graduated together.  Today was the first time for me meeting Nicole's family and it turns out that she and Greg know some friends of ours~small world.  Okay, enough chatting....here are a few sneak peeks of the kids!

Family of 3 becomes 4....

Towards the end of June I did a family shoot for Nicole and her husband Riley and son Dagon.  I have known them since Dagon was just a little toddler and now he is all grown up and in Kindergarten!  Nicole's family  has grown from three to four with the arrival of little Sullivan (who showed up two weeks after these pictures were taken).   The first word that comes to my mind when I think of Nicole and Ry is 'edgy' and that's the feeling I love to see in their images.

Andy and Erin's Wedding

On July 7th, 2012 

Erin and Andy were married in their backyard with family and close friends in attendance.  It was a beautiful sunny day...perfect for an outdoor wedding.  Here are some very special moments from their day.
