Day 72

This week I've discovered just how much time one can waste on the internet while she should be working on her portfolio.  Let's just call it research and we can all feel better, ok?  

Here are a couple of my favourite shots from Stephanie's shoot last week at the zoo.  Enjoy!

Have a great weekend :)

Day 68

I had a shoot this morning and, even though I was bundled up in scarf, long johns, coat and sweater, it was beautiful and sunny out with the faint promise of spring in the air.  Laelia (who has hippie roots and is obvs more in tune with the seasons that I) was dead set on a spring shoot.

"But Laelia," I reasoned, "it's brown and gritty and snowy everywhere.  Where is the colour of spring?"
"Who cares?" said she. "We'll buy some flowers and jump in puddles."

Realizing I had been beaten, we turned down the street towards the nearest flower shop.  We didn't make it far before spring started to jump out at us.  There was colour everywhere!  It didn't need to be in the grass or on the trees- it was on the houses and the cars and the trains.  Soon, everywhere we looked had colour!

(P.S. No that is not Laelia climbing into somebody's yard.  If anyone asks, she was just stretching!)

So, unofficially of course, happy spring!

P.P.S.  Five days left to get your votes in for the Photo Shoot Contest!!!!

Have a great day :)

Day 66

Friends, I have news.  Big news.  You are probably already aware that in mere weeks the dear husband and I will be moving to Vancouver.  We are beyond thrilled, but I won't pretend that I haven't had been a bit of a sentimental, misty-eyed mess about leaving Calgary.  For years we've called this city home, haunted our favourite coffee shops and built an amazing network of friends.

And so, to show our appreciation to the people and city that have made this chapter of our lives so wonderful, we're giving away a photo shoot!  The winner will receive a 2 hour session shot with film, polaroid and digital, on location in Calgary.  The prize also includes 10 edited proofs, and 2- 8x8 or 4- 5x5 prints.  Anyone can enter- use it to record this stage of your own life, an anniversary (whether you've known each other for 30 years or 30 minutes), or to celebrate your best friends. 

To enter, just comment on this post (don't forget to leave your email so I can contact you if you win!), or become our fan on facebook and like the Photo Shoot Contest note.  Or, if you'd like to vote for someone else, leave their name in the comment box or like their post.

The contest closes in two weeks, so get as many of your friends to vote for you as you can!

Good luck!

Love,
