It was one of those mornings when I was looking forward to going to Stella’s for a good latté and meeting up with a good friend… I started my day lazily, taking my time to get ready, until I took a peek outside the window and changed plans. Hoarfrost! I grabbed my camera and with 10 minutes to spare, stopped at a park on my way to Osborne Village. I wished I could have stayed longer, but after 10 minutes, the latté was beckoning me. With these winter gems safely in my memory card, I headed off to enjoy a great visit with my friend. As a freelance photographer, having the liberty to come and go, do fun shoots on the whim and make detours is such an added bonus to this already amazing job. There’s nothing like it! I really love these pictures – some of these backgrounds look like textured paintings – what photography can create from nature is absolutely stunning! I never cease to be amazed by light, texture, colour and shapes. I do have the best job in the world! I can’t get enough of taking pictures!

Happy New Year everyone! I can’t believe how fast 2009 has gone, but at the same time it’s been an eventful year! It’s been such a wonderful experience to meet so many new people – couples who are celebrating the beginning of their new lives together, families who are welcoming new arrivals, artists and musicians who are pursuing their passions and other photographers who have inspired and encouraged me. I’m looking forward to the coming months where new and exciting changes are coming: including a new (and absolutely gorgeous) studio space I will now be renting in the Exchange District. More details on that soon…. you don’t want to miss this!
Today I just finished editing a lovely engagement photo shoot with Courtney & Cole – a delightful couple from Lloydminster, Saskatchewan that I had the pleasure of meeting for the first time on Tuesday. They drove in (braving the crazy winter prairie highways) all the way to Winnipeg during the Christmas holidays, and it was great to finally put faces to the names! We had “met” over the phone a few months ago, and after our conversations, I just knew they were going to be a fun, easy-going pair. They’re the type of people who you can sit down for coffee with and talk for hours about everything and nothing. It was great to see their colourful personalities and love for each other coming through even in front of a camera – they were naturals!
Although we’re starting to experience the deep freeze here in Winnipeg, that didn’t stop us from taking some fun photos outside too. Thanks you two for braving the cold for some lovely shots! You guys look adorable and I can’t wait for the wedding!
