Wow!   It has been a while since I blogged something!  After posting my last two sessions before the New Year,  I wanted to take some time to let all my loyal blog followers know a little bit of what is going on in my life lately.  It has been B-U-S-Y but I am not complaining - I have a lot of things to be thankful for this holiday season. 

First and foremost is my family.  Its been a really busy year for us - my brother married his amazing wife Jenn, my dad retired after over 25 years to his home in Newfoundland, and I spent an amazing month exploring Europe with my husband Troy.  

Second on the list, was having the opportunity to capture images of so many amazing clients!   Photography is my biggest passion - and without all these people having so much trust in me it would not be possible for me to have come so far in such a short amount of time.  Although I am cutting back on some of my sessions in the New Year,  I am super excited for what 2010 is going to bring.  I may be taking a month off in January -  but February is going to be full speed ahead.  With a Boudoir Marathon planned (check back for details!), several engagement sessions booked, and prepping for some tradeshows and conferences, I cannot wait to get started.  

Third on the list (still to do with my photography), was meeting so many amazing photographers.  I may not have had the chance to meet a lot of them in person, but the internet has been my best friend over the last year.  I was able to network with so many people that inspire me so much.  I cannot wait to get a chance to meet them in person in the next few years.  First on the list is a workshop with the legendary Jerry Ghionis from Australia.  I have been looking forward to attending one of his workshops since being introduced to his work a few years ago.  I know this will totally rock my photography and I cannot wait to share it with all of my upcoming brides.

Before I go, I wanted to let everyone know that I have got my first ad out in Wedding Bells Magazine!  It was totally a last minute decision but I am super excited about it!  One of my personal goals for 2010 to is to submit a full wedding feature for the Spring/Summer 2011 edition of Wedding Bells.  Also be sure to check out Hot Pink Brides and Wedding Obsession, two amazing blogs that I  have been featured on lately!

I am also quickly booking up on the wedding front, which I am super excited about.  Currently all of my weddings are out of town and I would love the chance to shoot some weddings right here in Fort McMurray!  Which brings me to my latest promotion.
