T-Shirt

Well, well, well.....if someone didn't just go and make a t-shirt out of one of the images I had done with Arianna!  Thank you to the hard work of James Valiant-hair, Gillisha Wharf-makeup, Arianna Hansen-model and of course Erika Scott-photographer......we are all proud!  The image is pretty darned fantastic and we are honoured to have it put on a t-shirt (even though it is bordering on copyright infringment!)

Thank you also to Gideon and Arianna, I can't wait to officially sign the shirt in gold!

Jumped.....

Well, hello ladies and gentleman, I have great news!  I jumped!  I jumped in with both feet and went public.  Well as public as creating a Facebook page is.  I announced to the world as I know it that I have been photographing up a storm.....and loving it!  No more hiding for this little girl.  It all came from going to an Off Camera Flash course yesterday with an amazing instructor.  Thanks to Paul with PMD Photography, I gained the courage to come outta the closet.  So world, here I am!  It sure does feel great.

Richmond Dyke Trail

I had gone out for a walk, got to the top of the hill and then high tailed it home to grab my camera!  Why I even bother leaving home without it when I live in such a beautiful neighbourhood is beyond me.

This image really spoke to me with the lines from the trail and the grasses, but when I originally saw the landscape, I didn't see it in color.....I saw it in black and white.  I really wanted to capture 'that' image.  I love it.  My husband says it looks both like a snow storm and the 'end of the world' covered in dust.  I think it is art....and I think it is beautiful, and that is all that matters!

Photographic Art

I have a new love affair!  It's photographic art.  Well, I have always had a passion for it, though have taken a stab at attempting it myself.......wow, I am in love!

This is a photo I had taken a couple of years ago during a spring break vacation with some friends and our families.  In an attempt to find some images for this years PhotoClub Vancouver's photo exhibit, I came across it.....and well, altered it!  Let me know what you think!!

Alyssa's Senior Shoot

What an amazing day I had with Alyssa!  We climbed cliffs in the park, scoped out the scenes in Alki Park, borrowed strangers front porches and viewed the landscape of Seattle from a secret park upon a hill with no name (well, not one that I know of!)  We did all this with her friend tagging along with an injured knee......who aided in the breaking in of Alyssa's car when she locked her keys in her trunk (sorry, not sure if your mom knows yet.....now she does!) 

You see, in Seattle, the High School Seniors provide the school with their own portraits for their advertisements and acknowledgments in the yearbook rather than having the photographer coming in to do the old school 'grad' photos.....way better!  Love the product that came out of our afternoon of adventure!  Can't wait til they come to Richmond and we can do another shoot!!
