A few to view

I haven't gotten to edit the photos from the shoot with my friend and her fam-jam. It seems I had my camera set to shoot the photos in RAW.  Yeah, it turns out I can't open those files without Photoshop.   My great friend (for whom I took the photos) is hooking me up....so I just have to be patient awhile longer.

For now, here are just a couple randoms I took while I was on vacation.

Piping Plovers, anyone?

(these little guys are on the endangered species list in Canada)



Queen Anne's Lace

Hydrangea



Back to Reality

My vacation is over.  Booo....I guess it had to end sometime.

My vacation went well.  Saw some old friends, spent time with family.  It was good.  Much needed.

My first photo shoot went surprisingly well.  Though I didn't think until afterwards that their cars are visible in the background.  Ooppss....Lesson learned! Oh well, their girls are adorable enough you won't notice the cars anyway!

As for the photos I'll hopefully find time over the next few days to get to editting them, then will naturally share with you all!

Until then...my new puppy and I are off to bed!
Ciao!

My First Photo Shoot

Yup, thats right.  My very first photo shoot will be taking place next week.

Now, for those of you who have kept up with my on Facebook (and for those who haven't....why not?!) know that I love taking photos of my nieces.  Honestly I think they are among the most photographed kiddos out there.   However, those photos have always been for my enjoyment, or that of the kiddlets' parents' and their grandparents (my parents). So if none of them turn out or I didn't feel like sharing I didn't have to.  I've never actually taken photos FOR someone before.  Now it counts.

My friend has enlisted me to take some shots of her kids, at least her two girls...it remains to be determined of her oldest, and only son, will willingly cooperate!  If not, it'll just be us girls.   The date has yet to be determined, as it'll depend on weather. 

Its exciting and nerve wracking all at the same time!
Wish me luck!

Oh, and if any of you out there in photography land have any pointers....lay 'em on me! 

Photo Ops

So, I am on vacation this week!  YIPPEE!!!  Its a much needed break.
Hopefully this week will bring some photo ops for me to share with the blog world!  However do note the sharing won't take place until the end of next week, possibly the beginning of the week following.

Stay tuned!

The Goodies

Ok, so I figured I should probably actually share some of my photos with you.  You know, seeing how this is a photo-based blog and all.

To start off I'd like to share some shots of two of my favorite things:  my nieces.  I'd move heaven and earth for these two if I could.  Enjoy!

Miss Blue Eyes



The lovely Miss A






















And this is one of the first shots I took when I got my camera...

And yes I know flower photography has been done and done again.  However, they're all so unique and beautiful in their own way, they are one of my favorite things to photograph.

I'm back

I never intended to allow so much time to elapse between posts.  However, between a hectic work schedule last month, and other life goings on, my little blog here took a backseat for a few weeks.  But I'm back now!



view from cottage

 I was lucky enough to have last week off from work (yeah, I have a pretty great boss) which took me home to my parents for a few days.  While I'm from a small town with not much to do, there is just something about hanging out where you grew up with the fam-jam that recharges your batteries.  It also allowed for poking around mom's gardens with my camera, and a trip to the family cottage. 

This past weekend took me to Moncton to spend time with some friends and to take in the U2 concert (which was AMAZING I might add).  One of our first stops when I arrived was Butterfuly World.  What an odd, eerie place that was.  Fun, but eerie.  It apparently draws an eclectic crowd with young and the less young, and those with bleach blonde mega mullets.  It seems the butterflies were drawn to the mullet, she was covered in them.

Anywhoodle, I returned to work yesterday after a great week off.  And I promise (hopefully) to not let so much time go by between posts!
