Mother's Day is coming!! What would every mom LOVE to have?? Photos of her children of course... Now it's not too late to get that gift certificate to get the ball rolling! What a shockingly pleasant surprise... Honestly, photos are so important to woman! It's a girl thing ya know - a gift that won't be forgotten! Call today! I guarantee this will earn you some major brownie points!
Aren't they all though?? This is a session that I did a week ago. A five month old baby & her big sister whom we shot when she was just fresh out of the oven a few years ago!!!! My time flies when these little ones come back all grown up!! sniff, sniff.... anyway... the focus was on baby, but we did spend some time getting the two of them together as well for a very well rounded session! And it was lotsa fun as you can see!!
Well, after much anticipation, I am so happy to announce that my Workshop, Babies & Brats, with Foto Image Works, is completed! I gave my presentation last night that included a couple of tear jerker slideshows and a power point presentation. I was extremely nervous the first few minutes, but once I got past the jitters, I felt pretty relaxed. Lots of positive comments after and I've been invited back next year with an extra hour added to my presentation!
I had a chance to sneak down to BLUSH Salon & Spa today to have a look at the new Tanning Studio which is also home to the Beautiful Woman Gallery, a body of work from the Beautiful Woman Project that we just did. Gorgeous Black and White Vintage Style Photographs of the BLUSH Girls blown up poster size. VERY COOL!! There will be a Cocktail Party on Saturday, June 7, 2008, between 6pm&9pm to celebrate the opening of the Tanning Salon & to show off the Beautiful Woman Gallery. Everyone is welcome!
Beautiful Woman Sessions are done here at the studio. They include make-up by Blush. Album packages range from $350 - $550.00 and include the digital negatives and a private online gallery. Our albums ROCK too. Bring your friends and make a day of it... it's fun and empowering!!

I had to work most of the day but my hubby dragged me out at about 3:30pm and we went down to Cultas Lake with the kids. Clarke is learning photography so he brought one of my old SLR's... he took the first few photos and then I had to "take over" to show him how to do it... of course, I can't put the thing down... sheeesh! Here's one of Nicole and Sadie, a happy pair. 
I am desperately trying to prepare for my speaking engagement at UBC next weekend! I'm so excited but I need to put together a slideshow or two for my presentation.... I'm so picky though, it's painful! But, I found some really cool music that I love today, and I think it will be a tear jerker.. It made me cry, but what doesn't? Here's the link to my bio and my presentation outline... FotoImageWorks. Send me lots of good energy! positive outcome, standing ovation.... I'm sure this is what I'm supposed to be doing with my life, I've always pictured myself as a teacher of some sort... not to mention rich and famous.. heehee.
Jess tells me I need to post everyday, because she checks the blog every day!! Okay, I'm REALLY going to try! I like to post photos, but if I'm in a rush, I'll just have to to tell stories!. I did post a new album today though, so have a look for Carter's album... It's a compilation of images from 2 Sessions and when it's finished in about a year, we will have shot another 3 Sessions and essentially have documented the first year of his life - which is when a baby changes the most. The fun one will be his first birthday where we will let him have his own cupcake at the studio. He's so CUTE, I just wanted to maul him when Melissa brought him in last week for a visit..... really, she shouldn't let her hubby out alone with that baby, he's a major chick magnet (the baby that is).
Here are a couple from a session we did today. Brandon, Heather & Jessica. I've known Heather since she was in Grade Five and my girls LOVE her. Comments from the Mallory girls: "Is that Heather Maz?.... she's sooo pretty". "Which one is Heather?" "We like Heather, she's nice" "Heather was our favorite".
