My Little Princess

We try not to call her a princess but she is 4 and in that "stage". Everything is princess and everything is pink! I took her out on Sunday afternoon for a photo shoot in her Hallowe'en costume. She was gung-ho until we got there (of course)! Any that did show her face had a pout or a scowl. Here is one that I did some photo editing on. I kinda like the outcome.

Until next time...D.

My 2nd Wedding Shoot

Yes--you read that right. My 2nd wedding shoot. My friend Jen, step-mom to the previous bride, contacted me about stepping in and taking photos. She is sister to the groom. These photos were taken last Sunday at the Elm Hurst Inn in Ingersoll. Here are some of my faves. Isn't the bride's fascinator great? I've got two possible family shoots and a newborn photo shoot coming down the pipes. Yahoo!!

Until next time...

Wedding photos

Saturday was the civil ceremony of a friend's step-daughter in Toronto. It was very low-key; the perfect environment for my first wedding shoot. They haven't all been edited yet but here's a peek.

Until next time,

Lately...

Our deck took almost all summer to reconstruct. That's OK, it was definitely worth it. I'm so happy with the results. Check out these photos.

And tomorrow I FINALLY get to shoot a wedding! My friend's step-daughter is getting married. Her husband is an amateur photographer but they would rather that someone else took the pics. So they asked me. I'm so glad I finally get to do it. As you know, two of my friends got married and decided to go with a professional so I haven't had my "first time" yet. I can't wait!

Until next time,

First day at JK

First-day jitters don't belong in my daughter's vocabulary. She is only 4 but she was all smiles on her first day of "big school"! It was interesting trying to find out what she did today but what was the most fun was listening to her "play school" and becoming her teacher. At age 4. After only one day. I remember "playing school" when I was little. We had a desk and a chalkboard and everything. But I was much older than 4. Does that mean I'm in trouble with a very mature kid?? Good luck to all of my friends whose kids have their first day tomorrow.

Until next time...

No more daycare

Well, today was the last day. She is so excited to be going to "big school". Her teacher at daycare says there are going to be a lot of sad friends in about 2 weeks when they realize she won't be back. Apparently my little girl is well-liked! Onward and upward. Boy, we'll be able to do a lot with that $600-$700 we'll be saving every month! Now to find a parent who can pick her up after school.

My daughter has one week of daycare left and then she starts JK, or in her world "big school". She got a new backpack yesterday and she's been playing with it all afternoon. She's been playing school and taking snacks and lunch in her lunch bag. Mommy & Daddy had to pretend to drop her off and pick her up at school. She's used to going 4 days a week to daycare so let's hope this "all day every day" thing is an easy adjustment!
