A lovely Wedding

I had the pleasure of spending the day with Chris & Jody on July 11th. It was a perfect day for a perfect wedding. I brought with me a red umbrella as a lark to see if we could use it somewhere and it turns out that the wedding colors went very well with it.

The guys were loads of fun, I personally love this shot of them in the theater. The dancing photo turned out beautiful, this was a 15 second exposure, Chris and Jody had to hold the kiss for the whole 15 seconds - pretty sure that was not too difficult to do!

Family Photos at Train Whistle Park

I like this park, it has a caboose, railway track and big trees. Very cool. We spent an evening shooting this lovely family, you could definitely tell the boys were 2 and 3, the energy was...Wow! I wish I had half their energy.

Cute kids! Once they slowed down, I got some really nice shots

Once was lost now is repaired

Some dear friends of mine had their wedding photo damaged, I photographed it, scanned it and pieced it back together. Here is the result, I am pleased. It took me a while to do it and I took a few liberties, it is kind of like find waldo, can you see what I changed?

Truck Driver Turned Singer

Off to a sod field north of Stead, the photo shoot is a success, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, the truck is stuck and we have no cell phone. Tempted to drive the fork lift the 10 k back to the yard we opted in waving down a pickup, they had a cell and we had service, back in business.

This singing truck driver is fulfilling a life long dream of creating a cd of his own. With a sweet sound of blue grass, the old time gospels are sung out with a happy heart, I can't wait for my copy. The photo shoot is for the cd cover, I am thinking this is gonna look good!

Happy Birthday Canada!

Happy Canada Day!

My family and I went to the Selkirk Canada Day Celebrations, the fireworks were excellent! I took my tripod with me so I could catch the fireworks in action.

The trick here is to have a long shutter speed set on your camera or use the bulb setting to keep the shutter open for a long time. Most of the shots I took were about 7 or more seconds long. Use the tripod to steady the camera because no one could hold a camera that long with out camera shake. If you don't have a tripod set your camera on something hard.

After the fireworks were over, we packed up to leave and I was picking up stray trash as I was walking away and I found $25.00! It pays to clean up after ourselves.

I'll quote your proud Mom "Not just another pretty face, she is beautiful on the inside too."  All the blessing to you in your Graduation and as you enter into a new part of life.  Follow your dreams and remember to dream big! Kim

Family, Family and a bit more Family

 I spent the afternoon shooting a really big family, no one got hurt.  What a great family!  They even fed me, I like this, if anyone wants to feed me after I shoot them, that is fine by me.  

I especially loved the couples that I photographed, the photos really show the relationships, the bonds, the love.  Thanks for letting me experience all of you.
