100...

Well it has been a wonderful year and journey for me and my photography...  I have learned so much and know that I have so much more to learn..  I have gained inspiration from my children and from other photographer's that I have come to enjoy...  I am looking forward for the season to change, to get outside more with my camera....

I have been taking loads of photo's of my boy's and watching them change, I want to remember all their little details and funny face's...  I am sure I look silly to anyone who is not looking through my lens but I love it....

Thank you to everyone who has encouraged me and come to enjoy my photo's and follow me as I do with other's...

Here are my boys, surprise surprise...  We went on a little holiday to the west coast to take in some of the Olympics (those picture's to come) and the weather was beautiful so I did get to go outside and it was so nice to see green....  Enjoy!

A Bittersweet Day...

December was a very important month for the http://www.treasurelife.ca/ Foundation.  Like I said in the title it was a bittersweet day..  We all would have taken Evan's company over this day but in his honour and memory we did our first cheque presentation to help with the cause that has become so dear to my heart...  so on that morning Rick Jenkins and Shauna Jenkins presented a $30,000 check to Dr. Yashu Coe. Pediatric Cardiologist at the Stollery Hospital, Edmonton Alberta Cananda.  The presentation was done at the ultra modern catheterization lab in the Mazankowski Heart Institute on Dec. 4, 2009.  Dr. Coe works very closely with with pediatric and heart transplant patients at the Stollery and is world renowned for his work in the catheterization field. Funds are to be utilized for medical and research equipment, educational books and patient support.


As a special Christmas surprise and to help keep the Cardiac Kids busy during their stay at the Stollery, we also purchased $1,500 worth of Nintendo DS and Playstation portables along with over 15 games. These will be utilized on the ward as well as the outpatient clinic.
Some of the kids waiting for heart transplant can be in hospital over a year so we know these will be well utilized!   


Along with taking photo's of my boy's, families, couples, and everything else that crosses path's with my camera I have committed to taking photo's for the Treasure Life Foundation and it was my pleasure to be there that wintery morning and I thank you for including me and my family as we honour Evan.  xo

If I could sing, it would SNOW....

I was given the opportunity to take photo's for my friend who is a dance teacher.  She had a vision for her dance piece that she choreographed to have photo's of her dancer's dancing in the snow projected on the wall behind the performance...  So on a cold but beautiful Sunday afternoon when the sun decided to peep through the clouds I got these shots.  I did not know what to expect or what the photo's would look like but I think that they turned out beautiful and what a great feeling.  I have chosen not to limit myself with what type of photo's I take and still have so much to learn.

I love that I have realized that this is for me.  I went to the performance and had a smile on my face from ear to ear and even though it was a small detail to the show having my name in the program for the photo's was awesome.... I am very proud of myself... so thank you Jodie and I hope that my photo's are included in your vision again one day..

I hope you enjoy the photo's....
