contrite

a friend just informed me that it is UNACCEPTABLE that it has been 20 days since i last posted here. i don’t like it, but i am inclined to agree. please accept my humble apologies and recycle through some of my old excuses…because i don’t have any new ones.

so…to appease her, and hopefully you, here’s my favourite image from a recent senior portrait session i did with abi in portsmouth. iPod ad, anyone? (also, she’s wearing a really cool hat…she doesn’t have a funny shaped head.)

maybe if i’m really on top of things today, i’ll post some of the few shots i got when i ATTENDED my first wedding in 4 years a few weeks ago…i was mostly not in photographer mode, because i was in florist, girl-friday, child-wrangler mode…

ipod girl!

warm fuzzy emails

today i got an email w/ the subject line, “vegan shoe girl with backpiece”. it was a guest from a wedding i photographed in may writing to say that she loved the photos i’d taken of her and her husband. (whenever anyone tells me, “i’m not photogenic…i always look _____ in pictures”, i take it as a personal challenge.

so, i grabbed her and her husband (he was the best man), and did a 5 minute “mini-session” with them. also, she had a beautiful tattoo and awesome shoes, so it was just kind of coincidental that i wound up with so many stunning shots of her/her accessories/ink.

these are the photos she was talking about.

the awesome shoes

the back ink

her crazy-awesome blue eyes (and jovial best-man husband)

aren’t they so cute?

*swooon* for the shoes and FAB tatoos.

downtown wedding

i am so in love with this image from saturday…lesley and ken had an absolutely gorgeous reception at the algonquin club, and we stole 15 minutes to walk across comm ave to take some photos in the little park area…i snapped this one on the way back. (lesley was very certain she wanted to be there for her cocktail hour.)
