When I started my blog back in January I named it Tripods and Treadmills with the intention of not only posting about my business but also about my training for a 1/2 marathon. Along the way I have only made a few posts about running just because as usual, time was a factor! Well , on May 18th my friend and running partner Arleen and I completed our first official 1/2 marathon in Red Deer!!! It ended up being perfect weather, warm but not too hot and overcast, it even rained a few drops which was refreshing. We certainly didn't break any speed records but for us it was a great accomplishment and finishing was winning!

McKenna

I have been photographing McKenna since she was 3 months old, where does the time go? This little sweetheart just turned 2!! McKenna was is in the mood to have her portrait taken. Her mom even convinced her to try on one of my new "petti skirts" I have been waiting to use. Happy 2nd birthday McKenna!!

Beckett

Laureen and Dale's little guy has arrived! Meet Beckett, 2 weeks old. I think he's going to have red hair just like his daddy!

My Daughter ~ The Dancer

I have talked about my boys and their BMX biking so only fair that I post about my daughter as well. My daughter is a dancer, when she's not taking or teaching a dance class she's dancing around the room! April and May are the "dance" months in our house and always busy with festivals and recitals. This year my daughter will be graduating from high school , it's all a little bittersweet for me as this is the last year she will be involved in dance (to this degree anyway). As a surprise for her I am putting together a slideshow documenting her dance festival experience, from a somewhat photojournalistic approach. Here are some of the images I will use. Her last festival is this coming weekend and I hope to get some good shots of her with her students. I am so proud of my daughter Jayelle.

Newborn Cowboy!

Meet 10 day old Dalin. His parents, Craig and Michelle, brought all kinds of western gear for us to use. It was great to try some different ideas.

Mother and Daughter Session

Tracy and her beautiful daughter Courtney had their portraits taken together. These images will be cherished by them and their family for years to come. I am sure you will agree they are both stunning!

Kalum

Probably my favorite age to photograph is 6-8 months old!! Kalum was the perfect example. What a great little guy!! Here is a couple for Nicole and Jody, enjoy!
