Tracy

Another new mom to be. Tracy was glowing and adorable! I can't wait to photograph her little one.

Abby, Gayle and Neil

Last week a new family came to visit the studio. I had fun working with 3 year old Abby, Gayle and Neil. Even the furry members of the family got in on the fun!

Terri Clark in concert!

I want to congratulate my friend Susan on her retirement from Dental Hygiene. Right now she is in Las Vegas celebrating!! I couldn't go along because of prior commitments so her and I had our own celebration. She drove all the way from Fort MacMurray to attend an outdoor concert in St. Albert with me. We were entertained by Aaron Pruchett, Johnnie Reid and Terri Clark and it was awesome!! I got some great photographs as we were in the 3rd row!! We are country music fans so we were lovin the 5 hours of music. Note for us next time , bring chairs!! Here are a few images of the show.

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.
