I am so excited to have a new home for my latest and greatest sneak peeks!! Here are a few things you should know about moi:
I'm happily married to Steve, aka....Awesome!
I have 5 crazy munchkins that keep me VERY busy.
I wear sweats unless I actually have to leave the house.
I LOVE Diet Dr. Pepper.
I LOVE to sing really loud in the car.
I LOVE to shop.
And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Photography!
LOL! I’m editing the Jamaica wedding pics and stumbled across this Gem! Remember how “hot” she was Janelle! Thought you’d get a kick out of this one. I’m almost finished your gallery. I’ll keep you posted!
Have a great day!
Pure Hottness!

This past weekend my girls had their first competition of the year! They did Awesome!!! I’m so stinkin proud of them. They actually practiced for this one and it paid off. Our goal for this competition was to remember all of their routines. I was expecting tears from at least one of them. But no way. They remembered and there were no tears! I’ve been watching made up routines for the last day and a half. It’s pretty cute. Now they want to attempt 2-batons. I love seeing them so jacked about a sport that I absolutely love! I can’t wait for the next competitions to see how they do.
They both received their first medals in a competition. Mari placed 4th in both Medley and Solo. Kami placed first in both Medley and Solo. Kami now advances to the next level in Medley and Solo. She has a lot of work ahead of her. They also placed first in their group routine. What a cute bunch of girlies!!
I thought I’d post a picture of them with their medals. They haven’t taken them off since they got them on Saturday. One of our twirlers mom, designed these medals. She did a fabulous job! She is a very talented lady. She also makes and refinishes childrens furniture! Check it out at http://findmeovertherainbow.blogspot.com/.
Enjoy!

I’ve had the opportunity to take pictures of this little guy before. Back before he was mobile!!! He was quite the little crawler………it’s just amazing how fast they grow! His older brother was such a ham during our first shoot but he was wanting nothing to do with my camera this time. It took a while to get him in the pictures but once he did……..he turned into the cute little ham he once was. And then Mr. Crawler decided he was done. NO MORE for him. But we did manage to get some cute ones.

So, I know I already posted today but I had to share the funniest story. At least I think it’s pretty darn funny. I like to call these little stories about Mak - ”Makisms”. My little Maki(makeeeee), this is what I call him, says to Awesome:
“Dad, I have to tell you something.” So serious too.
“What do you need to tell me Mak?”
“Kato needs the beats.”
“Why does Kato need the beats?”
“Because he won’t sing for mom. Mom asked him to sing and he just won’t do it. So I think he needs the beats.”
Awesome and I were trying to keep straight faces through all of this cause he was not kidding around. Funny thing is, I don’t think he even knows what “the beats” is. I guess it’s my stellar parenting skills…………I’m thinking I shouldn’t threaten “the beats” anymore.
I have more “Makisms” to share but that is for another day…………….maybe.

February 3, 2010 - 7:49 pm - Sweet shot, yes, he is so very cute! I love that Sam is wearing his "soft pants" to the party - I can't ever get him to wear jeans. UGH.
The other day I was just playing so I grabbed my oldest and made him get his picture taken. He is probably the hardest kid out of all of them to get a snap of. My heck……you’d think I was going hurt him by looking at his expressions. I mean “What expressions?” This kid won’t smile for nothin!!! I have yet to get a smile out of him. One day, One day…………………………………………
Here are a couple of them that I liked. This was just for fun. At least it was fun for ME!

February 2, 2010 - 11:36 pm - No wonder he and Kaysen are "Summer buddies" as he won't smile for nothing either.I thought it was the awkward buck tooth phase but Kato has no excuse since his dad is a dentist! Love the pictures anyhow.
February 4, 2010 - 7:38 pm - love these tj....
February 5, 2010 - 9:07 pm - Kaysen wants to know where Kato's shirt is...he's a little disturbed by that and Blake said he is a "POSER"
February 8, 2010 - 1:45 pm - LOL! I wish he would pose! He was still in his pajama bottoms. I just grabbed him and made him get his picture taken. If it were up to him, he'd have a shirt on. But it's not cause I'm the boss!
Holy Cow! I have been such a slacker in the blogging department. To be honest, I have been a slacker all around. For those of you who have been to my house lately, you know what I mean. I need some nice weather to get me goin again!! One of these days I’ll get caught up on my mountain of laundry, my dust bunnies, my editing, and whatever else I have looming over my head. 
One thing I have been doing is going through all of these fabulous Jamaica pictures! Oh how I miss the sun!! I’m getting there Janelle. I can’t wait for you to see them!!!!!! Here are a few more to tie you over. I hope you enjoy these!!!
This is Janelle………the most beautiful bride in Jamaica! This was taken at the end of the night. Seriously! Who looks this good after hours and hours of craziness!?
This is Jason! The Stinky Tuna........or something like that. This is one of my fav's!
Here is one of the outakes! She's in heels and on a ledge. What a trooper!
This was CRAZY!!! Those are ANTS! I had them climb a tree and sit in it and when Jason jumped down he had a freakin colony of ants crawling up his pant leg!!! So creepy. I'm surprised he didn't punch me in the face! I would have!
Here are a few that I took from our bus ride to the airport. What a poor country. Makes me happy to live in Canada and to have the resourses that we do.
So on our way to the airport, our bus broke down. We pulled off on a very narrow road. We didn't think the bus was going to make it, but it did.
This is a picture of the road from a different direction. I just liked the look of the road. AT the end of this road was a nudie beach!!
This is just a fun picture!

January 29, 2010 - 11:39 am - TJ, these are wonderful. Really fabulous, actually. I have to say I burst into laughter when I read about the ants and being punched in the face. Looks like they were a fun couple.
January 29, 2010 - 3:47 pm - Love your pics... I know.. going to those places makes you grateful for canada.... and yes.. those ants are very creepy.... I would have punched you... :)
It has been a while since I have had a maternity shoot! How fun……….these guys were up for anything. In fact, mom had the cutest idea to put finger paint on big sister’s hands and make cute little prints on mom’s pretty perfect looking belly. The turned out darling! When mom called me to book her shoot a couple of months ago, she told me she was already so huge!!! So here I’m expecting ginormica to walk through my door……….well low and behold………..so far from HUGE!!! More like perfect little basketball. In fact, a couple of shots looked ridiculous because her belly was too small. LOL!
It was so nice meeting the 3, almost 4, of you. I can’t wait to meet baby “A” when she arrives!
Here are a couple of teasers for you………………Enjoy!

January 25, 2010 - 10:20 pm - TJ- we absolutely love these teasers...You made us feel so comfortable and the photos prove it. You have an amazing talent and I am so happy we found you. I am looking forward to having you take photos of our "little one".
I have been wanting to put together a monthly newsletter for a while and well…….I finally just sat down and did it. In doing so, I realized that I have no idea how to go about this. I need a little help from you guys to figure out what I need in it. I would like you to PLEASE shoot me an e-mail or comment on my blog, letting me know what you think it needs. I do know that it will contain “secret” sales and discounts on sessions and prints. So to get those, you will need to be on my mailing list. You can simply e-mail me with your name, number and birthday(I won’t make you tell me how young you are but you are welcome to include that). I am so excited for 2010 and hope to keep expanding my business. I know I have much more to learn but I am having a ton of fun in the journey! Thanks for all of your support.
January 13, 2010 - 9:00 pm - Just happened upon your blog a while ago and I love your photos! It would be great if you had a section in it on the how to's of photography for those who would love to learn from you.
January 18, 2010 - 10:33 pm - tj, please, please post some pics of jamaica soon. i am dying to see them......
I FINALLY got to editing some of the Jamaica Wedding pics!! I feel like I’m still in Jamaican mode……….RELAXED!! I wish I was still there sitting by the pool, gettin my tan on & sippin pina colada’s! But real life has kicked in and my CRAZY schedule has hit me real hard. Back to being a Wife, Mother, Taxi, Counselor, Bouncer, & Photog! Good times!
So a few months back I shot an engagement session with an awesome couple at their “Magic House”! I instantly knew we were going to be friends. They are such fun-loving individuals and sooooooo in love! Over Christmas break, Awesome and I went with them to Jamaica to shoot their wedding. What an amazing day it was. We were there for a week and their wedding day was the nicest day we had. It was absolutely PERFECT!!! We couldn’t have ordered better weather. We also got to know them better………..A LOT better! There were a few surprises that had me crying tears of joy! I don’t think I’ve laughed that hard in a long time Janelle! If Jay-dog needs any blackmail material…….I got it!!! I keep watching the video of you and Jules doing your thing…….or should I say “shakin” your thing!! LOL! Good times.
Thanks for letting us share this day with you guys and your family! We had such a good time and look forward to getting to know you even better. I have more pictures to post but I know you two are back at work today and I’m sure you’re wanting to see something………………………….so ENJOY!

We were blessed to have the perfect fairytale wedding in paradise.....and doubly blessed to have such WICKED FABULOUS VERY MUCH IN LOVE peeps there to capture the love Jay Dog & I share in snapshots! Camera 2 did such a great job!

The weather was beautiful……..but to be honest, any weather would be better than this! It was a shock getting off the plane and into the FREEZING COLD!! I will post pictures of the wedding I shot in a bit but I had to post my favorite picture I’ve taken of my wicked Awesome hubby!!
