Krista & Josiah's Wedding

This past weekend I flew down to Michigan to take pictures for a friend's wedding. I had such an amazing time! Everyone I met in both Krista and Josiah's families where incredible. I was truly blessed by the wedding and everyone there. There were little things that were special about this wedding. From the foot washing ceremony, to the special presentation the groom put together for his bride, to the heartfelt speeches, there was certainly something special about this wedding. Congratulations Krista & Josiah and thank you for letting me be apart of your special day!

Things are Always Different at Night

Last Night a friend of mine and I went for a little photo excursion. The town sure seems different at night, especially in the back alley ways. It was great to get out and take some pictures for fun, and I am hoping to do more of that soon!

Hannah & Jeremy

About a week ago I put out an offer on my college campus to do photoshoots for a discounted rate. This is the first of a few that have been booked. Hannah is one of my best friends and this is a picture of her and her boyfriend Jeremy. :)

Semester in Review Part 4

I didn't get to do it nearly as much as I wanted to, but sometimes it was great to just get my camera out and snap some photos for fun.

Semester in Review Part 3

I had a great time taking photos of Bethany Hockey this semester. I love watching hockey and love the challenge of capturing action shots at just the right time.

Semester in Review Part 2

In October I photographed a wedding for a good friend. It was a beautiful wedding, and I had such a great time taking photos. It was one of the first times photographing a wedding without a backup photographer so it was a little different. Nonetheless, I am very happy with how the photos turned out. Congrats James and Natasha!

Semester in Review Part 1

This Semester I didn't get to take photos everyday but in the next few posts I'll show a bit of what I have been up to in terms of photography. :)

This semester I got to take photos for Bethany Bible College's Postcard/Brochures. There was one for each program offered at the school. I learned a lot through this project, and though it was very time consuming and at times frustrating, I feel like I learned a lot and grew as a photographer from doing it. Above are some of the photos I took for this.

Tonight featured an exciting episode of Survivor Kenebecasis on Bethany Campus. My dear sweet roomate was eliminated and I'm betting it is because of the intense threat she posed to the other competitors. Nonetheless, it was an event fulled and action packed night and was great fun as per usual.

This is the view from one of the windows in the chapel. I really like these flowers and sometimes when it is nice and sunny out and we are in a chapel service in the morning, I will glance out and I just feel inspired by this view. It kind of reminds me of the song "Love Song for a Saviour" by Jars of Clay. There is a part of the song that says this...

"In open fields of wild flowers

she breathes the air and flies away
she thanks her Jesus for the daises and the roses
in no simple language
someday she'll understand the meaning of it all"

Today was a busy day of taking pictures. This is one of the daughters of the male RD on campus. She is quite adorable. It is likely that she will be the poster girl for the Children's ministry Program.

Tonight there was a service on here on campus led by the students (I think the official name is now elevate). I was supposed to be trying to get a photo for a project I am working on for admissions but I didn't end up getting the shot I was looking for. I did still take a few photos and I really like how this one turned out. So Katie...two things. First, keep putting your heart into worship, I am personally encouraged by your heart for God. Second, you are very beautiful and you looked stunning tonight. :)

Re-Start?

This past month has been quite the adventure. 4 major repairs and much waiting has finally led to a new laptop. I have decided to start my year over again since it would be very difficult to try and remember everything from this past month.

Here's to hoping that having a functional laptop helps in the process. Stay tuned for photo number one tomorrow!

This past year one of my best friends Meaghan went on exchange to Holland. It is great to have her back in Canada and back from camp also. Tonight we actually got to spend some time together and I realise how much she has grown over this past year and this past summer. She is amazing and God is using her in spectacular ways. I truly enjoyed getting to hang out and catch up. This is a picture of some wooden shoes she got on her trip.

The countdown is on and there are 11 days until I go back to school. I started packing today and I went to pick up what I thought was an empty box and it turns out my cat had actually snuck into it. I think it was is way of telling me to take him with me.

This is a very deep and phylosophical photograph delving into the issue of real vs. fake people which is ever so cleverly represented by a real and fake apple.

Actually, seriously, I've been thinking a lot about how as humans we are often very fake with each other. Even when I took this picture I thought about how I would come up with this elaborate meaning about it's significance. Truth is, we have glass fruit on our kitchen table and I thought the glass vs real would probably look cool next to one another (and also I had yet to take a picture today and I was scrounging).

So there it is. Now would you have preffered the elaborate and composed fake story, or the truth?

If you look at it logically, time would definitely travel backwards on this clock....assuming the hands went clockwise. Secret to time travel? Who knows!

This cute and slightly overweight male Cat is my baby, Zazou. I came in to my room today and could not help but take his picture becuase he jsut looked so cute all sprawled out in my laundry basket.

Tonight was SO much fun. I took a trip out ot Turtle Creek and took some photos of Ashley and her beautiful horse. It was great to do a photo session that was a little more of a challenge(since horses don't really do what I tell them too). I had a wonderful time and I think you will be very happy with how the photos turned out Ashley!

What could be better then a spa day with your sister? hhmmmm a spa day with your sister without the spa day fees. Today my sister and I did a spa day with all stuff we already had at home (after the trip to the grocery store). It was such a great time. :)

Since I am leaving for school in a few weeks my sister and I decided to take a picture together. This photoshoot did not last very long because the bugs were awful and of course we didn't put on any bug spray. We did manage to get a few pictures together, this one included.
