212/365 Olaf Came to Visit

The girls stopped in for a brief visit this evening. And who should show up while they were here?
Why, Olaf!!
And he brought them "Frozen" figurines too!
They were absolutely thrilled!! They didn't want to leave. Never a dull moment at Grandma's house.

211/365 Happy Birthday Mark

And I can't think of a better way for you to spend your 32nd birthday then on your honeymoon with your beautiful bride.

210 Show Me Angry

and she nailed it!

I love getting the girls to show me all sorts of emotions.
Glasses from Grandma's tickle trunk.

209/365 Rose

I realized today that most of my 365 posts this month have been portraits.
So today I photographed a rose.

208/365 Happiness

Mark was truly one happy man this weekend.
And that makes my heart sing. :)

207/365 Sisters

My girls - daughter and daughter-in-laws.
I am blessed.

206/365 Mr & Mrs Cortens

Yeah!!
Beautiful couple
Beautiful wedding
A perfect day in every way!

This is the only photo I have of the couple.......this was one wedding I did not carry a camera. :)
Took this photo moments before my camera was seconded to the photo booth for the night. :)

205/365 Rehearsal

Tomorrow is the big day!!
These two are so excited to be married. There is love flowing all over the place!
They are being married in their church - an old converted fire hall. The perfect place since the groom is a firefighter. :)

204/365 The Grand Girls

The gang went out for burgers the night before we all left for the big wedding. These four girls just love being together; hours of playing and never a squabble. I wish they lived closer together.
My heart is overflowing with love. :)
And now we are off on our road trip to Uncle Mark's wedding!

203/365 I See You!

After Anna and Elsa braids, we had one last play in the studio before packing it up. Tonight is supper with the cousins and then tomorrow we head to Mark & Pam's wedding!!!

202/365 Spray Park With the Grands

It's what you do on a hot and sunny summer day on the prairies.

201/365 Dad

Our son and his girls.
I set up the studio in the garage this week so when the urge hits us we head and preserve a few moments.

200/365 Let's Go Fly a Kite

We watched Mary Poppins this afternoon..... soooo it just followed that we would go flying a kite with Dad and Grandpa.

199/365 Princess Party

We did everything princess today!
Then we watched Frozen and ate popcorn.
It was a perfect cousin day.

198/365 Monkeys

Took these four monkeys to see "Hercules" theatre in the park. It was great fun.

197/365 Barbies

The family have arrived and the wedding countdown is on.
When four cousins and Uncle Mark get together it is fun times!

196/365 The Bride

Feeling a little spent after 11 hours of shooting on Saturday so no desire to pick up the camera - this too shall pass.
So my 365 today is another photo from the weekend of my beautiful bride.
I knew you wouldn't mind. :)
Resized for a fb banner - cause it is really cool that way. :)

195/365 Love

Found a great place to shoot Shawn & Jason's wedding photos. 

Loads of brick walls, dramatic lighting and air conditioning on a hot humid summer day. 

Thank you Wall Street Common! 

Perfect! 

194/365 Mr. & Mrs.

Pulling from Saturdays photos because I spent 11 hours so far today just culling through them all and weeding out the best of 10 hours of straight shooting!
So here they are, a very happy Mr. & Mrs. Newlywed!

193/365 Style

Well Grandma I think we should plan a family vacation to Hawaii. I'm ready!

192/365 Wasn't it a Party!!

Spent the whole day with a camera in hand shooting a wedding and what a fun bunch they were. And an absolutely radiant bride!
Congratulations Shawn and Jason. It was a fabulous day from start to finish.

191/365 Beautiful Mama

I love Baby Bellies! And this beautiful package should arrive in about 3 weeks!

190/365 Fresh Basil

Just another wonderful part of summer.

189/365 Tinkerbell

She comes to visit with Periwinkle

188/365 Periwinkle

187/365 My Favourite Umbrella

Pulling form the archives of last week because I worked a very long day and came home and painted half a bathroom and now I am going to bed!

But she really is so adorable. And she loves her umbrella so this one goes in the memory book at the end of the year.

186/365 Ninja Kakashi

From the show Naruto - one of our son's costumes for his yearly pilgrimage to Comecon

Studio set up
Three photos overlaid in Photoshop - apparently Kakashi has some fast hand manoeuvres.
Some fun textures for a space back ground.
So much better seen on black so please click on the photo and see the details in the image. Pretty cool.

185/365 Laughter

The girls were over again today and filled with laughter which is a good thing since they have both been very sick this past week with very high fevers. Poor things. We were only outside for 20 minute. Still too much smoke out there.
They came over for the day today because their Mom is now sick with the same flu bug.
Here's hoping Grandma doesn't get it because I will have some pretty busy co-workers at work on Monday if I am not there!

184/365 Chillaxin'

Helping Grandma test out studio lighting.
It's kinda fun.

183/365 Barbie Princess Power Super Sparkle

She wouldn't let her out of her sight today.
And since I set up the studio today, well we needed a photo of the two of them. Eva made the heart with her hands.

" I heart Princess Sparkle Power Grandma"

sigh.... why do we have to grow up?

182/365 Happy Birthday Canada

Celebrated Canada's Birthday with friends and a feast on the deck tonight.
