As I am going through making changes/updates to my 2011 packages I am still in the process of posting many many more weddings from this past wedding season. I came across my beautiful Krista! This bride made me laugh, made me cry. She was just a doll, and with her favorite friends, family & the love of her life all around her made everyone smile
Krista & David live out in Alberta and grew up in Newfoundland, so the whole wedding from start to finish was fun. Lots of laughing and joy!
"Love is a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end."
I mentioned before how fall is my ultimate favorite time of year. I love everything about it. The crisp air, apple picking season, the color of the leaves, the beautiful color of the sunsets. This wedding was taken on my birthday weekend and the most thankful weekend of the year! My sweet Julie & Matt gave me a card with the words "Here's to living life on the edge". I really aspire to live those words. People seem to always worry about the next step in life, and of course I do as well. I try my hardest to live with not as much worry about the next step and in the now! I love that my clients new this about me and seemed in sync with the way I live & my beliefs.
Oh I know...you have heard it before from me..."yes I love my clients" and I am always saying "I am lucky to have them". I am lucky to be able to say and truthfully believe that they are not just clients but they are friends as well!
Not sure how I missed being a part of this one? Gorgeous couple! Lovely shots, love the apples.
(01.21.11)Stunning!!! Love the fall colours.

These are things I do know I love about traveling:
~ Meeting Local People & Learning about their lives. This can change your world. It can change the way you think about this life, and it makes the world a smaller and more lovely place.
~ It brings out my innermost creativity. I have seen a million buildings in my life, but the one city that brings out creativity in me every single time is New York City. It is filled with culture, amazing stories and art.
~ Opens my mind. Each time I travel I find out more about myself and about my interaction with others. Self Awareness is something that can never be a complete task.
On a flight from Abu Dhabi via Saudi Arabia via London, England to Halifax, I was sitting with a fellow islander. He inquired about my tan (Abu Dhabi is in the middle of the desert) and where I was coming from and heading to. I told him that I was trying to get all of my travelling out of my system while I was young. He just laughed and said I would love to meet up with you again in 20 years and see if your plan works. That was 10 years ago and I feel like I have barely skimmed the surface of where I want to visit and explore! I have several loves and passions in this world, and traveling is definitely one of them!
"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page." - St. Augustine
LOVE IT!!
(01.19.11)AWESOME! Keep doing what your doing, and living them dreams ♥
(01.20.11)Love the quote! I do believe traveling opens your eyes and heart~
(01.21.11)I think it would be funny for you to run into that guy from ten years ago, I am sure he would see a completely change. Also anyone that didn't think that NYC was one of the greatest places in the world, is surely crazy! It is one of the most inspiring places to be.
(01.21.11)That picture is stunning!

The snow just started to flake as we started our session but this only added to the mood and the ambiance of the shoot! Their is nothing quite like being all snuggled up with the one you love when it is snowing out side! So in your own little world in a city of 18 million. So romantic!
Vivian works with MasterCard on the marketing end of the company. Dave is a prosecutor in NYC along with a martial arts teacher. They live in New York and had hired my dear friend Krista Jefferson of Edison Photography to photograph their wedding last year. When Krista contacted them that we wanted to set up a shoot with them they were more than willing! We were all excited to try out our new lights we had purchased at Adorama that day! They are such an adorable couple! Even though they were shaking because of the cold, they were willing to keep on photographing! What a sweet couple!
Ohhh so romantic, I love them.
(01.19.11)I love the snow and the lights, they are beautiful pictures and couple too!
(01.19.11)Seriously how do find all these gorgeous people to take pictures of. Stunning!
(01.19.11)So beautiful:)
Very Romantic!!!

Joel is married, and has 6 children. He travels about an hour to work on 42nd Ave in Manhattan to share his positive thoughts and vibes via twitter while he works for Adorama. So our group of 6 traveled to Adorama to make a few purchases and could not go their without meeting our famous Joel. He is amazing as his twitter personality which surprised none of us. He came with us to the cupcake shop down the street and we had the most amazing conversation with him. Follow Joel on Twitter @adoramaused
Joel really inspired me in so many ways. He pointed out that artists are so hard on themselves and we all need to be happy with the work we are producing because it is amazing. When he mentioned the words "Copy Yourself" my eyes teared up. Being an artist it is such a hard business to be in because you are constantly being criticized. You could be complimented a 100 times and 1 critical comment and that's the one your remember. Joel was so impressed with our group of girls who have bonded. He thought having such a safe place to share and boost each other up is an amazing thing.
Genuine real connections is what traveling is all about. It is what makes traveling an adventure. If I could make one connection each trip that I go on, this would make the world a much smaller place for me.

Great documentation of your stay in NYC! Love your style of photography!
(01.15.11)Oh Wow, I bet this was an amazing talk. :)
(01.17.11)Oh NYC - People always told me that the people in NYC were cold and unfriendly but I have never encountered a single mean person. By the sounds of this post, you haven't either. Great work capturing a great moment!
(01.17.11)I love that you share all these amazing experiences on here. I can't afford to travel right now and it is like I am right there with you. Thanks for sharing your talent.
(01.17.11)Aww Thanks so much for your words and feedback, I'm glad I could make you feel better about your great work! Was so great to meet you all!
(01.19.11)I have told so many people about your creative photography. Your blogs are a pleasure to read and give me inspiration. I can really empathize with your comment above which stated: "Being an artist it is such a hard business to be in because you are constantly being criticized. You could be complimented a 100 times and 1 critical comment and that's the one your remember." Creative people need to support one another. Thanks for your words. I hope we meet up some day.
