One of the most awesome, funnest reasons for doing photography is that I get to meet such sweet, amazing people. I met Michelle through another friend of mine, who I have known now for years. I had always heard about M and how sweet and awesome of a person she was. When I finally did get to meet her I was ecstatic! M was everything that my friend had described and more! I dragged her outside for a few quick photos as the snow was falling so gently and I got these pics. Can you say beautiful & photogenic much????
I find love when I look within..
I create love all around me,
I see the signs of love
everywhere I look..
Awwwhhh you are so lovely. You really do love love don't you?

People have been asking me a lot what do I want to do? where do I see myself in the next 5 years. Once the New Year & the holidays have passed, people seem to stop reevaluating their lives. New Years resolutions are a thing of the past.
In five years I see my self doing much of the same, loving what I do. I would like to include much more travel into the mix, well I sure don't think that surprises anyone! I really do love being a part of my friends special days capturing their special moments. I had a "friend" recently tell me that I need to back away from photography because I was always busy and that is not making me have a very fun life. I don't know if she noticed or not that I have been the happiest I have been in a very long time since I started admitting to myself that photography was where I needed to be! Photography is fun for me, and for a lot of people this is something they can not comprehend. Imagine doing something you actually love for a living.
Again, what would your three wishes be?
Whoever told you to not follow your dreams is not a real friend. I for one am really glad that you decided to follow them. Not a lot of people have the guts to do so. You ROCK!

14 top Island Talents; Including Legendary Haywire
Donate Time and Talent in Support of Haiti Relief
(Charlottetown, PE January 19, 2010) -14 of Prince Edward Island's top musical acts have come united to together for a benefit concert Island Artists Unite for Haiti. This nine hour licensed event will take place Friday, January 29, 2010, with entertainment starting at happy hour (beginning at 5:00 p.m.) and will go non-stop thru until 2:00 a.m. at the Historic Charlottetown Seaport Event Centre, on Historic Charlottetown Waterfront. Tickets are ONLY $10.00 and go on sale this Friday, January 22, 2010 at Charlottetown Area Murphy's Pharmacies and at Long and McQuade.
"The support from Islanders and the local arts community for the Red Cross response in Haiti has been tremendous. Funds raised at this benefit concert will provide critical assistance to people affected by this earthquake," says Margaret MacKenzie, from the Canadian Red Cross in Prince Edward Island.
Committee Co-Chair
Ron Switzer and bass player for Haywire tell us, "With performers completely donating their time and talents, and the support of the Island community and corporations, 100% of your donations will be given to the Red Cross. With ticket sales and donations at the door, we know we can reach our goal to raise $10,000 for relief in Haiti."
"Haywire welcomes this opportunity to help in this time of need;" expresses David Rashed, keyboard player for Haywire and Committee Co-Chair, Island Artists Unite for Haiti. "And to share the stage with some of the Island's best performers is going to make for an exciting night of music."
The Canadian Red Cross is mobilizing to support relief efforts in Haiti--providing medical support, clean water, food and shelter to people who have lost everything. Since the earthquake struck, more than 400 International Red Cross workers have hit the ground in Haiti (including 12 trained emergency response workers), along with 70 tons of food, water and medical supplies.
Artists confirmed to date include: Richard Wood, Gordon Belsher, Cynthia MacLeod, Meaghan Blanchard, Teresa Doyle, Ninth Hour, Jeff Morris, Macbeth, Sunday Punch, Kim Albert, The Meds, The Grass Mountain Hobos, and Island's Own Music Legends Haywire
