Christmas Baby!

Christmastime for any child is the most magical time of year, I remember how excited I would get as a young girl counting down the days until Santa visited our house, I didn't think I would ever be as excited for anything else as I was for Christmas to arrive. But, then I became a parent and the excitement of seeing Christmas through my children's eyes became even more exciting than being a little girl attempting to stay up all night waiting for the big man in the red suit to arrive. I love all things Christmas it is truly the most magical time of year. I have had so much fun photographing my friends little ones this holiday season, below are some of my favorite Christmas images.

Wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas!

TRI KIDS TRIATHLON - Part Two

Our oldest son also participated in the triathlon, he was in the 14-15 year old age group. This was no easy feat for our boy, he had to push himself hard to finish the race, I was so proud of him for participating in the triathlon. His triathlon pictures are after the jump.

TRI KIDS TRIATHLON - Part One

Back in July my two boys participated in the Sun Rype Tri Kids Triathlon Series in the Okanagan. I was so very proud of both of my boys for taking on this tough challenge, we look forward to participating in the triathlon again next year! Photos are after the jump!

Cherry Picking

Picking cherries while we are in Kelowna has become a summer tradition for myself and the kids; the kids feel like they are on a real adventure, they run deep into the orchard to find a great tree to pick from and climb high up the ladder to reach the perfect red cherries. I enjoy taking pictures of their little adventure, but mostly I just enjoy eating the delicious fresh cherries that they pick!

SELF PORTRAIT - 30 Day Challenge

I think most photographers would agree that they are more comfortable behind the lens, rather than in front of the lens, this is true in my case. I love taking pictures of my children, my husband, my friends, and pretty much every subject on the 30 day challenge; but myself...not so much! So, get a good look, cause it's going to be the one and only self portrait your going to see on this gals blog!

I have really enjoyed this 30 day challenge and I appreciate that two of my fellow classmates participated in the challenge with me, please take some time to check their blogs out as well.

DRINK - 30 Day Challenge

While I am in the Okanagan I will end most of my evenings with a nice glass of wine, I tuck my kiddos into bed and sit on my patio with a good book and usually a glass of Chardonnay, by rather that show you another image that includes a glass of wine (if you follow my blog you'll know that there are more than a few images that include my favorite drink); I am going to show you what I drink to start my day.

I love a cup of coffee in the morning, I actually can't function without it, I like good, strong coffee and recently have started drinking a cup of espresso to get me going! Below is an image of my morning drink, I've also included my morning view that goes along with my coffee.
