Well not really me…but it sounded kind of fun, like we had been on an adventure! I can barely believe that miss p is 9 months already. I always look forward to her visits…it is so fun to see how she has grown since the last time I saw her. I had such a hard time choosing what should go up for her sneak peeks…she looks so cute in them all!

When the alarm went off on Monday morning I wondered as I looked at  the time if I had agreed to something that I was really going to regret.

I got myself ready and I kept looking at my bed thinking it looked so inviting, I wish I could snuggle back into it.

As I headed out on the dark and lonely highway I wondered when I would see the sun.

I entered the building I called my destination and headed to the office and wondered what the day would be like.

I walked into the room and saw all of the  computers, the studio lighting, tables full of binders and cameras and many curious faces…I thought to myself it will be amazing, I am so glad I agreed to come.

As the day came to a close and I made my way  home I pondered about how often we procrastinate to do something that is a sacrifice to ourselves and a benefit to others. That simple act often becomes the most educational and satisfactory thing. I did not spend the day in the soup kitchen or volunteering for a wonderful organization but I did spend the day with a group of the most amazing high school students.  That’s right…I spent the whole day with the film and media students at the Leduc Composite High School. As I talked to them about camera settings, posing, natural and studio lighting I was rewarded with the gift of sharing my knowledge to eager ears. I am sure there have been more than one laugh at the school today as they walk around looking at the size of the other students eyes and which side of their face they subconsciously favor!

Thank you to all the students for listening so well, for not being shy to ask questions, and most of all for being yourselves and having fun learning about photography!

Till next time…

Around this time last year I did a maternity session in which I captured a picture I absolutely adore..you can look at the post HERE. That little candy cane heart is  is almost a year old! Time goes by so quickly.

Usually it is me rolling around acting silly trying to get smiles out of the little ones but not this time! Grandma and Mom both deserve awards for silly behavior and squeaky voice talking!! I enjoyed Mr. L’s session and he was such a good boy!

I have chuckled many times at this first image…can you see “cat”? ( I know, I know I am REALLY original when naming my animals!) She is like the supervisor around here…always watching but never working!

And how about this one…isn’t he just adorable?

But I LOVE this image!! What a little cutie Mr. L is!

This little guy was a perfect newborn. He was so sweet and slept the whole time. I just kept on shooting away while Mr. C loved the little nap he was having…I just hope he slept for mom and dad that night!
