• I have many journals that sit on the shelf at home. They chronicle many aspects of my life. I love to look through them, enjoying the things I have written or the pictures there in. It is my hope that as you look through these pages, that you too will enjoy the things placed so lovingly here.
    It has been a journey that has seen me through many joys and a few heartaches. From the start of Crimson Chickadee and my growth as a person and as a photographer. From the realization that how many fans I have on my facebook page does not merit my worth, to the swelling in my heart as I hit publish to a post that I know will mean so much to the intended recipient.
    I hope you join me often, with a good cup of coffee, and enjoy these pages as much as I do creating them.

Party of 5 | Wainwright Family Photographer | Photos by Nicole

Wow…I have to tell you that these kids are all so sweet..and well behaved! Mom should be so proud!!
And I can’t believe how much the girls look like their mom…especially miss G…but it was when I was taking the boys pictures that I felt like I had gone back in time! I have seen that look way back when I was in high school…someone else had that same look on his face as he walked the halls of the BSS.
You have a beautiful family ‘S’. I am so happy that I got to spend some time with you and your kiddos. Enjoy!

Bad weather won’t dampen our spirits

It was a horrible weekend here in Wainwright. The visibility on the highway was very poor and when you combined it with the icy roads it made for treacherous driving conditions. We did brave the roads into town on Friday afternoon…and on the way in I wondered if I had lost my marbles. We made it in safe and sound and settled into our weekend at the trade fair.

To those that did come out we want to thank you for your support and to all the people who entered our draw and made a donation to the food bank for the laundry hampers. We were able to raise enough money to purchase 1/2 of the hampers that went out in 2009!

The lucky winner of the Bloom session was Dean Gau. I look forward to seeing some of the images Alleisha captures for you…I know they will be great!

To those of you who didn’t make it there is always next year…but until then here is a little peek at our booth.

We’ve got a new product!!

I am a fussy person and  I am very picky when it comes to the things I like and dislike. I find shopping frustrating because I never seem to be able to find anything I like! Well…I found a product that I WANT! Now to me that is an indication that it is something that I should offer to you! So here is a sampling of my new line of product that you can purchase through the studio. ( and since you can’t see me as I sit here and type this…I am so excited you might compare me to a silly girl in grade 7! )
