Science, Innovation and Creativity Unite at Telus Spark
Yesterday we took our boys to visit the Telus Spark Science Centre in Calgary. Once we discovered that the Dinosaurs in Motion exhibit was there, we knew we had to include it in our family outings for this week. This was our family’s first visit to the Science Centre, and it was a very fascinating… Read more »
Valentine’s Baby Kisses
Yesterday was Baby K’s six month old photo shoot, in his year long series of Watch Me Grow portraits. With Valentine’s Day coming up soon it was only fitting to have a Valentines themed portrait shoot. Baby K’s lovely and very talented mother built the kissing booth prop for us to use for our on-location… Read more »
Action Photography Captures from Sunday Funday
I’m a bit behind on my blogging, as it’s been a busy past few weeks. Several evenings of Hockey Portraits for the Pond Hockey League in Black Diamond, volunteer responsibilities, helping with the kids at school, and a suddenly, albeit briefly, sick boy have kept me hopping. So on Sunday, the gorgeous temperatures meant it… Read more »
Our Week in Pictures-Snow Days
As this is my first blog of the New Year, I wish everyone the very best for 2015! I’ve decided to step up my game this year, and attempt a 365 project-daily shooting. I already shoot a lot of course, but as we all know, more practice equals improved skill. I’ll be sharing the best… Read more »
Let It Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow…

It was a gorgeous wintery day, with perfect conditions, at my home studio near Millarville, so we went outside to make the most of it. Beautiful, fluffy, fat snowflakes, and warm… Read more »
First Times, Last Times, and Capturing all of the Memories
After reading the poem that circulated recently, “The Last Time”, I found myself feeling very wistful, yet bitter sweet. My oldest son is six and in grade one this year, and my youngest just started pre-school for the first time this fall. Anyone whose children have reached school age, knows that once a child attends… Read more »
Frogs and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails
Here’s a little throwback from last summer, at about this time, of my two boys. We had recently watched “Dennis the Menace” ( the 1993 Movie starring Mason Gamble, and Walter Mattheu), and I loved how Dennis’s wagon was filled with all of his “little boy” stuff. I don’t usually go overboard on props, but… Read more »
Hike at Brown-Lowery Park
Yesterday the boys and I needed a summer outing. Inspired by the Facebook page “Taking a Hike with Your Children” (I still need to buy the book), I’ve decided to set a goal of one hike per week for the kids and I, for the rest of the summer. I thought we’d best start small,… Read more »
Family Reunion-Fun times, Great Memories Made
For the several weeks leading up to our family reunion, I had that Corb Lund song stuck in my head “Family Reunion, It’s gonna be a good one”. Well, it definitely was! Some families have fairly frequent reunions. As for my Mother-in-law’s family, the Brodie’s, they’d never had one. It was more than time to… Read more »
