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 »

Love is in the Air-Our Epic Valentines Card Creations
I got the idea to create my kids’ Valentines Cards that they hand out to their friends after reading a Blog post last year on SLR Lounge. I’m certainly not the only Mom to make their kids’ Valentines. I just love seeing all the creativity out there of parents and their children, that comes to… 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…
Today was our annual, “Let’s try to get a decent winter portrait of you boys in time for Christmas”, kids portrait session, with my boys. 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

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 »
Perspectives
Just a little photo share today, of my son David, blowing dandelion fuzz in the field at my home studio, near Millarville. Although we as adults have been geared to hate dandelions, the sunny yellow flowers, and now the puffy magical seeds are irresistible for kids. My kids have been picking me dandelion bouquets for… Read more »
Heritage Park-Fun Summer Outings
Friday was the first glorious day of summer we’d had in quite awhile. The first warm, sunny day after a long week of rain and downpours. And we were super excited to enjoy our outing in the sun. The fabulous moms and kids of Millarville Playgroup met at Heritage Park, in Calgary for our year… Read more »
