Prom Season!

I have decided that high school proms are starting to be more like weddings. They certainly cost almost as much! Dresses that only little girls could dream of complete with the best transportation possible... I had a grad arrive to the grand march in a helicopter!! Certainly a once in a lifetime photography opportunity. And at first feelings of amazement at the amount of hoopla surrounding this event put me a little off my game.

Why couldn't it have been so fun when I graduated? Well, for one, there were over 450in my graduating class. It would have taken forever to parade through one at a time, each grad getting the attention they deserve.There is certainly an advantage in attending a small school. I already have big plans for photographing the event next year... hmmm... what can outdo a helicopter? See how easy it is to fall prey to thought of one-up-manship??

A special thank you the Upper Mirimichi Regional High School, the O'Hara and Hayes families in Stanley and the Stanley High School Principal for their support.

I Can Do Anything!!!

My new website is up and running!! This may not be as exciting for you as it is for me, but you can pretend :o) I have spent MANY hours obsessed with the smallest of details and while I do not claim it is the best site you have ever seen, I do think it's great for the total lack of web design skills and knowledge I have! But I learned. If it were possible I would have the Dixie Chicks' "Taking the Long Way Around" song playing in the background while you read. Wait!!! IS that something I can do?

Nothing in life is possible without friends, both old and new. A big thank you to my boys who posed patiently and who did without my time on too many occasions this past month. Thanks to my always friend Lori and her three beautiful children who you will find in various locations throughout the site. To Nicole, Cheryl, Michelle, Kerri, & Michaela - your children's photos have added greatly to the new look I have hoped for. Again, and for many reasons, thanks to Wendy and her impeccible eye for the little things. And to Jessika Belliveau at Design (Website & Logo) for her web skills, as I would not be able to have everyone see my hard work without them.

To celebrate I have added a few more pics from my session with this little cutie. When she stepped out of the van dressed like this I could hardly control my excitement. I had what I needed after the first 5 shots. Twenty two taken ... 21 keepers. This beautiful preschooler has the attitude it takes to make great photos. You can see more of this session on my main site.
