A few things. First off, I only have a few dates left with guaranteed Christmas delivery, so if you were hoping for a spot, please contact me soon as I wouldn’t want to disappoint you. Second, your session is not officially booked until you pay your session fee. If you do not do that, I don’t have you on the books. Just so we’re all clear. Third, I still have a couple of spots for beautiful fall portraits in Fish Creek on Saturday–my short and sweet sessions. If you want one(and you know you do)…better get on it! It’s going to be the best weekend of the fall in Calgary!

 And, lastly, locations. I have lots of ideas and will always make some suggestions. If I say something like ‘I’ve been dying to do a shoot here’ then that is a good bet that your gallery will be large and fabulous. AND, if you have friends with an amazing piece of property that are willing to let us come and explore…DO NOT HOLD BACK ON ME!!!!!!! This is a sneak peek of a sneak peek of a shoot that took place on just such a piece of property. A hidden gem. I’ll tell you more about it in a couple of days…for now, here’s the boathouse.

Yes, boathouse…I couldn’t decide boathouse or helicopter pad picture…oh, this one was prettier;)Have a nice Monday!

Good Ol’ Summertime!!!

Sunday, September 14, 2008 Posted in My Family, Sneak Peek

This session is from sooooo long ago!!! Yikes! While we were in Saskatchewan at a family reunion this summer, I did a little mini session for my brother in law and his family. Um…ya, that was at the beginning of August. Um…ya…we are now fully in the middle of September. I’m glad they’re so patient:)I wish I had more time with them, but it was hard to convince the kids to hang out with boring me and my boring camera when they could be playing with a couple dozen kids their own age.

My brother in law…okay, I’m just going to use his name, even though I don’t as a rule..Ryan…there I said it…Ryan is a musician. Ever since he was a kid. It’s what he was born to do. Truly. He used to be in a country band called KC Jones. Not being a country fan, everytime I hear a song that they played–I’m like, oh hey! It’s a KC Jones song. Bob is always telling me who it is really singing it–ummm, no Dana, it’s a little band called ‘Alabama’ or no, no…have you ever heard of ‘_____’…I gotta say, I miss country dancing to all their ‘originals’. Now, he’s in a band called Millenia who you might hear on Ukranian hour on CFCW. They rock the Ukranian tunes hard man! If you need a Ukranian band for your wedding(or just a REALLY good band), you should give them a call!

My nephew…looking at me and asking if we’re done yet because he’d rather be connecting his ‘DS’ with his cousins than being out in the field enjoying the beauty of Sasktachewan…Ya, dude…can’t say I blame you;)

Time for shots of mom and dad…

Before their little mini session, we attempted some larger Pugh groups. This is Grandpa Pugh with his four grandkids hanging out in the yard he used to play in as a child. Yes, that is my princess daughter being difficult.

And, cousins…but also total buds. Jack adores his older cousin. Especially since just after this shot was taken, he showed him how to connect his DS to someone else’s. Thanks for being so patient guys!!! Looking forward to seeing you soon!

I saw this on Brenda’s blog http://brendaacuncius.typepad.com/my_weblog/ and I rolled on the floor laughing, so despite the fact that I was going to post a design blog, I decided to post The Heart of The Matter…always a good read and beautiful images. Happy Friday…

Remembering…

Thursday, September 11, 2008 Posted in random images

nyc-008.jpg

Bob and Georgia at the World Trade Center site in March 2006. Today marks a day which forever will mark a shift in humankind. A day when we are not seperated by nations, religion or race. A day when humans come together to remember…let us remember though how tragedies bring out the good in humanity.

 New York…it is a wonderous place with fabulously friendly and generous people. I love going there. I’m thinking of it today…as is the world.

Georgia Reluctantly Starts Preschool

Wednesday, September 10, 2008 Posted in My Family

It’s true. She was reluctant, but today was her second day and, even though a few tears were shed, it’s all she can talk about. And, I can tell that she is proud that she did it all by herself. This was Monday…

A pre-preschool hot chocolate(yes, it’s already that time of year here). A note that she totally dressed herself and would NOT turn her hat around.

Waiting to go inside…

The hat…the hair…Georgia listening to her teacher.

And, painting me a picture. A full day. This past week or so has been a pretty big adjustment for our household. Bob and I are used to running around and doing whatever we want. It is finally clear that we now have to bend to their schedules. Hockey, ballet, school…and Starbucks;)

ETA: Bob wants to say that we haven’t gotten to do whatever we want for some time…what I meant was, we have always just taken off for Edmonton(home) or to the mountains(not as much as we’d like), but now things are so crazy with kid things that I think that might slow down a bit!
