Something New...

Good evening all!!

Just wanted to post, as I have been extremely busy and finally have a second to breathe!!!  This last week has been exhausting, but so amazing!!!  My girlfriend from work got married on Saturday... So my journey to Prince Albert began early in the a.m. but was so worth it... She was a beyond beautiful bride, and I am so happy for her and her new hubby... words cannot describe!!!
Yesterday was busy also as it is back to school time, and school supply shopping needed to get done!! The I had a session with a family that I know very well, and love very dearly... They were my first shot at the back lit stuff, and I am loving out so far, even if its not turning out perfect on the first try... I will get there!!!
When you work a 40 hour a week job, and try to keep photography going on the side, it can be tiring!!! But I love it anyway, because tired or not, photography is such a huge passion, I could never imagine giving it up!!

So over the course of the last few weeks I have been reading up a lot on Back lit Photography, and purchased a book last night about exposure in general as I believe it is something you can't know enough about!!  It is a fantastic book, and I would recommend it to every photographer I know!!!

His instruction is very easy to understand, and it is definitely money well spent!! (Go out and buy it folks!!:))

I am very excited to get into different types of exposure, and am looking for people that are willing to let me practise on them!!
In the past few days, I have also found quite a few new spots that will be great locations for fall & or winter photos!!
I can wait to have photography as my full time job so I can do something that i truly love to do, and do nothing but get better at it!!!

Goodnight loves,
Hope everyone is doing well.

Talk soon,

Mark & Kim Sneak Peek

On a very rainy Friday I headed over to Kim's place to photograph her getting ready for her wedding... I hadn't spent much time with her before the big day so I really spent the day getting to know her, all her bridesmaids, and her wonderful little ones!! 

We toughed through the rain, and ended up doing the majority of her photos inside, but by the end of the day it had cleared up just enough for us to get a few great shots outside with her and her groom!! 

I am finally starting to get her photos edited and wanted to post a sneak peek for her, and for all of you to see, so we can all witness the love that these two are in :)

Such a gorgeous pair!!!

May they live happily ever after....

Starting Fresh

Well, I have started completely a new... Deleted my old blog (and started this one, of course :)), changed email addresses, updated my Facebook Page and finally ordered the business cards I've been talking about ordering for ages!!!

I am 100% determined to make photography my full time job so I can finally do something I love all the time, rather than it being a part time job/hobby...

Photography is such a huge part of my life... I have such a passion for it, and can't wait to get it going!!

Up until now, I have only been doing it on the side as I still work a 40 hour a week job... But that is all about to change!!!

I have posted my price list, and will be posting more as the days come with upcoming specials!!!
