Well I spent the weekend in the very quiet city of Winnipeg with my sister.  It was super hot and hopefully all of you reading this post had a chance to enjoy the weather and go for a swim in the lake!  Didn’t get out to photograph anything on the weekend but did get some inspiration for my next wedding coming up in 2 weeks.  I’m really excited about this next wedding, they are a super fun couple and I wish them all the best as they put the rest of their plans together. Before I leave you here is an image from a wedding I photographed in Beaty Park in Keewatin, Ontario

It’s a beautiful Sunday afternoon for relaxing on the deck at the cabin and watching the loons frolicking on the lake.

Yesterday morning I had the privilege of photographing a family that had gathered for a special celebration.  We went out to McLeod Park here in Kenora, Ontario to take in the beautiful backdrop of  Lake of the Woods.  The light was so beautiful with a bit of cloud cover which made for really  soft light and rich colors.

People often think that you have to have a bright sunny day to photograph outdoors but the truth is that slightly overcast or hazy days are the best as the sun is filtered, diffusing it into really soft light which really makes the colors “POP”.  I’ll post some images soon so you can see what I mean.

Hope everyone’s having a great weekend and soaking up the sunshine!

Happy Birthday!

It was mine & my sister’s birthday this week.  So, Happy Birthday to my sister Arlene…it will never matter how old I get, you’ll always be older.  My mom and sister went to M&E  Strawberry Farm on Monday to pick up some fresh, incredibly delicious, juicy strawberries that we used on our cake.  Mmmmmm!  Sorry, it’s all gone now but you can drool over it!

Happy Canada Day!

It’s a hot one out there today, I was hoping to catch some of the festivities here in Kenora but there are NONE!  Go figure, apparently everything is in Keewatin this year.  Oh well, hope I was the only one that didn’t know and no one else missed out.  But, I am looking forward to the Symphony on Saturday night, rumor has it that the fire works are being set off to music!  Won’t that be cool.  Can’t wait!
