Some Westfalia lovin'

Kim & Jamie got themselves a Westfalia, and so begins a new chapter of being "hippies" on Vancouver Island.

Kim is learning how to drive standard, and Mike was giving her some tips. I gotta say though - Kimmy, you are doing quite fantastically...

Penny loves the "new" van...


Sorry Kim, the sun ate up your legs... ;)




We spent the day driving around Duncan gathering groceries for our bbq and the evening wih friends. It was great having Julie, Mike & their new pup - Jack sleepover that evening for Mikes birthday, and I seriously can't believe I never took photos of their adorable golden lab! He is the cutest... After dark we went down to the dock to watch the meteor showers, and it was the perfect end to a perfect day!

Thanks friends!

Life is Crazy right now...



Mike and I just got back from another visit to Calgary. This one was only a week, which was just perfect! I'm excited AND dreading the amount of images that I have saved on my computer right now from our last 4 photo sessions, there are THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of images to edit. During a full wedding day Mike and I will take close to 3000 photos!! Yes, we are indeed a bit snap happy. I love being able to capture the exact right moment with digital. And I would be lying if I said I wasn't obsessed about the feeling of the shutter rapidly firing with the touch of my finger during those magical moments.

A lot of people think that being a photographer is just so simple, fun and easy - because really you only have to work a few days a week, but my goodness it is so not the truth. I will spend about 15 hours on each project after the wedding day is finished, and I am happy to report that I have cut this amount of time down from about 30 hours. I was playing doctor a lot then trying to to fix up imperfect photos, but time and hands on experience has taught me an incredible amount - cutting this time down a lot. Now if only I could learn to keep my camera STRAIGHT! (My biggest weakness in photography -I will admit.) I am totally in love with this business, but I would love some time for me again!!
I have to go get those images together and make some blog posts!!

And just for fun...
