Today I got to photograph one of my favorite little girls and her mum (who is expecting) & dad. So.Much.Fun.
I had a hard time choosing what to post; there were so many great shots. Here are couple of sneak peaks… ENJOY!

A quick holiday always means a “mini” project…I set out to capture some “Quintessentially Texas” images in colour on my Holga. Unfortunately, Helga is a finicky minx and all of the indoor images I took were black. A terrible disappointment, for certain. But, getting to learn the intricacies of Helga was something I really wanted to accomplish this year, so I will chalk it up as a learning experience.
Until I am able to get a proper scan of the images I was able to capture, I invite you to enjoy some images I took on my iPhone.

I started taking classes at the School of the Photographic Arts: Ottawa (SPAO) almost 3 years ago. Initially it was more about getting out of the house than it was the desire to hone my photographic skills, but as I continued my studies, I have really enjoyed the process. The classes force me out of my comfort zone & have made me do more experimenting. I need that creative outlet; I go a little stir crazy without it.
Back in November, I decided that I wanted to try my hand at some dark room work. So in January I started taking the Back to Basics: Film course. I got off to a rocky start; ruining my first roll of film due to improper spooling. I have had better luck over the last month and have managed to make 3 successful test prints.
For those who care about these sort of things, these images were shot on my Holga (that I’ve nicknamed Helga) on Ilford FP4Plus 125 speed film.
Hydro - An image I printed for my good friend, Bobo.
Cranky Bear - My cranky son, after a long walk through the woods.
Temporary - A temporary mailbox on my street.
I am traveling late this week and next… and since I have a need for little projects, I hope to have more images to share with you from Helga in the next few weeks.

Across the globe, people know hockey to be the great Canadian pasttime; there is no exception in this house. Even being from Texas, I have been a hockey fan for years, well before I met my Canadian husband. My husband and both of our boys play hockey, although at this point the youngest only plays hockey in the basement with his dad & brother. It is ingrained in their brains and is a part of most of their days. Our youngest still believes he’s going to grow up to be a hockey player… AND a goalie. The dreams of an (almost) four year old.
This isn’t about the dreams of a child, it’s about the dreams of my husband. When my husband was in his teens, he played in nets. I’m not sure why he ever stopped, but as he got older and played in beer leagues, he usually played forward. About a year ago, he decided to try to relive his childhood dream and go back in goal. He has had a lot of fun in net… and two weeks ago he had his first shut out. I was there to capture a few images & compiled them in a collage for him.
Congratulations, honey!
