Follow my blog with bloglovin

Flipping through a local business magazine, my husband - Ben - came across this bloglovin.com site.  I am super excited about it, because I learn a lot of great information from health blogs, get inspiration from photography blogs, and good ideas from homemaking blogs. The problem is that my "bookmarks" are not organized enough for me...so I avoid them. And I just can't remember all the blogs I love...now this is great, one place to check and see who has updated or not....easy peasy!

Make sure you add mine too!

Fields of Delight : Jock, Gemma, and Owen

There is something amazing about a sunset, a field, and a gorgeous, loving family. Last week I had the opportunity to take some really special photos. Gemma and I met one another at playgroup, and having photography in common, we had a lot to talk about right away! Even if we weren't both photographers, I would still love to be around her. Both she and her husband - Jock - are two of the most sincere and generous people you will meet. Gems has really encouraged me in my passion for photography, and has given me really good tips with photographing newborns. She has even let me use her gear and props for sessions I have here! Although I was nervous taking family portraits for a photographer, I also am so happy I got to do this session for Gemma.  I know that as a photographer, it is pretty hard to do your own family portraits! Stay tuned, she is going to do ours in a few weeks! How lucky am I?

Gems I am sure going to miss you when we leave! It is starting to hit me that we leave in 3 months!

I hope that you, Jock, and Owen love your images for years to come. You have no idea how hard it was for me to narrow down which few to share on my blog! You truly are such a beautiful family. xo











Get ready for my favourite!!

FINALLY! Photographers Speak Out!

If you are a photographer out there, specifically a CANON user, I think you will appreciate this post. I frequent the blog of Jessica Claire, and she recently put up a post called "Doing the best I can". Ever since I finished my School of Photography in Kona, Hawaii in 2007, I have had problems with getting the sharpness in my photos that I believed I should have achieved with all the tips that my instructor had equipped me with....(The best gift he equipped me with was a critical eye. Not sharp? Not good. ) Her post says it all, and I am relieved (yet still frustrated) to know that it is not just me or my fault (most of the time ).

Sometimes you just can be too hard on yourself...it has been a journey! Lots of photos to come, I promise. I have them saved up. Keep checking back in the next week!

Cheers,

Chelsa
