On Holidays

I'm on holidays! I'm very excited. I have the next 2 weeks free from weddings! Well, that's not entirely true. My friend Christine is getting married on July 7, 2007 and I will be standing up with her as her Maid of Honour, but I'll be on the other side of the camera!! I can't wait!

This weekend is July 1st of course - Happy Birthday Canada! - so, it's time for the annual Canada Day party at my parents house. It is always so much fun and very relaxing. If the weather co-operates we will all be enjoying a camp fire. The first of the season for me and hopefully not the last.

The last wedding that I photographed in June was a real pleasure. The couple was wonderful. So cute! They photographed so well and complimented each other so nicely. Their families and their friends were wonderful too. What a great way to end the month!

I suppose that is all for now. I'm sure I'll write another bit after Christine's wedding! I can't wait to have my hair and make-up done. I can't wait wait to look really pretty! :)

2 months have passed

Well, time sure does fly! It's been 2 months since my last post (yikes!). I'm still new to this, so please be patient.
It's been a couple busy months for Beyond The Window. Weddings and Engagement Sessions and Family Portraits have started up and there's no sign of a clear weekend until the end of October! I'm not complaining though. It's actually very fulfilling, rewarding and exciting. Jamie's brother was married this past weekend and I was very thrilled to take their photos. They looked wonderful and it was a very fun day/evening.
I was pooped by the end of the weekend. All I wanted was my bed and 24 hours of sleep...is that too much to ask? In all honesty, I was tired and still am tired. Thank God the temperature is cool outside tonight. Open the bedroom window a bit, turn down/off the heat, throw on another blanket.....ahhh. That's the recipe for a great sleep.
Well, I should scoot. I have a few things to wrap up here before bed. Good night!

First Post in 10 Seconds Or Less

I was born on March 5th, 1979 in Stratford Ontario. I have always had an interest in the arts and received my diploma in Applied Music from Mohawk College in 2002. My passion for nature and animals combined with my artistic background, have given me the unique and natural perspective found in my photography. I own a photography company in Waterloo, Ontario called Beyond The Window which has seen steady growth since its inception in 2001. My photography style is best described as diverse, with an emphasis on casually posed scenarios. I have a beautiful daughter, a lazy cat, and a great husband. Life is busy, but I wouldn't want it any other way.
