It's been while...

So I've had a hard time keeping up with my blog. For me writing isn't so easy! If I was to post only an image or two I feel like it's kinda pointless ya know!

I was at Image Quest last weekend, it's a photography conference in Richmond. I came away with alot of really valuable information. I learned about about my business. I can't wait to start putting these things into use and making my business the best that it can be FOR ME! :) Because of this you will be seeing a bunch of amazing changes as I grow.

Thank you all so much for being part of my journey. I am so blessed to in this industry and doing something that I love. Everyday.

Trash The Dress Winner :: Megan Biagioni

Hello Everyone :)

I just ran a contest that offered all woman to enter who wanted a FREE Trash The Dress session. This was a fun way to learn a bit about you and then in turn I emailed all the entrants a COUPON! And lemme tell you it was a once in a life time opportunity to get that good of a deal! So thank you all so much for taking the time to write to me!

It was incredible hard to choose as i felt there was about 4 stories that REALLY touched me and struck me with passion! However, Megan's was the one that hit me the deepest. I asked her if I could share with you her entry and she agreed. Thank you so much. Also enjoy a photo from their wedding day by the amazing Chris Scheonne!

This will be a suprise to her hubby as you will read below, so those of you that know Megan be careful not to mention it to Matt or post anything on her FB or email :P

! I cannot wait to work with you both and capture some beautiful and fun moments!

Enjoy~

PS. I found out today that Megan & I have the SAME wedding dress! Cool huh!


"August 2, 2008 [Wedding date]
I have always wanted to do something like this! I have seen many sessions on facebook of friend's that have done a trash the dress! So amazing to put that expensive dress on that you only ever get to wear once! I love love love my dress and it is currently sitting in my crawlspace :( My husband, Matt, has had to work 12 hours away in Dawson Creek. He was laid off the same month we had our daughter, Peyton, Septemeber 2009. He spent quite a few months waiting for that \"perfect\" job to pop up and it never did. When things got really tight, I made a call to my Alberta extended family, and Matt left to do production testing for the rigs 3 days later. He left the morning after our 2nd anniversary and comes home every 4-5 weeks. This is sooo hard on us both with a busy 16 month old in the picture! He misses us so much, and we miss him every day. His week home is never long enough and there are always tears in the airport when he has to leave. I would LOVE to surprise him with trash the dress photos! And of course decorate more of our walls with Jodie Lemke art work!!! Please please please consider me in your trash the dress session give away!!!! Thank you soooo much Jodie for the amazing work you have already done for us!

ps: If you reply to these, can you possible do it on facebook? Matt has access to our shaw account on his phone, and I wouldn't want him to see this! "

:: Project 52 :: 3 - Thumb sucking~

This is my boy. Tyson. He's just turned 5! I can't even believe it! Then i see him sucking his thumb and i remember hes still my baby. ;) He started this habit right from the get go! There was no stopping him. We tried everything. Thumb out, sucky in, thumb out sucky in... Then we tried Putting a sock on his hand, he learned to suck right through that sock.... We finally gave up!

But NOW WHAT! hahaha. He's gotta stop this by kindergarten... right??? I mean the poor kid is going to get teased! Got any good ideas??

Its so hard because I look at him, and I love him more than life it self and see his innocence, as soon as he takes that thumb outta his mouth..... All kinds of crazy things fly out... Girlie screams, whinny humbles, goofy giggles, sometimes I even get a kiss on the cheek ;)

Anyways I love this kid. He's my little man.
Enjoy
