I have moved!

come find me at my new home

HERE

you have to love a girl who is such a good sport and will agree to a snowy photo shoot on a saturday afternoon , just because. it was -13 c with a wind chill of -25c when we took these.i am not sure how many minutes we were out there but it was me that had to run back to the van because my hands were screaming in pain and starting to freeze.snow pictures always look so quiet and romantic but the reality is quite different.thank-you Bronte for being willing to scream and laugh and then run for cover with me.

Out of the bosom of the Air, Out of the cloud-folds of her garments shaken, Over the woodlands brown and bare, Over the harvest-fields forsaken, Silent, and soft, and slow Descends the snow.

it has been a year since i took some shots of Christian so i was glad we could squeeze a little shoot in over the holidays.it was windy and icy so we  went and shot inside the framing of the house that he helped build this summer.

sometimes things just make  you stop and stare, you are not sure why... they just captivate. in the middle of your busy or mundane day... you pause.

Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose.

quiet

In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan, 

Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone; 

Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow, 

In the bleak midwinter, long ago. 

I had the most relaxing holiday. It is funny how removing yourself from your life , even a few city blocks  , can allow you to forget , regroup and gain perspective. I spent an entire afternoon by the fire going over the Branding section of my redleafstudio workshop and making an inspiration board on Pinterest. I hope your Holidays provide some quiet moments. 

People are like stained-glass windows.  They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within.  ~Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Frosty inspiration

I deperately miss having the time to pick up my camera and do something creative and beautiful.
Wearing Carharts every spare minute and doing constuction work is not the same LOL.
Now more than ever I love to take a coffee break and admire the work that some of my fellow photogs are doing these days , it truly feeds my soul.
