An Inspirational 3 Days {Tidbits}

Countless times in the last 3 days I found my heart racing, my eyes well up and got one of those pen marks on my fingers from writing so much. Why? Because I was at the 3 day ImageQuest Wedding/Portrait Photographer's conference held at the River Rock Casino.

I attended sessions put on by great speakers such as Dane Sander from Santa Barbara who had a room full of photographers choking up with emotion within the first 10 minutes of his presentation. I was excited for the presentation of Vancouver's premier wedding photographers Miranda & Reilly of Blue Olive Photography (www.blueolivephotography.com).They are a wealth of information and their presentation was a blast!

The last presenter was Jasmine Star (www.jasmine-star.com), one of the most sought after wedding photographers in California and named one of the top 10 wedding photographers in 2009. I absolutely LOVE her work and I'll admit it, I've blog-stalked her for about a year.. so you can imagine how excited I was to learn from her and meet her in person! Haha...yes, it was kinda like meeting a celebrity or for a Vancouverite to meet Luongo in person. Jasmine was amazing, and her story of why she started photography just 4 short years ago really hit a chord with me.

I came out of the 3 day conference feeling a bit more complete than I had lately. The sessions were inspirational and I was reminded of how I fell in love with photography.

Engagement Sessions Have Started!

With the early arrival of cherry blossoms this year, engagement sessions have started early this year!

Here's a sneak preview from my good friend Tracy, who I've known since grade 8, and hubby-to-be Pat's engagement session...their furry baby Dante joined us in the second half and it became a puppy session before I knew it!





Here's Dante-puppy who is oh so cute :) I can't believe he's already 5 years old though!

Go Canada! Canada vs USA for GOLD!

Vancouver 2010 Olympics: Day 5

Gosh, it's already day 5 of the Olympics. We waited for 7 years for the Olympics to arrive in Vancouver and now we're already almost a third done!

My favorite sport to watch during the Olympics is figure skating by far...I think it's every girl's dream to glide gracefully and twirling around on the ice in a sequined costume.

I was lucky to get tickets (special thanks to Elizabeth!) to the practice and so I went with my camera on hand and was blown away by the pairs teams.

Love the emotion on the ice.

Red Celebrations!

Lots going on today! It's the day of RED... red for sweet Valentine's, red for Chinese New Years and red for Canada winning gold for the first time on Canadian soil! Lots to celebrate today!
