Today I spent the day on Whyte Ave in Edmonton and capped the evening off with a great live show at The Pawn Shop. Rural Alberta Advantage, Wooden Sky, and The Great Bloomers all rocked. So here's the love;

If you're the guy that gave us a free ticket to the early show,

I love you.

If you are the starbucks barrista who made a cute little joke about my sneeze and made me smile,

I love you.

If you're dating my sister in law and are sweet to her and her family plus make me laugh 'til I snort,

I love you.

If you're Jenn, the photographer who took my email so you could send me picutres from the show,

I love you.

If you're a guy who can pull off skinny jeans,

I love you.

If you're the waitress who made your way through the crowd at the show to bring us drinks,

I love you.

If you're the girl who flicked your hair in my face repeatedly to try and move me out of my good spot,

I don't love you and you should try to be nicer.

The following are a few images of the bands we saw tonight. I didn't take any of them and don't know who did so I can't credit them.

I always wanted a sister growing up, a soul mate who could share in my every fancy and every passion. Then I met Devin that all sorta just fell away. Devin became that person in my life. What I never expected was that I would gain the sisters I longed for as part of the deal.

Every year I love Devin more than the year before. And every year I don't think it's possible to love anymore but I just do. It's the same for his sisters. We've always gotten along, but every year I feel closer to them and love them more. After 13 years with Devin it's hard to remember life without my sisters. It's like they've always been there.

This past summer I photographed Kylie, Devin's youngest sister, with her boyfriend Andrew in Edmonton. It's funny how much Andrew and Devin are alike. If they were the same age I'd swear they were separated at birth... more on that next time.

It was so warm this morning that we almost didn't find frost. Don't be fooled though, Rissa still froze her butt off standing out in the wind in a skirt. She's such a trooper and I think her efforts were well worth it. We managed to make some fabulous images. Here's a sneak peek;

I was nervous to even post that I needed help to try and win this bag. What if no one responded? This was a serious consideration. I didn't win the Kelly Moore Bag, but have never felt so great about losing. With over 40 comments on my blog post and almost as many on Kelly's, I'm blown away at how many people lent their time and support. I'm reminded again of just how lucky I am to do what I do and cross paths with so many fabulous people like you.

FABULOUS DEALS FOR FABULOUS PEOPLE

As a thank you for your support I'm offering $50 off any session booked between now and February 10th. Also anyone purchasing prints between now and then can purchase them at 2009 prices.

Here are a few images from a fall family session;

static_uri=%2Fdarkroom%2Fmt%2Fmt%2Dstatic%2F&data=%2Fblogshow%2Ddata%2F4b43ef7bb6fd3%2Fimage%2Etable%2Edat&slideshow=0&ssr=1&autofit=0&show_width=900&show_height=600

I love New Years. It falls over you like a fresh layer of snow; clean, untouched, ready to be moulded into whatever my heart desires.

In 2009, I hit the ground running and I ran and ran and ran. When I stopped running, about a week and a half ago, and looked back I was surprised by what I felt. I'm glad 2009 is over. I have little attachment to the events of the past year. Few events and sessions really stand out in my mind and those will be the ones we continue with this year. Mostly it has been a blur of constant rushing to get caught up. It makes me sad. I bit off more than I could chew and as a result I missed out on cultivating relationships, new and old. My apologies to my clients, my friends, my loved ones.

But now, a fresh slate! This year I resolve to watch the snow fall, the grass grow, and the sun set. This year I resolve to worry less and laugh more. This year I resolve to hug my clients and make new friends. This year I resolve to tell Devin everyday what an amazing man he is.

The following images are from my favourite event of 2009; my trip to visit my friends in Mississippi.
