Start Shoot

Last week I did a quick shoot for some friends.  It was fun to shoot in the snow for the first time, although the shoot was quick (we were done in about 20 min, cause it was COLD) I think I got some good shots!

 Below is the same shot before I made it black & white.

One day last week Charmaine & I drove around the outskirts of Sherwood Park looking for locations for shoots.  These are some of the things we found. There are a ton of old, falling down barns, houses and hays sheds like above.  These are all SOOC including the last one which is Charmaine taking a photo of me taking a photo of her!! LOL!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday





At long last I've gotten it together to post for this week's hunt!!  Here's my photos for this week:

 1. View From Above.  I took this while leaning over the banister on my way upstairs.  Poor Scout, more often than not she's the subject of my photos!!!


 This is another view from above, it's from my archives though.  It's my hubby and son.

 2. Something Hot.  Just a shot of a cup of tea I made myself the other day.  It's been around -23 here which with the wind chill feels like -34!!!!! So needless to say I've been drinking A LOT of hot tea!!!
 3. Something Cold.  This leaf almost looks sad here all wilted and covered with snow!
 4. Electronic.  My precious I-phone.  Don't know what I'd do with out it! You can't tell but it's opened to the notes page where I've entered the items for the hunt!

5. Sparkle.  Just some new christmas decorations I picked up.  Going to try to use some of the tips I learned at Christmas in November last weekend!  Hope it turns out.......



That's it for this week, next week we're searching for:

1. Black & White
2. I Ate this...
3. Historic
4. Off-centre
5.The End.

Enjoy your week everyone!!!

Christmas in November!

Here is a picture of myself with Chef Michael Smith from Food Network.  I was in Jasper (yet again!) this past weekend for Christmas in November at the Jasper Park Lodge.  I was sooo excited to go to this event as well as attend Michael Smith's class not to mention have my picture taken with him and he signed my cookbook!!!  I'm such a food nerd!!!
