I had such a great time photographing the Oveson’s fiftieth wedding anniversary. The have a really fun (and musically talented family)! All the live music was provided by the family band, entirely composed of kids and grandkids.

You can see more here.

So, this week was my birthday and I’m feeling quite grown up. This is largely due to the fact that said birthday coincided with my last week working at Publications & Graphics, which means that I am now 100% self employed!

Though I’ll miss my job and my awesome co-workers, I’m really excited to be able to totally devote myself to my business.

I’ve got big plans for improvements, so you can expect to see:

-A mega website revamping

-Some much needed portfolio updates

-Pricing adjustments I think you’ll like

-New offerings (did someone say hair and makeup styling for engagements/bridals? YESSSS!)

-And of course, much more of yours truly

Are you excited? I most certainly am.

We’re in the middle of a surge of tomatoes and zucchini and though I’m scrambling to find new recipes to use them all, I totally love eating fresh from the garden.

The botanical gardens in Montreal are some of the best I’ve ever been to. I used to go all the time when I was a kid.

Here are just a few from the greenhouses.
