Wedding Weekend Marathon

June 19, 2022 by Jacquie

For about half of my childhood, my dad worked a side hustle as a wedding photographer. I can’t even count the number of weddings I went to, just to tag along so I could help carry his camera gear. But mostly I just wanted to see all the pretty dresses. Trips after school to the …

Surprise Visitors from Away

June 9, 2022 by Jacquie

Whenever I have my camera with me, I’m always drawn to the kids. I think it’s because they’re not old enough yet to be annoyed and roll their eyes when the camera comes out again… They just like the extra attention. In this case, my double cousin came from really far away for a visit …

Nice Strangers

June 1, 2022 by Jacquie

During my trip to New Brunswick my friends arranged for me to do a very informal photo shoot with their new friends, who I had never met before, just for an opportunity to practice. It’s much easier when there are no expectations, but I’m pretty happy with how these turned out for a first try …

C is for Cold

May 18, 2022 by Jacquie

C is for cold… This was before they were cold. Water in May is cold. C is also for crazy. Because crazy people go in cold water and think it’s fun. C is also for chicken. That’s me. I’ll stay warm and dry, thank you. Kayaking. That’s better. 👍

Nature’s Playground

May 17, 2022 by Jacquie

We spent half a day exploring St. Andrews by-the-Sea and I didn’t realize until too late that I have very few photos from the actual town. It’s obviously by the sea, and the sea was so enticing… The best part was rambling over rocks and seaweed while the tide was low. Digging for clams.

New Brunswick Homestead

May 17, 2022 by Jacquie

I have to admit I was more than a little devastated when my new friends up and moved 16 hours away. Now they’re setting up the homesteading life I always imagined for myself, and seeing it firsthand it’s hard to be mad at them for leaving me. It’s such a lovely place, I can totally …

New Brunswick is on the Cartwheel Map!

May 17, 2022 by Jacquie

I’ve always wanted to visit the Maritimes but it just never happened till now. I can finally add New Brunswick to my cartwheeling map. Definitely going back for PEI, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland… but I might end up in NB a few more times first 🙂

Take a Picture of Me!

May 17, 2022 by Jacquie

Seeing as how I have no offspring and I’m not really a kid person, I wasn’t quite sure how travelling with a seven-year-old would go down. Turns out it’s pretty great. Travelling with this kid isn’t just about washroom breaks and snacks. It also involves photo shoots on all the rocks at every pit stop. …

Three is Definitely Harder Than One

April 12, 2022 by Jacquie

When I did a photo shoot last week with the boy and his chickens, I couldn’t believe how easy it was. Who said kid photography was hard?? Well it turns out it’s much easier to get one kid to do what you want than three, all at the same. BUT this was so much fun …
