Food, Photography & Fun
Being a second shooter kind of feels like cheating. Capturing what’s happening around me is fairly straightforward when I have an expert photographer telling everyone what to do (and having an actual model as the bride helps too!). All I have to do is tag along. The real challenge will be learning how to be …
I’ve never been much of a beach person, but it turns out I just didn’t have the right beach gear. Stalking seagulls with a camera is where it’s at! And random strangers, but I make it look like I’m really after the birds 😉 Not a stranger: Of course, a trip to the beach is …
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 …
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 …
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… 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. 👍
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.
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 …
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 🙂
