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. Like maybe kayaking. That’s better.

Rocks & Seaweed

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, the sea was so much more alluring… The best part was jumping on 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. 👍 Pit stops aren’t just for bathroom breaks and grabbing a snack. They’re also for climbing on rocks and photo shoots. There are still …

Three is Definitely Harder Than One

April 12, 2022 by Jacquie

When I did a photo shoot last week with Levi 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 and …

Zoom Lens, How I Love Thee

April 3, 2022 by Jacquie

[TO EDIT: Placeholder post to organize my thoughts] This gorgeous wild thing lives in the woods behind my mom’s house. He doesn’t let anyone get close (have I mentioned how much I love my big zoom lens?😍), just comes out for food and takes off again.

I Shot My First Squirrel!

March 29, 2022 by Jacquie

I finally took the time to try out Dad’s big zoom lens for the first time. I had never changed a camera lens before, so it seemed really intimidating and I kept putting it off because I didn’t want to break anything. Turns out it’s super easy. Thank you, YouTube! So this handsome little guy …

Let’s Start with Cats

March 26, 2022 by Jacquie

I knew for sure that I want to do photography with people and/or animals. Landscapes, nature that doesn’t move, inanimate objects and buildings just don’t capture my fancy that much. So just to start getting a handle on how to use the camera, it made the most sense to start with my dear Rumble and …
