You gotta love the weather in Alberta, especially when it snows at the end of May, You what they say, “if you don’t like the weather in Alberta, just wait 5 minutes.”

Meet Ben and Carrie, an awesome couple that are so in love.  This was one of my favorite shots of the entire wicked engagement shoot – it captures every drop of feelings they have for each other.  I can’t wait till the wedding in July, it’s in the mountains :)

Today was the 50 year anniversary of Goldbar Elementary School. I went there from K to 6 and haven’t been back since. I just love the way the human mind works, well at least the way my mind works. I find it just amazing how I was able to access memories from over 30 years ago as if it were just yesterday. I wonder if anyone has ever tried to measure how much memory the human brain has in computer terms – how many terabytes? To see the the place where I first kissed a girl (who’s name I still remember), or to see where I had my first school yard fight, the strap, the death needle for immunizations, dodge ball . . . the list goes on. These hallways are full of so many memories for so many children over the past 50 years, kinda cool when you think about it!

#336 – The Pilot

May 25, 2010

I had an amazing engagement shoot today with Ben and Carrie! Ben is a pilot, just in case you didn’t get that from this image and the title of the image. This is probably my favorite location to date for an engagement shoot, OK I’m a little bias seeing as though I was a pilot myself a while back. I will be posting some images from the shoot over the next couple of days on my blog – please feel free to click on the link above to check them out if you like. Ahh, wedding season has officially begun :)

Even though it was kind of a rainy day today, it was a great day for a track meet.  Any day that school is canceled for an event is a good day.

#326 – Lawnmower Man

May 14, 2010

I must say, it is pretty cool to hear the lawn mower running in the backyard and not being the one that is pushing it.  Thanks son!

#325 – Lawn Ninja

May 13, 2010

Now that the nice weather is here and it looks to stay I am finding myself outside more looking for wicked light.  Nothing beats the golden hour sprinkled with a little bokeh.

I don’t want to jinx it but I think it is here for good now.  After last weeks snowfall, anything can happen but let’s cross our fingers that it is over for at least a couple of months.
