early blessing.

January 25, 2010

This little man decided to surprise everyone with his arrival at 27 weeks.  Mom was sent to Edmonton, where his delivery was held off for a couple of days, but he really wanted to meet the world, and his loving mom and dad.  For almost 3 months he stayed in hospital, with mom by his side.  The community really came together with an outpouring of support.  The elementary school where mom works, got going on fundraising and the gathering of baby items, among other things.  The family was able to stay in a condo while baby was in hospital, money was raised to help support their stay there and get started on things for baby.  It just really goes to show the love and support of people.  Such a touching story, it made it to the local paper back in early November…

I was touched to be asked to do the photos when baby finally came home from the hospital.  So although he is 3 months old now, he weighs in at almost 9 lbs.

It was so wonderful to meet you, all of you.  Thank you so much. :)

OK, so their not an Oiler fan family... but really who can blame them? ;)

Hi!  I just thought i would take a minute to pay some attention to the blog!  Not that i am ignoring it… just finishing up a couple sessions hoping to post those soon!  In the meantime, i thought it would be ok for me to just chat with you and keep in touch!

I’m not exactly sure what i wanted to talk about, i was hoping it would just come to me as i type… and re-type ;) .

Let’s start with some thoughts, mine first.  Then i would love to hear from you.  I have exciting thoughts, looking forward to the months ahead, the sessions booked, the photography workshops (which is always fun, i think photography is something a person could learn about forever, there can be just sooooo much to it!), i am actually excited for all opportunities.  When you find something you love for yourself, the drive to improve and keep learning is so profound.  It’s just so challenging and fun!  I mean, i never felt this way throughout school.  I just did it, the best i could and graduated.  But now, holy, if i only had the money, i would be investing in so much photography gear, traveling, meeting new people and mentors!  I am excited this year to be learning and creating through the weddings, engagement, family and glamour shoots i have booked.  When i say this i mean learning both creatively and about the people i photograph.  I love the connection i feel with the people in front of the camera.  So one of my goals is to keep in touch, with all those who touch me.  I really want to encourage people to keep in touch with me too and ask questions about anything!

Also, i am excited about our trip to Mexico with the kids and our best friends in May , and the camping-evey-weekend summer!  (I leave from the camp site to go to weddings, almost always!)

I’m excited about the goals i have set out for myself personally and professionally…

So, what about you?  You can always connect with me on facebook too, the link to my facebook page for Moments Photography by Allison is the little button at the top.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.  It’s not too often i take the time to reflect personally on the blog.  I have always thought of this blog as a place for my business, but i think every now and then people want to know the real person behind the client posts…  I think i will try and take more time to do just that…

Ok.  Seriously, people like this make my job pretty much as easy as it gets… the only problem is, I just get so carried away, that i end up with a million shots, that i really have the WORST time weeding out.  In other words, we shot for just over something like 2 hours, I shot about 420 pictures and after going through them, i still ended up with 114.  I couldn’t help it.  Look at her.  Well, she does have fun in front of the camera!

Her sister bought her a gift certificate for a session as she had just opened a brand new hair salon in Killam, she figured it would be a perfect gift to congratulate her!  The name of the salon… Underground Hair.

Congrats on your new venture, all the best, always.  Thanks so much for the fun AND the great shots!!

Happy New Year

January 4, 2010

I just wanted to take this time to wish all of you all the best for 2010.  I love this time, a chance to look forward, a time to remember, to get excited for all that the new year has to hold, even if we don’t exactly know.  I’m excited for all this year has to bring!  When i look ahead, i am already starting to account for the weekends that aren’t already booked, and plan all of our family things, including home projects, camping and get-a-ways!  I can’t wait for the weddings this year and the other sessions that are scheduled!  Thank you so much to you, those who keep me clicking away, doing something that i just can’t get enough of, you make this possible!  I look forward to your life events, that you invite me to be a part of!

I wanted to sum up 2009… CHEERS! :D family2009engwedglam2009
