I'm Back ! ! !

Hey Everyone, I recently came to realize that I have not posted anything on here in a long time.  This realization actually came about when someone asked me if I was still taking pictures, because they had not seen any on here in a while.  Well the answer is, YES, I'm still taking pictures, and I still love it!  The truth is, this year I have been doing a bit of everything, from spending time with family and friends, to doing renovations on our house, to helping a friend plan her wedding, to just hanging out ...oh, and work, but thats no fun to talk about!
So for this post, I figured we could all catch up!  You will find a variety of pictures taken so far in 2011. 

First of all, I got new studio lighting!!So I enlisted some family members to practice on! 

 My Cousin Brent

Brent and his mom Viola

 

My cousins Brent & Mallory ( Mallory is Brent's godchild)

The next few pictures were taken out home when I was babysitting Mallory for Vivian!

Here are a few pictures capturing the building of our new patio, and showing the finished product!  Also, a few showing the spare room that I painted...I forgot to do a before shot of the room, but use your imagination...it was all contractor beige! 

In July, both Jamie and myself were part of a wedding, and were thrilled to do so.  Here are a few pictures from the rehearsal dinner, and a few from the wedding ( these two pictures were taken by Madonna's aunt Margaret).  Thanks again to Madonna and Curtis for having us be part of your special day! 

 Andrew is married to Curtis' cousin Michelle, and is not from Newfoundland.  At the rehearsal party, the night before the wedding, Andrew had the chance to eat his first ever cold plate! So this HAD to be captured as a picture!!

Phyllis getting bite by bite feedback, on Andrew's cold plate experience. 

On the way back to town after the wedding, Jamie and I were talking about how we had never been to many of the communities on the Burin Peninsula, even tho we had passed by them many many times.  It was a nice day, so we decided to drive out through the community of Garden Cove.  I want to say it was your typical Newfoundland finishing community with a view. And it even has its own tourist attraction...theres this little shed at the end of the community, that is decorated with all kinds of things!  Take a look!

Finally before Jamie left to go back to work, we decided to take in some of the festivities of George Street Festival!  Here are a couple pictures I took during the Masterless Men's performance.  What a fun night!!

So thats what you missed!  Stay tuned for more blog posts in the near future.  I've had a couple sessions, that I hope to get posted soon, and another few to do in the next few weeks!
