These two are a wealth of inspiration, knowledge and energy, and are always willing to listen to me babble on erratically  after I have had entirely too much caffeine!

A couple month’s ago, Manifesto Photography teamed up with the Freckled Owl and The Pottery Cupboard to put together a beautiful prize package for a winning Facebook fan… which happened to be me! The prize pack consisted of a photoshoot with Manifesto, a knitted scarf from the Freckled Own and two mugs from The Pottery Cupboard! How sweet is that! This could not have come at a more perfect time! I have been snuggled into my awesome scarf (which I get complimented on all the time!) while drinking tea from my super huge mugs!  I can’t wait for the spring to get my photos done with Arica & Joshua… we are going to have a blast! Thank you again to all involved!

I haven’t done a gift giveaway online in a long time and this has certainly inspired me to pay it forward and pass along the kindness to someone else! So keep your eyes open for that in the very near future!

Another fabulous thing that has been going on in my life is the crossover from Blackberry to iPhone. I did love my blackberry… sturdy, easy to type, semi good photos… eeerk…semi good photos? Time to upgrade! A girl like me who is non-stop with the photo taking can’t settle for semi-good photos on the tool that is most accessible at any given moment!
So I now have a shinny new white iPhone which I have completely fallen in love with and clearly the camera on this thing is my favourite part!  I have so many super fun camera apps and I am highly considering making a small album of iPhone photos! How fun!

So, this is me… with my new scarf… taken with my iPhone (Hipstamatic App). Clearly.. I’m addicted to this thing! Look how fun it is!

 Stay tuned for Giveaways coming!!!

I can’t think of a more deserving person for the $25 iTunes Gift Card Giveaway. Michelle has been an avid follower of my blog, and has hired me twice for family photography. Congratulations Michelle!

In the meantime, I haven’t posted too much this past week as I have been VERY busy with work, editing and just life in general (no, my life is not that exciting!) One of the projects that I have been working on is finding great solutions for my clients to present multiple photos at once. I am pleased to announce that I will be offering 3 styles of collages including a whopping 42 image collage that would make an amazing canvas!

Here is a sample of a 9 -16 image grid collage.
