it’s my birthday

I pretty much let everyone know. This morning, I told the lady at the farmer’s market while Jack and I picked out my cake, I told the girls at Tonic while I purchased a new jacket for tonight, I told the guy waiting in the starbucks lineup * he is from Calgary and his wife’s birthday is tomorrow. See I was lucky and he mentioned his wife which totally gave me an in!* and now I am telling you. I don’t just blurt it out, you know I find a way to slip it into the conversation. It’s sort of embarrassing actually, the fact that I MUST tell everyone I see that day. I guess I like the attention. Ya think?

I just realized I forgot to tell the staff  at Park Cafe, weird.

tuesday madness

It’s madness because I am working already, and I love it, and I’m not supposed to be, but I NEED to! It’s great to get out and get creative!

I photographed Beth Arrison this past Tuesday, before the bitter cold struck. She had a concert that night at Lydia’s which I am sure was terrific. If only I could have stayed up late enough or brought Piper with me. Honestly, you can’t bring a baby into a bar, I don’t get it…

I worked with my assistant Karly, Jennilee Shultz for makeup, we shot at the SCYAP gallery on 3rd ave downtown, Chop Chop Salon and in and around the area.

And Piper slept the entire time I was gone, she just knew.

Leader Impact

I had the pleasure of attending a Leader Impact Forum last week with speaker John Neate. Be sure to look him up, he is the owner of JJBean.

I am technically not working right now, but being that this was volunteer and had great food and a great speaker, I thought why not. Plus it was BYOB, baby that is. Piper and I went to work, and she didn’t even wake up the entire time. Lovely.

Here are a few pics from the event, be sure to go to one if you get the chance! I think they happen 4 times a year. You can find more info here.
