Snow Day!

I love the change in season, from hot to cool…. and even freezing! I love it when everything is covered in a blanket of white, and if you look at the snow at dusk by streetlight it sparkles. Today it snowed, big, fat, perfect snowflakes, and Marco was in heaven. I let him go out in the backyard to jump around 2 feet of snow, and he waited outside the door for me to come out and play too: Looking at my feet…yeah that’s right Marco, I’m not wearing any shoes, so no, I’m not coming outside with you. I closed the door…but he...

New Beginnings New Adventures

Things have been incredibly busy around here as it’s now January 21, and I’m still wrapping up projects from 2010. A big thank you to everyone for being so understanding and patient with me while I get through the photos and album designs. { Who knew being a full time mommy + full time entrepreneur would be so time consuming! } I’ll be announcing some changes regarding work (my availability, turnaround time etc) in a little bit, but for right now I want to talk about something else Something much more fun. I received the most incredible Christmas...

Late Nights = Productive Nights

It’s well after midnight, and I can already tell that tonight is going to be like the last 4 nights… up till 3am. It’s a another wonderful side effect of motherhood.. to go along with the memory + hair loss. But this side effect has a plus, I’m getting a ton of work done! Nadia and Nick’s Keepsake DVD is ready to be delivered, and I can’t wait for them to see their beautiful photos Putting the DVD together: Finished Product: At least I’m not too lonely, although the house is quiet and most of my babes are asleep.. my furry...

2 months 1 week 5 days…

As of yesterday.. as of today she`s 2 months 1 week and 6 days old. One day does makes a difference, every day is so different with her. My baby girl never ceases to amaze me. She`s growing and changing so much, I want to remember it all. Every smile, giggle and wink. So we take photos, lots of photos! You can never have to many. She makes me so happy! I know she won`t stay little for long, and I want to have a lot of photos to look back on. Canada Day was perfect, more like Family Day for us. We spent the day walking along the lake in Oakville, eating ice cream (sharing...

Mud + Puppies go perfectly together…

Apparently mud is just as deliciously fun to roll around in as snow (so Marco demonstrated for us during our last trip to a very muddy dog park). Marco was begging us for a walk, and thinking that the least muddiest place to go would be the dog park (they put down mulch regularly) off we headed with our golden soft coat wheatie in the back seat. Oh boy… we got there… saw the disaster… but couldn’t break Marco’s little heart and go home, so in we went. He had so much fun running around and playing with another puppy, they splashed mud all...

Busy Bees [Geminie Update]

Couples in love, couples celebrating love, couples discovering love… we’ve been privy to all that and so much more these past few weeks. We’ve been shooting like crazy and my hand feels oddly empty when I don’t have my camera in it. I promised myself that I would update this blog more diligently than the previous Geminie Photography Blog… and I’ve let that slide.. ooopsie! Allrighty, so I know you want to hear/see all about what we’ve been doing behind the camera and here’s a little sneak peek at everything I need to get up...

Kisses [From Marco]

I feel like I’ve been a bad mommy and haven’t written about Marco in soooo long! Well hopefully this all-Marco post will rectify the situation I didn’t think it was possible but he’s been getting cuter, sweeter and crazier by the day! His newest habit (which reduces both Laszlo and I into mushy awwwwinggg puddles of love at his feet) is his running head start. Ok here’s how it happens: Either I or Laszlo come home and walk through the door. Marco waits about 3 feet from door until it’s opened, once he sees us, he runs away through the...

Getting Some Fresh Air

Marco and I have lovely conversations all the time… and well he let me know that a walk was in order… so Laszlo and I happily obliged. The sun was setting, the air was warm and everything around us was just begging be to be photographed. (Ok well I may have made up that last part… but we were both really glad that we brought George along on our walk.) (If you don’t follow me on Facebook, George is our new D300, Wall-E the D80′s big brother). (yes I name the cameras, and trees, and the car…. and occasionally fat bumble bees). Our...

Summer Tease [Lazy Bike Rides]

I love spring, the warm sunny days (summer teasing us with little peeks of what’s to come) the unpredictability of the weather, and of course the best part… everything coming back to life! I love new buds barely opened… and the bursts of greens, pinks, and oranges among trees that haven’t yet quite woken up from their winter sleep. Marco and I went on a lazy bike ride around the neighborhood (and to my surprise he was amazing waking/jogging alongside me). This is what we saw: Some pretty greens + blues: And of course, my lovely fur ball Marco: It...

I Wish I Was 10 And Had A Pair Of Pink Rain Boots

maybe that would me feel better about today! I have a love/hate relationship with rain. There have been rainy days which I’ll never forget… running in summer rain across a field and feeling so free and content with myself. But today is not a happy rainy day I’m stuck inside working and really not liking the reduced light coming through the windows.. Even Marco is not impressed, he prefers being inside gazing pensively out the window when we have yucky weather like today: Thank god it’s Friday, and Laszlo will be home soon so we can snuggle and...
