I love December. Work is finally slowing down for the year and I’m starting to feel like I have everything under control again. Orders are mailed out, shoots are mostly wrapped up, and I can start to focus on things that I’ve been waiting to do all year. Like:
1) Design my wedding invitations and my wedding guestbook.
2) Send my old 50mm (that I broke while backpacking in Peru this year) off to Canon for some T.L.C.
3) Edit my pictures from Peru and put them in an album.
4) Do everything I haven’t done yet and should have done already for my wedding.
5) Edit my sister’s wedding pictures and design her album. You know that old saying about how the carpenter’s door never gets fixed, the doctor’s family gets sick etc. etc.? It’s true about photographer’s families too. My sister has been patiently waiting for the remainder of her wedding photos, NONE of which she has seen, since July! Bad Bad me.
PS NO, she hasn’t been bugging me about it and YES, she is a saint.
Aaaanyways, I was kicking off this wonderful ‘I have time for me!’ month this morning by sorting through all the pictures that have accumulated unseen on my hard drive this year. Here are some randoms of what I found:
This is me back in June at a girls’ poker night with one of my best friends (and bridesmaids), Justyna. It made me happy because she is currently studying law far, far away at Dalhousie. She’s coming home for Christmas though – yay! Sidenote: Check out how many chips we both have – I guess wasn’t doing so well…
Another random: This is the view from a super awesome secret location (we trespassed, so I’m keeping the location hush hush) Adam and I found this summer. We had a quiet picnic here, and we were just surrounded by buttercups. So pretty. The view felt more like something you’d see in Europe than British Columbia. I remember for dessert Adam packed vanilla ice cream in a giant coffee travel mug surrounded by a bag of ice. Ingenious! Adam packs the best picnics in the whole world.
I’m just starting in on editing Katie’s pictures (my neglected big sister I mentioned earlier). :) Here are a couple from the morning.
The first is what I would call the fake “I’m-so-nervous-it’s-my-wedding-day” look. The second is maybe the real one?
Favourite. Yes, it’s grainy (I didn’t do any light set up – give me a break people, I was the maid of honour!) but I don’t mind it. I love the expression, and I love how you can see Mike (Katie’s husband) hugging his mom in the background too.
Anyways, those were my little discoveries today. I just got a GORGEOUS album in for Julie & Ryan, so stay tuned for pictures of it (as soon as Julie gets a chance to see it.) Hope you’re all having a great Friday!
