blink

261 of 365

After a very busy few weeks at work I finally took some time out for lunch today. Camera in hand and really missing Project 365 I ventured out to find an interesting shot for today.

Stephen Avenue is always a great place to take pictures so that's where I went and that's where I found "blink restaurant & bar". I've never eaten here and to be quite honest I didn't pay any attention to the decor inside but I'm thinking it's probably worth checking out sometime.

Mr & Mrs Sotelo

Due to extreme weather conditions (i.e. freezing cold) we really weren't able to spend any amount of time outside for photos on Jen & Carlos' wedding day. We did however manage to come out with a few good shots. This one I've chosen to share with you is my favorite.

Congratulations, guys!

Freaky!

One word to describe this photo - FREAKY! Just look into the eyes of the skeletons; so scary. This gruesome couple are actually a Halloween ornament on my friend Michelle's kitchen table. Interesting fact about Michelle that I didn't know...she loves Halloween.

The Beautiful Sound of Bag Pipes

Today while I was at Eau Claire Market taking photos for the United Way Fun Walk & Run I heard bag pipes in a distance. As I made my way back to the office I found out where the mesmerizing sound was coming from.

Stunning

Today I experienced studio lighting for the first time. I only had about 12 - 15 minutes to spend with our bride & groom Ashley and Dave during class so you can imagine how happy I was with the result. I absolutely LOVE this photo!

Baby Bergeron

A fun shot from my maternity session with Dalyce & Bruno. They are expecting a baby boy on October 17th. Congrats guys!

My Guy Gord

This photo was taken at the barn in Balzac. It's pretty rare that Gord will actually pose for me so I'm very happy about this shot.

Drop Zone

This photo was taken as my co-worker Chris Woloshyn repelled from the top of Sunlife Plaza in support of Easter Seals. The building is 28 stories; that's quite the descent. I can't even imagine doing such a thing - crazy!

Laugh Out Loud

A fun shot of my girlfriend Anissa's son, Cooper.

Lower Lake

Gord and I enjoyed a relaxing weekend camping with Sally and Jay at Lower Lake Campground in Kananaskis. This morning before we started packing up I took a walk along the lake in hopes of getting a nice mountain shot. This shot looked great in color, but I've chosen to post the black & white version instead because I like how dramatic it looks.

Levi and his Log

202 of 365

Levi loves to fetch logs in the water and for him the bigger the better. While Gord, Sally, Jay and I enjoyed some sunshine and suds at Lower Lake in Kananaskis Levi had lots of fun fetching this piece of driftwood (that we guessed to weigh 30 lbs) from the lake. It amazes me that even now at almost 10 years of age he still has so much strength and power in his jaw.

Big Sky

I found this old shed in a junk yard right in here in the middle of Airdrie. There was a lot of cool junk around and I'm thinking it would make a great place for an engagement photo shoot.

Bayside

This is the view from my "backyard". Big and beautiful houses. While taking Levi for a walk tonight I noticed how cool the reflection in the water looked so I grabbed the camera and voila, you have "Bayside".

Adorable!

Today I had a great visit with Carrie and her little guy, Alex. It's been awhile since I had a chance to visit with Alex and I couldn't believe how much he has grown up. He took a few minutes to warm up to me, but it wasn't long before we were buds.

Memere's China

Being the oldest grandchild in the Porelle family means that my grandmother's china was willed to me. For now Pepere (my grandfather) will keep it safely displayed in the cabinet in his kitchen. It is an honor to be able to one day serve a special family dinner on Memere's beautiful china.

Spednic Lake Sunset

A beautiful sunset shot taken on Spednic Lake. I really miss camping on a lake that is warm enough to swim in.

Tony the Toad

This little guy popped out from underneath the rocks that were stacked around our campfire while we were cooking supper one night at the lake.

Boutonnière

148 of 365

Today my good friends Tracy and Curtis tied the knot. Because I was so focused on my duties of Master of Ceremonies I didn't get one single picture of the bride & groom so I'm opting to post this shot of the best man's boutonniere.

Thea

What a cutie 9 month old Thea is! This shot was taken in NB the night before her debut as Flower Girl in Curtis & Tracy's wedding.

Autumn

I was very excited to photograph my cousin Katie's daughter Autumn while I was home in NB, but unfortunately she wasn't up to posing for me. I managed to get a couple of shots and this one turned out to be my favorite.
