Back From Puerto Vallarta,Mexico

Took a little family holiday to Puerto Vallarta in an all inclusive spot.Great weather,great food,great beach (for walking on mainly)and tanned slowly..turning a lovely shade of "pink"!
I am ready for anything.It was great though I felt a little guilty our son couldn't make it,as
he is in university! Next time!
I am now preparing for teaching a new class in April at UNBC "The Business of Photography" and
speaking in the Lower Mainland April 20th and coming back to do the Annual Homeshow
at the end of the month!! Now you know why I took the holiday!!

March News....Prints Selected for Digital Salon



I attended the IMAGEQUEST 09 which included several speakers,a 2 day tradeshow and Digital Salon for Members but was open to any and all people interested in photography. In the Digital Salon two of my 4 images submitted accepted and those are the two childrens images seen here.Both are from Prince George families sessions I photographed in 2008. So thank you so much to all of them!! A little girl and her 3 brothers came up with the idea of being dragged behind the car. I took it from there adding the animation For the second image a previous student of mine gave birth to twin girls and her sister-in-law boys so together "Cousins"came to be a gift for their grandmother.
These images will go onto the next level of competition in May at the National Digital Salon in Saskatewchan.
I have also learned I receive my First Masters Bar (earned by service to the Association and having Prints Chosen for Salon).Unfortunately I will not be in Saskatewchan to receive it so will have to wait till next Feb.in Vancouver instead.
With these images I am introducing a new style in finishing images for clients who want a little different look. Ask about it when booking your next session!!
