had a photo shoot with my bouquet of flowers…
I’m happy that I’ve taken lots of shots since I received them as they are starting to fade…
got out the actual camera and had a fun time… light was good and tunes were playing…
flowers make me happy;-)…

had a very eventful last day with my son-in-law’s mom, lol…
started with a 7 am call to have the plumber come out to fix an issue in the bathroom… this also meant we were up early…
meanwhile my son-in-law was outside shovelling snow while the neighbour snowblowed both driveways…
then we got dressed in our finery for a photo shoot by one of my daughter’s friends…
we worked from a list to be sure that we covered every combination we could think of… wore two different outfits, had pictures of various combinations of people taken outside and inside and had lots of laughs throughout…
a visit with the photographer, breakfast for lunch, and then I built a tiny snow person before enjoying a wonderful walk around the block in the falling snow…
many pictures later I returned, just in time to join the nap club;-)…
we had appies, homemade and store bought crackers and toasted the new year – at 10:30, which was New Year’s in Newfoundland, where my son-in-law’s mom is from…
we watched a movie, recognized the New Year in Ottawa and went to bed… we did not stay up for the Manitoba time, lol…

participated in my first official photo shoot this morning…
it felt a bit odd… I have been taking pictures for years and have become more serious about it over the last few… just recently I even blogged about it for work…
but this morning, Ian McCausland was taking pictures of me… I was the one listening to the directions to work it, turn this way, bend that arm, tilt the chin…
in front of the camera, snapped by Susan Horodyska…
I was just one of a number of people who had participated and it was quite exhilarating and frightening to be the object of the photo as opposed to being the one taking the pictures…
although, I did that as well… it was great fun to take pictures as he was taking pictures… I got a couple of great shots… I also got to drool over his space and equipment… although photographing portraits is not my main area of interest it was quite eye opening…
a wonderful example of making great use of light and space…
since beginning my blog, I have tried to include at least one photo… so here is today’s…
watching the professional at work…
was missing George tonight as I was wanting to share the experience with him…
