Sexy in the City

Ok, so I am really not sure who was and who is more excited about these pictures! Holy smokes! These ladies were AWESOME! Chrystal, Jackie, Audrey and Dyan came in from Fort McMurray for a girls weekend! While they were here, they made their way to the salon to have their hair styled, put on their hottest clothes! We met up at their hotel and spent some time in they back alley of their hotel where we saw a few sketchy people and moved on to an abandoned warehouse downtown.

Along they way we met numerous glances and honks of car horns, a Greyhound bus full of people and an EPS officer. It was quite the day!

We ended the night with some delicious eats and some fancy girly drinks at Joey Tomato's! We had a blast and I am so glad they came down and decided they need fun pics of their 'Gals Weekend.'

Thanks for coming out ladies!

Here is a very small sample of their awesomeness! Check back often for teasers of this shoot! I will post them as they are finished!

Rain, Rain, Go Away!!!

I start wearing flip flops as soon as the snow on the ground is gone. Well, gone in most places. As long as I am not up to my ankles in the white stuff, I am in Capri pants and sandals. I look like a tourist from the North Pole most days. While others still have their hoods up, I can be found, wandering around with my toes waving freely in the wind. I am not sensitive to cold, never have been- in fact, I didn't even break out my winter coat when the whirling winds whipped around me at -40 this past snowy season. I firmly believe my roundness and tolerance to cold can be traced to having a polar bear tangled up illegitimately somewhere in my ancestry.

So it is with astounding dismay that I have to announce that I have been adversely affected by the weather. Sunburn? No. As much as I dread the heat of summer, I can safely tell you that I am not suffering anything similiar to a case of heat stroke.

At this point, you must be asking yourself...'Well if she isn't feeling chilled, and she has yet to break a summer sweat, what could be the issue?"

My issue is this. Mold. I am moldy. It has rained everyday since my Capri panted body and sandaled feet stepped off my flight from Edmonton. I lived in Newfoundland for 25 years. I am well aware of the fact that the weatherman could go on strike and CBC could safely play tapes of Carl Wells as a young man and would still be incredibly accurate about the 7 days of falling rain that we were destined to recieve.

I can't even get annoyed like all the men, on all the wharves, comment 'Some weather'. I can't try to be the funny man at the mall who says, 'Great weather for ducks'. I can't even grumble when I get caught in a down pour and my hair undoubtedly goes curly beyond repair. All I can do is lift my arms in the air and look in wonderment at the sky. And while all the world might wonder if I am asking God to show us the sun so all of my Newfoundland portrait bookings can go ahead as planned, they will be half right. I will be talking to God. But instead of asking for a sun shiny day on the Avalon Pennisula, I will do the logical thing. I will be asking God to send me some common sense. So that next time I pack my suitcase to head to Newfoundland, I will pack a pair of long pants and perhaps a pair of sneakers.

Fluff!

I had a great afternoon with Amanda, Alex, Lindsay and Peggy at Rundle Park today! What a funny group! They were all cute on their own, but then a neighbor's super cute pooch showed up and jumped into the pictures too!

Amanda started a mutany when she got into some plants that had HUGE amounts of this fluffy white stuff (that I am still trying to get out of my hair and eyes!) Of course, she couldn't resist blowing it at her big sister!

Here are a few shots from the day! If you would like to see more, visit www.IslandMistPhotography.com/peg

About a boy...

Yesterday was one of those fall days that makes you want to throw on a comfy sweater, and take a walk among the trees. The colors were so vibrant, it was amazing. The sky over Edmonton's Emily Murphy Park was so blue it belonged in a postcard.

It was a wonderful morning to spend with Ethan and his family, photographing him as he climbed trees and ran among the fallen leaves. I had a great morning, and here are a sample of the photos!

Graduation Day...

Today I had a great time taking pictures of some stunning girls, before they headed off to their high school graduation. I knew that each of these girls was very pretty when I met them, but it was after the fact, when I had virtually NO editing to do, that I realized how beautiful they really are!

I had a great afternoon ladies, and I hope you had a great time at your banquet! Here are some samples of your photos...I hope you enjoy this teaser...

...And they called it Puppy Love

Today I got to take spend a great morning drinking Lattes and shooting a beautiful puppy named Tatiana. She will need to forgive me if I have mispelled her name...but I did of course, give it my best effort. Just an absolute bundle of energy she didn't sit still for a moment to have her picture taken, preferring a more 'Papparazzieusqe' style of photography. Here are some shots as I chased her around her house and garden. Thanks for a great day ladies...
