Here's Erika's Story

I had the chance to photography an amazing family in May. The word that comes to mind when i see this family - genuine happiness. A complete content and serene attitude for life. No, not every day is easy. This pregnancy for them was not easy. But for every hard moment, there is a moment of laughter - a moment of a miracle.

I had such a great time! We hung out, walked around a park and took photos. Their son Joshua had lots of great smiles! At one point, he sat down and smiled at me. He stayed there and i was able to take many photos of him!!

I had the privilege to take photos of their newborn baby - photos will be posted soon!!

It's been a long time since i've been here! So many things have happened since my last post!

I photographed a "baby crawl" a couple of weeks ago. That was fun! It's a big thing at Market mall that happens twice a year. Parents line there babies up and see who is the fastest to cross the finish line. Fun? yah, a little. Would i enter my baby if i had one? probably not...

Here's a baby crossing the finish line!!

I also photographed a Figure Skating Carnival for the local paper! Let me tell you was that ever a challenged! Here's a sample...

It was fun! Tho i wanted to tell them to slow down a little ;)

I've been having so much fun with my photography! So many challenges and adventures! I got asked to take "studio" shots of a 6 month old little boy. I wasn't sure how i was going to do it. With no place to set up i was almost thinking i would have to refer her to another photographer. But i brought my lights and my background to her little house, and set up right in her living room! It worked great and we got some great photos!!! She hasn't seen them yet, so it'd be unfair of me to post some now... previews to come soon!!!

More photos... so cute i couldn't help it!!

The Janzen Family

I had such a wonderful photo shoot with these guys! What a great family! Little Robert was so content i could have been there all day with my camera. Somehow, i managed to put it away after about 1 1/2 ish.... we got some great photos! Thanks guys!


I had my assistant Shannon with me on this shoot. It was great. She would entertain the toddler Andrew. I think it's a good thing my camera is fast. I would finally be able to catch him sitting still, then as soon as the photo was taking he would jump up and yell "yay!!" haha... then there was no way of getting him to sit where i had him. It was awesome! He made me smile!

Every time i need a little boost. I look at my photos. The images that i created. The smiles that I captured. Here are a few. Taken throughout the past two years.

It's hard when your competition is staring you in the face. Using your space to do the same thing you do - only better. I am torn. One side wants to throw in the towel and give up. The other side wants to stick up my nose and fight. Prove myself. Prove that i can be - am just as good.

Inspiration.

Motivation.

Courage.

So i am meeting with a lawyer today! Talking mumble jumble about my business. Until now i have not registered my business name, and i think that i am too late! I might have to change it. I'm thinking about "Photography by Wendy" It's very simple. Very plain. Not sure. I'll keep you updated!

I had a couple of wonderful sessions last week!!! A newborn, an engagement. I couldn't help but add at least one photo as a sneak peak! I haven't finished editing them yet, but here's one of the newborn that i really like! He was such a cute baby! So good! I am having such a blast buried in my computer editing! (that might be my favourite part!)

Anyway - on to my day! Hope your having a great day as your reading this!

I like real. I like attitude. I work at Cravings Maternity and Baby Boutique (great place for unique baby stuff!! ) and we often have kids trying on shoes. Yesterday this 2 year old little boy in. Mom was trying to get him to try shoes but he was so excited he was running around laughing, screaming, crying! I loved it! I played with him and got to try on 2 pair of shoes!! It was amazing! The best part of my job (there and as a photographer) is chasing after this kids. Being as silly as them! Although i might not cry when they cry, i might mimic those silly sounds that they so often make!!
