I can still remember the first time I met her. I was a serious rookie at a cycling training camp in Penticton, BC. There were 2 other girls
at the camp and the third was J. When she showed up the fun started, the laughing began and  I finally felt at ease. Despite my
rookie-ness and her pro-ness, she was super encouraging and I learnt so much in those early days. We haven’t seen each other in years
but I was super excited to be a part of her and C’s Calgary winter wedding. Not much has changed. J’s laugh is still ridiculously infectious and
she warms up a room with her delight immediately. C is the same, he’s funny and warm and I’m so glad that after all these years they tied the knot.

I’m going to ‘Love2Love’ on Monday, but because of the recent overnight blizzard in Alberta, I thought it fitting to share this wedding.

Happy New Year everyone.
It felt so good to have a break – a real break. No emailing, no phone, no editing and now I feel so…. refreshed.
2010 is off and running already and I am happily sprinting along with it. I have the energy and the legs.

We did it all over the holidays. We skated, played hockey, backcountry skied, cross country skied made cookies, ate cookies…
I think this was my best Christmas in a long time… having two families now is pretty awesome and it was bulging with friends and activities.

Now that that is behind us I am focused forward. Onward!

I received some great nominations for GIVING IS AWESOME and am so excited to have picked a winner. More on that later in the week.
I also photographed my last wedding of 2009 on New Years Eve.

It was very cold, very windy and very snowy. A beautiful day in Alberta. The bride was fiercely brave… she had bare arms.
I almost froze my trigger finger!

I’m so happy for J and C. I’ve known these two from my cycling days, waaaaayyyyy back when and am so glad to see them sealing the deal.

A few images to start of 2010.

The bridal party was also brave. We were all chattering teeth by this point, and still they worked it. Hard.

J has a very infectious laugh and I realized while photographing that I had missed it in the past few years. She is always happy.
