Calendar is Full :)

I cannot thank you enough for the AWESOME response I've had this summer. 

That being said my schedule is pretty much FULL.

I have a few evening shoots available at 7pm.

-----------------------

I can possibly take ONE evening shoot this week (this is still up in the air since I possibly have a couple of tentative bookings, so get in touch if you seriously want it)

I have ONE evening shoot available the week of July 27th-30th (Friday evening of that week is not available since it's the long weekend)

I have ONE evening shoot available between the dates of August 4th-6th 

ONE evening shoot available Friday August 7th

And Sunday - August 9th is still open where I have morning, afternoon & evening available.

And before going on maternity leave I can possibly squeeze in ONE evening shoot between August 10th-13th

-----------------------

I'd like to stress that some of these dates might not be available since I am pregnant and I have mid wives appointments and so on to attend too.

Otherwise I'm now booking for summer 2010 

It feels so good to be able to say that :)

Rates will be going up in 2010 but if you book now for next summer 2009 rates will be honoured

----------------------

I hope you're enjoying your summer so far and stay tuned....because I'm SO booked that means lot of new photos coming soon!

Til next time, Christa

Feature Photographer: Jamie Delaine

Jamie Delaine is a young Wedding photographer out of Vancouver, BC

Yep I'm featuring another Canadian :) 

I discovered Jamie Delaine when her website was a featured "Show it website"

Not only do I love Jamie's style of photography, but her blog is sweet and full of energy.

This summer she's hosting a 1 week internship for 4 lucky girls who's hoping to get into the industry.

Why didn't I apply? For a number of reasons....one I'll be on the other side of the country the week of the internship. Secondly I didn't qualify (you had to be between 17-25) sadly I discovered I want to be a wedding photographer at too late of an age.....LOL.

But Jamie, if you're reading this and want to share your knowledge sometime. I'm all ears :) 

If you're interested in booking Jamie, her info is as follows

Portrait session will start at $250 & include:

$100 credit towards an album or prints

Weddings start at $3600 & include:

 - engagement session

7+ hours of wedding day coverage by two photographers

Check her out!

Happy July 4th to my American friends, have a great weekend everyone!

Engaged: Natasha & Foster

It's a quiet love that they share.

The soft spoken, whispering kind.

Natasha & Foster have a love that's genuine, sincere and sweet.

Love the garage doors!

Natasha has THE MOST AMAZING green eyes....seriously!

This one is my favourite from the session

Bring it in tight :)

Natasha & Foster....I was honoured to photograph your engagement photos.

Witnessing the two of you was a breath of fresh air and a gentle reminder of quiet pleasures. Thank You!

My 3 Happy Things

Since I have a LOT of things that make me happy...my 3 photos today will be the things that made me happy this past weekend.

First

Dessert, more specifically Hey Dollies
(which I've since been told are called "Magic Bars" by some people)

I had enough ingredients leftover from the batch I made last weekend to make another batch, yay!

Secondly

Scented Candles....just because I love candles and I love when they smell yummy

And third, last but certainly not least

Good Deals

I scored this vintage leather bag this past weekend. I'm not quite sure if it's supposed to be a bowling bag but I'm pretty sure it's going to be my new camera bag.

Soooooo excited!

Don't forget to share your 3 favourites things

Feature Photographer: Justin & Mary

Today's feature are wedding photographers Justin & Mary. 

A husband & wife team out of New England, USA

I cannot say enough good things about them.

I've chatted with Mary a couple of times via email and she's a wonderful person. 

Sweet, sincere and quick to give advice to us newbie photographers.

I'm so upset that I cannot make their workshop that they're hosting in July. Boo! :(

Their blog is their website, they do not list prices because their whole philosophy is to get to know you first and they do a custom package just for your needs.

They also do quite a bit of charity work, more specifically The Portrait House

Happy Friday and here's to an awesome weekend, don't forget to take your photos for yesterdays challenge.
