The adorable "D" family

This week I was asked to photograph this wonderful family. I must say I was nervous as this was the first time I have done pictures for someone outside my close friends but this family was relaxed, gorgeous and SUPER sweet. It was really hard to not pinch little "N"s cheeks or to give Miss "O" a big squeeze with her big brown wonderous eyes! The kids were SO well behaved and posed with ease for me! Here are some of my favorites :)

Carman Blizzardfest "MA-MOW-WE-TAK DOG SLED RACES"

Had the honor of being recruited to help out with the first annual dog sled races at this years Blizzardfest festivities! What an AMAZING weekend! Takes me back to the days of the Yukon quest and Rendezvous in Whitehorse, YT where I grew up! This was the first event of its kind held in these parts and personally I think it was a FANTASTIC success! Sean Billing, event co-ordinator for the Dog sled races, should be highly commended for pulling off such an ordeal with NO real hitches (well maybe a random sled full of dogs running around free for awhile but other than that..NONE) Seriously though, it was such a warm experience. Thank you so much Sean for including me in your day, I learned a lot about this sport AND how to take pictures with one hand and time a race finish with the other! See you all next year!

Sometimes the simple beauty of nature is enough.
