Snowshoeing Super Hero

Last night we hiked up Dog Mountain in Mt. Seymour Provincial Park to catch the sunset over the city. It’s not often I pack my flash into the backcountry – but just for kicks, I lugged along. I had an idea for a photo, but need a bit of inspiration, so I told Cam I needed him to do something fun. After hammering out a few details, this is what we came up with.


In between giggling fits, we managed to nail it after 3 trys.


Which was great, because after that last shot, my lens and face took a pile of snow.

Training for the biggest adventure of my life

My blog has been a little quiet lately, and it’s because I’ve been busy beginning preparations for the biggest adventure of my life…childbirth immediately followed by parenthood. I’ve been documenting my journey and finally have a small collection of images to share. If anyone has any tips on taking photos while giving birth – I’d love to hear them. That’s one thing I haven’t quite wrapped my head around!


December 1st. The “holy $*@#” moment.


A sudden good-bye.


Eight weeks. Determined to do some ski touring. It’s crazy what something the size of a cranberry can do to your lung capacity.


Twelve weeks. I know you may think I’m looking adoringly at my belly. I’m actually saying good by to my skinny jeans.


Thirteen weeks. Cam and I decide we should do some reading.


Ready to rock. The rocking chair given to my parents when I was born, sitting in anticipation.


Seventeen weeks. Not much of a belly to show off…but there’s just enough
there to make my jeans really uncomfortable. Low squats are all the
rage.
