Red Wagon Ramblings

My *first* contest!

For some reason Facebook has decided to switch a few things up again and therefore I needed to create a new Facebook Fan Page for Red Wagon Photography.

Soooo, since I need a few "likes" I thought I would put everyone's name, who "liked" my page into a virtual hat and do a random draw on May 18th for a free shoot!

Now why May 18th you may ask? Because it is my wonderful husband's birthday :-)

Please pass along to friends or family who may be interested!

Here's the link: Red Wagon Photography Facebook Page

Thank you!

Here's a shot from my Chicago trip!

8 years ago...

my life changed.  Tomorrow we will celebrate Elissa Brooke's 8th birthday. 8 years ago I became a mom to the most wonderful daughter.  She is kind, sensitive, gentle and loving. I have loved watching her mature this past year and find she is really becoming her own person.  She definitelty has her own sense of style, she loves to write stories and read.  For her birthday this year she has asked for a belgian waffle maker.  She seems to love to help in the kitchen and is always coming up with new recipes. 

I have a shoot planned out for her that I am hoping to do this week, but for now I will post a picture from when she was just a few weeks old, a picture of her at 1 and a picture of her from this past month.

  

Personal Project Monday

As an artist I am always trying to find different creative outlets.  I thoughtI would share with you my journey through different projects, the good, the bad and the ugly!

Here is a scarf I was knitting before Christmas.

Finished!    

Image Quest 2010 | Richmond BC

For the past three days I have been in Richmond for a Photography Convention.  Image Quest is this fabulous convention put on by the PPABC that brings in incredible speakers to teach, share, and inspire photographers.  We had the priviledge of learning from some of the best in our industry such as Dane Sanders, Blue Olive Photography, Mitche Graf, Dale Sanders, and Jasmine Star.

Not only is this a great opportunity to learn from some of the best, but it is an opportunity to meet other local photographers and connect with them.

My mind is overflowing with new ideas that I can't wait to share!  Thank you to everyone who reads and follows my blog.  Always feel free to leave comments, I'd love to hear from ya!

Enjoy the sun today!

San Diego | January 2010 | Lara McAllister

Joel and I took a quick trip to San Diego this last week to find some sun and relax!  Unfortunately it sounds like y'all had more sun here, but we were still able to relax!  We spent a day at Disneyland as well as touring around San Diego.  Here some of my favourites from the trip.

We drove out to the desert Saturday night to capture this beautiful sunset.

     

Oh Christmas Tree...

This weekend we went to our local Christmas tree farm and chose our tree.  Here are a few pics!

    

Harvest Moon

It seems like the thing to do now.  I've noticed a lot of people blogging their incredible moon images these past couple of days, so I thought I would give it a shot! (no pun intended!) 

Out of town dates

I will be out of town from July 10 - July 13 as well as from July 18 -  July 27.

This will  include some shoots but mostly vacation time. So if you have a shoot booked during these times, it's all good!

I likely will only have minimal access to e-mail but feel free to write and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Since no post is really complete without pictures, here are a few from this week!
