January 11 today and the month is fast clipping by. Last week was a fun week as I was able to focus on my photography now that the photo booths are off and contracts are filling up. We just finished a great weekend at the Chateau Lacombe where we did a Christmas Party for the staff. The staff were so much fun and Colette from Sales/events was super hospitable. I have never been treated like royalty before!
Last week I met with Leona Carter from the City of Edmonton - Aboriginal Relations Office. She told me about how the city is working with Aboriginals and their needs. We met at the anniversary of the city and Aboriginal agreement where I was doing a photo shoot a couple months ago. I had also worked with her in my past as a parole officer and she was on the parole board. She asked me if I would find them some photos of Aboriginals in every day situations and portray some role modeling of them. I could write a book about why I want to do that sort of thing and promote it so it was a perfect fit! I started snapping photos that day and ended up at the Rink of Dreams by CTV. I was inspired in a new direction than what I was doing and loving it. I was shooting photos in winter weather and the cold didn't even bother me. I loved the work that was being developed by my Nikons! The photos were recognized by CTV's Stewart Shaw, Serena Mah, and my favorite - Carrie Doll. I am making the photo attached for Serena Mah, who is the mother to the boy with the stick. What a humble honor it is.
Well, We are currently getting ready for the big Wedding shows - The Bridal Fair and Bridal Fantasy. We will have to manage other parties with our Photo booths and Im sure will be tired by the time January ends! Thanks if you got to this far!
