After the fire, I started having some trouble with my cell phone and since I needed to replace my phone I decided to go ahead and splurge on an iPhone. Not the fancy new one, but the older model. I just needed something functional and I’ll admit I was kind of looking forward to having …
The Journal
Reality Check…
I started thinking… I write a lot of posts about my awesome clients, things I like, and what I’m excited about. But I don’t often bring up my fears or worries or stress. In case you were wondering… I am a normal person – I do get stressed and worried just like everyone else. I do …
A Peek at our Family: The Annual Gagnon Family Christmas Session
As a photographer it’s easy to get caught up in taking pictures of everyone else and forget (or push off) getting pictures that include yourself. I’ll admit I’m guilty of this. It’s not so much because I hate having my picture taken… It’s more because I’ve become a bit of a control freak. I know …
Some Thoughts on Myself, My Shooting Style and Love…
I don’t often really share my personal thoughts on the blog… Sometimes it’s hard for me to figure out how much I should share. But I think it’s good for me to share who I am, my thoughts and beliefs, hopes and fears. So here’s just a little something I’ve been thinking about lately. This …
Welcome to 2012
Well it’s a New Year and I feel refreshed! The hubby got the whole week off from work last week, so I decided to go ahead and treat myself with the week off from work too. So I officially took the last week of the year as my only week of vacation in 2011. I …
Pre-Christmas Eve
Well Christmas weekend is nearly here! Wow – December seems to have just flown by! It doesn’t really feel like Christmas time though does it… Where’s all the snow? And the cold? Haha – gotta love the Midwest – you never know what kind of weather to expect. This is not a typical Christmas for …
A Little Life Update
Things have been so busy the past couple weeks… who am I kidding – the past couple months! I still haven’t really had a meltdown over the house fire yet – so I’m kind of thinking there isn’t going to be one. … huh… guess I handle stress and loss better than I thought. (haha) …
Made it to the Weekend And Some Business Excitement!
Well hello again! It’s Friday! How wonderful is that? Sometimes I’m amused that I still look forward to weekends…. since in my line of work I don’t really have them. Between weddings, weekend sessions and just trying to get everything I need to done. My “weekends” don’t really exist in the true sense of the …
One Month After…
So yesterday officially marked one month since the fire that destroyed our home. And while it often feels as though no progress has been made and that we are no closer to life resuming it’s normal pattern – when we take the time to step back and look at the big picture – we are …
Our Halloween Fun| Conklin’s Barn II Dinner Theatre
So I’m still in the midst of editing photos since I just got my replacement laptop and software late last week. And since today is Halloween I thought I ought to share something a little Halloween-y. 😉 I’m not hugely into Halloween. I’ve never really decorated for it or gotten into the whole getting dressed …
