About Me

Hello and welcome to my photo blog. I am Karen McKinnon, a Vancouver Island based photographer - a gal fortunate to be living my passion. The blog is where you can see recent sessions, keep in touch with what is new around here (and I promise you it is never dull) and get a better sense of who I am, what I love and how I show it. 

Thanks for visiting. Please leave a comment and let me know you were here - it really does make me smile!

October 21, 2009 // my life
Stuff I am loving right now:

1.  Pantuso Dance. This isn't new, I have written about why I think this is the bees knees of dance schools - but I am not being redundant, I have more to say (big shocker). Pantuso Dance   is a hugging mecca. The kids hug each other hello, parents hug kids other than their own, and grown ups welcome each other with hugs. If you have a big personal space bubble and are heading there wear some really bulky itchy fabric to keep people away. Otherwise, go soak it up.

2. Future Shop. I can't believe I am admitting this. I am typing in a whisper.I can go on about some of the "not so friendly, don't share on the blog experiences I have had there," but I won't. I have gone there twice in the last week and both times they rocked the service and had me out the door in less then ten minutes still feeling rather normal.

3. Christine a.k.a office manager, assistant, friend, giver of cool water bottles, filler of said water bottle, major crush of my dog Utah, laugher (I know it isn't really a word but it should be,) at my jokes. If you haven't met her yet be prepared to meet the definition of cool chick.

4. Kids who clean up dog sickness without being asked. It is 6 a.m. I am actually wearing two pairs of pj's, not because I was trying to be extra sexy, but because I was so cold. I am double cozy in bed. I wake to the sounds of "ohhhhhhhhhh, grossssssss" "yuck", "UTAH!"
So rather than jump out of bed and help, I hide under the blanket - yes, I am that kind of parent sometimes.
I then listen as the girls clean it up themselves. I LOVE that.

5. A reason to color on the walls
