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!

January 18, 2011 // my life
I'll admit it, it is a bit of frantic time. I have collaborations left, right and center. We are heading off soon on a family holiday, I am organizing a wedding show, and going back to teaching at the photography college in Victoria.  I am on a Roller Derby Team, I want to skate. I have friends and family facing huge challenges, my body is sore from the gym, I have opportunities landing in front of me. I have two good books that I can't put down. I'm adjusting to a hubby who works away. I'm asking myself big life questions.

I have new music I love, recipes to try and a room I want to re-arrange. I have six movies I want to watch before the Academy Awards.

I have ideas. I want to create. I am learning buckets. I am buzzing.

I don't know what it means to hit the year running like this. But, I think it is okay....

I feel grounded.

Maybe, I finally know myself enough to accept the above and not feel that I have to slow down when I feel speedy or speed up when I feel slow.

Maybe I have found my secret, found what I need to make sure I am smiling and totally present as I drive children from A to B, and that when the day is done and it is just me and the right piece of music, to feel content, calm and to feel love.

Take care of yourself. It's worth it for everyone who loves you.

Enjoy Wednesday.
