Come visit us tomorrow! Christine and I will be at the Babie's Bellies and Birth Fair held at the Native Sons Hall from 10 to 4 tomorrow.
We are thrilled to once again be a sponsor of this top-notch super friendly event. Last year was the first year and people were raving about it.
I will also be speaking at 1:45 about preserving your photos. We will talk about backing up,workflow, printing and anything else that comes up. If time allows I also promised to give some photography tips.
You can see all the information on the event Facebook page
And in other news...
After years of considering a One Year Baby Plan, and changing my mind, then getting re-excited about it, then not having it feel just right ... we have finally hit the mark and created something that feels just right for us, and provides amazing value for our clients.
So tomorrow we will be launching our McKinnon Photography Baby Plan, I are really proud of it and looking forward to sharing it tomorrow.

Casey was the lucky recipient of a recent Roots the Salon make-over which included a photo session. You can see her submission here.
She was tons of fun to shoot, we played around in the studio and capture a few different looks - this one jumped out to me, she looks gorgeous and you know I love me some compositional negative space.
As usual the Roots crew did an amazing job - hair was by Meagan and make-up by Chrystal.
Thanks Casey - I love you beautiful, story telling eyes.

One of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. It has been an honor to call her 'friend'.

We are mid computer switch over. Finally making a PC to Mac move. Yes, finally. So, I really have nothing to do at this moment. Which is odd, because I always have lots to do.
Emails, processing, burning.. busy.. busy.
But right now I can't access any of my information. So, I figure I might as well take this time to adjust. You know you spend tons of time on the computer when a new screen makes you feel like you have been drinking vodka since sunrise. My eyes feel cross-eyed and nothing is where it usually is.
The new computer is faster and will be more efficient, however, I know it will be a huge step backwards before we leap forward.
So, as I continue my day of doing nothing on my to-list, I am hoping that you are having a fabulous Thursday.
I hope to be back on my productivity game, and with a photo blog post tomorrow - we'll see..
Natalie Woods:
The adjustment will be well worth the switch! I used PC's until about 4years ago when I switched to a MacBook and finally almost 2years ago to a iMac. It took a bit of getting used to after years of using PC desktops, but I am SO happy I did it. I no longer worry about viruses and trojans like I did with my PC (I was taking it into the shop every 3months to get wiped, no matter what program I ran for security, couldn't stop the viruses and trojans!).
Hope you're enjoying a day off to relax and look forward to your next post! =)

I truly wish all women could look at themselves and let the things they love about themselves roll of their tongue. I wish they could see their reflection in the mirror and say, hell ya! "This gal has something going on". I wish they could look forward to their own photoshoot thinking "wow, it is going to be amazing to document my favorite bits about myself." Well.. it doesn`t quite happen that way. But things are heading in the right direction. Over the last few years I have had an increasing amount of woman call to book a session - just because. This, makes me very happy.
They are celebrating themselves.
Typically, they are nervous. Fair enough. But I tell you, there is no reason to be shy - I guarantee that after 10 minutes we will be laughing, sharing and the parts of you that you adore will be shining and maybe, just maybe, you will move that one step further away from your inner critique.
When Deborah booked, she told me that she was prepared for it to be worse than being at the dentist, this doesn`t look like a woman who has been sitting under a drill.
After her session Deborah sent me a message about what a great time she had and how special it was - made my day - okay my week. Thank you Deborah for jumping in and trusting me, I had such a lovely time sharing with you and capturing you - you are a beautiful, brave and inspiring. This photo has so much of you in it.
Happy Wednesday everyone, I have a spring in my step this morning as I am off to teach a private photo session, which is going to make for a fabulous morning.
