The Fantastic Canon G10

I’m a tiny girl with a very wiry frame.  When we started shooting with the Canon 5D, I noticed that it gets super heavy.  I started to get lazy lugging around the 5D on vacation – to the point where i would refuse to take it out of my knapsack because it was so “mah-fahn” (translation: troublesome!).  

So last year for Rockstar’s birthday gift i bought him the compact Canon G10 camera and it takes fantastic and incredibly beautiful images.   I decided that i no longer needed to drag my DSLR around as long as Rockstar had the G10 with SLR functionalities.  So if you’re in the market for a new compact camera, the G1o is the way to go baby.  It’s awesome.   (I’m borrowing Rockstar’s G10 for my upcoming San Diego and San Fran trip!  So excited!!)   

Will post a few pics in a few days of our pictures from Vancouver and last year from Hawaii and Japan taken with this slick piece of technology.  =)

Looooove the fascinators!  These were bought in HK, very couture and very Laurie!

My skinny witch fingers made the shot!  Despite Laurie only getting a few hours of sleep, her eyes were pretty wide awake and alert.

Some Urban Decay palette action…

 

Wicked hair by Hua, a sister-team specializing in hair, makeup AND photography in Edmonton.  Triple threat!!

Good morning sunshine!

Check out the PJs…hahahaa…so cute!

 The Matron of Honor prepping Laurie’s dresses.

The booo-tee-ful  bridesmaids all with FANTASTIC skin.  I was super envious.  I use makeup to do major cover up on myself, for these girls, it was to enhance their gorgeousness – great canvases!

 

 

 

Five girls and two moms dolled up before 9:30am!  Shout out to Charis for helping out with eyelash duty.  If anyone ever needs falsie eyelashes securely glued on, she’s your girl.  I thought Janet Hua was amazing with the hair. =)   Laurie, you were brilliant – hope you loved loved loved your wedding day !

 

It’s Spring!

In celebration of  putting away my UGGs hopefully for the next 6 months – I tried on a pair of gladiator sandals last night when i went shopping with my younger sister. Love the concept. Hate that they make my elongated toes look more french fried than ever. I don’t think it’s meant to be. Sigh….

Last week we made the trek up to Edmonton for Miss Laurie’s (now missus!) wedding, yay!!! Gorgeous weekend, i think it’s the first time in a long time that i didn’t think Edmonton looked gross. (Can’t  i say that since i was born there?? Eekk!) Congrats Laurie, i can’t believe you’re MARRIED! We have pictures coming…i’ll do them up tonight. =)

Julia’s Hand-Made Cards

I am a self-professed bandwagon Flames fan. I really have no idea what’s going on the ice, i usually cheer for a goal about half a second after everybody else and even after the replay i can’t tell where the goal came from, who it was scored by or how it made it into the net.  But i do enjoy the spirit of the city during playoff season and when someone says let’s watch the game together – i’m all in - because of the social aspect!  

So when a bunch of friends got together last night for game 6, our good friend Julia brought  her beautiful handmade cards and after the dismal 1st period, we helped her take some picture of her masterpieces so she can start putting them on the market.  

She’s given us her beautiful creations before – i just had no idea she made them!  I especially love the water colored embossed cards – so pretty!  Contact lokjulia@gmail.com if you would like more information about these cards.

After our little photo session we were hoping that the condition of the game would improve.   Always a little depressing, even as a bandwagon fan, not making the first round!   Just doesn’t feel the same chanting Go Canucks Go, ya know?  =)
