Amber & the Sailboat

I am so very much in love with the sunshine and the blue sky and all the green awesomeness growing all around the valley. It's been a really trying winter, but spring promises a lot-- Jamie and I changed our lifestyle, eating healthier and exercising more. We're going to be taking up swimming and I'm going to wow the world with the finest dog paddle in Chilliwack. So far I've come down three sizes and Jamie has lot sixty pounds. It's pretty amazing, and we're high fiving ourselves like nobody's business as we adhere to the strictest but most rewarding changes of our lives.

I did a few larger scale photo shoots this past winter and was really wanting to do something low key and simple, so I put together a very impromptu shoot last night with the lovely Amber Short. Crystal was even able to come out! I recently picked up a reflector and I must say, I'm pretty much in love. It made all the difference during our sunset shoot!

Afterwards, Crystal, Jamie and I played three person Mario and then I made Crystal sit through all my old film school movies. Complete with the Robot and my brother dramatically emoting in an office setting ... my films were always so hilariously emo.

Below are some images from my lovely sunshine-y shoot. Complete with people walking past the trail with commentary, "Is that Lady Gaga?" was my favourite ... or the obnoxious teenage boys slow clapping as they passed. Hilarious. Thanks Amber and Crystal!
