A snapshot of us at Jubilations for my Dad's 50th birthday... it isn't too often that we both look presentable in a picture ;)

YES, I will *DO* Weddings in 2008!

For some of you this is a HUGE announcement. I have been asked to photograph weddings, and for the longest time I was undecided on this. It means weekends away from my family, and that was a HUGE factor to take into consideration. On the other side... I want to be there to capture your special day! The emotion, texture of your dress, colorful flowers, stolen moments, special glances... the list can go on forever :) For small town Plamondon, I want to offer *more* goodies! DVD slideshows, storybooks, online images to share with your family and friends and so much more! I have created the 2008 Wedding Price Guide for Photography By Adrienne. If you or anyone you know is interested please contact me as soon as possible. I am due at the end of April with baby #3 and will only take 4 bookings for the summer of 2008. It will be a trial summer in a sense, to see if it works with my family or not. I will commit to 4 weddings after June 30th, 2008. Hope to hear from some of you soon!

I love these 2 !!!

My kids are never perfect, and neither are my pictures (stupid shadows!) of them! But I love these 2 kids more then anything :) I am so proud of them!

Taking a Break

It's Wednesday... my full day to work!!! Kids are at the babysitters having a blast and Rene works every Wednesday.... it's a great day for me to get stuff done with my business :) Here are a few more from Abigail's session!

Oy!

Hang in there, please don't mind the mess I've made of my blog.... I hope to have it looking a little nicer soon! I don't like this header, but I think I have an idea on how to get it to 'work' now! I just need TIME :)

MUST KNOW {COLOR}

I did a maternity session last week, and when everything was done, we loaded the session onto her computer to look at. I was starting to worry that none of the pictures were properly exposed! I was beginning to freak out and worry that I didn't take ONE good picture, and that I would be doing a lot of work on them in Photoshop.... we then opened my blog and I quickly realized that it wasn't the pictures, it was actually her monitor, and colors on her screen. I was a bit surprised that she hired me, after seeing my work on her computer! lol.... so I thought I better bring it to everyone's attention that not all monitors will show things the same way. I know this too because last year I had a really old monitor, and after buying a new one... I went back to see some pictures I posted on the web to find they were all extremely overexposed. My monitor was dark so I was over compensating. A big mess anyway. SOOOO if things don't look 'right' on your computer, please take the time to check it out somewhere else and see if you can 'see' a difference! My prints that come back from the lab are really close to how they look on my monitor.... but if anyone has a concern, please do not hesitate to talk to me about it!! :)

Work, Work, Work....

It's so much fun going through pictures.... today I am working on proofs, as I have about 5 sessions to go through. Taking a little break to share this image of a family I had SO MUCH FUN working with. They are so sweet, and the children were so well behaved... we went to my favorite location too! Here's just one that made me smile.... there are so many good ones to come, but I just love how Mom is holding her son and all he wants to do is make a funny face..hehehhe I can't wait to share more!

{Personal News}

Personal....but the kind you want to share with the whole world............. Baby #3 will be joining our family end of April 2008!!!! Yuppers, I am pregnant! We are so excited, especially the kids!! Still very early but if any of you *really* know me, you know I can't keep a good secret like this for too long....heheheh I found out earlier this week, and the Dr. has confirmed it!! WOOHOOOOOOO okay back to editing pictures :) Thx for checking in!

Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!

This time I'm sending BIG Birthday wishes to My Daddy who turns 50 today :) Anybody who knows him will agree he looks much younger for his age! We are meeting up with him and my Mom...along with my brothers and Alix and going for supper at Jubilations to celebrate. I will be away from my desk Thurs/Fri/Sat/Sun... I will be checking my email throughout the weekend though!

Another special Birthday Announcement to my very good friend Angie :) Happy Birthday Chicky!

Something New!

I've been wanting to learn how to do one of these storyboards for some time now. I was sick yesterday and again today and finally had some time to figure it out (in between proofing sessions!) Thank you Angela for letting me use your proofs to try this with! Sorry I spelled Blais's name wrong........I would have had to start over to get it right, so I applogize! This storyboard is a 10x20 collage with 4 portraits from your session and would be plaque mounted... no framing! I'm going to print one for my family next month and will post pics of it on my wall so you have a better idea! I think that these would be beautiful gifts at Christmas time! Thx for looking :)
