After a glorious Thanksgiving weekend, I'm getting caught up on a bit of blogging and am excited to share my annual I Love Local HFX's City Harvest adventure with you!
I Love Local HFX – City Harvest 2014
Julianne & David – Rainbow Haven Engagement Shoot
I love it when couples ask if they can bring their pets along to an engagement shoot... I always say of course! They are part of the family too! Caper (the little one) and Italia (the bigger one) came along with Julianne and David to our shoot at Rainbow Haven. They were hilarious and so cute together, best buddies.
108 Yoga – Halifax Yoga Studio
From the very beginning, my experience at 108 Yoga was warm and welcoming. The space is calm and relaxing and the members are all skill levels, ages and body types. I always feel comfortable and supported by the instructors as well as the other members in each class. There are lots of options for different kinds of classes running throughout the week at different times during the day. I love that I never feel rushed or pressured to go beyond my own personal challenges (or to compare myself to other members). The instructors at 108 encourage everyone to listen to their own bodies and go at their own pace... I really appreciate that because some days just feel rougher than others! The important thing, for me anyway, is to consistently show up and do my best, whatever that might look like!
Open City 2014 | I Love Local HFX
My two favorite days of the year in Halifax: Open City and City Harvest hosted by I Love Local HFX. These events encourage Haligonians to experience a selection of what Halifax has to offer all in one day, so that they become better ambassadors for Halifax and to get more out of life in the city. This is year three and I see more and more people participating each year. Shops, restaurants, cultural organizations, attractions, charities and government all participated in over 100 locations! The energy is always happy and enthusiastic... our sluggish spring weather didn't even slow the crowds down!
Red Balloon: It's Kind of Like a Carnival!
As a photographer who loves vibrant colour, big smiles and lots of laughter, this photo shoot with Colette and Laura of Red Balloon is easily one of my favorites. The concept they brought to me to launch their brand new website was the carnival. Yes please, sign me up! These images are full of energy, whimsy and joy... everything you can expect from an experience with Red Balloon!
