Heres a sneak peak at one of my lastest shoots
Wow life is moving fast.. I can't believe June is almost over. So people have been bugging me to update soo tadaa here I am lol. June has been interesting. I was fortunate to volunteer with the Women Empowering Women workshop in my community. The basis of the workshops was to have basically to empower other women to change their lives, to make an impact on them. The workshop was faciliated by the working women in the community and the target was the underemployed or non employed women. It was about learning, I taught scrapbooking and there was just so many wonderful workshops, from photography, cooking, self care to education. On the final day of the workshops 20 women were chosen for makeovers. I got to assist with chosing outfits, from head to toe and doing hair and makeup. Now the joy in these womens faces was amazing. They did a fashion show at the end and wow they looked and felt incredible, I cried. They were so appreciative and empowered. I took alot of their aftershots and they were soo happy. It really made my week and made me appreciate the women in my community.
Sunday June 20th I had the Annual Underwear Affair which is a 5km walk to raise money for all Cancers below the waist. This is the third year me and my sisters have participated in honour of my dad. Its always emotional for me because it falls on the day before fathers day. I enjoy the walk each year and this year alice walked with me or rather I carried her one my shoulders for 3km lol. It was great our team raised 1200. Next year my personal goal is 1000. I was inspired by one lady who raised 6000 on her own wow. So I guess i better get started on my goal. Thx to all my friends who donated.
My daughter Alice was suspended from daycare its been rough for me dealing with it. Not because she is bad but becuase of the pressure it puts on you as a mother and a working mom none the less. Alice during the month of may has been biting at daycare and also has been biten. She was singled out and suspended the whole situation is idiotic really but sadly she is one that is suffering because some people don't know how to run daycares. But we have been dealing with it and hopefully it will be resolved this week. The situation made me feel for alice, wonder why she bites is she frustrated, scared? I want to help her but then i have to work.. have or want or need.. I don't know. I wish wish wish I could just stay home but i really need the experience so that I can decide my own hours but for now I have been trying to take more time off and trying to spend more time with her. It has brought us closer and she is trying to communicate rather than bite but I have to keep remembering shes only 2 and 1/2. I have contemplated putting her somewhere else in another daycare or something but having her just across the street from me comforts me. Becuase then I can only be 5 min away from her and abby. I know its just a phase but its heartbreaking. Well i hope its resolved soon... sigh...
well on a happy note i did a wedding.. its taking me foooorrreeeevver to edit because i really have no time lol.. between work and alice and life I find it hard to sit and just edit.. but i like the ones i have done so far and i can't wait for the finish product. It was my cousins wedding and I did it for free as a gift so they are happy regardless lol. well I better get cracking..
thanks for being loyal lol
