New Look
A few people have asked me about the new look to the website. It's my new "branding". I did feel like the old branding suited my style, but it wasn't quite perfect. So, I set to work with some new colours in mind, and a list of what I wanted people to "feel" when they saw it all. Check out the website HERE & tell me what you think!Yes, I will be updating the blog to match. :)

Delicate Wishes
These pictures were taken with my 5D using the "Reverse Lens Technique". AKA: The Poor Man's Macro. :) I do have a couple macro lenses, but I was curious to play more with this technique. I have done it before using some of the lenses I own for my normal shooting, but recently had an idea and bought a used, manual zoom lens from eBay for about $40 in order to try out some things I had read. I think I will post a tutorial on it, because it sure is a GREAT tool to play with.
The part that stunned me the most when looking through my viewfinder, and through the images after, was the CRAZY BOKEH!! SO COOL! You can't tell very well in these pictures, but I have more and will post them with the tutorial. :)

Busy! Planning! Excited!
That is how my days have been lately. I have been busy planning, and I am excited!!
Do you have your morning coffee, afternoon tea or evening glass of wine ready? This is a PIC HEAVY POST!! YAAY! I love pic heavy posts! Don't you?!
First... I got a new bracelet from Etsy. WOW, I love etsy. This bracelet is the perfect thing to encourage Earth Day all year 'round!! It's made from recycled bike tire!! dullleadsinker is the brilliant creative behind these fabulous bracelets! She also makes chokers and belts! I am SO getting a belt when I am done my new work out DVDs. (Yes, I bought work out DVDs off late night tv. More on that later.)
You can also see one of my new nail polishes in that pic. A yummy deep, dark, glittery burgundy. Looks black, until you get close to it. I rarely wear nail polish, but when I do I tend to suit that dark, edgy stuff. I also got a GLITTER FILLED, cherry red the other day. Going to try that in an "at home" day before I venture out in it. :)
At the beginning of the month it was my son's 3rd birthday! Holy Hana! I can;t believe that much time has flown by! So much has happened since then! Can you believe that I stopped sewing and selling my dress creations for girls not long after he was born?! It's been almost 3 years since I have made any funky clothing for sale!! Oh crap. I always do this... digressing. Off on a tangent. I'll get back to that one though. ;)
My son turned 3 and along with turning 3 was saying good-bye to his tricycle, and hello to not only a big boy 2 wheeler (with training wheels) but also a COOOOOL peddle car!!
We were lucky enough to have my dad in town and so the playing began! (Some of you who have read this a long time will know my dad works abroad and comes back every 3 or 4 months for a visit, and I am REEEEALLY close with my dad. As a total daddy's girl, and as a friend. For those who didn't know that... now you do. :) )
At first my son thought it was all about pushing him around as he giggled with glee. Then when we all got tired of taking turns, and wanted him to actually learn how to use the cool peddle car, a wee bit of crying and having a snit ensued. Quickly recovering when he realized the only way to have fun was to get on the thing and go. Then the only issue was "ride the new bike, or ride the new car". Not a bad problem.
The peddle car I actually found at a GREAT kids consignment shop. Saw it outside when I pulled up and KNEW that was what was coming home with me. I usually go to kids consignment shops to any gifts for the kids, before I go to the store to buy them. I truly believe there is too much plastic crap out there, and any time I avoid buying new plastic crap, I do. Garage sales would be place #1 to find stuff, and we are now getting into perfect garage-sale weather, but my kids have enough crap right now, thank you very much. :)
Love these pictures of my son with my dad and my sister. His face in the one with my sister is PRICELESS!!
LOVE IT!
He has such a Christian Slater/Jack Nicholson look.
It has been a great month or so of having my dad visiting with the various bits of family around Langley & Washington as well as his friends on Salt Spring. Lucky us. Lucky him too. ;)
He heads back today or tomorrow, but I don't feel bad for him having to leave this awesome family of his... he's heading to Tuscany for a wine tour with some of the closest, and coolest, people. Lucky bum.
Yes, I'm totally jealous. But when I'm a big kid I will start checking things off my "must do" list too. :)
Took a quick picture of a couple of the CDs I was sending out. In the time that I have started using this cool new packaging I have sent out a bunch without taking pictures! Oops. So I took some recently. Ta da. You like? I do!
This picture was from "date day" with my man. What a totally wonderful day. I planned a few things to do with a bit of room for wandering. It was awesome. We found a great tea shop, had FANTASTIC sushi, walked through an amazing forest to come out the other side on the edge of the ocean and a beautiful sunset. It was a delicious day!
Okay.. So... the announcements!!!!
I know some of you are going "finally! Geez that girl can TALK!" ;)
They are both to do with the business aspect of my life.
Can you guess what one of them is... ? Here is another clue.
Any guesses? (I am feeling rather cheeky right now! Hee hee!)
And for the other announcement... Did you know rhembein does GRAD / PROM / SENIOR portraits??!! Here's a taste. And soon there will be a new gallery up on the website for you to view too. :)
If you want to come have some fun and get some grad portraits that better reflect who you are, as well as get some sweet pictures of that outfit you spent so much tie picking out... gimme a shout! If you live in the Lower Mainland that is. ;)
