It has been great to get out lately & photograph something that I am comfortable with – yay for wildlife! Not having to worry about light intensity/distance from subject, batteries wearing out & what light modifiers would work best in this situation; only you & your subject & that ever, oh so beautiful, but brief moment of contact with one another.
Born May 16th 2007, Teagan just celebrated her 3rd birthday - Happy Birthday!
Teagan was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in December 2008. Talking with her mom about the symptoms of diabetes was the only reason we caught Parker’s diabetes so early on with little complications.
To say these young ones are tough is an understatement – with countless blood tests & insulin injections every day – one tends to grow up a lot faster than they need to.
I will never forget September 10, 2009.
That was the day my son was diagnosed with type 1 juvenile diabetes. He had just turned 2 years old.
Juvenile diabetes cannot be prevented & he will never outgrow it.
Countless blood tests & insulin injections are given on a daily basis – he is by far, the toughest kid I know.
Please visit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) - jdrfca.donordrive.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.par... & learn more about this disease.
Stacy & I will be walking for the cause on June 13, 2010
Wrestler;
Basketball star;
Regional finalist in track & field;
A remarkable dancer,
& to top it off, valedictorian for her graduating class of 2010.
For sure, Nicole has much to jump for joy for – good luck in your post diploma endeavors!

I work with many amazing & talented individuals & Tamara is one of them.
First thing you notice with Tamara is that she is always smiling, upbeat & very down to earth - little gets her down.
Not only is she at the top of her class with her academics, she was just nominated for youth artist of the year with her involvement in the Haliburton Dance Arts. So when you add into the mix a veteran white water paddler at the age of 18 – you get a pretty complete & well rounded (& compact) package.
Paddle hard Tamara & keep up the great work!
