3ML Accounting & Office Support

This year, I decided to hire an accountant. My cousin-in-law, Amber, sent me an email saying that she, and two of her friends, were starting their own business. So, now, I have my own accounting team. They are 3ML (3 Moms with Laptops) Accounting and Office Support. They did such a great job on my income taxes, and for every referral, I get a $10.00 gift card for Starbucks. I've snagged myself $80.00 worth of gift cards so far! I had the pleasure of doing their photo shoot, as they needed some new photos for their business. Thanks guys, you rock my tax world - lol!

And hey, if you need your taxes done, they'll be serving MARGARITAS on the patio while they do your taxes on Saturday, April 25th, 2009. And hey, if you choose them to do your taxes, just tell them, you were referred by Eileen :)

Ah yes, I am not the only one with the famous 'jump shot'
Wouldn't you want these sophisticated women doing YOUR taxes?!  Haha - we had a lot of fun on this shoot and I thought I would post one of them acting crazy!

Sunday

ABEL

I had an awesome opportunity to photograph my brother's band, ABEL.  I love it when my clients are up for anything - these guys were not afraid to walk through the mud or climb on old dirty trucks.  Thanks guys, I had so much fun with you!

Photo Chicks - session 2


For our second 'Photo Chicks' session, we had several photographers and several models.  It was a cold day, but we had lots of fun nonetheless.  Here are some of my favourite shots!

My fabulous friend and musician, Melissa Albertson.  Check out her band's website: Even Keel

Ausome!  She was so cute and fun to shoot - yes, she was awesome too :)
A slightly daring stunt.  Anything for the shot...
James and his lovely girlfriend.
I had Melissa's husband help us out with this shot!  He'll appear on my blog sooner or later too.


Kevin was such a sport - he came along and helped carry all the photography gear.  I had to get some shots of him too.

She climbs trains...and trees!

Photo Chicks - session 1

Some photographer friends and I decided to start a photography group. A group to have fun, do on-location shoots, studio shoots, share ideas, help each other with photo editing, etc. I had my make-up and hair done, and got all dressed up funky-like and posed as the model for our first GTG (get together). Anita posed as a model near the end of our shoot to give me a bit of a break and shoot as well. Here is the photo I took of her, and here is one that someone else took of me.


Trash the Dress - Melissa & Tyrel

I did another TTD shoot with Anita, and we had Melissa and Tyrel - it was like they were just married and we were shooting their formals. They, like Kristie, got pretty cold, and although it was a few degrees warmer for them. But when you are out in the snow with bare arms, it's all the same. Love their dedication to the shoot!





I love this shot.  I had Anita do my shoot here, but it was fall.  I had photos in this exact spot, and it sure looks different.  I love how the same location can look amazing no matter the season!


Love this photo with the branch...


Going in for a snuggle to keep warm.





This is a great shot too - love her eyes...


It started snowing half way through their shoot, and made for some sweet photos!
