Christmas 2008

Filed under: Blog,Children,Life — Holly @ 4:48 pm

I have to admit I actually took a break this holiday season, staying away from the computer as much as possible. But now that my holiday is coming to a close I thought I should post some shots from the holiday season.

Here’s a shot of the holiday baking I did this season:

A shot of the presents and filled stockings under the tree:

Noah waits patiently for his sister to wake up, while keeping an eye on the presents:

Rebecca checks out the contents of her stocking:

Rebecca LOVES her new winter hat, wears it while trying out a new game for the wii:

Noah plays with a new gift while keeping an eye on the wii action:

Hope all my clients and those who follow my blog had a wonderful holiday season!

SavvyMom Christmas Party

Filed under: Children,Headshots,Life,Out & About — Holly @ 6:20 pm

The kids and I had a great time at the recent SavvyMom Holiday party held at the Granite Club.

Air hockey was a popular choice!

Noah is gleeful with victory over his sister! lol

Five pin bowling was also fun!

The following are shots of the other SavvyMom kids in attendance. (You may recognize the first two if you’ve been following my blog for a while…)

At the end of the party we went in search of some natural light for a couple of head shots for the ‘About Us’ section of SavvyMom.ca.

Denise is the Food Editor for EatSavvy, and you may also remember how from this shoot back in October 2007:

Andrea is the Director, Sales and New Business Development at SavvyMom Media:

All and all a great time was had by all, and we all received gift bags of extremely yummy cookies to take home with us as well!

Out & About & Haircuts

Filed under: Animals,Children,Life,Out & About — Holly @ 11:37 am

Catch up time again! Kids and I went out the other week, hoping to get haircuts for both of them…unfortunately our haircut place was closed (due to construction on the street and no hot water!), so we ended up just running some errands.

Noah, on Yonge Street:

I can only catch fleeting glances of my daughter at times!

Had Noah pause for a moment, as I knew the out-of-focus ties in the background would offer an interesting colour backdrop:

At the dollar store a fellow asked if we could watch his dog while he ran in for a few minutes. Love how dogs just watch and wait patiently for their owners, you can tell that their owners are their lives, too cute!

Noah, in front of a Christmas light filled tree:

Rebecca, giving me the ‘look’:

In one of my son’s FAVOURITE stores, “Kidding Awound”, Rebecca checks out the merchandise:

Noah enjoys the garden/park in Yorkville:

Colourful holiday shop windows make for a very good background:

Finally, we return for hair cuts!

Don’t you just love it when your children discover the love of reading? Noah works on finishing his book while we wait for his sister to be finished with her haircut:

Rebecca, with her new hairdo. (Unfortunately she hates it now! lol)

That’s all for the moment, but will be posting more in a day or two!

Catching Up!

Filed under: Children,Food,Friends,Life,Out & About — Holly @ 9:12 pm

Looking back through my database of photos I realized that I missed posting some to the blog!

Oh, don’t we all wish it was this warm outside now? Love the bokeh of the out-of-focus trees in the background in this shot and the one below:

My children, showing some sibling love!

As I recall I couldn’t get Noah to sit still for long, or even look at the camera!

He did want to scooter though!

Refreshed my look this fall, and took some self portraits, I was happiest these two:

I’ve been trying to perfect my latté art, here are two attempts:

Now, don’t confuse these photographs of my sister, Monica, as more self-portraits! We do look alike, because we are twins! When she was over for Thanksgiving dinner I suggested I take a good photograph of her because she just looked fabulous, don’t you agree? 🙂

The first two images were taken in my front hallway, which gives great light for this, you may remember the photograph of my friend Diane that I took in the same location:

This one was taken in the driveway beside my house. You may remember photographs of my friend Jeff, taken in the same location almost a year ago:

That’s all for now!

Halloween 2008

Filed under: Children,Life,Out & About — Holly @ 7:55 pm

Well, I’m a bit behind in my blog posting! Another Halloween has come and gone!

Noah, dressed up for the halloween parade at school:

He was so well disguised that my mother, who was standing right next to me, didn’t recognize him, I had to ask him to remove his mask so she would see him!
