The word Alchemy points me to the notion of finding beauty in the ordinary and mundane. It is how I photograph - I strive to find the extraordinary, sometimes in unlikely places. In a recent workshop, I learned that my purpose and passion is to play and explore whatever is wonderful and authentic in this life journey, as well as to encourage and inspire others to do the same. Through this blog, I invite you to come along as I play and explore in my Wonderland!

Milestone Portrait
This is hubby and I on my 36th birthday, with me being 26 weeks pregnant. This year, we celebrated in Sidney, BC with Sean's dad & Colleen. We decided to drop by for a weekend visit before I go to a five day photography workshop at the Shawnigan Lake School.
It's been a great day. I woke up to a "wall" full of birthday wishes on Facebook - so encouraged! Thank you to everyone who took the time and effort to send me a birthday greeting. We spent the day strolling downtown Victoria, stopped to have lunch at the Bard & Banker Pub, then came back to chill on dad & Colleen's patio for a bit before we were off to a fantastic dinner at The Chalet in Deep Cove (yes, they have a Deep Cove here, too). Now, we are on a friendly girls vs. boys competition on Rock Band. Guess who are winning? Girls rule - was there any question?! =P
I guess this is the last birthday that I will be celebrating before becoming a mama. I suspect that birthdays after this one will be a lot different... but I'm looking forward to them =)
