More Exciting News!

Some hours after I posted my excitement that I had seen one of my images on that website on Facebook, I got an inbox message from a friend telling me she had seen a picture of my dad and his sailboat in the Canadian Tire Outdoor magazine.

I quickly called my dad to tell him and we looked up the magazine online, and sure enough, on page 26, there he was! It's so exciting to know that one of my images is so readily available and being distributed all over Canada.

Here is a screenshot of pages 26 and 27:

Exciting

Excited is the word I would use to describe my current state.

I just completed my very last exam of third year. Now, I'm packing and getting ready to move in to my new house for the summer. I also get to start my internship, which is a photographer position for Bell Canada. I'm really excited to learn more about commercial photography and gain so many incredible experiences through that.

Last night, Paul sent me a message containing a link to a website. That website included one of my iStock pictures of us! I can't tell you how exciting it is knowing how one of my images has been used. It's on a site for eating disorder treatment, and we're on the left-hand column. Right underneath our picture, it says "McCallum Place uses expert clinicians & evidence-based care to treat Eating Disorders and other co-occurring issues..." so that must mean we're supposed to represent the expert clinicians. This is really neat because it's the last place I expected to find this picture!

Now, I'm off to get my room packed and ready for my mom to show up. We're going to do some city shopping and have a mother-daughter sleepover before I go home for a bit!

Easter Puppies

Even the dogs are ready for easter! Thanks to my mom who helped me capture these too-cute pictures!

Easter Preparations

I can not believe it's April already! This school year has flown by and I have completed all of my classes for third year, and all I have left is two exams. I have been extremely busy up until now with my classes coming to a close. I've also been interviewing for some positions this summer and my friends and I finally picked a house to live in next year.

I am home (at my parent's house) for an early Easter, and will be here until Sunday or Monday. Now that I finally have time to sit back and relax, I realize there's even more to do!

I've been doing a lot of Easter preparation for iStock over the past few weeks, and when I got home, I helped my mom get some Easter cupcakes ready for her website. It has been so much fun! We are also making a lot of do-it-yourself things for the home. I'm so excited because I love making things! I also plan to get the "gift shop" segment of my professional photography blog up and running soon.

Here are some Easter-themed iStock pictures I created:
