Thankful Thursday | Valleyview Alberta Photographer

Week Two of my 365 days of gratitude project.  Here are the things that I am grateful for this week:

Day 8 – I am thankful for the sound of leaves crunching beneath my feet in the fall.

Day 9 – I am thankful for warm toast, especially when it is made with homemade bread.

Day 10 – I am thankful for some new gear.

Day 11 – I am thankful for a fall road trip.  I just got back from another great camping trip.

Day 12 – I am thankful for this little radio when I am camping.  Especially when I get to hear some Neil Young:)

Day 13 – I am thankful for roadside pull-outs that look like this.  Gorgeous.

Day 14 – I am thankful for this gadget.  How I love my gadgets and this is one of my favourites.  I love how it keeps me connected when I am on the road.

Great photos on here! I especially love how you found a creative way to be thankful for your phone :)

I think you found your triangle with the tripod shot. :) I am in love with my phone too. Actually I have been teased that it is surgically attached to me. :)

Thankful Thursday | Valleyview Alberta Photographer

Last week I started a 365 project.  There are lots of different ones out there – 365 days of photos, 365 days of self-portraits, 365 days of clouds – just to name a few.  The list is endless but the purpose is always the same – to take photos each and every day.

I have decided to join my friends in capturing 365 days of gratitude.  For 365 days, I plan on taking a photo every day.  The subject of each photo will be something that I am grateful for.  You can read more about this project on the Creative Mama blog.  Each week, I will post my photos from the past seven days here on my blog.

Here are the things that I am grateful for this week:

Day 1 – I am thankful for water.  My most favourite beverage.

Day 2 – I am thankful for breakfasts that are already made before I wake up.  This doesn’t happen often, but I am grateful when it does.

Day 3 – I am thankful for my dog.  He is always there and has walked many steps by my side.

Day 4 – I am thankful that it rained and did not snow.

Day 5 – I am thankful for love.  It’s all you need.  :)

Day 6 – I am thankful for having a business where I get to do one of the things that I love to do.

Day 7 – I am thankful for warmer temperatures!

What a beautiful thing to do! I kept a gratitude journal for a year, where I wrote 5 things a day. Time to start that up again, I think! Your photographs are beautiful!

Thanks Belinda! I hope you start it again too :) I was very intrigued when I read about this project and I am quite excited about it!

Photo of the Week | Valleyview Alberta Photographer

I am a member of the Photographers of Etsy Team (POE) and through that Team, I found the blog of Jessica Rogers.  She has a Photo of the Week feature where she includes her Etsy teammates (from the Polaroid and POE Etsy teams).  I submitted one of my photos to her and this week it was featured on her blog.  You can check out Jessica’s blog and see all of the photos of the week here.

Thanks Jessica for including my work in Photo of the Week!

I’m not going to leave this post without a photo, so here’s a photo that I recently sold – Forest Silhouette (hint:  this isn’t the photo featured on Jessica’s blog.  You’ll have to follow the link to her site to see which one of my photos was featured in Photo of the Week.).

Finding Treasure | Valleyview Alberta Photographer

Have you heard of Etsy treasuries?  Depending on how familiar you are with Etsy, you may have seen or heard of them before.  They are lists of beautiful items that are currently for sale on Etsy’s site  The collections are curated by Etsy members and every single treasury is unique.  They sometime have themes based on colour or subject or sometimes they are random collections of items.  If you haven’t made a treasury before, you should try it out sometime.  You will discover all kinds of beautiful things while you are putting your list together!

I was featured in eight fabulous treasuries today and I want to say thank you to the Etsy members who included me in their beautifully curated lists!  Here’s a peek at some of my treasury features from today (you can find more of my Etsy Treasury features on Facebook).  Many, many thanks to blackstarboutique, TheFlyingMoose, frogprincessdesigns, alterdelenda, sandijagt, juliechristie, and fivelittlegems for featuring my fine art prints!

Stocking Up | Valleyview Alberta Photographer

Besides offering portrait sessions, I also sell my fine art photographic prints.  One of the ways I do this is through Etsy.  If you haven’t heard of Etsy before, be warned…  it can be a bit of a time sponge!  The site is full of so many beautiful things including handmade and vintage items.  It’s a great place to browse for special gifts or to find that “perfect” item you’ve been looking for.


I have my Etsy shop stocked with a variety of prints and new products featuring my photos will also be added soon.

Custom sizes of most prints are available by request.  Feel free to send me an email if you would like additional information.

And, because what’s a post without a photo?  Here’s one of the fine art prints I have for sale in my Etsy Shop.
