These photos are of my grandparents house in northern Italy that I took a few months ago when I went to visit. I've spent half my summers here in the mountains and in this house, where time seems to stand still.

Ninety Bears was born at the North Power Plant at the University of Alberta campus in 2008. "Like ninety bears" was a phrase used by one of our instructors to describe something as epic and cool as ninety bears. For some reason it really stuck with us and we even named our student art show in South Rutherford "Art like Ninety Bears".
There was ten of us, a mixture of fine arts and design students. Little did we know that many years down the road some of us would bring the Ninety Bears out of hibernation and add some new bears to the mix.
The Ninety Bears Collective is a collection of Edmonton based artists and designers adventuring through a forest of creative endeavors. You can see our instagram here.
At our last meeting, I took some portraits of us. Here is part one:
This is Kit.

In February I attended a wedding photography workshop hosted by a friend from school, Justine from Milton Photography. On day one we had a beautiful set of details to shoot and day two we worked with two beautiful couples. It was a huge learning experience as I have never directed poses or photographed people in a setting like this one. We had a few minutes of one-on-one time with each couple to have a chance to pose them ourselves and I felt so out of my comfort zone, especially in a room full of much more experienced photographers! Directing poses is something I need to work on. I also got to try a couple other lenses out and know which one will be my next purchase. I have only ever used the kit lens on my Nikon D90 and I am so ready for an upgrade! Here are some photos from the wonderful workshop:

I entered this photography exhibit a few months ago and two of my photos were accepted! I am really excited about it as photography has always been a passion of mine but something I haven't pursued professionally so this is just a step in the right direction! Here are the photos that will be part of this exhibit:
