Happy Holidays

Greetings everyone!

We didn't spend much time on Facebook or the Blog during the Holiday season, so we will say now that we hope you all had a lovely end to 2010 and that you were able to relax and reflect, spend some time with loved ones and celebrate the best in life.  There was so much excitement this year, both in our lives and those of friends and clients.  Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your big moments.  Weddings, Engagements, First Birthdays, First Teeth, New Pets, New Businesses, Family Get-Togethers, Galas, and Graduation, all made this year special and brought so many new faces our way. 

We were very happy to contribute our talents to a few short films and a television project, which we'll be able to share more with you about later on, and there are more of those projects yet to come for 2011.  One of the favourite projects was Darcy's music video for The Weathermakers song Stand Up In An Empty Room, which was shot entirely as still photos, and went on to place third at OIFF.  The Weathermakers released their album at the end of October and we can't stop listening to it. 

Last year we also worked with the University of Ottawa, the Haitian Consulate, Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, the National Capital Commission, United Way, Beau's, The Power of Movement, Love and Lipstick, Melody IaFelice, Fit Anywhere, Cherry Pie and RideauWood's Walkathon.  Thanks to these partners and more.  We look forward to working with you again this year to help make your events and programs a success and to exceed fundraising goals again!

Coming up in February is the WedbyHand show on Feb 6th, Ottawa's Alternative DIY Wedding Event and then the 2011 Power of Movement National Yoga Fundraiser for Alzheimer's and Auto Immune Diseases.  Check out their sites for details.

We're currently in NorthWestern Ontario, where we finsihed off 2010 and rang in the New Year with a lovely Winter Wedding in Thunder Bay.  We'll spend a little bit more time here with baby and maternity photos, a family session, and a little time with our family and friends here.  We'll see you back in Ottawa on the 5th!  There will be more posts (with photos!) to come, including highlights of 2010.

Wishing you all the best for 2011!
Natalie & Darcy
