Welcome to Blue Bird Media

Okay Mother Nature, we need to chat…

Well it’s official, the days are getting longer with our clocks springing ahead one hour last night…. But nature decided to throw us a little party today by sprinkling some snow down on us today.

I had a great Daydream Weddings meeting today, and after I we were done I looked out side and couldn’t believe how much snow was falling! In a matter of two hours and wow I took some “spring” photos. (Although I know it’s not officially Spring yet!)

So let’s see what daybreak holds for us tomorrow, hopefully some sunnier skies and some warmer weather is on the way!

A new season of Top Model is starting tomorrow!

Okay so we always get excited when a new season of America or Canada’s Next Top Model starts up and that just so happens to be tomorrow night, March 4th! There will be I’m sure many cat fights, visits from Benny Ninja, fierceness, smiling with their eyes and of course the judging panel making the all important decision of who will stay in the competition, and become America’s Next Top Model!

Every Wednesday night it’s become a tradition that if you are in the area you are at my house watching the show, Cara and Nery are regulars, we’ll see who joins us this year!

Speaking of Top Model, Jen was involved with a photo shoot of a former Canadian Top model, Brandi. This was before Brandi was on the show and Jen was responsible for her makeup and styling. The photo was taken by Photex Studios. I have also worked with her in the past on many catalogue shoots, she’s a great girl and we were rooting for her when she was on the show! It was really cool seeing someone on a reality show we love to watch that we actually knew!

So put on your Jimmy Choos, your best frock, practice your runway walk and I’m sure I’ll be blogging a lot about this season, it looks like it’s going to be a good one!!

The room was cozy and Emily was so precious! Jen and Ryan are natural parents and the love they have in their eyes for their daughter melts my heart. We took our time and got some fantastic photos of Emily and her parents. Congratulations to the new Ackerman family.

Jen + Ryan Ackerman

Well we are used to taking wedding photos and now we’re branching out to maternity and family photos. Jen and Ryan are expecting their first child in January and in our wonderful snowfall in December we had a nice cozy photo shoot at their apartment. Now Jen is due in just a few weeks and you must agree she is looking phenomenal!! They are an amazing couple that are so excited to welcome their new addition to the world.

Put Your Best Breast Forward

amyC — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 05:19:01 +0000

Jen and friends decided to do some good this year. Creating a calendar with all net proceeds going to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation is a great cause. Jen was the main photographer (I took the shots she was in) and she did the make-up for the girls.

I designed the calendar and we have put together an event with a silent auction that will take place this week. We’re so looking forward to it and I’ll post a bunch of photos from the event. For now you can get a peek at the photos in the calendar, and if you want to buy one online here’s the jump: Buy your Calendar NOW!
