April,

Always on the move. I got my trip to Toronto (including ball game), and had one of my images appear in a national magazine, wiping three things off my 30 before 30. I also got to go to the sugar shack, and to spend an afternoon in Saint John. Things are winding down now on the travel front though, and I’m looking forward to spending the summer mostly at home and a bit about the Maritimes, photographing weddings wherever I find them.

With the warmer weather coming, portrait season is picking up. This month I shared four sessions, and I have four more to share in the coming weeks. (Until then, view Hannah & Theron, Jill & Fen, the Walker Family, and Laura & Ian at their respective blog posts!). In addition being in FASHION, two of my shoots were featured on blogs this month: Hannah & Theron on Champagne Sweets, and Paddy & Megs on When Geeks Wed. As an added bonus, Paddy & Megs’ geeky tablescapes were noticed by Cubeecraft and Geek Sugar… very cool! Plus, since I forgot to mention it last month, I also won an Editor’s Choice Award… Woo!

I’ve also, as ever, been doing a lot of behind the scenes work, ordering goods, preparing documents, and otherwise getting ready for a busy season… and getting ready to finally reveal what I’ve been working on! Hopefully it will all come together at the end of May and I’ll finally be able to show off all the work I (and others) have been doing. I’m SO excited…!

At home I participated in the CleanUpFred efforts, picking up 8 bags of trash (including nasty business ranging from discarded coffee cups and cigarette packages to permanent markers and a pair of underwear) in my area; got braces; and was sorted into Hufflepuff.

…Okay, maybe the professional sphere takes this one.

xoxo,

K

Through & Through & Through | Fredericton Photographer Kandise Brown

April 27th, 2012

I’m having an indoor kind of day. An indoor kind of week, even. Today it’s raining and I’m taping up things with my new order of Cute Tape while watching another creativeLIVE/Jasmine Star workshop. Yesterday I was an editing machine, and I listened to pretty much Joel Plaskett’s entire catalogue while I was at it. [...]

The back half of my trip to Toronto: the Distillery district, CN Tower, Blue Jays game, and a teppanyaki restaurant. Awesome.

Huffle Badger Don’t Care | Fredericton Photographer Kandise Brown

April 20th, 2012

If you’ll forgive me, things are about to get pretty geeky up in here. You see, something happened the other day that has shaken up my life. Everything that I know about myself has been turned topsy-turvy. I’m having a bit of an identity crisis. I was on Pottermore and… The Sorting Hat. Placed me. [...]
 

If you’ll forgive me, things are about to get pretty geeky up in here.

You see, something happened the other day that has shaken up my life. Everything that I know about myself has been turned topsy-turvy. I’m having a bit of an identity crisis.

I was on Pottermore and…

The Sorting Hat.

Placed me.

Into HUFFLEPUFF.

 

….

 

Okay. So this is a new reality. See, I grew up with this series (oh, we are talking about Harry Potter in this blog post, if you didn’t know, and from here on in I’m not going to explain anything because you either know or you don’t), and while I think that many of us who did harboured not-so-secret desires of getting into Gryffindor (aka GREATEST HOUSE OF ALL TIME), I thought for sure that my Hogwarts home would be in Ravenclaw, house of the smug nerds. I could even see myself in Slytherin if it really came down to it.

But I’m a Hufflepuff.

The “everybody counts” house. The “it doesn’t matter if you win or lose, but how you play the game” house. The, in the words of my fellow newly anointed ‘puff, “house of mediocrity.”

I’ve had a few days to process the information, and maybe it’s not so bad. I do value hard work, tolerance, loyalty and fairplay, after all! Hufflepuffs are friendly and tenacious, and their animal is the badger. I think this is where public perception of the Hufflepuff goes deliberately blind, because… badgers are crazy. Badgers can run, badgers can fight, badgers are… well.

If the badget is my new spirit animal, I can embrace this. I think there’s more to being a Hufflepuff than I realized. Huffle badger don’t care.

Oh, and for the record? Vine with unicorn core, 10 3/4 inches, hard.

Call Me Maybe Obsessed | Canadian Photographer Kandise Brown

Okay okay I’m copping out a bit. I forgot to post a video for last Friday – when I was travelling to Toronto – and I mentioned on Facebook that it would have been the video to Call Me Maybe. Then I was away for pretty much the whole week and didn’t actually watch any YouTube videos, leaving me a little bit high and dry for this week’s video post. Until one of my friends sent me this, and kept the theme going…

(By the way, there’s some language and gestures in this video, if you aren’t into that. But now if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go get an iTunes card…)
