On the first day of christmas...........

......... my little friends gave me...... lot's of smiles and some tears for their christmas pictures!

As always it was a full christmas session season...... even squeezed in a few last min sessions. But it was fun!  and......... love how kids always keep me on my toes! I am happy to report I did not receive any christmas balls to the head! PHEW!
But alas...... I realize this comes after christmas...... and if you know me this comes as no surprise.... christmas lasts till new years in my opinion! ;)
So here it is a few samples of the little munchkins I had the pleasure of spending time with!!!!!!!

Revealed!!!!

Revealed………………..

…. so often we get so caught up in the stigma of what one is that we fail to see who some people really are……….. this is a little dedication to all the fabulous "Hockey Mom's" out there. 
I had the pleasure of shooting the "Hockey mom's" from my son's team this past weekend…….. we opted for a different type of fundraiser this year! 
….. soooo as with all my blogs…. there is a story behind it all…….. loll
In my original message to all the moms I had stated that we would be doing a "boudoir" calendar……… muhahahahahaha…. wow… at first everyone jumped on board and then………ext®me  fear and hesitation set in……… I must admit I did giggle a little……. It's a fundraiser for a childs hockey team….. we were not about to get down to our gitch!
So everyone came out and seemed nervous and did not know what to expect! Then I started shooting………….. one after another they couldn't believe how easy it was and NO ONE WAS NAKED! ;)
We laughed had wine to calm the nerves…………. and best of all had FUN!
As the moms of the team we do a lot….. packing equipment for games and practices…. carrying the burden of having your home smell like disgusting hockey equipment… or worse carrying that bag to the rink on your shoulder all the while having a smile on your face. We do bake sales and fundraisers and no one complains….. we do it for our kids and the love of the game. We travel to tournaments……… and dish out plenty of funds so we can watch our kids play a what they love……. and when your Canadian…. you play the game!  And each year as they tie on their skates…….. step out on that ice….. we feel proud…… proud of their ability, strength , courage, dedication and LOVE for the game of hockey!!!!! 

Thanks ladies for your help and support…… your all beautiful women who deserve at the very least a nod for all you do!!!!!
