Sparkly New Background!! | Boudoir Photographers
I have been planning on making this background for almost a year now, and it finally happened!! I was so excited, there was no way I could wait until my next next boudoir shoot to try it out. So, I set it up in my living-room and had Penny (my sweetheart of a black lab) fill in as a model. I am so thrilled with the results!! It is going to be a GREAT addition to my equipment for boudoir shoots, so pretty and definitely a bit glamorous! I just can't wait to use it, I have so many ideas!!! What do you think?!?Truly,Karmen

A Long Lost Friend {FILM} | Edmonton & Red Deer Portrait Photographer
Wow, have I ever forgot about the challenge and excitement of shooting film. You only have 24 shots, you don't get immediate feedback via LCD, you have to rely on your gut. You have to think everything out ahead of time: composition, lighting, exposure and then wait for emotion. It is kind of fantastic to go back to the basics and breakdown a shot like that. Personally, I think it was just what I needed. A roll of film in a digital world to remind me what makes a photograph amazing. To bring me back to what made me fall in love with photography. And, you can't deny we all love the excitement of picking up a newly developed roll of film and then eagerly thumbing through the prints the second you are back in the car.... So here is my first, of hopefully many improving, film posts!
Truly,
Karmen

Africa Journal {WE HAVE FAITH CARAVAN} Day 11 | Edmonton & International Photographer
November 12, 2011 | Chitimba, Malawi to Lilongwe, MalawiDay #11- And we are off, leaving lake Malawi much to soon. Part way into the drive we discover we are stopping in Mzuzu, Malawi for a flash mob and mini-concert! As it is with most of the caravan activities, we knew nothing about this, haha. I never really figured out if there was a communication problem or if things were really getting planned this last minute. But either way, it was great little concert, so much more personal then the ones hosted in the capital cities!
Been wondering what the trucks looked like? That's them in the above photo.
TenSing Norway, as well as, the other speakers and performers put on an awesome show for everyone that gathered!
Ryan taught a couple of the boys to use the camera! They were so excited about that.
That was definitely not the only teaching going on. Caravan members were out and about talking to everyone about the purpose of the caravan and, of course, collecting more petitions!
Where you find a group of people, you will definitely find somebody selling something. I am glad to have met this bunch!
After the concert, we piled back on to the trucks and headed to our next campsite. We arrived at the not so fantastic Mybuya Campsite at around sunset. It was in the middle of Lusaka (Malawi's capital) and lacked that gorgeous countryside appeal. Also, they had very little water; it ran out completely only 45minutes after our caravan arrived! But it didn't matter much, everyone was tired from a full day. We had supper, attended some meetings and went to sleep.
Truly,
Karmen
Africa Journal {WE HAVE FAITH CARAVAN} Day 9 | Edmonton & International Photographer
November 10, 2011 | Dar es Salaam, Tanzania to Iringa, TanzaniaDay #9- Another looooong drive day, tents down before sunrise and back up after sunset. Today's twisting, narrow, mountain roads have brought us to a campsite called The Old Farmhouse, it is adorable! No power or electricity, but it is clean and cozy (as far as we can tell in the dark). The showers are warm, heated by a delicious smelling, steamy wood-stove and the 'long-drop' toilets are lit by flickering tapered candles; an ambiance I have certainly never encountered in an outhouse! The only downside…. It is FREEZING! After roasting in the Dar es Salaam heat the past two days, I literally cannot stop shivering. Lucky for me, I have brought a ‘Canada’ sleeping bag so I stay somewhat warm through the night, others not so much =(November 11, 2011 | Iringa, Tanzania to Chitimba MalawiDay #10- I honestly don’t remember much about this day, which means most of it was probably spent on the truck again. We crossed the border into Malawi (obviously) and arrived at Lake Malawi. We are staying overnight in another beautiful campsite nestled into the mountains, called Hakuna Matata Campsite. And would you believe it, they have a free power outlet. I wish I would have taken a picture! There was power-bar, after power-bar plugged into this one poor socket as everybody desperately tried to charge their electronics. Ryan, Ruth and I sat on the steps with our laptops, well, on our laps and try to edit in between power outages. It is quite a funny picture now, but I assure you at the time nerves were beginning to fray and it may have called for our first drink in Africa.The gorgeous Lake Malawi..
The bar, where we found the electricity =) To the right you can see the tents we sleep in every night!
Below is what mealtime around the trucks look like! And yes, we have basically ever meal at the truck.

2012 Marathon Dates {coming soon} | Edmonton & Red Deer Boudoir
Oh my goodness, can you believe that my last post is from October?! I am so sorry to have neglected my blog these last few months. As some of you probably know, I was blessed with an amazing last minute opportunity to travel to Africa to photograph a youth organized caravan. The whole thing was just a wonderful {maybe sometimes trying} experience but it left me a bit back-logged with work here at home. FINALLY though, I am all caught up and the time has come to start planning this year's BOUDOIR MARATHONS!!! I am currently in the process of booking locations, hair, make-up and everything else that we might need to make this year's marathons the best yet. If you have any questions, comments, suggestions or just want to get booked in early feel free to send me an e-mail here!
Truly,Karmen
