new blog address

Hi! For those of you who are wondering why I haven’t posted something in a while, it’s because we’ve been getting some more work on the website done. The work is now finished and we have a new home for the blog. Please visit us here, we look forward to seeing you!

Main Street Midwifery

I can’t believe how quickly time passes! It’s already been a week since I went down to deliver new images to the Main Street Midwifery Group. I had planned to photograph the new displays that day, but mother nature had other ideas…it’s a little hard to photograph windows in the pouring rain Eric went down a couple of days later to get these images for me to share. I have to admit, I’m very proud of the new images and will be putting a few new ones up every 6 months or so.

With the new images up, I put together a special for clients of the midwife clinic and will share it with all of you. If you reserve a maternity or newborn or family session before October 15th, 2010, you will receive a free iPhone or Facebook movie! If you reserve both a maternity and newborn session, you will receive the movie with images from both session, along with a set of 25 greeting cards. So give us a call at 604-273-0401, we look forward to hearing from you!

Sweet Charlie Anne

There are times in our lives that we have to be brave and selfless, but could you imagine facing that everyday?

I’ve been following this blog for a while, and I always have mixed feelings when I read it. I am in awe of what Cherie and Matt have to live with on a daily basis, and am very impressed by the way they handle it. I also feel great sadness, as it does not seem fair. I often read Cherie’s posts with tears in my eyes. I wonder what I can do to help and the truth is, not much. My own daughter is only a couple of weeks older than Charlie, and I’m so grateful for her health. Reading Cherie’s blog keeps life in perspective, it makes a lot of the daily things that we face as parents seem quite trivial.

For a number of years, I volunteered for Camp Goodtimes. It is a camp for kids with cancer and I always found great strength in the wonderful spirit of these children. I had several occasions to visit a few of the kids at Canuck Place and know what a wonderful place it is. Which is why I’m asking that you take a moment to read Cherie blog, follow the link to her adventure challenge page and do a little to support Canuck Place, and all that they do for amazing families.

Thank you for your generosity. And Cherie, if you happen to find this and read my post, thank you for your amazing courage. Your daughter’s beauty and spirit shines from each of your posts, thank you for allowing us to “know” your family.

Up and Running!!!

Well, it’s been a very long time coming. I’ve been needing/wanting my website to be redone for about 2 years, but life always seemed to get in the way. With so many things on my plate, I was okay to let some things slide and I did love my old website, so it was one of the easy things to let go of. I think that’s part of the reason that I’m so very excited with the new design It feels so good to be able to check something off my long to do list and be able to say “I’M DONE!!!” I hope you’ll take the time to go and check it out: www.kalemphoto.com

Also, I would love to hear any feedback that you might have about it. So either post your comments here or send me an email!

And just because I can’t really post something without a photograph attached, here’s one of my favourites of Ella!
