Hot Air Balloon Ride - Calgary Photographer

Last Sunday my wife and I finally had the chance to use my first year wedding gift, which is from 3
years ago.  Jenn had purchased a Sundance Hot Air Balloon ride for us to use, but when we got to our scheduled fly date Jenn was pregnant with our third child, Cameron, and low and behold they don't fly pregnant women.

So we said we would reschedule... when I finally stopped procrastinating and made the reservations they were all booked up and we couldn't fly at the time we wanted to. So there we had to book in for the following year but at least we had a date set!

August 14th came a few short days after we got back from an epic 30th birthday week in Las Vegas (thanks hunny!) and we were off at a ridiculous time in the morning to go flying.

Were we worried? Nah maybe a little.  Were we excited? yes a lot! Was it amazing? HELL YEAH.
Its was a crazy thing just floating around up there checking everything out, a crazy feeling of awesomeness and nervousness that I would love to do all over again.  I highly recommend going on a balloon ride the next time you want to try something different.

And here are bunch of photos after what ends up being a lot of words!

Make sure the fire works!

They use two big fans to inflate the balloon almost all the way...

 Here Dale starts to add the heat!

As Dale adds the heat it stands up and we gotta run and climb on in!

The view right after take off. You can see the van and truck in the lower right.

I CAN SEE MY HOUSE FROM HERE!  That's the car in the front and the newly shingled roof that looks like it may be two colors...

Langdon and Mead lake.

At one point we were VERY close to landing but changed our minds when we realized it was an 

Alf-alfa Field.  We "dusted" the crop with the bottom of the basket for about 20 feet.

In the end we landed safely and helped pack everything up so we could head to Chestermere.

Once in chestermere we had a Champagne Toast as it is a old French tradition...9:30am and drinking, I think we thought we were back in Vegas!

 Thanks for looking and feel free to leave a comment!

How to make a cupcake disappear in under 30 seconds. Part Two.

Every birthday we seem to decide to make a cake better than the last. You know you have to step it up each time right? Well I think we did a great job at that. We decided on the Caterpillar from Baby Einsteins. To do this we needed to make a ball cake..or 3...

 

Ball Cake halves made and ready to go!

We had a little help again from some great friends, Andrea and Jesse. They came over to help and we stayed up until nearly morning putting the final touches on the cake and cupcakes.

Cameron had a great day for his birthday and so many friends and family came by to celebrate with all of us! Thanks for coming everyone!



Cassidy even helped mix some icing!

New Website - Calgary and area Photographer

It has been a long time in the making... but it is finally ready for all to see and enjoy!

Corey, my web developer, and I have worked on getting this new site ready for months now. Corey has put it endless hours to get the new website to where we wanted it.

Everytime we thought it was done, I changed my mind and had him redesign major sections. This is the reason why it has taken so long.
