Great Energy

January 28th was a great night for 15 women to get together at IMAGES by Ngaire, 408 Kellogg and discuss their goals for the new creative women project. I am enlightened and encouraged to work on my project for the group which is to photograph for my pleasure and not for payment…A year long project that will involve either landscapes or architecture or people or pets or anything of my choosing really…AND it will be a project to open my creative spirit. I hope to produce one set of images per month. I will post some images here throughout the year.

Another great opportunity!

Here is your chance to get in touch with your little 2008 self and see that person shine-on! Call me or email ngaire@mchsi.com if this sounds of interest to you….

The start date is Monday, January 28, 7:00 at IMAGES by Ngaire, 408 Kellogg. Light refreshments served. Please send me your feedback.*

idea of the group is:

• energetic, talented woman
• committed to a creative project
  • learn to paint or learn a new method or paint your first masterpiece
  • eliminate clutter
  • learn to play an instrument
  • take up running
  • a writing project
  • create a garden
  • become a yogi
  • become a more positive person
• meet once a month to talk about progress and share ideas
• plan to have a creative project “showing” at year end
  • part of the project “may” be to illustrate the steps you take during the year to complete your creative project

I hope my thoughts show that this is a creative project of your choice. Any thing you consider worthy of your commitment can be your creative project.

And of course these are just my thoughts, certainly room for other ideas.

computer slow down

Hello to all that are reading this post the day after Christmas! Hope your holidays were wonderful!

I am having some computer difficulty at this time and this is slowing down my ordering process. I hope to have the problem resolved by tomorrow. Thanks for you patience. Sincerely, Ngaire

New Policy

I have decided to put a limit on the time that IMAGES by Ngaire will keep the files from your shoot. One year from the date of the appointment is what Ive decided on. I think that after that time, children are changing so much that you are ready for another shoot. Ive also got a lot of files that I have to back up and use space on 4 external hard-drives. I want to put a limit on the file storage.

Thank you. Ngaire

Samples from Santa

Wanted to post a couple of shots from the night that Santa came to the studio. We we so thrilled to have such a great event that you and your children can visit and not have to wait in line at the malls…We are hoping to hold the same event next year and hoping that you will all be there! There were some favorites including some with ‘the girls’….

One more thing before I get back to some editing projects….This is part of a Christmas card designed in colaboration with the Horras family and myself…thought it was too cute not to share. Amanda chose the pearl finish in 4 x 5 folded cards…and it was just fabulous!!!!
