Compared to last year, the weather was miserable. However, we didn't get completely soaked, and the wind didn't completely blow us all away, so in the end, it was a success.
The JDRF had a goal to raise just over $460,000.00 this year, and they were able to manage to raise $450,000.00 which is incredibly close. Even though the weather was not ideal, the crowd turnout was still very impressive. Here are a few snippets from the day. Even included some of the celebrity donor George Canyon. None of these shots would be possible without the assistance of my team of volunteer photographers. Mark Laurie, Drew Gregory, Claudia Tecuceanu, and Crystal Sujata. Several times a year, the organization Women of Influence hosts an evening speaker series entitled "Young Women of Influence" and I have had the opportunity to be a part of several of these events.
The most recent event held here in Calgary featured Jennifer Wong the Chief Operating Officer of Aritzia. It is always so encouraging and enlightening to hear young women who are successful in the business world speak and share their experiences, and Jennifer's stories were no exception. If you are someone who is just starting out, or even has been in her career path for a while, these sessions are always a terrific way to come meet other women and receive encouragement and perspective from women who have been through challenges of their own. I cannot recommend them enough. The Fan Photo Winner decided to do her photos right away. So here are a few from that wonderful day. He was the most wonderful little model and I was just so happy to hold his tiny body in my arms. He was such a strong and healthy little man. I loved calming him and wrapping him up and I had a wonderful assistant Dana joining me so it made for an incredible shoot. Mom was a terrific model as well and participated in a few shots at the end when baby was sleeping soundly.
Wow! What a fantastic event! First time doing this event and I am so impressed. Huge turnout, fantastic weather and incredibly well organized. If you have kids, this is a great event to attend and be a part of.
