Grand Prize - Kate and Mac
Second place winners - Josh and Amy, and Andrea and Max
Congrats to everyone and have a super wicked day!
Firstly, thank you to everyone who entered the Photo Contest, winners will be announced on February 14th! All the entries were fantastic and now the hard part of choosing will commence. Just as a side note I do accept bribes ;). Secondly, it’s Monday…today I woke up and thought what a relaxed day I’d have but no, as soon as I go to my computer I see that there are a million things to do and I’m not even close to finishing anything. Sigh. “Looks like someone has a case of the Mondays” :P Well, I’m going to buckle up and see what I can accomplish today. Luckily, I have a network of friends where we all email each other our goals for the day and the week to keep us motivated! It really works too! So that is going to be step one!
P.s. If there is any topics you’d like to see me post on my blog feel free to email me or leave a comment below of what you’d like to see 
Hey everyone, just a quick reminder to keep those couple shots coming in for a chance to win some seriously awesome prizes! The due date is February 7th! Simply email contest@egabrielle.com and now you can email me as well (just to make things easier) at denley@denleythiessen.com Happy photoing! The details are right here if you don’t know them already!
Hey all! Just a reminder to keep those emails rolling in at contest@egabrielle.com. So on some of my spare time I love visiting contest@egabrielle.com. So on some of my spare time I love visiting movitationalphotos.com just to get a laugh or two when I came across this photo. Now, as some of you may be aware I have a tendency to get all mushy when it comes to cute couples and when I saw this photo I let out a big ol’ awwwww. Okay, so there are some things that I think are cuter than others and this is one of them. Couples who wear the same colours when they go out. I’m sorry but, it’s just the CUTEST thing ever! Hopefully this will help get some ideas going for you folks still planning your “Warm up to Love” photos!
Keep rockin’ it folks!
I am super pumped to announce this Photo Contest! My good friend and fellow awesome photographer Gabrielle Touchette and I were chatting a while back about how FREAKING cold it is in the ‘Peg when we thought of a great idea! Winter Photo Contest!
Its cold, a real mean cold. We aren’t as happy or active as we normally are in the summer. How oh how will we survive? Warm thoughts of course. That or vacationing in Mexico for two months. ☺ So we conjured up something to warm things up a bit. Because Gab and I love photographing couples and because giving away prizes makes everyone feel warm and fuzzy inside, we are going to be offering the following to 3 lucky couples!
Two couples will win a 1-hour photo session at a location of your choice with either Denley Thiessen or Gabrielle Touchette. You will receive a rockin’ 8X10 print and all the digital negatives!
The grand prize couple winner will receive a photo session with Gab AND Denley! That’s right, one lucky couple will have two crazy cool styles and all the delicious digital negatives along with 2 super cool 8X10’s!
Gee guys, that’s a pretty crazy awesome grand prize you say? No, that’s not all! We are also bringing on board the lovely and super talented Jessica Kmiec who will be providing make-up for the Grand Prize winners! Its Hollywood style baby! Ok, maybe I’m just a little too excited, but dang it, I’m getting all warm and fuzzy inside, and isn’t that the point?
The Fine Print.
Send us a picture of how you are keeping warm with your special someone*
Your special someone can NOT be a teddy bear…sorry!
The top three funniest, weirdest, cutest, warm, or cuddly photos will win one of the super awesome prizes, because you deserve a prize for surviving the winter in Winnipeg don’t you?.
The Fine Fine Print.
Send us your photos but try not making the files really big, we will have a hard time receiving them ☺ e-mail us at contest@egabrielle.com by February 7, 2009 at 11:59pm. Make sure to include your names and phone number so when you win we can tell you how awesome you are! Winners will be notified by phone and/or email on February 14, 2009.
Photo sessions will take place between May 1, 2009 and October 1, 2009. Only one photo may be submitted by couple. You may enter the contest for a couple you know if you take and send their photo for them.
And the last thing is you HAVE to tell your other friends about this contest!
Sorry I haven’t blogged in a while but I assure you I have been busy! If you haven’t added me on facebook as a friend then, get on it ☺ If you are a facebook friend then this won’t come to you as big of a surprise. So, this Christmas I have decided to take a little “hiatus” to Montreal rather than do the typical Christmas. For those of you who know me, it would come to no real surprise that I am doing something like this because I am known to, well, let’s just say I’m not a fan of tradition.
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Christmas, but the way I see it is that if I live a normal life expectancy, I will have many Christmases to come ☺ I’m kind of a rebel that way, not par-taking in the regular family traditions, and I’m sure I will miss them because I LOVE my family dearly, but along with the commercialization and the same old same old, I have opted for a “different” kind of Christmas.
I like change. I like mixing up the ordinary and making it unique. In this case, I’m calling a time-out! Reactions have been…interesting to say the least. Some people think it’s a really great idea but MOST think I’m crazy, and that craziness confirms more so that this is the right thing to do. Break away from the social norms! Who says Christmas has to be about opening presents? Who says it has to be about eating your aunt’s genuinely dreadful spinach salad? Not me!
Don’t worry; I have a partner in crime. My good friend Ronnie will be accompanying me to Montreal for our 9 day Tour de Montreal. Instead of opening presents under the fireplace, we will be learning about the city, the way of “The French” and their hospitality. Taking it the aura of Christmas cheer all along the way. Christmas this year will be about getting to know my country. Getting to know a city that I have been dying to see for years. This year Christmas will be about loving not just my family, but falling in love with Canada. Yeah yeah that was cheesy but I don’t care. I’ve been to the west, from Saskachewan to B.C., now its time to head east!
So enough about this rant. I wish everyone a truly, most genuine Christmas and let it be filled with what Christmas is really about, love. Give your special someone a great big hug and a smile, enjoy the company around you, and God bless.
Five days and counting!
P.s. Where are some good places to go in Montreal?
Welcome and Welcome back! So this is my new blog! There will be updates made all the time to make this blogs awesomeness even more awesome!
One of the things that bothered me about my last blog design was its lack of BIG PICTURES, so I’ve gone and added that feature! Another addition is an easier way of reading and commenting on comments! I hope you enjoy my blogs deliciousness as much as I do! SOOOOO, what do you think? (p.s. these are photos of my cousin Toby’s former bike. He sold it and moved on to bigger and faster things, but I still love the photos!)
The interweb has returned! Stay tuned for pictures from this coming up Saturday!
Just a quick update for everyone. Currently my internet is down in and around my area so I will be communicating from secret location (probably somewhere in the cayman Islands :P). I am still checking emails, but I cannot check them as often as I wish. My phone still works so no worries there!
Also, this weekend I am heading out to a shoot with a good photographer friend of mine, David Kujawa, from Kujawa Studios for some dance/motion photo shoot. It is a really cool concept and hopefully I can have some images up very soon!
Stay tuned for more updates!
Its Official!
I am so excited to finally have my website launch! This has been a month in the making and i’m sure you will like it! Click here to see it!
