Life has gotten quite hectic these last few weeks, which has pulled me away from Photography almost
I have added some new photographs to the website, photographs from a HipHop show at Barcode Nightclub on February 25th, as well a recent photo shoot with the one-and-only Skulastic from Nanaimo’s HipHop crew Skulastic + Konfidential.

As a Juvenile Diabetic of 16years, helping the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation raise the funds it needs to help the lives of all Diabetics around the world is very important to myself and my family.
I’ve decided to donate 50% of all Portrait sessions to the the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes, via my fundraising team(Donor Page), as a way to do my part to help.
If you book any Portrait session between now and the end of May, I will make this donation. Not only will you have photographs to show off to friends and family, but you will also be helping a very worthy cause. It’s win-win all around, and I hope you will take part!
If you would like to support this cause but do not have the time to book a Portrait session at the moment, donations can be made by:
Online: http://jdrfca.donordrive.com/participant/nwoods
In-Person cash or cheque by contacting me at 250-686-7161 or info@whenshuttersclick.com!
Even if you are only able to donate a few dollars, I hope you will consider doing so. Every penny counts and any donation is greatly appreciated! Individuals who donate $20 or more are issued a tax receipt after the June 13th event takes place.

That’s all for now folks, Cheers!
Well the last couple weeks have been pretty hectic in life in general, what with my planned VFF volunteering, my full-time job, moving and the Liam Biggs music video.
While I was so excited to volunteer with the VFF Photo Team again this year, I fell ill with the cold just days after it started! What started off as a planned 13hours of photography coverage, ended up only being 4 1/2 hours!
I covered the Pre-Fest Bash and the Opening Gala the first weekend of the festival and have added those images to the site under the “Events” section of the website.
As well, I have added photographs to the “Behind the Scenes” section from the Liam Biggs music video. It was a pretty interesting set to be on and I can’t wait to see the final product! Enjoy!

I am currently undergoing the long process of re-designing my website.
The first step? Figuring out what I want and where to find it. It’s the worst part of the process and I’m stuck! If anyone knows an affordable web-designer who can assist me in making a new layout that is user-friendly and easy to update, please send them my way!

For a limited time I am offering free band photography kit!
You get a photo shoot, a show photography and a CD of the images for website/facebook/myspace use…all for free! I’m only offering this for bookings made in February. The shoot and show can take place as late as April for this offer, but you have to confirm a spot with me for the photo shoot/show before February 28th!

This week I signed up for a Studio Lighting course through Luz Gallery in Victoria, BC. I can’t be more excited than I am! I have always worked with natural lighting outdoors and only moved into the studio when there’s been no choice. The whole reason being..natural light is easy to use, you can’t fiddle with it..you have to find a way to make it work for you. Studio lighting is changeable and takes experience/skill to use. I’m looking forward to building that experience/skill and start taking advantage of Studio space more often.
As well, this weekend I am buying a Holga 120N camera from Camera Traders and will be taking it out this weekend to experiment with. I look forward to processing the film and seeing the results! I will of course add any image worth showing off to the site.
That’s about all there is from me at the moment. I hope everyone has a great weekend!
Cheers,
Natalie
