As most of you know, I work as a full time Graphic Design Coordinator during the week. My photography is squished in on evenings and weekends, and anywhere else I can find free time… whooo! Most of my days are spent designing, creating and brainstorming from my cozy little office, but every so often we get to venture out…! We had a booth at the International Builders’ Show last week in Orlando, and I got to attend and work the show with a few of my lovely co-workers. Rather than staying in a hotel, we rented a house where we all stayed together. It was awesome! It was big, cozy, inviting and comfortable… rather than taking an elevator down to a buffet breakfast of cold pancakes and warm milk, we just popped into the kitchen for a yummy taste of home. Groceries in the fridge, plates in the cupboard – “homey” was the word I’d call it. The show was a great success. Our booth had a constant stream of people coming in and out – I spoke with builders and architects from all over the world… Australia, Cayman Islands, Ghana, Puerto Rico… meeting people from all over the world was my favourite part!
Anyways, enough bore about business, here are a few shots to recap the trip!
1. Sunrise over the Rocky Mountains
2. Landing in snowy Denver, Colorado for a layover
3. Yup! That’s my bed!
4. The house had an infinity pool. No one used it as we were working all the time, but it sure was pretty too look at!
5. The Orlando Convention Center
6. PALM TREES!!! Oh it had been too long since I’ve seen one…
7. Totally workin’ it next to the pop up banner I designed (We launched a brand new door screen – The Legacy Retractable Door Screen – woo woo!)
8. A beautiful view from the kitchen
9. Our crazy cool + fun Marketing team
10. How I was greeted every morning :)
11. Reading material for the trip
12. We were blessed with free entry to Disneyworld! First stop – Epcot!
13. The Magic Kingdom!
14. Fireworks always make me cry… especially in the magical land of Disney…
15. It wasn’t sunny every day… they’ve got huge flash rain storms with drops the size of tennis balls!
16. Nothing’s as nice and coming back home… to your handsome hubby :)
And if you’re still reading, bless your heart… here’s a few more from my actual camera!
This is our booth!
We had a Motorized Executive Screen on the Walpole Woodworkers Shade Pergola booth…
And we had a Motorized Executive Screen on Kolbe’s booth…
We have 15 screens installed on this years New American Home…
The Marketing team working hard as usual!
And a few shots from the home we rented… it’s a shame we didn’t have time to use the pool…
It was busy but super fun week! I learned a tonne, got to know my co-workers a little bit more, and had a great time! Can’t believe it’s come and gone already… now to get ready for IBS 2013!
LOVE their reactions!!! So cute!
Aya’s flowers and ring were AMAZING!
I LOVE this one…
In all it’s imperfections, this photo below is perfect to me. I love how Luca’s in his own world… Marco’s making sure he’s ok… and Justine, you’re just looking GORGEOUS. I LOVE this photo of you my friend :)
Yup, this is why you two are my favourite :)
Aren’t Justine’s parents the sweetest? I took about 50 photos of just the two of them. They’re adorable!
How many times have I used the words “cute” and “adorable”?!?! Well, Chantale and Kyle are just that :)
And Monique and Howard… the soon-to-be husband + wife whom I get to photograph this weekend. They are going to make for some seriously gorgeous photos.
And… just a few more of Marco and Justine. Because why not!? And because… they’re beautiful :)
