My Sister & I

Remember a really long time ago (aka last October) when I said I had won a contest? Photographe Rachel Barkman redid her website and offered a free photo session as a prize for one randomly selected person who commented on the new site. I was the lucky winner, but as I was in Ottawa at the time, the photo session had to wait.

A couple of weeks ago I was finally able to claim my prize and here are the results: a photo shoot with my sister Heidi, my favourite wool sweater, and a typical Pacific West Coast drizzly day (flat, damp hair is a Vancouver standard, right?).

Heidi flew out of town two days ago with a one way ticket to Germany. She's marrying Manuel in May and wont likely return to Canada for a couple of years. It's very strange to see her go and really makes these sister photos extra special.
