Kaeleb and Family

Hello to all! The last two months have been a whirlwind with babies being born, photographed and personally travelling to Cape Verde for a Global Youth Training conference.

Kaeleb and his parents live in Vancouver, B.C. but they were visiting Edmonton for the Kaeleb's first time. This is where Kaeleb's maternal grandparents, aunt and uncle live.

Enjoy!

Walk a natural path with Dr. Alysha Somji

Dr. Alysha Somji recently returned from completing her degree in naturopathic medicine in Toronto. She's already keeping busy with new clients and working with Optimum Wellness Clinic in Edmonton. Dr. Somji's focus is family medicine, acupuncture and women's health.

Check out the pics below for her new practice!

Crankpots

Took the Girl Guides out to Crankpots in Edmonton this past weekend. The natural light in this venue was great!

Crankpots is a place where you choose a ceramic and paint it. The staff dip your art work in a glaze paint, throw it in the kiln and tah-dah...a masterpiece!

I can't wait to see how they all look when we pick them all up next week.

To protect the privacy of the children, I will not be posting identifiable images.

Winterfest 2010

This past December, I spent my first winter holidays in EDMONTON... brrr!!! I typically go home to Toronto to see my parents, cousins and friends over Christmas, but since we're trying to save for our wedding, I decided to stay in Edmonton and spend time with my fiance and his family. 

The Ismaili Community organizes Winterfest annually. I was so surprised to see the high participation rate from families and children and youth of all ages! 

I was asked to take some photos of the events so check them out below! 

(For privacy reasons, I have not posted any identifying photos).

I love 5-pin....I used to pick the "pretty" coloured balls to bowl with when I was a kid! 

My favourite shot of the night! 

New Years with a POP!

Happy New Year to all! May 2011 find you all with much happiness, love and success!

The past year is such a blur. I feel like 2010 went by with a blink of an eye! There were many ups and downs. This year's focus is to be positive and the rest will fall into place.

I rang in the New Year for the first time in Edmonton with friends and family, then spent the following evening with a movie and my favourite theatre treat...popcorn!

I couldn't resist... I had to make some popcorn while posting this entry....it's just so yummy!

Stay tuned for many fun adventures with Noreen Remtulla Photography in 2011!

Mistletoe Mixer

A few weeks ago, Spark Social Events and Networking held their first event, Mistletoe Singles Mixer in North Edmonton.

It was a huge success, raising almost $3000 for the Christmas Bureau of Edmonton.

Check out some highlights from the night!

At the single's mixer, the men were give keys, and the women, locks. The goal was to meet new people and find your "match"...lock and key!
