browse other stuff & things i love posts. 1. the revolution movement volunteers. these people are incredible. we have 40+ interns working madly all week long on final conference prep, not to mention all the pastors and youth staff plus all the other volunteers. i was helping out at the church a little bit yesterday [...]]]> http://jamiedelaineblog.com/post/10656/six-things-to-love/
it would be awesome if i never failed. i’d never give up, i’d care for others more than myself, i’d be content with what i have, i wouldn’t boast, i wouldn’t insist on going first, i wouldn’t get angry, i wouldn’t keep track of other’s faults, i would delight in the truth, i would put [...]]]> http://jamiedelaineblog.com/post/10646/no-record-of-wrongs/







the most common question i receive via email is “i’d love to be a photographer but don’t know how to start. how’d you do it?” i wrote a post two years ago about the beginning of my photography story but haven’t written much since — and two years is a long time. so i thought [...]]]> http://jamiedelaineblog.com/post/10633/faq-getting-started/
with each passing year of being my own boss [over four] i learn more about how i work. the structure of my work day [including what hours i work and where i work] hugely determine the amount of work accomplished… and my mood while accomplishing that work. seasons are structured very differently as a wedding photographer.

a crazy thought hit me thursday night. in the past week, i had flown from melbourne to sydney [friday] then sydney to vancouver [saturday] then to bellingham to seattle to salt lake city [wednesday] — that’s a lot of travel, a lot of airplanes & a lot of not being home. from october until now, almost end of january, i have simply been going. going all over [...]]]> http://jamiedelaineblog.com/post/10558/homeward-bound/





day two of alt design summit passed quickly; in similar fashion to day one. friday morning involved a discussion on “the importance of consistent branding,” a session on “growing your readership” [hosted by oh happy day & making it lovely among others] and a keynote speech delivered by the brilliant ben silberman, founder of pinterest. one year ago, ben attended alt [...]]]> http://jamiedelaineblog.com/post/10570/alt-design-summit-day-two/


i am a huge fan of destination weddings; including mini-destination weddings! who says “destination” require a flight? often it’s only a long road trip or a ferry that you need. vanessa and craig had one at spirit ridge in osoyoos, alison and ryan had one on the sunshine coast, erika and malcolm had one on [...]]]> http://jamiedelaineblog.com/post/10530/tofino-destination-wedding-featured/
