</div>
Oh, wow...I'm not even going to get into how long it's been since my last post. It's actually almost shameful! It's not that I haven't had things to post about, because I definitely have, I guess I just don't always make my blog the top priority...my bad!<br />
<br />
Anyways, the reason for this post is because of a wonderful holiday I like to call(as does the rest of Canada) Thanksgiving! Yes, this is a humble post about a holiday that's a gateway to all things fall! What started out as a simple instagram post turned a tad too long, and resulted in this post. Besides, not everyone has such a medium to express their gratitude towards all things good in their life...may as well take advantage! So, as I watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving I will explain to everyone why I'm one lucky little lady!<br />
<br />
(Please keep in mind, none of this is in any particular order.)<br />
<br />
#1: <b>My Bad Cooking Skills</b><br />
I know this is a rather unusual thing to be thankful for but honestly, I'm proud of every last burnt grilled cheese I've made, all the soggy macaroni I've over boiled, and the pancakes I've misflipped. My inability to cook will always remind me to laugh at myself and not take myself too seriously. I mean, it's a pancake...worst case scenario I can whip up a pretty tasty bowl of cheerios! Plus, when I do get that recipe just right, it's one the greatest feeling...even if it is just a dangerously delicious deviled egg!<br />

#2: <b>Bacon</b><br />
I feel like anyone who doesn't fall on the side of a vegetarian understands why this has made this list. I know all my family and friends aren't shocked to see this on my list at least. To say I've had a slight bacon obsession for many years would be an understatement! I'm sorry, but that crispy, salty goodness just can't be beat! <br />

#3: <b>My Photography</b><br />
The main reason I started this blog! I honestly don't remember what I
did without my camera. It's been an amazing creative outlet for me. My
camera makes me so incredibly happy! I honestly don't need to make
another penny on a photo shoot, I just need a smiling face in front of
my lens! (But I'm not giving out free shoots...ha!)<b> </b><br />

#4: <b>My Passport</b><br />
I guess this can sound like a stupid thing to be thankful for but truly, I am so blessed to have been given the means and opportunity to travel. Not everyone has the chance to explore different parts of the world and witness first hand the cultures and way of life in other countries and continents. I'm not necessarily talking about flying down to Cabo and spending a week getting drunk on tequila(even though this isn't a terrible vacation...)<b>, </b>I'm talking about actually walking in the same shoes as the locals. From my first trip abroad (many, many years ago) my eyes were completely opened to how different life can be outside of the tiny bubble I grew up in.<br />

Who
else can melt your heart with a slobbery kiss? Who can remind you how
out of shape you are with a little jog around the block, or cuddle you when
you're having a bad day and suddenly turn it all around. Is there really
anything better then knowing no matter what there is always someone
waiting for you at home that will love you unconditionally (no matter
how naughty you may have been...).<br />

#7:<b> My Roomies</b> <br />
Even though these two people technically fall under #9, I think they are owed a special thank you! As most know, I moved to Toronto a couple months ago. What started as a plan to live with my sister and her husband for a month or two turned into a bit longer. Things definitely have not gone as perfectly as I had envisioned with this move and some days can be frustrating, but I've had the most understanding and patient couple to live with. While some might have kicked me out for rent being a week late, or for not always cleaning my dishes, they have been extremely helpful in doing what they can to help me out.<br />

#8: <b>My Niece & Nephew</b><br />
I'm being slight bias here, but these two rock! I know everyone says
this about the little ones in their family, but trust me when I say that
this is the truth! I do not have any children of my own yet but if this
is the kind of love one has for their own children then I can't wait to
have a few little Courtneys running around! I honestly didn't realize
it was possible to have a little kid as a legit friend. My niece has so
much charisma, charm and personality, I often wonder how why I'm so
lucky to get to call her family. She makes me laugh with her wonder and
amusement with the world. Her creativity and imagination makes me
jealous of her carefree life. I love our facetime dates when I can hear
all about anything and everything that's currently running through that
little mind of hers. I'm pretty sure I can talk to her longer then some
of my friends...but that might be because half our 'talk time' ends up
being "watch me play with my barbies!'<br />

#9:<b> My Family</b><br />
I don't even know where to begin! I can't say enough about how amazing
my whole family is. The sacrifices they have made to benefit my life,
well I don't think I could ever express my full gratitude. Everyone has
gone well out of their way to make sure I could get the career I always
wanted, and make sure those dreams I had as a little girl would become a
reality. Not to mention all the laughs we've shared over the years, or
all the daily phone calls with my mom, or all the amazing adventures
I've been on across the globe with everyone. It isn't always said enough
but I honestly don't know what I would do without my family. And now with my move out east I've collected a new family as well! My sister's in laws have been so warm and inviting to me since I got here and I feel like I've now got an Ontario family as well! With invites to big family dinners, to helping me with my golf game, I appreciate each and everyone of them and all their generosity!<br />

#10: <b>My Awkwardness</b><br />
This one probably sounds a big self centered but I think it took 25 years for me to be finally be happy with how 'un normal' I am. I may say the wrong thing at the wrong time, pose for too many selfies(in public), laugh until I cry, or just flat out pull out the ugly cry. However, that's what makes me different and that's what makes Courtney...Courtney! I think most people spend their teen years running from what makes them different, and then spend their early twenties searching for what they were running from. I wish I knew in high school what I know now. I wish I hadn't spent so many years being ashamed of what made me different.<br />

I swear, this time I have a valid reason for my absence...I moved! That's right folks, I up and shift my little booty across country. Thankfully, I've got my sister and brother-in-law out here to keep me company(and give me a bed to sleep in). However, this blog post isn't about my new home in Toronto...it's about the newest member of our household! I would like to formally introduce everyone to Norman Eugene Campagnolo! He is just shy of three months and already quite the handsome little devil! Naturally, being the photo obsessed lady that I am, I had to do a mini photo shoot with him. Think of this as a newborn photo shoot if you will...only with a puppy! They say dogs are like children, right?<br />

Well, well, well...unless my calendar is lying(which has happened before), I'm pretty sure today is Valentines Day! I hate to sound like such a dork, but I adore this holiday! I know what you critics are saying, "she must have received a dozen roses, along with a bucket full of diamonds, from an absolute stud...no wonder she loves this holiday!" And to that I say...hahaha!! I can assure you, I'm as single as they come(wink, wink to all the hotties out there!), I did not receive one flower of any kind, and the only 'ice' I got near today was the kind in my glass. And yet...I still celebrate this holiday with as much oomph as cupid! Why? Well, first off, I'm a firm believer that I don't need a man in my life to live it...why can't I celebrate the love of myself? Haha! Not to mention, celebrate the love I have for my family and friends! Sure, sure, sure...I could show this appreciation year round(and I do!), but we can also celebrates gingers year round...but yet we have St. Patty's Day for that! I guess it just takes me back to the excited feeling I got as a kid when I anxiously awaited getting all my valentines from my classmates, and eating all the pink, heart shaped cookies! Who doesn't love that feeling of being five again?<br />

So, what are my plans this Valentines Day? One of my best friends and I are dressing up and checking out a new Italian restaurant in town. Like I said early, why not celebrate the love for your friends? Oh, and just a shout out to pinterest for his gift. Everyone go check out this <a href="http://petitefemmejolie.blogspot.ca/2012/02/diy-52-things-valentines-day.html" target="_blank">link</a>...it's seriously so cute, easy, and affordable! It literally look me an hour or two and it is such a personal gift! Doesn't pinterest just save the day...like everytime! :)<br />
<br />
xoxo(double that today!)<br />

What comes with a love for shopping? Clothes...lots and lots of clothes! Lots and lots of clothes mean a very full closet for a Miss Hoover! I've known for a long time that I've needed to do a good clean up however, the inner hoarder in me has basically been putting a lock on my my closet doors. But, just days before my deadline for the list I finally sucked it up and just did it! I can honestly say, I never expected it to be so difficult. I can't tell you how many times I shifted my favourite striped blazer from a bin to hanging up again and back to the bin again(I got an unfortunate stain on the lapel that I've been trying to cover up with broaches...to no avail). Who knew one could get so emotionally attached to clothing! However, at the end of the day I must admit it feels so much more organized and less crazy! Hopefully now it wont take me hours just to pick an outfit(just kidding...I could have 5 things in my closet and I'd still be just as indecisive as ever!)<br />

<span style="color: black;">So, it's official...I've hit the big mid twenties! Yikes! I know, I can hardly believe I'm finally old enough to...rent a car! Haha! Look out Avis...I feel a strong need to use and abuse my new found power! I did want to do a quick post to show everyone what a lucky girl I was last week. Not only was my actual day perfect but last Saturday I also had a little get together at my friend's apartment followed by a dance party on Whyte Ave. All in all, I have to say, if last week was any indication of what 25 has in store for me...I will have one of my most epic years yet!</span></div>

Ummm...could my Justin Bieber/Courtney cupcakes get any cuter?? Note my signature pearls, polka dots and red lips? I nearly died when I saw these! Better then I could have ever imagined! I have one of my sister's close friends to thank for these! If anyone wants contact info so you can make a cupcake order just message me...I promise, you won't be disappointed!<br />

Do my friends know me, or do they know me? Only Bieber can finally put into words what makes me so special (my straight up coolness...yo! haha!)<br />
<br />
Also pictured here is the jello shots (or what's left of them), and not pictures are my white chocolate, s'mores pudding shots. Can you say delicious? Yummm!! Thank you pintrest...always so many creative ideas! **Sidenote: Everyone please follow me on pinterest @Courtneyhoover!! :)<br />

My one and only Ginger! Could I love this guy anymore?<br />
<br />
And shortly after these photos were taken, absolute nonsense started...but those photos and stories will have to wait for another blog posting...or not! haha!<br />

I have to say this possibly one of my favorite family shots I've ever taken. Sure, there isn't smiley faces but I love the imperfectness(if that's even a word) in this shot! There were bees EVERYWHERE and a little girl who was very camera shy. I guess I just love the humor in the shot!<br />

I don't want to brag...but I think I should get a gold star or something for getting done two blogs in three days! Haha! Kidding!<br />
<br />
Anyways, this particular shoot was done back in December. I've had the pleasure of shooting this little princess many times now and each and every time she is a rock star in front of the camera, and this time was no different. I promise this shoot took no more then 15 minutes and I could have put every shot up on the blog. I don't think I could ever pass up a photo shoot with Isla...I mean, just look at those eye! Could you say no to those?<br />
<br />

Seriously...WAY too long! I've had so many posts I wanted to make I've just been...sucking at prioritizing this blog! My bad guys! I'll try better for the new year, promise! So lets start off the new year with a shoot from December. I had planned to put this up the week before Christmas, but I'm sure everyone can agree, a ton of plans fall through that week. Who wants to blog when they have cheer to spread and sparkly things to look at? haha!<br />
<br />
This particular shoot was a bit of a random one. I had shot this gorgeous couple in May for their wedding so last minute when they decided to make some Christmas cards I was honored they thought of me and asked to do a small shoot with them. I can't express enough how much I enjoy shooting these two. It's rare to get a couple that is so willing to try new ideas and shots. It's tough to explain to a non photographer but knowing someone trusts your vision and art (as wack-a-doodle as they may seem) seriously makes this job worth it. Plus, the amount of laughs that happen when I get to shoot Cody and Nicole, make it not even seem like a job. So to my two lovely models, I thank you!<br />
<br />
Ps...not because of my photos, but I just have to say that their christmas cards ended up being amazing! Nicole is one talented card maker! :)<br />
<br />
xoxo<br />

I know, I know what everyone is thinking...where on earth did you find such good looking models! haha! Wouldn't you know it...these fine folks are Fort Saskatchewanites! I must thank Eric and Shannon for helping me out last minute. This shoot was thrown together in a couple of days and I was happy to have such wonderful volunteers. And wouldn't you know it, they aren't even a real couple (they are just that good at acting angry! Props to you two!) Oh, and everyone is probably wondering as well why I seem to hate men so much! I don't...trust me...but I loved the idea of doing something other then a photoshoot showcasing love. Plus, to anyone who knows me, I am usually the complete opposite of angry and vengeful...so it's fun to shock people too! :) I hope everyone enjoys!<br />
<br />
**Word to the wise...just because some of these photos may depict some violence, I in no way condone any of that. Please, oh please, no killing teddy bears and blaming it on me...poor Teddy did nothing to you!<br />

( I'm back!!! )This July was a very busy month for me. A trip to Jamaica the first week, and a trip to Vancouver the last week. I am one lucky lady! This trip to Vancouver (or VanHOOVER, as I prefer it) was a long time coming. It was about four years ago I moved from Vancouver to Edmonton and being back in one of the greatest cities brought back so many memories from some of the best years ever! Some of those memories include one of my greatest friends from college, Jo. So when she invited me to her wedding...could I really say no? Of course not! I was honored to go and celebrate such an important event in her life. She had chosen a nautical theme for her nuptuals, so when putting together my outfit I chose a twist on the nautical theme. <br />

I have to admit...the neon trend has really got me hooked right now. It brings me back to the 90s...when my mom dressed me in neon colour blocked polyester track suits. Why that makes me happy and giddy I have no idea...but the thought of neon just brightens my mood. However, I do try to follow one rule when wearing neon (a rule my mom...or anyone in the 90s clearly hadn't heard of...), do NOT go overboard. If I am wearing something neon I try to pair it with a neutral. Never wear too much at once. I usually feel safe following this trend as long as I am sticking to that. </div>

If not...ch-ch-check it <a href="http://littlemisspolkadots.blogspot.ca/2012/07/one-beautiful-bride.html" target="_blank">out!</a> Even though I did get a chance to use my camera on the day of the wedding, my main purpose was to stand up for my sister (which I did proudly, and hopefully well). However, the following day was more my style because it was...TRASH THE DRESS DAY!! Woo! My first official trash the dress. It took a bit of convincing to first, get my sister to agree to get into the ocean with her dress...and second, to get her husband to agree to another day of photos. It was a hard sell for Tyler, but he's a good sport so we had about 15-20 minutes of his undivided attention. Perfect! <br />
<br />
I have to admit, with my fashion background I quickly realized trash the dress is much more my cup of tea. I love all other styles of photography but I find TTD is more about the art behind the shot...and its ok to go a bit off course with the shot...think outside the box a bit more...turn it more into an editorial style shoot. I will admit I was pretty nervous...after all, this was my sister's very expensive dress about to be ruined...to quote Eminem "You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow. This opportunity comes once in a lifetime...yo!" So yes, a nervous nelly I was indeed! <br />
<br />
I do have to thank my lovely sister for completely trusting me though, I don't think I would have ended up with the images I did if she hadn't. So these are just a few of my favourite shots...but believe me, it was NOT easy picking my favourites...but I made some tough cuts and narrowed them down to the following...ENJOY! :)<br />

This next photo deserves a quick back story. When I said before that Brittney put complete trust in me...I meant it! See, she has a tiny fear of water, so right before this photo I had asked her to lay on her back and float...2 problems with that...#1: the look on her face was pure terror (and as her sister I can say utterly hilarious!), and #2: the way her dress was no matter how hard they tried the air pockets in the under layer would not go away...making it look like she had massive balloons under her dress keeping her afloat. Fortunately, even though that particular pose didn't work I got this super cute candid of Britt and Tyler after. You never know how you're going to get that perfect shot!<br />

If not...let me introduce you to the my monster on my back right <a href="http://littlemisspolkadots.blogspot.com/b/post-preview?token=_Q-WHzkBAAA.OChtE72QwCjzvpL_yDlmHg.JMwtdcPgK6Hk_JfC7PNhCA&postId=8056949805957518973&type=POST" target="_blank">now</a>. Finally, after making this list two months ago...I've completed one of the items! Horray! List item #18 has officially been completed...I saw my sister tie the knot. Admittedly, this is the only item on my list that I had no control over, but it was checked off none the less!<br />

These are just a couple of shots that I took at my sister's wedding in Montego Bay, Jamaica. It was a beautiful wedding on the white sandy beaches. I had the honor of being my sister's maid of honor, and was an emotional sap during all of my duties. Ok, I know what everyone is thinking...what the heck were you doing with your camera when you were in the wedding party. The answer is simple...my mom handed me my camera before I nearly exploded. Seriously...exploded! Maybe I'm a tad bias, but Brittney is one of the most beautiful brides I have ever seen. How could I not want to capture some of that beauty! Sadly, I only had about 5-10 minutes shooting time, but it was enough to at least get me though the day. I'm so lucky to have a mom who knows me so well...and lucky my sister had a photographer that didn't mind me jumping in.<br />

Say WHAAAAAT!!Blog #3 and I'm already getting deep...real emotional stuff in this posting! Hold on ladies and gentlemen...this may be a bumpy ride! So, as the title suggests, I've been experiencing one particularly unpleasant emotion today...jealousy! Thats right...the nasty old green eyed monster! Now, why would a chipper young lass, such as myself, be in such a mood today? Is it because of a boy...heck no! Is it over a pair of shoes...shockingly, nope! Then why? Its because of...a beautiful city called New York. <br />
<br />
You see, being the fashion/photography obsessed person I am, New York has always been the place of my dreams. Since the time that I was knee high to a grasshopper (not really...but you get my drift), I've always known that someday, somehow, I would get to call that city home. Due to certain circumstances *cough* stupid visa *cough*, I've been unable to make it there, thus far. Other than a brief weekend encounter, I've had to get by on watching New York based films, and pinning basically everything NYC related on pintrest. This, of course, only aids in my craving for the city, but I just can't help myself. <br />
<br />
I know, you're probably thinking...if you torture yourself everyday with thoughts of New York City, what happened today that made you so jealous? Answer: reading another bloggers post about their fresh move to the city. This isn't just any blogger either, its someone I went to high school with. She was the Golde to my Yente. She, just recieved a job in Queens, after completing her masters in history (i think its a more complicated title then that...but lets go with that!), a feat that is quite incredible. I would even go as far as saying that its inspiring to see someone, from my small town, make it to New York. However, I think you can probably understand why I was feeling a tiny bit jealous. As I got lost in her blog posting (which is fantastically written...by the way), I couldn't help but want so desperately to jump through my screen and be right there...I could practically taste the pizza from one partical photo! Please don't mistaken me, I'm so unbelievably happy for my friend, which is why I was so surprised at my reaction. I guess the 'J' word is just on of those emotions that happen, its not a feeling you can generally control. Maybe, its how you deal with it...and I, for one, think writing a blog post was a very productive way of dealing today. So, until I can paint that town in polka dots, I'll just day dream while watching reruns of Sex and the City. So for now, I'll leave you with a couple of my favourite pictures of myself. (haha! How self involved do I sound?) They were taken during my visit to NYC two years ago...hmmm...I wonder why they are such favourites...ha!<br />

OOOH wait! I almost forgot, I want to provide a link to my friend's blog. I strongly suggest everyone goes and checks it out. Like I said before, it is incredibly well written, and there are cute pictures of NYC and its all around a great blog! Soooo...<a href="http://ayersa.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">CLICK HERE!! </a> I promise, it won't disappoint! :)</div>Dotshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12217652802047157575noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1666582156612578422.post-80569498059575189732012-06-04T22:15:00.000-07:002012-08-28T19:02:35.196-07:00The LIST!So, after officially making my first post last night, as you can imagine, it made me a touch giddy all day. Well, giddy and completely motivated (possibly a tad delusional as well...) to complete other things I've been meaning to do for awhile now. So...I compiled a list! I figure since I now have this handy dandy blog to speak my mind on...this will be a perfect place to keep track of my progress!<br />

I've been waiting a few months to make sure my blog was good enough to finally make a posting, so this has been a long time coming.<br />
<br />
This past Saturday I had a wedding to go to in downtown Edmonton. My boss from a previous retail job was tying the knot. I wanted to make sure I looked cute, but not too fancy. I've been a tad obsessed with colour blocking this season, so when I came across this dress a few weeks back, I knew it would be perfect for this wedding. Normally, I don't wear tights in the hot weather, but, after a long winter, my legs could use a little colour so...I decided to cover them up!<br />
