hi all,

sectionals season is upon us and this year i am going to be photographing the eastern ontario sectional event. this is the first time in 5 years that i will not be at the western ontario sectionals and that makes me very sad, as it is my home section. best of luck to all my western ontario friends as they start the first step to the rest of the season. skate great! 

that being said, i am very excited to be photographing the eastern ontario sectionals. its quite a nice schedule this year, with events beginning at noon and ending fairly early. 

of course no skating season would be complete without me photographing kwsc's annual sectionals send off. this year i almost couldn't make it because i was also photographing a wedding on the same day! somehow i made it all work though and the day went of without more than one hitch (we did get stuck behind some train tracks and waited for ages but no train came!). i also spent the day training a potential new member of our team, and if all goes well we might be introducing a new face to the Danielle Earl Photography team in february!

i'm excited for this weekend, as it will be a test for me in how well i know my computer system and not just photo taking. usually my mother helps man the desk during competitions, but this weekend she will be in new brunswick taking care of my nanny who is very sick right now. hopefully i can remember where everything gets plugged in! wish me luck. 

anyway, i thought i'd write this quick post to wish all the skaters who are competing in their sectional championships over the next two weeks good luck. hope everyone skates their very best and scores new pbs! 

xoxo danielle
