Calling Local 'Models' for Food and Product Photoshoots

As my food and product photography business has expanded over the years, I’m excited to keep growing and gaining more clients.

Currently I’m seeking enthusiastic individuals of all ages and ethnicities to model for photoshoots right here on our beautiful island, and/or in nearby towns when available: Chemainus, Ladysmith, Cedar, and Nanaimo.

No experience needed—just a love for food and fun!

Details:

- Flexible scheduling (usually discussed 1-2 weeks prior each shoot)

- Fun and relaxed environment

- Be featured in content for local BC and Canadian businesses

- Standard model release & NDA would be signed

- Compensation will be discussed on a case-by-case basis

Immediate needs (for shoots in July, 2024):

- 25-55 female & male

- BIPOC

If interested, please contact me at kristinakasting@icloud.com or @TinyMomentsCreative (on Instagram)

Come be a part of this creative adventure!

Cedar Beach Pizza

Inflation has finally caught up with Cedar Beach Pizza. Effective Monday the 10 June the price of a pizza is going up about $3 each. We have resisted as long as possible and many of you have recognized the bargain our prices have represented with your generous tips. We have appreciated these and they have allowed us to keep our prices low for quite a while now.

So get your order in for Saturday or Sunday and take advantage of the current price! Updated menus are available. I think we still represent a bargain, and we hope to hear from you soon.

And thank you for all of your support over the years!

80th Anniversary of D-Day (6 June 1944)

The Allied invasion of Normandy marks a major turning point in World War II in the European Theater. Of the 14,000 Canadian troops landing at Juno Beach, 359 died on that first day. The Normandy campaign would claim more than 5000 Canadian lives with greater than 13,000 more wounded or captured.

Only a handful remain alive today to share their experiences and to be honored by the generations born since for their sacrifices in the fight against fascism.

Richard Norris was 17 when he landed at Juno Beach. Yesterday he lowered the flag in Summerland, BC, to honor those who fought. Another veteran, Bill Cameron, 100 years old, died last Friday, the day before he was set to board a plane in Vancouver to take part in the official Canadian delegation in France.

Thirteen Canadian WWII veterans attended Thursday's ceremonies at Juno Beach, which followed a performance by Metis musicians, Mitchell Makoons and Morgan Grace.

"On the battlefield, francophones, anglophones, Indigenous people and new Canadians came together as one. Brave Canadians like you sacrificed everything for our freedom," said Prime Minister Trudeau. "There are no words to describe the immensity of the debt we owe you." Other speakers representing their nations included Prince William (Britain), President Biden (US) and President Macron (France).

Most of us will never need to sacrifice our lives to fight fascism. Democracy, however, does require that we vote.

Thank you, Virginia V.
