Owen Yours Truly

Owen Yours Truly

 Thanks for stopping by my photography blog.  If you haven’t had  a chance to check out my website, please take a moment to visit:  http://owenphotographie.com

In the meantime, I want to share with you a little bit about me.  By doing so, I hope you will get a sense of who I am and feel comfortable enough to introduce yourself as well. 

My name is Owen, its a guy’s name I know but it works for me.  As beautiful as Rowena (real name) sounds, I respond to Owen a lot better…don’t ask me why. 

I am a photographer, a single mom to two beautiful kids: Josh and Troy, a daughter to Gus and Gina, a sister to Roxy and Drew, a sister-in-law to Jeff and last but not least, a friend.  How many times have I found myself staring at a fork in the road and whether or not I have made the right choices, my family has always been behind me, supporting me, loving me.  I am thankful to them for sticking it out with me through both sunshines and storms.

I am creative.  Life without creativity is like a brook with no water, a tree with no roots.  But photography was not my first creative endeavor. I grew up playing the organ, a little bit of piano but most of all dance.  I was married to my dance…Most of my childhood was spent in dance studios, amidst tattered tights and smelly, sweaty hallways.  A knee injury ended a short ballet career but opened up doors for street  jazz and folkdancing.  I was  a member of two dance companies in the Philippines (where I was born and raised) , traveled and performed in concerts and television. I hung up my jazz boots when my family immigrated to Canada in 1996 where I focused solely on finishing university, raising my 2-yr old son and starting over.   In 2005, a year after the birth of my second son, I picked up my first DSLR and I knew right there that I am back “home”, reunited with my creative soul…

I am respectful, loyal, honest, openminded and hardworking.  These are values I hold dear and something that you can expect from me.  I believe that these are ingredients to a successful relationship: be it  a friendship, family or business relationship. I am thankful to my parents for instilling this in me and I intend to pass these on to my kids by example. 

I am strong.  We are never given a cross too big nor too heavy for us to carry.  Being a mom at such a young age and all the other challenges that came my way afterwards taught me to look at a glass always half full.  I welcome every challenge that comes my way because I know I can turn those into opportunities for growth.

I am in love.  I am in love with life, my kids and the people I photograph.  There is always something so magical and beautiful with the couples, families and kids I meet.  They are nothing short of amazing!!!

So that’s it… Please don’t be shy and reach out to me.  So now that you know a little about me, feel free to say hi, introduce yourself, and let me know how I may help you.  This is my home on the web and you are all welcome!
