You may think I’m crazy and you may be right. However, putting that aside for just a moment, I have to tell you that I LOVE TO CAMP IN THE WINTER. Whew! It felt good to yell that out. Nuts or not, I’ve been doing an annual wilderness winter backpacking trip for about a decade now. Each year I rally a few others with strong hearts and weak minds and we head off into the great outdoors. This years trip took us to the Adirondack mountain range in upstate New York. It was a joy to be surrounded by breathtaking beauty and the solitude that only a snow ladened trail can provide.
I could go on and on but I’ll shut-up now and let you see for yourselves what you’re missing. Enjoy!
As I recall there were no complaints form the peanut gallery when they had to spend a good chunk of the afternoon with me in the park while their friends were all at school. We had a blast at our outdoor fall session. The leaves were great once we got to a park that still had them. I had scouted this great location the day before our shoot. It was filled with leaves from these beautiful old maples. The ground was awash with colour and there were other elements that added so much to the scene. The morning of the shoot I showed up to find a City of Ottawa crew just finishing up leaf cleanup. D’oh! One of the workers was both insightful and kind enough to inform me of a nearby park that wasn’t scheduled for cleanup for a few days. Off we went! Once there, we raked, we threw the football and we laughed. Along the way we captured some really fun, natural, fun images.
Check out some of the highlights for our time skipping school. Hey! Yeah that’s right, YOU. If you’re reading this drop us a line in the comments and tell us which image is your favorite. Thanks!
Hey I said I’d do better and here I am back again already. Thing are looking up! :~) To say this one is overdue is more than an understatement.
Let me tell you about an awesome family that I had the privilege of spending a sunny afternoon with. The Wilsons rocked the park and we got some great family portraits, laughed, played, had a leaf fight. There were a few times I could hardly hold my camera as laughter got the best of me, thanks Rob! You know things are gonna turn out great when joy is at the heart of what you’re doing.
Thanks for a fantastic session guys!
You know how it is. You get your head down at work and go, go, go. You come home from a hard day and go, go, go. You get a call from loved ones or friends and go, go, go. You get to the end of the day and you find your go, go, go, has got up and went.
That all sounds a little bleaker then life has been for me and ultimately makes a poor excuse for not posting with more regularity. So this is me getting back at it. I’ve got a backlog of some sessions to share with you and I’ll be trying to be a little more regular with my updates.
Stay tuned!
