As promised, here’s the followup newborn session. I’ve got to tell you that I love these sessions. They are just so incredibly fun and have a sweetness factor of ten. Not to mention that Pete & Karen are two really special people that I have had the privilege of knowing for a number of years. If you’re a longtime reader of our blog you’ll recognize Karen’s face. She’s been working with me as a model for some time. Get the two of them together, add a sweet new baby and let the good times roll. Pete’s always quick to lighten the moment and Karen’s wit & kindness gladden your heart. This session was a joy. Thanks Pete & Karen for the privilege of working with you to create lifelong memories.
We love hearing what you think. Post your comments and tell us which image is your personal favourite.
I’m slowly trying to get at least a few of the sessions I’ve done over the last number of months up to share with you all. I’m way behind on my blog posts.
Here’s a glimpse into a maternity session that I did awhile back. Since this time I’ve also had the privilege of a newborn session. Those images will be along in the future. Until then, enjoy this part of the journey.
What a day! Our Fall Rhapsody Photowalk was a success! The day was gorgeous. We just couldn’t have had more perfect weather. I was fortunate to have a wonderful group participating who rolled with the punches while we waited for some stragglers. Ren, where are you?
Sadly, we actually had a few people who never did find us. We’ll be looking at how we can avoid that in the future. My apologies to all those who were MIA.
Once we got underway the grounds at Mackenzie King Estate were beautiful albeit a little crowded. The light hitting the autumn colours was outstanding. There were so many striking elements to capture and so much variety. Below are a few of the moments I was able to capture along with a group shot compliments of Ron Bets. Thanks for sending that my way Ron!

Wanna know what makes me smile when I’m faced with long days in front of a monitor, working through hundreds and hundreds of images? Anything that makes that job simpler or FASTER. To that end I recently upgraded my iMac’s OS to Snow Leopard. I’m not going to go into that other than to say, I’m very pleased. It’s stable, it’s faster and it was priced right. There are tons of reviews out there so if you want more info it’s only a Google search away.
This morning’s smile came from the Adobe Lightroom 2.5 upgrade. It was a simple install that took only moments. Then came the first launch of the new version. Always in the back of my mind is this little voice that nags and makes suggestions about how I won’t be able to access any of my images and how I’m going to lose days of productivity to this upgrade. I too, live in the tension of excitement and dread, that most of us have developed from way too many years of amazing promises and disastrous deliveries.
Good news! Adobe delivers with Lightroom 2.5 update. What hit me first was the stunning speed of even the applications launch. So surprised by the speed at which it happened that I immediately doubted what I had just seen and closed the application. I needed to see if I could repeat the results. Sure enough, Lightroom bounded onto the screen a second time. WOW! So I started to navigate around and jump from folder to folder to see if I could expect this type of nimble behaviour throughout the application. Sure enough the performance held and I saw my folders load in record time. This is great news for Lightroomers!
I haven’t had a chance to really put it through it’s paces yet but so far I’m really impressed with what Adobe has done with Lightroom 2.5. I just had to get over here and share this with you. Now I’m heading back n to see what other improvements lay undiscovered.
