3rd Annual Fall Rhapsody Photowalk Followup

Published on October 17, 2011 in Photowalks. Closed

After three years of hosting this wonderful, seasonal walk all I can say is wow! It was a fantastic group and I’ve already seen some fantastic images from this years crew.

There were numerous highlights of our walk, but among the fondest were the new folks I met on this walk. Combine this with a few familiar faces and the odd guy recovering from a back injury and you have the perfect recipe for a wonderful morning outdoors with cameras in hand. I’m already looking forward to next years Fall walk.

Whoa!  Before I get ahead of myself…stay tuned for the first ever DHP Winter Photowalk. No details just yet but I’ll post them just as soon as they come together.

So until then, grab your camera and get outside before all the leaves are gone. Go make some image magic!

Fall Rhapsody Photowalk – Recap

Published on October 13, 2009 in News & Updates, Photography and Photowalks. 5 Comments

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!

Christine, Carina & Patrick – Family Portraits

Published on February 24, 2009 in Family Portraits and Photography. Closed

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!

The Wilsons – Portraits

Published on February 23, 2009 in Family Portraits and Photography. Closed

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!
