Recently we had a blast working our magic on an old-school hollywood style shoot. It was really nice to focus on some black & white images for a change. It’s such a beautiful medium and I often miss working with it. This young lady is was the star of our shoot and did a fantastic job. Enjoy!
What a blast! This is one of my all time favourite clients. It’s true! What you don’t know, is that Debbie is my big sister. Yup, I’m the baby of the family and she’s been looking out for me for years. Although, I think she still harbours a little bitterness toward me from when I was a baby. As it turns out, the very first time she held me I peed on her. OK, OK, in her face. My bad.
More than a few years have passed since my early peeing days. I don’t get nearly enough opportunity to spend with my big sis, as a good portion of Canada separates us. Thankfully she did get back recently and we had a blast doing a shoot together. I think she looks awesome! Especially for her age. :~)
Love you Deb. Please don’t kill me in my sleep. :~)
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.
Not surprisingly I’m the camera guy in my house. That means there are loads of pictures of everyone else but me. This has gone on for far too long, so I’m taking matters into my own hands. Yesterday, I had a little time after finishing up some processing on a couple of shoots and the studio wasn’t booked. I thought it was time to play around a little and get creative. I had a blast creating some self-portraits. The time went by in a flash (grin).
I accomplished two things during this process. First, I was able to get some pictures of me and second (for my photographer friends out there) I was able to play around with my pre-release cable and do some remote triggering of my camera and strobes. It’s a lot of fun to think outside the box with regard to camera position and remote triggering. I think I’ll make this an ongoing project as I get time.
Here’s a couple of the images I captured in just a few minutes of shooting.
Last week we filled the studio with the a wonderful, fun-loving family. It was non-stop giggles and smiles as we created some wonderful memories. Here’s a peek at our time together.
