The Wigmore Family - Bowmanville, ON

in

Family photos can be awesome. From kids personalities shining through to just the randomness of what happens when you try to get them to look at the camera! Amy contacted me about doing a family photo shoot for their mothers day & fathers day gift to her parents from their children. Great idea. It is great to see generations gather for fun family photos. 

I personally love the combination of candid and posed photography. From random cute painted toenails, to grandpa carrying his little grandson candids are awesome. But the addition of some poses are great and adds the variety that makes the shoot complete. 

Great time shooting this family today. 

LightFall Shoot - Pontypool, ON

in ,

Concepts. It's how my brain works. 
In the beginning stages of meeting with clients, I always start with a blank canvas and as we talk, and expand on ideas, the picture, the concept begins to take shape. When I met with the guys from Lightfall, I had a vision in my mind of somehow getting literally,"light to fall". From old buildings and bridges, to capturing the sun at just the right time. 

It was just the right mix of timing and weather that worked really well. The guys were awesome and had a great time (which made it easy to shoot!) They have a E.P release party on June 20. For more info, head over to http://www.lightfallworship.com/

The Barry Family - Bowmanville, ON

A while ago I met these lovely people and today I got to do a mini session with them @ the visiting carnival in Bowmanville! 

It is a small carnival, but it is always fun playing some games with the kids and seeing what you can win. And if all else fails, take a ride on the train!

The lights, the games and the fun you can have; makes this a great back drop for some fun family photos. 

I even had a moment to grab a moment between mom & dad! 

I recently posted a promotion on my Facebook page about a great gift for mothers day! You can use the promo or book something unique for a family shoot. Either way, I know, Mom's love pictures of their families. And as a bonus if you book with me, you just may win a fish (see below).

Larsen (Prihoda) Family Shoot - Mississauga, ON

in

A few months back Lindsay emailed and wanted to do a family shoot for her mom as a surprise for her birthday! It was a great idea and I was super happy to help. The only thing is that it has been freezing outside and winter seems to be refusing to go way.  I was able to get The Living Arts Centre in Mississauga and it was the perfect venue for this shoot. 

It was a lot of fun and the family were awesome. We maybe did some photo bombs as well! They were up for anything and even the little guy was super cooperative! 

I had to take a shot of the red Chucks! 

I think mom aka grandma, was happy! I may have overheard that she wants to cover her wall with photos. Well, Happy birthday!  I am Glad I could be a small part of helping make your day special. 

Emery Autumn - Oshawa, ON

Life is a funny thing. It has ups and downs, twists and turns. Every now and then though, some incredible things happen.  

October 19 @ 2:33am, I met Emery Autumn Newhook for the first time. My precious daughter came into the world very quickly and not long later was in my arms. Her small but tiny long fingers grasped my finger and wrapped around it. As she looked up, there was this moment, this connection. It was amazing. 

To my amazing wife. Wow. You did so well. I am so proud of you. To Josiah! You rock little guy. You are already a great big brother!

I am a little sleep deprived, but very thrilled about the new addition to our family. Thanks to those who have liked our photos on Facebook, sent a text or messaged us! We appreciate the virtual love! And for all your support we are grateful. Thanks to our family who is helping us transition from a 3 person 1 dog, to a 4 person one dog family!

Now to find time to grab some zzzzzzz's!
