ONWA MMIWG Pow-wow - Mount McKay
Here are some highlights from the ONWA’s annual MMIWG Pow-wow at Mount McKay.
ONWA Poetry Night - Strong Hands Stop Violence
This past Sunday ONWA held a very special poetry night in an effort to raise awareness of Violence Against Women in support of the United Nations International Day of Elimination of Violence Against Women. My task was to capture the event in photos which included musical guests - Melinda a Melissa Henderson and of course Audra Santa.
ONWA Family Portraits - Session 4
Well it was that time of year again, another photo session with 9 different families at ONWA. If you have seen any of my previous posts on ONWA please do check them out. As always, to learn more about ONWA feel free to visit their website.
It's all about family.
With another ONWA photography session this Thursday, I couldn't help but look back at all the photos from the previous three shoots. I decided to pick some of the photos that stood out for me.
ONWA Family Portraits - Session 3
This past week I was hired to do my third photo session at ONWA. For those that don’t know what ONWA is, I encourage you visit the website to learn more. It is a not for profit organization that was established in 1972 to empower and support Aboriginal women and their families throughout the province of Ontario. I really do like these sessions because it gives me a chance to photograph some wonderful families who might not otherwise hire a photographer to get their portraits done.
ONWA Winter Family Portraits - Session 2
The harsh weather let up just in time for my second photography session at ONWA. This time around I had the opportunity to photograph 7 different families. The location for the shoot was in the back area again, except this time around, I took advantage of a nice selection of trees.
ONWA Family Portraits - Session 1
When I was first asked to photograph families for ONWA, I really didn't know what to expect. Mainly because I really didn't fully understand what ONWA was. Once I did a bit of research, I couldn't wait to get in front of all the families and start taking photos. Not only was it for a good cause but I knew it would end up being a lot of fun. Which it was.
