Justine Gustafson Beaded Dress
I got the chance to once again photograph Justine Gustafson’s amazing beaded dress in my studio this afternoon. She did some small adjustments to it and wanted it photographed again to potentially sell.

Mary Creations - Birch Bark Baby Bag
Mary from Mary Creations once again asked me to photograph another original piece of hers. This time it was a birch bark baby bag that should will be giving away as a gift. It’s hard to really appreciate the detail and craftsmanship without seeing it up close and in person.

Helen Pelletier - 'Dagwagani Mawandochige'
Once again I got the opportunity to photograph one of Helen Pelletier’s birch bark pieces. This one is called ‘Dagwagani Mawandochige’, which means fall gathering. It’s a winter birch bark 30-30 rifle holder. I say this every time, but it’s probably her best work to date.

Mary Creations Birch Bark
I had the pleasure of meeting yet another amazing local artist this afternoon at my studio, Mary Creations. She specializes in birch bark and she does amazing work. Check out some of her pieces below. She’s off to the Indigenous Fashion Arts Festival in Toronto this week, to showcase and sell some of her work!

Helen Pelletier Birch Bark Back Pack
Here are a few highlight from my studio session with Helen Pelletier, an absolutely amazing indigenous artist here in Thunder Bay. These are all photos of her latest winter birch bark back pack. I couldn’t over the amount of work that went into creating this.

Callie Studio Headshots
Callie reached out to me for some updated headshots for her acting portfolio. She ended up going with my very popular 30 minute session. We used a couple different backdrops and lighting setups, and ended up getting a good range of poses. She was so great to work with and I know these photos will definitely help her out!

It’s so nice having my own studio to do these types of sessions. If you, or someone you know, is in need of updated headshots, I’m only a message away!
Zaylee Mae Cake Smash Session
Zaylee Mae will be turning one very soon so her mom Brittney decided it would be a good opportunity to do a cake smash! Using the word smash may be a bit generous, but you get the idea. Zaylee Mae definitely needed a bit of encouragement to even touch the cake which was quite funny. For the first few minutes she just stared at it, not really knowing what to do. Once Brittany gave her a little taste of the cake Zaylee settled right in.

By the end of the session she had a face full of cake and a smile on her face. Although, there was a tiny bit of crying mixed in to and I made sure to capture some of those photos. At the very least, they can be used at her wedding way down the road. I apologize in advance!
Overall it was a very fun session and I’m sure by the time she turns two she will be much more aggressive with the cake.
Amanda + Serge + Norah - Christmas Portraits
I am planning to run an ugly sweater portrait special very soon so what better way to get some promo photos for it then to ask our close friends Amanda and Serge and of course Norah to model for me. I have photographed them outside a few times so this was the first time I was able to get them into the studio. Norah was ready to go from the beginning. I could have easily photographed her for a couple hours.

After the hour session was done we ended up with about 40 final photos. These are some of my favourite photos from the session. I’m hoping to get some more family’s in the studio in the coming week(s). So if any of you are reading this and you have an ugly Christmas sweater (or just a normal one), don’t hesitate to contact me to book a session.
Kaylee + Carter Studio Session
I have done a few portraits sessions of Kaylee and Carter but they have all been outdoors. This was the first time I had them inside my studio and I was super excited. Not that I don’t like outdoor portraits, it was just a nice change to do them in the studio. This one was just a quick mini session, but as usual, we packed a lot into it.

Upon entering my Kaylee and Carter were asked who wanted to go first and to my surprise, Carter yelled out that he would. From there we were off to the races. Kaylee was of course the perfect model as usual. Carter on the other hand was great, but he did need a couple cookies for incentive. In the end, I’m super happy with how the photos turned out. Both Kaylee and Carter are very photogenic as you can see from the photos below. I’m already looking forward to the next session!
