My mini sessions always go by so fast, but they are always packed with so much fun. Such was the case with Lauren and Kyle and their family. Not only did they bring their new baby but they also brought their dog as well. It was the first time photographing a dog in the studio so that was great to do as well.
Read MoreJulia Alton - Be Rare. Be You.
Last month, I had the pleasure of photographing Julia Alton, who is the Executive Director of the Canadian Fabry Association and a Fabry patient herself. Prior to the session, I had never even heard of Fabry disease, but that soon changed once I had the chance to talk with Julia.
Read MoreKim + Family Portrait Session
My recent session with Kim and her family got postponed a couple time due to this extreme weather. We really want to do some outdoor photos so each time we booked it, the weather just wasn't cooperating. Well, we finally decided to just do it and have fun in the process, otherwise we would be waiting until spring! Who knows how far away spring is too.
Read MoreDerelicte 10 - Black Pirates Pub
I was so excited once I realized I would be able to help photograph Derelicte 10. I had only attended once before, a couple years ago, and I had so much fun then. The thing I like most about Derelicte is that it's just so ... random. There are so many talented designers in this city and it's the one night of the year they get to showcase their amazing work. Not to mention, the musical talent a well, which is just as diverse.
Read MoreSt. Benard Kindergarten Information Session
This past Thursday saw St. Benard School host an kindergarten information session. It was a last minute booking for me, but luckily I was able to accept it. I didn't know much going in but once I got there, I soon realized there was going to be approximately 400 people there. My job for the next hour was to simply capture candids of the attendees, the booths and the speakers. It was right up my alley and my favourite type of photography.
Read MoreLooking Back On My 2017 Events
I recently posted my favourite wedding photos of 2017 which was a great way for me to look back and really see what I captured, and also what I can improve upon. Then it dawned on me that I covered a lot of events throughout the year too. So it was a no brainer to select a few of my top photos from the numerous events I covered.
Read MoreDarla + Family Portraits
This was my second session with Darla and her amazing family. It's always nice going into a family's home during the holidays and capturing some genuine moment. Especially when kids are involved, you never quite know what to expect. There was also a new addition to the family this year as you can see from the photos below.
Read MoreLeah + Family Studio Portraits
It has been an extremely cold couple weeks here in Thunder Bay, and it doesn't look to be getting any warmer soon. That means outdoor portrait session are not really possible. Luckily, I now have an indoor photo studio so I don't have to rely solely on outdoor portraits. Leah and her family decided to have a mini-session with me a few days ago and it turned out to be very fun.
Read More15 Favourite Wedding Photos of 2017
I hope it doesn't sound conceded when I say that it was extremely difficult to choose my favourite 15 wedding photos of 2017 because I had so many great ones. If anything, I think it speaks to just how many amazing weddings I was fortunate enough to photography. It obviously helped that each and ever wedding couple in 2017 was simply amazing.
Read MoreKaryn + Family Portraits - Shipyard Road
This was my second time photographing Karyn and her family and it was just as fun as the first one, albeit a little colder this time around. Even though this was a winter session this time around, everyone had a great time.
I decided to take them to a little spot just off Shipyard Road which I photographed once before. The only difference this time around was that it was a winter session so there was snow on the ground. We managed to get some good shots along the train tracks and on a one of the small ledges. There was a bit too much snow though, and I didn't want everyone trudging through it the entire session.
Read MoreTricia + Darren Portraits - Mariner's Hall
I'm so lucky to be able to meet amazing couples and families each time a have a session. This time around I spent 30 minutes capturing some moments between Tricia and Darren. It was somewhat of a last minute session as Tricia's original photographer who they have been using for quite some time, wasn't available. Luckily, I had some spots open this weekend, and I'm so glad I did.
Read MoreAnna + John Family Portraits - Marina
It was a quick and somewhat cold session with Anna, John and their two boys, but we managed to come away with some really good photos, despite the weather. Even Owen and Nolan were great and very patient. As with most sessions in the winter on cold days, I did my best to keep everyone moving, not staying in one spot too long, yet not rushing anything. It helped that Anna and her family were great models. It just goes to show you, that despite the winter weather, there is no excuse not get out there and get some photos done!
