One of the reasons I enjoy photography so much, especially portrait photography, is because I get to meet so many great families. You never know what to expect but I am always pleasantly surprised. My session with Allison and her family, was definitely no exception. Everyone was very easy going and the kids were just full of energy.
Read MoreWilderness North - Alan Cheeseman Profile
This past weekend I had a very unique and interesting photo assignment. My job, was to essentially shoot a day in the life of Alan Cheeseman, owner and operator of Wilderness North which is just outside of Armstrong, Ontario. It turns out his wife wrote in to a company called Dollar Shave Club, profiling her husband and the business they have been running for quite a while now. Well, Dollar Shave Club loved their testimonial and as it turns out, they found me online, liked my photography, and decided to hire me for the task.
Read MoreMariam + Hassanali Family Portraits - Centennial Park
This past Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing some old friends and their visiting family at Centennial Park. I've known Mariam and Hassanali for a few years now and when they called me out of the blue to do some portraits the following day, I jumped at the chance. It was a very quick turnaround seeing as how their relatives were only in town for a couple days so we booked the session for 8:00 on a Saturday morning and the that was that.
Read MoreCrystal + Family Portraits - Mission Marsh
Mission Marsh was the setting for my latest portrait session with Crystal and her wonderful family. It was much colder then expected once we arrived but once everyone got moving I think it warmed up a bit. That's the problem with doing a photoshoot right beside Lake Superior I guess. Either way, it was a great venue and the photos we took turned out amazing.
Read MoreAnika + Family Portraits - Chippewa Park
Chippewa Park was the latest location for my most recent portrait session. This time around around it was Anika and her fantastic family. It was later in the afternoon but it wasn't too cold at all, especially once we all started moving around. We started off at the playground which got everyone's blood flowing and it was off to the races from there.
Read MoreBrittney + Adam + Chase - Thunder Bay Marina
Well, it was too long ago that I photographed Brittney and her family. During that shoot, it was a reveal that she was pregnant. We had a great time. If you would like to check that session out, here you go. This time around Brittney is just about ready to bring a new addition to the family. Before it was too late, we decided to get some 'maternity' photos outdoors, at the Marina again. We both thought it was a fitting location, seeing as how thats' where she first announced it.
Read MoreONWA Family Portraits
Once again it was time for another family portrait session at ONWA. It is always up in the air with how many families actually make it out and this year we managed to get 7 families. Some families were large and others were very small. That's why I love doing these portrait sessions for ONWA because it's always such a mixed crowd.
Read MoreAngel + Family Portraits - Boulevard Lake
Wow, what another great portrait session. Luckily this time the weather was much nicer so I was able to photograph Angie and her family outside at Boulevard Lake. Once I arrived I noticed just how much snow we have had over the past while. The good news was that the trails were cleared so it made for easy walking.
Read MoreChristy + Dwayne Family Portraits - Thunder Bay Marina
This past Thursday I had a wonderful little portrait session with Christy, Dwayne and the rest of their family. Initially we were going to do an outdoor shoot but it ended up being a bit too cold. Although, we did manage to sneak a few outdoor photos in. Instead, we took advantage of the Art Building. It's amazing how many cool little spots you can find in one relatively small building.
Read MoreMy 15 Favourite Photos of 2014
Since it was such a great 2014 for me, I figured the best way to bring in the new year would be to select my favourite photos of this past year. I had such a wide range of clients that it was really hard to pick. There were some great events I was able to photograph, a whole bunch of portrait sessions and of course some truly wonderful weddings.
Read MoreDao + Keith Christmas Family Portraits
When we originally planned to do this family photo session is was earlier in the season. Well, it ended up working out for the best because doing it during Christmas meant I got the chance to visit Dao and Keith's beautiful house. This session was definitely a little Christmas themed as we started the shoot right beside their huge tree while sitting on the winding stair case.
Read MoreTyra + Hayden + Jayme - Jumbo Gardens
Jumbo Gardens was once again the location for my latest portrait session. The last time I was here it was Fall time, but this time around winter was in full swing which meant a totally different setting.
