Sneak Peek...

Thought I would post a small sneak peek of the two sessions from this past Saturday!

It was great working with all of you and I look forward to working with you again in the future!

Until Next Time ~ Happy Shooting!

What do I wear to my photoshoot???

Does this question sound familiar? It is the most commonly asked question by clients to photographers! So to help with the answer to this age old question, I want to share a fabulous guide called "What to Wear" by Brandi Thompson Photography, a photographer located in Plano, TX and serving the Dallas Metroplex area! To view the Guide, Click Here.

Brandi shares some great tips and tricks to being Photo Fabulous in this guide, so take a read through and make sure you are ready for your next photoshoot!

In addition to Brandi's tips I would also like to add a few of my own that have not been covered in her guide.

~Make sure to iron the clothes you plan to wear, and those of any family members who will also appear in the photos.

~Avoid overly bright yellows, reds or oranges as they can create colour casts on the skin.

~Try to coordinate your outfits between family members, rather than matching them.

~Stay simple in your wardrobe choice, earth tones and shades of colour always look nice.

~Add your personality in with accessories and/or props.

~Avoid wearing white.

~Ladies, make sure you wear a pair of undergarments that fit well and are a neutral shade so as not to create "panty lines" or show beneath your clothing.

So lots to consider when making your wardrobe choices, but totally worth it in the final images!!

Until Next Time ~ Happy Shooting!

Momstown Whitby-Ajax Sneak Peek!!!

Hey Ladies! They're here - the sneak peek images of the final products from the photosessions!

Hope you like them!

Once the rest of the images have been processed, I will be making each of you a disk from your session and will give them to Nicole.

Until next time ~ Happy Shooting!

A Whole lot of editing goin' on!!!

I want to thank all the Momstown Whitby-Ajax moms and their families who made it out on Saturday! Also, a special thank you to Nicole, for all your help throughout the day! You make an amazing assistant, and the day would not have gone quite so smoothly without all your help!!

The day was filled with 5 family photoshoots throughout the day at Rotary Park in Ajax. The weather cooperated for us thankfully and we managed to capture some lovely images, which I am now in the process of post processing. I am hoping to have the sneak peeks posted here by this evening!

Please keep in mind that the photoshoot day for Momstown Oshawa-Port Perry is going to be held on Saturday, October 16th at Lakeview Park. There are still several spots left so be sure to go and sign up to reserve yours!!

We are also in the process of setting up a date for a photoshoot in the pumpkin patch with Momstown Guelph. The date is still to be determined, but it will be held sometime in October. I am very pleased to say that I will be shooting with Jacquie who is also a Momstown Guelph member and the two of us will be tag teaming the sessions!

I also want to thank Monica and David Taylor for having me shoot their daughter, Savannah's, dedication ceremony and after party this past Sunday! It was a beautiful day with lots of good people, good food and of course good fun!! I will be working on a sneak peek for you from this event as well!

Until Next Time ~Happy Shooting!

Salutations from California!

We arrived in South San Fransisco air port yesterday at 9:15 a.m. (pacific time) after a flawless 5 hour flight with our 18 month old. He was so good during the whole trip here and flirted relentlessly with the stewardess' on the plane which resulted in all the conveniences of first class without actually sitting in that section! I was originally nervous about flying with our 18 month old son, but he was an angel and showed me that there can definitely be perks to taking a toddler on a long flight.

Since arriving we have been relaxing and yet not, as there have been so many family members all congregating together to visit. Many Nike's from all over, have all travelled here for this same week. Our plans this week include several day trips including a night tour of Alcatraz! Which I am stoked about!

Elijah, our 18 month old son, is still on Ontario time so was up at 4 am this morning! I am hoping he will adjust a little better as the week goes on or else this is going to be an exhausting week!

I have not yet had a lot of opportunity to take my camera out and take some pictures, but did get a few warmup shots yesterday and will definitely be taking a whole lot more as the week progresses and look forward to sharing when we return to Canada!

Until next time ~ Happy Shooting~
