New Momstown Chapters

C.L.Nike Photography would like to welcome Momstown to the Durham Region!!! The Whitby-Ajax Chapter has officially been launched and we are awaiting the official launch of the Oshawa-Port Perry Chapter!

You can click HERE to regisiter with the Whitby-Ajax chapter or HERE to register with the Oshawa-Port Perry chapter!

Please watch for dates to show up on the calendars for each of these new chapters for free photosession days in the next couple of months! I will be offering the same photosession offer to the members of these new chapters as I did previously with Momstown Guelph members, which includes a free photosession with a disc of some of the final edited images from the session.

I am looking forward to meeting you and your families soon!

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~

Momstown Sneak Peek!

Okay so I just wanted to share a sneak peek at the finished products from the momstown Guelph photosessions! Ladies I hope you like these and look forward to sharing the rest of your sessions with you! Thanks again!

*** PLEASE DO NOT COPY OR PRINT THESE IMAGES!

Until Next time ~ Happy Shooting!

Editing Frenzy!

The Momstown Guelph Photoshoots went well. Thank you to all of you came out and participated! I am now in the editing stage. 3 of the 5 families are done - 2 to go! Once processed, I will be loading them onto cd's by family and will give them to Leanne (Momstown Guelph owner) for distribution. Some of the images will be uploaded to my site soon and you will be able to view them HERE!

Here is a sneek peak at one of the finished images!

I will be scheduling some more PB sessions soon so stay posted for info on that. Also, I am scheduled to do my first Boudoir session in September. Gives the young gal a chance to tone things up lol before then so stay tuned for updates on that as well.

Until next time ~ Happy Shooting!

It's been a little while since I last posted! I would first like to thank my Father-in-law for lending me his DSLR while mine has been in getting repaired! Thanks to this, I was still able to capture some lovely images of the University Graduation I was scheduled to shoot last Wednesday!

I have been told that my camera has been repaired and is ready to ship so I should be receiving it back anyday now! Looking forward to trying out my new portrait/macro lens!

I have decided that I am going to work towards purchasing the Nikon D90 with 50mm 1.4 lense, that is my next goal!

I have also been working through the online course which follows the book 'Understanding Exposure'. I have read the entire book now, done several of the assignments but have not yet posted any of them...will have to do that!

The Momstown Guelph Photoshoot is this coming weekend June 19 & 20!! If you have not yet signed up, please check the calendar and do so as there are still some spots available on Sunday due to a few unfortunate cancellations.

Until next time - Happy Shooting!

Some of the Taylor Family shots are now available for viewing on my website under the 'Children' and 'Families' sections.

I have not yet heard back on the progress of my camera repairs. Will keep you posted as to when I get it back!
Just a reminder that the momstown Guelph relaunch party is this weekend on Saturday, May 29th! If you're in the area, you won't want to miss it!

Many thanks!

Many thanks to the Taylor family for a great photoshoot on Saturday! Images are in the post processing stage and should be available for viewing soon.

On another note; we currently have 7 families signed up for the momstown photoshoot day on June 19th! Not sure how I am supposed to get that many done in the one day but will either have to make it work or reduce the number of sessions for the day. Entries; however, are now closed and I will not be accepting any more requests for that day.

My camera had to go in for repairs today! The hotshoe is loose so I am having it replaced and going to have the auto focus checked as it has been acting up. Also going to get a full cleaning while they have it. I was informed that it could be anywhere from 2-6 weeks and even up to 8 max! Asked them to put a rush on it so that I have it back in time for June 19th! Otherwise, I'm sorry to have to announce, that we may need to postpone the momstown sessions!

Well until next time - Happy Shooting!
