Finally, the snow stayed on the ground long enough for morning portraits! :-)

This was the first wedding shoot I was hired to do (already almost two years ago!) I was really excited the photos turned out as well as they did, considering how brand new to this I was! Very unique and so simple – I love their style. It was a Tuesday afternoon in May, the bride wore red, and we strolled through Victoria Park for the photos. I really shouldn’t count this as my first wedding since all I was required to do was shoot portraits in the park. I didn’t cover the ceremony or much of the reception (by request of the couple).
That afternoon I had quickly stopped in at Henry’s to purchase a new lens for portrait photography: the Canon f/1.8 50mm lens. This lens is amazing! I really have to thank the lens for producing the fantastic images.
Mass & Maia were great to work with; Another “back in the day” blog post: Portrait sessions with Candace. An aspiring actress, Candace approached me about having a few portraits done in June 2007, and then six months later in the middle of winter. We were able to set up in one of the boardrooms after work. The large windows available gave off beautiful natural light. Here are a few images I’d like to share here on the blog! There are a few things I would change about how I shot these portraits. One, would be to utilize my tripod, and include the use of the lightsphere.
I’ve known Jessica my whole life. We grew up together because we’re only four months apart and our moms were best friends. And they’ve known each other since high school! It was a pleasure to meet Jason, the love of Jessica’s life. I first met him about six months ago, shortly after they got engaged. What a great guy! Having known Jessica as long as I have I’m not surprised she landed such a gentleman. :-)
We agreed to meet on May 23rd for their engagement photos. I only had an hour to capture all the images because she & I had to rush off to her bridal shower right after! And I’m not sure if he was joking, but Jason suggested an hour was too long anyways- “Fifteen shots and we’re done, right?” HA! :-) Anyways, the hour went fast as they always do, and thankfully the weather cooperated! Earlier that day it looked as if the skies would open up and soak us, but that’s to be expected in the spring & summer season. As I went through the photos I took that day, I couldn’t help but smile. I’m really looking forward to their wedding day coming this October!
Jess & Jason, you guys are truly an adorable couple. ♥ Thanks for choosing me as your photographer!
Click here to view more photos from J&J’s Engagement session! I was sure that January was going to be a slow month for me for photography. Not so! I had the opportunity to meet up with an old friend and her husband of now three years! Lucky for them, they exchanged vows in sunny Cuba and not in the cold of Canadian winters :-) We walked around Victoria Park in Kitchener for about an hour – it was really cold! Here’s a sneak peek photo. I hope to unveil the rest of the photos by the end of today! (So check back if you’d like!)
My 2009 has already started off great! I was scheduled to shoot engagement portraits at Victoria Park on New Year’s day (thankfully, I had not pulled an all-nighter!) I must admit I’ve only shot portraits once before in the winter! I’m really happy with the way these photos turned out. Unfortunately, my couple were not that happy with their expressions. It must have been the brittle air surrounding them! I was even finding it hard to smile :-) I have included only a link to the images. If you wish to view them, I need to add you as a Flickr contact first. Thank you for understanding! Their wedding is coming up fast! Once I have processed those images, I will be sure to include a public post about that day. :-) Hope everyone had a great New Year’s celebration! I hope you are all sticking with your newly-made resolutions (if any)! A couple weekends ago (the same weekend with my neck injury!) I had a photoshoot with a lovely mother & daughter! Here is one of the first photos I took, and I thought I’d share it. I have to admit it was my first time photographing a toddler as my main subject, and it was difficult! She was a sweetheart but still difficult! I thought it was funny though, and you’ll see it in the photos I upload later on – whenever she would say “cheese”, she would say it, smile, and look away from me! LOL It was cute. At first I thought she was being shy but apparently not! I guess I have to learn a bit more about working with kids :-) (Do you have any tips? Much appreciated!)
