Autumn Love birds

My friendship with Shaleen has been a long one. She is a wonderful person and always so much fun to be around. I was thrilled when she was asked me to shoot a couple session for her and her beau Jordan. What makes this shoot even better? It was a birthday surprise for Jordan, as far as he knew they just going for hike.

Decew falls is a location I often use, but there is good reason for that. It is a location that offers so much variety. The entrance is filled with adorable buildings, stair cases, walls, fences and bridges. The trail above is a picturesque wooded pathway connected to open fields. And below is a small stream with several waterfalls make for unique backgrounds. During my session with Shaleen and Jordan we stuck to the trail and did a few shots with one of the front stone buildings. When we first arrived, so did a wedding to shoot their formal photos. Perhaps the universe casting some foreshadowing? Lol.

Poor Shaleen has been feeling under the weather but she was such a trooper and played it up to get some wonderful shots. And Jordan, I think he found his calling in life as he loved being in front of the camera. I look forward to working with this Amazing couple again in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions about Boudoir.

Boudoir. It's exciting It's inciting And it's confusing and intimating all at the same time! If you are thinking about a boudoir I'm sure you have some pretty big questions on the top of your head. That's fine. I mean it's not everyday you are standing half naked in front of a perfect stranger. So you have questions... I've got answers. Q: Boudoir. Pornography. What’s the difference? A: Well for starters Boudoir is suggestive, while porn is... well you know. And you don’t have to be complete nude or revel anything at all when it comes to boudoir photographs. One of the most important things about being sexy is being confident. If you feel that way wearing jeans, by all means, wear jeans! Or a button down men’s dress shirt. Sure why not? Classy, suggestive, and flirty. Q: Can you Photoshop my images? A: If you would like to have say, stretch marks, a scar, that unwanted, embarrassing tattoo from when you were 16...

Bohemian Beach Goddess

A while back, when the weather was just starting to get nice again I did a shoot with the beautiful Malissa Otting. Malissa came to me with this great idea of bohemian beach style photo session. Of course I was on board. No normally I do shoots with MUA Griffin Shields, however the date and time of this shoot Griffin was unavailable so I worked with up and coming mua Sarah Stechyshyn. When I was first starting out Sarah was one of my very first models. And that is one thing I love about my job, the wonderful people you and the long term friendships you create along the way. We meet Malissa at her apartment for hair, make up and wardrobe. The beach we shot at was just a ways down the street from there. The beach itself was pretty cool. It was quiet with a small run off that trailed into the water. The remains of what were once board walks and boating docks protruded from the sand and water, parts of the wood had small plants growing from them. The sand was lined with trees and shrubs....

Choosing Your Location, Fall Addition

It's that time of year again where the weather changes and vibrant hues surround us. So looking for a place to take photos may be different than a place in the summer or winter that you enjoyed. Choosing a location that best suits you and your comfort level is important. It is good to pick somewhere that will make your session memorable and pleasing for you. Find a place that fits well with your personality and gets you to enjoy your experience. Some of my favorite places in the Fall time are Morningstar Mill, Malcolmson Eco Park both in St Catharines. As well as Firemans Park in Niagara Falls, McFarland House in Niagara on the Lake, and Balls Falls in Vineland. Morningstar Mills is a heritage site located at Decew Falls. This site features a beautiful working mill rebuilt in 1872 and is surrounded with trees and water. It is a good naturalistic place to go, especially in the fall time when there are numerous colors all around you and a beautifully built mill overlooking some wate...
