Baby Bump

A while ago I decided to try a WagJag promotion. While they weren't what I was looking or hoping for marketing wise, I did get to meet some wonderful new people and make some great clients. One of which was Jennifer.

During one of the nicer days this fall season I meet with Jennifer and her family at Dufferin's Islands for a maternity session. When it comes to family maternity I like to try and incorporate all aspects of the family. Some of just the mom to be, some of the whole family, mom and dad and mom and the siblings. This creates a variety and you can really get a great feel of the love and joy that is anticipation with the upcoming arrival of a new family member. The day was perfect for the shoot. Not to warm, not to chilly. And Jennifer's choice of clothing was beautiful. The pop of colour from her dress was vibrant against the slowly turning colour of the leaves.

I always encourage props during these sessions, normally clients will bring a pair of shoes or ABC blocks but they brought with them a prop that I had yet to see and thought was very unique and special. A teddy bear. But this was not your normal Teddy Bear, this bear had inside it, a recording of the baby's heartbeat from the ultrasound. How amazing! And of course we used it in some of the shoots.

Take a look at what we created that day.

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...
