Jenn & Steven - Maternity Portraits

A wonderful maternity session with Jenn and Steven. Enjoy the slideshow and additional pictures below. Pregnancy is such a beautiful time, I'm so glad when couples mark the occasion with a maternity session. They will be treasuring these pictures for years to come.

Abott-Tate Family Portraits
This photo session was done on one of the few last nice days of the fall. A wonderful, loving family who were really good at getting pictures done. Even the dogs were well behaved too! Except for the one time they tried to escape and chase some hikers...
Enjoy the photos and the slideshow. Thanks for a great session!





We almost had a leaf fight going!

I've got to say, that is an excellent use of a fallen piece of wood.

Got to get mom and dad into the action too!

Very nice!

Whoops! We lost someone!




He just couldn't resist getting one more silly one!

Josie and Family - Portrait Session

What a great photosession we had! Lots of fun, some silly behavior, some climbing, and of course, amazing family photos. Enjoy!

This is our first photo. We were all still getting the hang of things. Still having fun though!

Ahh! That's better! Wow. They look great!

Of course, some rivalries do occur. (look to the right)

And some fun balancing acts!

Careful now!

I love this one!

Ah, the climbing! It's almost as if that tree was meant for these three.

And a lovely portrait.
Thanks for hanging out with me on your photosession! It was great fun, and the images look wonderful.
Oh, and of course, we have a slideshow too! Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Julia!

Happy birthday to Julia!
We've started a bit of a tradition with these pictures. We've been working with Julia's parents Luca and Lisa for a few years now. Julia's older sister Lauren had her pictures done at the same age and now it's Julia's turn. (Click here to see Lauren's photoshoot). We headed out to a park for some fun, and as you can see, it was pretty cool! Enjoy the slideshow below and the pictures too!
Lauren came too, which was good because, being a veteran of shooting with us, she was able to provide moral support to her sister.
Julia was a little concerned about me, with my camera equipment, and Lauren helped smooth things over. Thanks Lauren!
We headed over to the playground so we could relax a little and play. As you can see, she is starting to be a little smiley!
And even a full laugh! I love it!
Ah yes! Here we were making dirt pies. Later in the day, I told her that I ate one of them. She told me "does not fur eatin!". Haha!
What a treasure!
Time to bring out the bubbles!
A little help from Daddy is all she needs. Looking good Luca!
Okay, now it's my turn!
Ffffffffft! (that is a blowing sound in case you didn't know)
She is so happy! Bubbles are fun!
I can catch them! Get back here bubbles!
I find so much hopefulness in this picture. I can do it!
Back to the playground. Hmmmm Mommy and Daddy appear to have lost their bodies...
Peekaboo!

There's the yawn. Mom i think it's time to head back for a nap. We've worn her out.
I really love this picture. Classic.
Thanks again for hanging out with me at the park Julia, and happy birthday! I hope to see you again real soon.
If anyone else would like to have a fun kid photoshoot contact us today! The weather is perfect for it and the pictures will make great Christmas gifts. Click here to contact us about your photoshoot.

Canadian Pro Golfer Mike Weir

This past year we had the great pleasure of working with Canadian Pro Golfer Mike Weir. Mike and his team were holding a press conference to announce their new winery Mike Weir Wine, and partnership with Chateau-Des-Charmes winery. We enjoyed a great photo session with Mike at the Chateau, and also had the opportunity to visit the wine cellar and do some portraits there. Mike was great to work with, very professional, and he was even willing to climb on the barrels for a few of the shots.
It was a fantastic day with Mike and his team. Niagara Life Magazine recently did a cover story on Mike, and our photos were used throughout the publication. Here are a few shots of the magazine, as well as some from our shoot and during the press conference. You can also see our work with Mike on his website. Click here to check it out! Enjoy!

A few photos of the magazine.


Here is Mike with the wines by the fireplace at Chateau-des-Charmes.

I love the design on the bottles. Beautiful details.

Mike looking out to the vineyards.

After a quick trip downstairs, we set-up in the barrel room. For this shot, Mike is on one side of the room, and I am on the other, on top of another set of barrels. My assistant Rose was making sure I didn't accidentally fall, or worse, topple the entire stack of barrels! Thanks Rose!



The press conference was ready to go. These seats were reserved for members of Mike's family.

The new partnership of Mike Weir Wine and Chateau-Des-Charmes Wine is about to be announced.

Barry Katzman, President of Mike Weir Wine addressing the crowd. The place was packed, with even the gallery above on the second floor filled with people.

I took a quick look up, and there was Melodie O'Rourke (Director of Sales), hanging out with singer Matt Dusk!

Paul Bosc, of Chateau-des-Charmes, confirms the partnership and talks about the great potential of Mike Wier Wine and the Chateau.
I hope everyone enjoyed reading about this great day. Talk to you all soon!
