Baby Jack


Jack is one of the cutest little guys I have ever seen! It was his first photo session and he did great! Let's have a look at some pictures!

And don't forget to view the slideshow too! Click here to view.


How adorable, now if only he can get a little smile...


The smile we were looking for!


Such nice eyelashes you have.





Jack's checking out my lights.


Hypnotized by the light.


Let's get moving mom!


This is one of my favorites.


This is one that we really wanted to get. Daddy and Jack's hand. Although, we did have a bit of an accident...


A grab for the face! Yikes!





What an adorable family! Thanks for bringing Jack to meet me. He is the best!

Our meetings are so much fun!


Another great photographers meeting was held last night. We talked about presenting your work to clients and shared lots of great ideas. A couple of new faces tonight too (which we love! The more the merrier!) Of course one or two people had cameras...so we may have taken a picture or two.

On a separate and related note, our next Pictage User Group Meeting is coming up on October 28th. It's basically another get together where we talk about camera stuff, techniques, approaches to photography, marketing, client relations...well, you get the idea. We talk about lots of cool stuff for photographers, and we talk about cool Pictage stuff too. If there are any photographers out there who would like to join us (and no, you do not have to be a Pictage User to come) we'd love to have you out.

If you are a photographer, and interested in coming out to the meeting, let us know! info@chrisbeardphotography.ca All are welcome! I hope to connect with more of you soon.


Robert leading a discussion on image presentation, with Jack taking notes on his laptop.





Jack, you are just too cool for words my friend!


Lots of note taking going on tonight!


It looks like Bryan is reaching for his invisible glass.


Oh, Robert you are so funny!





Jack is sinking lower and lower into the couch as the night goes on.


So Lucy, tell us a little about what you do.


I like when Shawn talks with his hands. Very expressive!


My name is Natasha and I approve of this meeting!


I'm sure Shawn must be getting a little distracted here, though I'm not sure by what...


Hey! What are you talking about right now!


Lucy is a pouty face....


Wow...how handsome...my wife is a lucky girl....hahaha!


Even when we don't have cameras we still try and get the shot!


Bryan and his new toy.


Doesn't he look so happy!


I'm a little afraid for Libor here...does he know someone is behind him right now?


What a dynamic hand gesture!


Smile!


Sneaky sneaky...





Bryan gets so excited! I love it!


I don't think Natasha wanted her picture taken. What do you think?


Karen looking lovely in some nice off camera flash light.


Oh my. What happened here...?


So happy together....

See you all next time! Don't forget to let me know if you want to come to the next Pictage User Group Meeting on October 28th!

It's always about the experience.

I just got an email that I had to share. When we shoot weddings, we want to give everyone at the wedding a brilliant, fun, and exciting experience, while creating amazing images for the bride and groom.

This email says it better then we ever could. Thank you Jaime for sending it.

"I just wanted to say I have never seen wedding photo's even closely resembling the pictures you guys took. I was so amazed and impressed by the quality and the time spent. Just awe-inspiring. You have a wonderful gift, and Chris is the most fun photographer I have ever met. It was truly one of the highlights of the entire weekend for me, meeting you and seeing your work. I hope I get another opportunity.

Jaime"

Lindsay & Denis - Wedding



I just got back from Sunday brunch with Lindsay & Denis. I've got to say these two, and their families are some of the most wonderful people I've had the pleasure of meeting.

I've got lots to say about the images, but since it's Thanksgiving, I'm going to put it off till later. I've got family coming over today!

Check back soon for more photos and comments
