NEW! - Sarah Vander Heide Newmarket Photographers

I have been thinking about this for a while now but it's very very new and is just coming to the market. As those of you who know me I am very very particular about prints and the materials which prints are printed on. This decision has a massive effect on the final look and feel to every piece that is chosen and like the process of an image each piece is best represented on the final stock it is printed on whether that be standard, metallic or Giclee

I am excited to announce I will be starting to offer prints on metal. I have always loved loved loved daguerreotype prints they are both haunting and unique one of a kind pieces of art. As I move forward I would love to be able recreate this type of imagery but that will be something to come. For the mean time Giclee prints on metal will be available in Aluminum, Stainless Steal, and ooooooo Copper! Sizes will start at 8 x 10 and go to 40 x 60. Pricing is dependant upon size, hanging hardware and framing if required so at the time of ordering please let us know what you are considering so we may quote you accordingly.


I am very excited about these! Studio samples will come in shortly.

Citizen of the Year - Newmarket Portrait Photographer

Let me introduce Mr Gordon Barns Aurora's new Citizen of the Year for 2010. Down to my core I really love portrait photography not just because of the actual picture taking but because of the human experience, the people you meet the things you learn I just find it an enlightening experience.

I photographed Gordon at his home in Aurora where he lives with his wife in one of Aurora's beautiful old century homes (you know I would immediately melt, LOL). The house was filled full of a life time of Gordon and his wife’s life and I really appreciated the time I had spent there with them. Gordon's wife collects and restores sewing machines and fabric remnants which she then donates to charities for women who are trying to get back on their feet. Gordon on the other hand is an environmentalist and was a teacher and Dean at Seneca Campus for many years. Now Gordon enjoys his time at Aurora's Arboretum. Gordon's garden was a huge oasis which one would never expect to be right behind Yonge St in Aurora. The garden is incredible, full of vegetables, older trees and pathways that lead to new places with in the garden. Truly a neat experience!

I am honoured that the town chose me for this commission and I am delighted that they chose one of the images I had taken during my time spent with Gordon, especially since I stepped outside the box on this day and gave the town something they did not expect. This is where the human experience comes in to play and the creative artist in me over rides reality sometimes. Leave it to another life lesson and I thank the town for going with my vision on this portrait.

As most know, I am in love with Black and White so I had to show one of the final images that way but the colour version you see here is the image that will reside in the town hall hopefully for generations to come.  That is a very very neat thought!
