Changes Coming! - York Region Portrait Photographers

Alright 2011 is coming together very well!  We have updated our pricing and packages along with our shopping cart.  So for those who like the shopping cart it is now fully up to date once again, yay!

We will also have some new changes coming.  For instance a new blog look!  Yes finally going to go with Word Press.  Like wise for our Real Estate and Business photography division.  I am also thinking about adding a site for print sales.  Art prints will start at a very cost effective rate of $25.00 each and will be included on a site of their own.  We are looking at focusing on Children's, Newborn, Family, Maternity and Real Estate Photography this year and I am really really excited about it!

We look forward to keeping you informed this year as always and we do encourage to add us as friends on Facebook!  We do not spam it is definitely a friends environment where we tell you about cool deals we have found, interesting things through out the day and perhaps a once in a while redirect to our blog if we are excited about a deal or an image we have created.

Here is 2011 and making some awesome images once again!!!

Oh to Remember the Summer - Newmarket/Aurora Photographers

I had almost forgotten about this image because I just did not have the time to dedicate to it until this week during my time off. This is of my oldest daughter on a stunning piece of property just off hwy 9. I have another portrait I want to create there but I need to find wardrobe for it and that won’t come until the summer.

This has been a really busy year with the move which moved right into a big renovation, so indulging in my own photography has just not happened but this New Year should bring a TON of new creativity (especially considering all of the movies I have taken in lately!). I have images in my head that need to be made because they are sitting there screaming to come out. If I do not create them I get hung up on them and do not move past the ideas, kind of like been constipated, LOL.

This year has brought a ton of change, growth and happiness I am actually really excited to see what will happen this coming year! How about you?

This lady is just outside of our basement door.  I wonder if she will be back next year.  I waited and waited for a week for her to be back on top of her web but she seemed to prefer to stay underneath (better view I suppose).



Baby B - Aurora Photographers

Another scrumptious baby girl and if I told you her name you would fall in love even more.  I love it because it suits her so well but it's against my policy to mention childrens names on here. :)

This little one took me right back to the days I had my own.  See like to move and was so awake which I also experience with both girls.  However we finally did get her to sleep right at the end which was great.

(to Mom)

I know you were not crazy about seeing her with her eyes open but I LOVED this one (actually there is a couple).

Enjoy your sneak peek!

Pam - York Region Photographer

(Can you tell I am playing catch up on my Blogging this Saturday morning!)

This is Pam Bechard and she is Royal LePages's new agent.  We were happy to do her head shots!

The Turcotte Family - York Region Protrait Photographer

Another fabulous evening at this great property!  I had a blast and I hope you guys did too.  I know it is surprising when you arrive to this property and some would never dream of doing it but honestly I will do just about anything to get great images.

This family owns the Mitsubishi dealership in Newmarket and we thank them because we just love our new car!

A Great Site - York Region Children's photographer

I feel compelled to offer this link as I think it is very important in your education while hiring a professional photographer. It has a ton on information that you may have questions about http://www.professionalchildphotographer.com/information/ . I would like to thank the publisher of this great site Marianne Drenthe for contributing to our community in this way.

Band Shots - Heart and Stone - York Region Photographers

Another awesome night with Heart and Stone. I arrived and really felt under the weather only to realize later that the cereal I had for dinner was the culprit. When milk was on its way out, interesting how it doesn’t taste funny but boy oh boy it's not good on the tummy!

But as a true professional I made my way through the night and got some great stuff!

Enjoy guys and as usual let me know how it goes!

The finals of our kids portraits! - York region portrait photographer

Here are my little ones!  My oldest was the Queen of Hearts and my youngest was a devil/angel (I think more devil, LOL).

To start this is A and our small french pig dog, LMAO.  We used her as A's pig for the shoot!

The French beast actually went out as a bat though.  We thought it was pretty suiting!

This is Miss C and the muse of most of my personal creativity.



Get Ready for our Christmas Special! - York region photographers

Yup you herd correct stay tuned for our Christmas special due to be released very soon!

Body Scapes - York Region Photographers

My client came back for a mini shoot to do the white on white backdrop to finish up her session.  It was just as much fun as the first time.  This is just some of the result in a sneak peek.  Enjoy!

Long Weekend - York Region Portrait Photographer

Boy oh boy was I reminded this weekend just why it is SO important to take time off! I have been so busy with work and renovations this summer we have not had one weekend off. While it may have rained I really really just enjoyed myself. It is amazing as to how much the creativity effortlessly flows right back in when it is not forced. We spent our time shopping for antiques which I may add I found some AMAZING new props for the scrumptious babies we are expecting for photo session this month! I am so excited to use them I think they are going to be incredible!



Other than that the cottage has been growing some HUGE insects this year. I don't particularly like inspects especially spiders but they are fascinating to photograph. Our daughter came home about 3 weeks ago from the cottage with their nana and papa and brought home this massive spider. I mean I have never seen anything like this thing in Canada. It was so large I insisted it go right back outside (as I did a wimpy girly dance). I had visions of this thing getting out. Not a word of a lie or exaggeration it was much larger than my hand! Unbelievable I know but take my word for it it was unreal. Well this weekend Michael found nun other than a real life Black Widow Spider. I have never seen one of these in real life before so what do you think happened??? Of course I had to photograph it! She was bigger than I would have expected and caring for an egg sac (ewwwwe). It was quit a moment. Here is a small piece of what was produced.

Onword to another cool week!  One of the babies has been born and I am looking forward to a maternity shoot!  Very exciting week.

Miss Frenchy Basking in the Sun - York Region Photographer

The new house is coming along amazingly.  We have literally been working around the clock getting it ready.  A fantastic new feature is massive windows.  In the morning the animals like to congregate in this one sunny spot for a few hours.  I love the light here.  I have another idea for a photo later today.  I must be felling more settled because the creativity is finally flowing back in!
