Free Family Session?

Your child is graduating and things might look a little different at home next year! This is a great time to get an updated family photo while you have a photographer for the day. I don’t book anyone else on the day of your grad session so I’m all yours! Gather everyone and we can meet up for a few minutes and get some beautiful family portraits before getting back to the main event, your grad! We usually spend 15-20 minutes with the family and then those that need to be on their way are free to go. This is a complimentary service I offer to all my grads’ families.

My first horse!

I’ve been hoping one of my high school seniors would bring me a horse! I was really excited when Rebekah’s mom contacted me about a session for her. They’d been at Lyndia’s session and decided to do one for Rebekah’s grad photos. We spent a lot of time at the barn with the horses. Then her cousin met us to be in some with her, then we changed locations to the local park & trails.

The family took the opportunity to update their family photo while they had me at their disposal, excellent idea! Once we had that out of the way, we brought in another 4 legged friend!

Blacklight Shoot

Just for fun, I invited my grads to come over for some glow in the dark shooting! I got some blacklights, some glow in the dark paint and let them go to it! They did their own designs on each other and we had fun being creative. Sometimes it’s fun to shoot just for the heck of it and try new things. I paid them for posing with fudge brownie sundaes, which seemed to suit them just fine!

 

 

My favourite Yoga Girl

Tabi needed new photos for her yoga business to advertise and for demonstration purposes in teaching. She rented a hall and gathered a couple willing participants to pose with her and we were able to create some great stuff with only a few giggling fits!

A fun afternoon where they did all the work is my idea of a good time. I don’t often get to boss around the personal trainer, fitness guru so I couldn’t resist a few “and hoooooooold it. holllllllld it, just a little longer…..” 🙂

Real Estate

Starting a new business and retraining in a new field can be a daunting task. This lady took it head on and is plowing ahead fearlessly.  Audrey’s outlook, enthusiasm and sense of humour made easy work for her headshot session that she’d been putting off.

I wish you all the best in your real estate venture Audrey and I’m glad we could make this part of your work painless! Thank you for sending a copy of your hot off the press business cards! It’s so neat to see the final product and how headshots look in use!

Senior Photos- Jesse

Jesse moved in next door quite a few years ago and has been in and out of my house with my kids innumerable times! This made her shoot just a little more special and fun. I’ve been looking forward to her grad year for ages and we made a day of it!

We started off at the park, changed casual wear for some fun cap & gown shots, pulled her sister in for some shots, hit a graffiti wall downtown, back to her house for some more there and then moved into the studio for more formal cap & gown portraits. We may or may not have worked that girl for 6 hours… but she did get a few breaks I swear!

It was an absolute pleasure from start to finish and I love what we created!  Keeping our secret bus stop shoot under wraps was killing me but I managed to hold it in until their reveal and ordering appointment. It was so much fun surprising her parents with those portraits! I was thrilled that they loved them as much as we did (1 album spread: done!)

Fall Family

I’ve known this family from my church for years so knew this would be a fun one with no worries of the kids being strange with me. When the girls got out of the car distraught and teary, having fallen asleep in the car, I wasn’t sure that things would turn around with such a rocky start!

I needn’t have worried, they were rockstars in no time, knocking out poses and grins left right and centre! There was no end to their spontaneous jumps and sisterly hugs and the expressions!!!!

I was thrilled with the results and was able to reassure the worried mum that there was material galore to work with! It was actually a bit hard to cull things down to a reasonable number of selections for the ordering session.

Mum had always wanted a wall display for the stairwell so I requested a photo of the space in advance and I was able to design a layout incorporating lots of fun & cute from their session.
