The Garrett Family

I had lots of favorites to choose from for this blog post of this family photoshoot! And of course, because I am a dog lover (especially husky), I had to include my favorite of the dog too :) Have a look!

Penny and Fred

Here is a quick look at Penny and Fred's big day! It was a very rainy Saturday, but they knew how to make the best of it! :)

Family Portraits

Here is an overdue post from a fun family session I did back in May. I always seem to get spoiled in working with the greatest people, and this was especially one of those times! It was a joy to work with Anita and her family :)

Beach time of the year

Canada Day turned out to be a perfect day and we decided to take advantage and do some Beach Sunset photos! I love doing photoshoots at the beach, especially evening photos when you get those gorgeous Lake Huron sunsets! We didnt get quite the sunset I was hoping for that night, but it was a nice night for photos regardless. Stay tuned for many more beach shots to come throughout the summer!

I love weddings!

I came across this slideshow from Jenna and Devon's wedding that was still hanging out on my computer, and as I watched it again it reminded me of how much I love weddings and being able to capture that pure happiness of the day. I had so much fun with Jenna and Devon and everyone involved, what a great day it was. Wedding photography is not a full time job for me, and I don't believe it ever will be. I do it because I love to and I don't ever want it to become a job that I do because I have to. However... I do still have 2013 dates available and would be thrilled to fill them with weddings for anyone still looking for a photographer ;)

Cool Anniversary Photos

If you have an anniversary coming up (or even better if you just got married) here's a very cool idea for all your future anniversaries to come. Preferably starting with your first anniversary, hold a photo of both of you on your wedding day in your anniversary photo, do this every year, holding the previous year's anniversary photo. One day you will be able to look back at all your anniversaries starting from the day you got married, all in one photo!



 

Black Beauties (AKA Friesians)

My favorite horse breed other than the Arabian, is the Friesian, and I had the awesome opportunity to photograph a mare and her foal a couple weekends ago :) Thank you to Yris and her family for allowing me to come visit and capture these black beauties!! The foal was only about three days old here in these pictures, but I plan on visiting again soon when they are a little more active and playful to get some more great shots. The Friesian, in my mind, is one of the most elegant and powerful breeds you will find. I absolutely love the thought of owning one of these horses in the future!
I have taken many pictures of many different horses, but never a black horse, and so I have discovered the difficulties that can arise. These very dark black horses, against the bright blue skies are not an easy capture, but on the upside, they make the perfect horse to capture silhouettes of. In any kind of an outdoor photo shoot that I do, overcast weather is the considered the most favorable and in the case of photographing a Friesian outdoors, nothing could be more true!


I felt the need to add some flashy black borders to my photos for this blog post, Enjoy!
