All dressed up and no place to go....

Christmas day at our house is a pretty casual affair. We wake up, open presents in our pajamas and quite often, the boys stay just like that for the entire day. It's comfy, fun and lets face it... there are way too may other important things to do after Santa has made his appearance than worry about getting dressed. That's what I thought anyways until I saw these cuties in (what will be) their Christmas dresses. Now if my boys were this fun to dress up there is no way an all-day pj event would fly. 

These two little ladies (who I have a bit of a soft spot for as they're friends with my boys and it's their home that I leave my boys at when I'm working) were AMAZINGLY easy to work with on a very cold day this past weekend. Throwing coats on and off, moving them here and there, asking them to look at the camera... they didn't complain once. Seriously... not once!

January's winner...

As I've announced a few times, myself, along with three other photographers, are donating our time to photograph the monthly winners of the Parent Guide Cover Contest. I met my first winner the other night and what a sweetheart. She's going to do amazing things and really go places - I have no doubt. She was the perfect little model and definitely deserving of the cover - I wish her lots of luck when the finals shots are released in June (and voting is open to the public so please take the time to check out the photos and vote for your favourite)!

The contest is in it's last weeks, so if you'd like a chance to win a free shoot, along with some other great prizes and have the chance to have your child or newborn on the cover of the upcoming 2011 Parent Guide, make a donation and send in a snapshot. Check here for more information.

No looking back...

I admit, I've been neglecting the blog for a while now - it's just one of those things that can fall behind when things get busy - but I'm back! I've had a change of pace lately - working on some commercial stuff and most recently my high school senior venture.

Here's my first senior - gorgeous, sweet and a natural model. Thank you Katelyn for weathering the cold, and giving me some great shots! I'm looking forward to shooting more of this age - they look when you ask, look away when you ask, there's no chasing, no bribes necessary... easy work and fun too! It's such an important age to capture - and those cap and gown shots don't quite do our seniors justice.
















Our nice days are now numbered so if anyone is looking for an 2009 outdoor shoot, contact me asap - we may be able to squeeze you in. Otherwise I'll start booking for the spring in a few weeks.
