Marc, Diane & Ethan

Here's a slideshow and some images from last weeks shoot of my business partner and close friend, Marc, and his wife Diane and son Ethan. I had a great time shooting the 3 of them and I look forward to shooting them again.

I also want to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season!

Merry Christmas!

The Studio Construction is Over!

I haven't posted much over the past few weeks as I haven't been shooting very much. This is because almost every spare moment I have been building our studio.

The studio couldn't have turned out as great as it did if it wasn't for my brother Chris (Harrington Home Improvements - he does great work, and I'm not just saying that because he's family! If you need a renovation completed, call him, he's got good rates and great workmanship), and Marc (my business partner), and Colin (who did alot of work), and Julia (for her assistance with all the final touches).

The pics from this project are posted below.

This studio space will be available for renting come the new year.

Thanks again to everyone for your time and great effort!!!

First Test With New Slideshow Program

Victoria

This Sunday, I had a fun-filled shoot with Victoria - who is thinking of becoming a model. For being a first time model, she took direction really well and seemed very relaxed and natural in front of the camera. As you can see from the images, the shoot was a success. I wish Victoria all the best in her future.

Stephanie & Steve Engagement Photos - Part II

I have updated the slideshow of Stephanie & Steve's Engagement photos from my October 21 posting. Scroll down to see the new slideshow and enjoy!

Hannah - Body Painting!

On Tuesday Hannah, Steve and I got together again to do another body painting shoot. Whenever we all get together it's a great time! (you can tell it's fun by one of the outtake photos of Hannah above)
The painting takes between 4-6 hours depending on the complexity of the artwork that's being painted. We spent 8 hours on this day (painting, shooting, and watching a few movies while Steve was painted).
Once again I would like to thank Steve Sammon from Pixelneck, and the beautiful Hannah for being such a great model!

Stephanie & Steve Engagement Photos

This weekend I had the pleasure of shooting Stephanie & Steve's engagement photos. The slideshow is a sample of some of the great shots I got from this beautiful couple. I'll be adding a few more images in the coming days. I can't wait to shoot their wedding next year!

Beautiful Images!

On Friday I had the pleasure of shooting a very beautiful and fun girl, Emily. This is the 3rd time I've had the pleasure of working with Emily, and each time the images keep getting better and better. I can't wait to see how good the images will be when we get together for another shoot. Thanks Emily!

Fantastic Day!

On Wednesday I got to work again with 2 great individuals. You'll probably recognize the beautiful model, Hannah, from the little kiddie pool shoot from a few weeks ago. This time she endured 5 hours of standing around getting painted by Stephen Sammon from Pixelneck, who is an amazingly talented artist. When working with these two fun, beautiful, and professional people, it's easy to make great photos!
Thanks again to Steve and Hannah, can't wait to work with both of you again soon!

Incredible Bathroom

Yesterday I got to photograph a great looking custom bathroom done by Maxx Custom Inc. Owner Mark and his crew did a great job designing and installing this bathroom. We met Mark through one of our other clients Westend Bath and Kitchen, which Maxx Custom Inc does the bulk of the installations.

Chase Jarvis

I thought I'd share this video with everyone. This guy has a great style and outlook towards photography. If you're into photography, do yourself a favour and take the time to watch this video.

Pam & Marc-Andre Wedding

This past weekend I had the opportunity to shoot Pam & Marc-Andre's wedding with a good friend and great photographer, Pat Blake (of Blake Photography). The weather and location couldn't have been better! I had a great time and got some nice shots (a sampling of the images are in the above slideshow).
Best of luck to Pam and Marc-Andre; wishing you all the best in your future together.

A Great Summer!

I wanted to thank all the models for a great summer of shooting!
You are all beautiful and I can't wait to work with all of you again soon!
Enjoy the slideshow!

Back to the wreckers with Amy

Yesterdays shoot with Amy was alot of fun. Even though it was Amy's first time modeling she managed to do quite well. By the end of the shoot she was really starting to nail the poses and give a great natural smile. We ended up running out of time/light, which was too bad with how things were progressing. I hope to be working with Amy in the near future, so check back soon to see the next shoot.

Have a great day!

Hannah and the kiddie pool

On what started out to be a rainy and crappy Thursday last week, turned into a great day; the sun came out and the model, Hannah, was great! Hannah had some great expressions during this laughter and fun filled shot. Enjoy the pics!

Emily + Car Wreckers = Great Shoot!

This past Wednesday I got the chance to shoot Emily for a second time. I had a great time shooting this absolutely beautiful girl. For the shoot we ventured out to a car wreckers late in the afternoon (it was extremely hot and sunny). Here is a sample from the shoot, hope you like them. Thanks again Emily for a great shoot!

Annie Leibowitz Red Shoot

As I'm sure you're all aware by now, the RED campaign was started by Bono last year to help the people of Africa by donating a portion of (red)-designated items to various causes.

Annie Leibowitz recently completed 20 special edition covers for Vanity Fair, to see them click here.

Check out this video from the shoot.

Canada vs Portugal

Today, Marc Desnoyers - my business partner, Matt Murnaghan - recent Algonquin College Photography Program graduate, and me shot the final International Test Match for Canada before the World Cup of Rugby in France starting in September. The match, which was played at Twin Elm Rugby Park in Ottawa, was a one-sided affair with Canada winning easily 42-12 on a cool and windy day. Here are a few images from the game. For more great images, please visit the online ordering galley.

Thanks to Marc and Matt for a great day of shooting and great images.
