Ethan

This is my good friend Ethan, well to be honest he's more interested in hanging out with Kayden but I like to think that we're cool too. I went over to his place last weekend and wouldn't you know it...I just happened to have my camera with me. :p

Anyway here are a few shots of Mr. Ethan working the camera....

Chloe is one of my good friend's niece and last weekend we decided to get together to take some pictures. It took a while for her to warm up, and she needed a snack but once her tummy was full and she was used to me being around she was nothing but smiles!! Here are a few pictures that we took.

Family

Renee, Josh, Alex and I met up last weekend to take advantage of the great weather.
The goal was to take a few family pictures and to capture some solos of Alex who is turning the big number 1 this month!! Congratulations buddy, no more rice cereal and bland food for you. With the big number one comes a great buffet, welcome to the world of flavor!!

Mabel and Ricky

Mabel and Ricky are married! The weather forcast was for rain...lots of it!! What we ended up with was a slight over cast that turned into brilliant sunshine and nice warm weather. Well, that's what happened but the skies did look a little menacing, luckily it held up long enough for us to get out and snap a few.

Their wedding was co-ordinated very well and I credit this to their GM who ran a really really tight ship (which I think is a good thing) :)
Since we had the bridal shoot before their ceremony their GM had to keep the pace going and make sure that everything was running on time. This worked out great, we had some time for bridals, videographer had time to take his shots and we all made it to the church on time....what more can you ask for? He did all the stressing out so that Mabel and Ricky didn't have to...Great job Philip!

Pam and Andy

A few months ago...okay, (more like last year) my good friends Pam and Andy announced that they were getting married!! Being that we are such good friends I was incredibly honoured when they asked me to be their photographer!!

I love taking pictures for friends because everyone is relaxed and that makes for great moments. Even when we're not looking for anything in particular things just happen naturally and that's what makes for great photos!

We headed out to U of T just to hang out and took a few snaps while we were there. Heading back to the ol' stomping ground where I spent many a sleepness night brought back memories....sigh...funny thing is I started to miss those days, then I remembered finals, case studies and studying, yeah, not missing it that much anymore. :)

Here are a few of pictures to share..

Meeting Thomas the Tank Engine

My Wife, my boy and I drove 2.5 hours out to St. Thomas to meet Thomas the Tank Engine!
If you have kids, you know who Thomas is and all I have to say is, he is bigger in person! :P
The weather was a little sketchy with brisk showers here and there but it wasn't enough to dampen a great train ride and some fun Thomas related activities. It was totally worth the drive out there, afterall how often do you get to come face to face with a talking steam powered train engine???? :P

Pam and Parry

Congratulations go out to Pam and Parry !!! The two were married on July 17th and I was lucky enough to be given press access. :P The weather was questionable so the ceremony had to be moved from the rooftop setting to an indoor location but that didn't change the mood one bit. The venue looked amazing and although it was a little smaller than what we were expecting, the ceremony went off without a hitch..in fact, I'm a little teary eyed just thinking about it...*sniff*.

We headed outside to take a few relaxed pictures and the rain clouds started to open up. Rather than risk the bride and groom being drenched we rushed back indoors and wouldn't you know it, as soon as Pam and Parry started to mingle, Mr. Sun decided to show himself. Oh well, some days are like that. I didn't get to shoot everything I wanted but what the heck, Pam and Parry are married and that's what everyone came to see anyway.

Smile!!

This is Percy smiling for the camera,it took a few attempts...but we finally got it! :P

July 17, 2009

This past weekend Kayden's cousin Percy came down from Ottawa for a visit.
It's always nice to watch them play and hopefully they'll grow up to be good friends.
My wife and her cousins are really, really close. It's a family thing and I like that...and I hope that Kayden has that too.
