Yearly Christmas Photo #2 - Hamilton

It was time once again to shoot AACreative's yearly Christmas portrait.  He shoots my Christmas photos for me and I shoot his for him.  After last year's 'Sad Reindeer' theme I was relieved that he wanted something more upbeat this year.  Plain white background, simple, classic wardrobe and a Santa hat.  I have to admit that I was not very excited to be working a white shirt against a white background with only one light but I think it turned out really well.   I ended up taking some with the hat and some without so he could use them for non-holiday purposes if he'd like.  He managed to include the ever adorable 'Fry' in some of the shots as well.  That dog is such a ham!  I'll be posting his amazing work for my Christmas photos soon, but not until I manage to finally get my cards out.  I don't want to ruin the surprise. 

More Holiday Portraits - Port Credit

This is the 'first' portrait session I talked about in my previous post.  I think this family is incredibly adorable and I loved the fast and fabulous session we had together.  This was my first time photographing this group and when I arrived bright and early on their doorstep they were ready and raring to go in coordinating outfits and had tons of creative energy.  They were so accommodating and willing to try different ideas that I think we really got a lot of great stuff out of our time working together.  Thanks for the positive energy, great choice of settings and for one heck of a kid wrangler (aka Grandma).  Special thanks to my daughter for assisting on this one too.  Check out a small selection of images from this session below. 

Christmas Portraits - Georgetown

Christmas is fast approaching and that means Christmas card season and accompanying Christmas photo sessions.  I'm actually showing this session out of order, since it came after the one I will be posting shortly, but I was playing around with a new photo grid template using these images and I wanted to share this one first.
 It was so nice to  see Alexa and Justin again and what a whirlwind session we had together scouting appropriate locations that hadn't already been previously used, figuring out wardrobe and re-arranging furniture.  Dad took a break from hanging Christmas lights to brave the basement and haul up the Christmas decoration containers so I could sort through them for handy props while Mom had to sit this one out as much as possible as she'd put her back out a few days previous.  In the end it all worked out and I think it was another successful portrait session to add to their collection.  Many thanks to AACreative for his assistance with lighting and technical support on this one.
