Autumn with the girls

An afternoon with my girls a couple of weeks ago.
Sorry for not posting of late. I have been working full time with the SHR and all weekend with the photography business. And renovating a bathroom......

Our afternoon started with lunch at East Side Mario.

 Then we raked some leaves n the front yard.

 This is Ea's new pose for me.

 Then we moved into the garage and found the sidewalk chalk.

 Then we came in for a snack.....

Blogging?

Work, sleep, take photos, edit photos, repeat.....

Life is a little crazy.

So I am going to share a random sampling of what I have been up with minimum text because then I have to think. :)

Lots of joy!!

Handsome graduate!

Happy Graduate! :) (and handsome too)

Cool Dude - testing my liability insurance!

Awe - this was the sweetest little guy - love him. I get to see him once a year. :)

And one of my favs - This is Sam - I get to see him twice a year - at least!! 

Kim should put me on retainer. :) 

Loving my studio set up!

Three more photo gigs this weekend and then I am taking a couple of weeks off!!
Maybe....

 I had great plans to do a Halloween special for the kids - you know capture them in all their cuteness in those costumes you parents have gone to great lengths to get.

Okay, if you really want - if there is enough interest - contact me and let's see what we can fit in. :0)

I will focus on a Christmas special mid November in studio with all those pretty Christmas lights. I am looking for a little felt top hat for a frosty the snowman look!  :)

And now I need sleep!!

The Out Takes

The side of family photography you don't see.

Almost there......
Notice how Dad has them firmly embraced.

Relax the grip and......
Bingo!

This is where I pull out all the stoppers and make a fool of myself!

And this is where little sister accidentally whacks big sister in the face and.....

We are done!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Have a blessed day!

Ours is off to a great start! A tad early, but a great start.

Saskatoon Fall Colours

It is beautiful out there. I decided to capture some of it before the wind blows it all away to make room for winter snow.....

I will be photographing three families this weekend - let's hope the leaves hang on a few more days.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all. I do hope you have a blessed weekend with all the people you love!

Body Building Saskatoon

My photography seems to be attracting Saskatoon body builders.
This is a whole new area of portraiture for me and I am quite enjoying being able to use stronger studio lighting effects and working on really perfecting skin and body sculpting in post work.

This shoot used two studio strobes, a flash and a smaller strobe as well as at times we used the ice light to excentuate some muscle groups.

I have three more body builder shoots coming up in the next few weeks.

Here are Carly and Reg who own Wrench Fitness in Martinsville. A lovely and beautiful couple and what a pleasure to work with.

And one of my favs! This was Mark's idea. Love it. And I was thankful to have Mark there holding lights and setting up and lending me his pocket wizards..... I just bought 4 of my own. :)
