Did I tell you I met Superman the other day??? Oshawa Ontario _ Toronto Wedding Photography

See, I told you…Superman! Or should I say SuperBaby! Meet Ethan! He’s about 7 months old now, and that’s 7 months of utter cuteness! He thinks he’s Superman, don’t tell him I told you so. I personally think he may be Superman too. Everytime we put him on the floor for his photo shoot, this is what he would do. And he loved doing it too. He’s in training I think …Training for big things.

I’ve know his mom Melissa now since she was a young teenager so for quite a few years now. If you know Melissa you would know that she is good with kids. No, make that GREAT with kids. She has a knack with kids and kids just naturally flock to her. She would make a great teacher or something to do with children. Really. (I think she takes after her granddad, but that’s another story.) Certain people have a natural calling, and it’s obvious that Melissa’s calling has something to do with children. When I was told Melissa was pregnant I had no doubt that her baby was going to have the best mom and be so loved. But what I didn’t know was how blessed Melissa was going to be with such a great baby. I don’t think I heard Ethan cry once the whole time I was photographing him. (Oh no, wait there was that one time when we all looked away when he was sitting in his high chair…but I don’t think he was “crying” as much as he was trying to say “Hey people, I’m over here, did you forget about me??” He is such a cutie, and has the biggest, beautiful eyes!

See, told you they were big and beautiful!

My goodness is he ever going to be a heartbreaker when he gets older!!

Congratulations on the birth of your son. I hope he brings you much joy in all the years to come!

Hailey Day 2 Toronto Lighting Essentials

Elaine — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 14:21:47 +0000

As promised, I did not forget about posting the pics of Hailey from the workshop. But as it goes, one day leads to another, processing pictures, placing orders and before you know it a few days have passed (errr…weeks?). Wow time goes by quickly!

Hailey, who is a Toronto Argonauts Cheerleader, was somewhat “new” to the world of modeling (but in a sense, they do it every day…but differently). She really was a natural, and really a heart of gold. We worked her for hours on this day, and she never complained once, never asked for a break, never stopped smiling (unless asked to).

Told you she is gorgeous!!

The above photos were taken in a stairwell, with a great natural light window and one strobe to the right of Hailey…Now we move to the red ladder just hanging out of the ceiling…you know, cause red ladders just naturally hang out of the ceiling! (Did I mention what a great studio we got to work out of! Tons of locations to shoot, always something different!)

And as they say in the ‘Big Leagues’ : “That’s a Wrap!” Coming up next, change it up a little, Adam!

Aleks (Toronto Lighting Essentials Workshop)

Elaine — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 02:56:05 +0000

Well, I admit it’s been a loooooooooooooooong time coming. Too long in fact. I guess better late then never right? I attended this workshop back in November, and am finally getting around to posting the pics here on my blog. The Toronto Lighting Essentials Workshop was hosted by Don Gianatti a professional fashion photographer from Phoenix. We spent the weekend shooting, chatting, discussing business ideas, shooting some more, eating, and just having a great time. It was fun to meet other photographers at different stages in their photography business, it was also very intense and very rewarding. We also got to meet some terrific models, who not only were drop dead gorgeous, but great personalities too! Sometimes life just isn’t fair…sigh…

Aleks is just one of the models we got to photograph that day. We were split into groups, and got to select which model/s we wanted to photograph for a particular lighting situation. We created the situation, and the models basically did the rest! (Ok, well maybe we snapped a shutter…or two.) So, without further ado, here’s Aleks! (Stay tuned for Hailey…or Christie…or Heather tomorrow!! You never know who you’re gonna meet here!)

More to come tomorrow! Stay Tuned…
