I Get By With a Little Help From My Friends

There are some people you are just drawn to in life. People who are warm, caring and immensely fun to be around. Katie and Adam are of this sort of people.

I am friends with Katie, but had not met Adam until the shoot. I’d heard stories about how wonderful he was and the stories definitely did not disappoint. Not only was he great in front of the camera, but when he heard that we needed a place inside to shoot because the weather was turning, he, without hesitation, offered to open the bar at the Embassy Hotel and Suites in Ottawa where he is the bar manager. Amazing! Adam to the rescue!! After a few quick calls to check with the suits, it was oked and we were on our way! It is times like these that I am reminded of the good in people, the willingness to help someone else out and that makes me very happy.

The bar was a perfect location to shoot in and it worked out great. The bar at the Embassy Hotel and Suites in Ottawa is definitely worth seeing. The walls are lined with books and it has such great atmosphere that I must go back when it is open and I am not shooting.

Thank you very much to Katie and Adam for both modelling, and saving the day. I owe you one!

Some love in the park.

Product Shoot: Doggy Backpack

Last night I had a mini shoot with Paddington for an article I wrote on Doggy Backpacks for the Ottawa Dog Blog.

Paddington is a very high energy dog and we are always looking for ways to challenge her and tire her out. The dog backpack works great because you can place little rocks in it to weigh it down and she has to work harder when running. Paddy LOVES her backpack and wears it like it’s her job!

We use the backpack when we go to the dog park and we always get a lot of comments about it. Everyone loves it! I made a quick video to go with the article to show that she has no problem moving around in it! Please forgive the quality and the orientation of the video, I shot it on my phone.

Of course I had to take some of Corduroy too, because she is very cute.

Have a wonderful day,

Photo Swap ~ Jenn Bailey Photography

Way back in November, Jenn Bailey of Jennifer Bailey Photography approached me about doing some family photos for her holiday cards. I jumped at the chance to photograph Jenn’s adorable family!

She also requested some photos of herself and her hubby, sans kiddos. They hadn’t had a photo of just the two of them since the kids were born! We had a great time at the Old Mill in Manotik.

Since these photos were going out on holiday cards, I didn’t want to ruin the surprise. Now that Christmas is two days away, I am pretty sure it’s safe!

So lo and behold – my favourite shots from our mini-session.

Stay tuned for the photos Jenn took of my family!

Have a wonderful day,

Hope Live at the GCTC with Rick Mercer

I had the pleasure of photographing Hope Live this year which was a benefit held at the Great Canadian Theatre Company in support of Fertile Future. Hosted by Seamus O’Regan and headlined by Rick Mercer.

It was a wonderful evening filled with fabulous food, created by Chef Extraordinaire, Michael Moffatt of Beckta. Rick Mercer made everyone laugh and a great time was had by all!

I’ll let the pictures do the rest of the talking.

Have a wonderful day,
