Wedding Photographer Barrie – Lauren and Mike’s Carnival Adventure!

Posted on September 8, 2011 by admin

When I sit with my wedding couples to discuss their engagement photos, I have the opportunity to learn what they like to do together, and how they connect.

Lauren and Mike told me they like to laugh, have fun, and sometimes that involves playing video games. Well, although I”m sure it might interesting to photograph 2 people playing Halo Reach, I knew i had to come up with a concept that portrayed their sense of humor, but also the fact that they are so much fun to be around.

We decided to wait till there was a carnival in Barrie, Ontario, and have a little fun with it. They were such sports about all of my ideas. And at the end we got a great combination of their fun playful selves, along with a softer more intimate side as well. Plus it aloud me to get a bit more creative.

Can’t wait to photograph their big day this October at Tangle Creek. Lauren will be such a beautiful bride!

Editorial Commercial Photographer Ontario – Lifesource Training Studios

Posted on August 27, 2011 by admin

A couple months back we had the chance to photograph some new images for Lifesource Training Studios in the south end of Barrie, Ontario. We have photographed this team quite a few times over the past few years. We first met the owner, Darren Kenney, when his high end training studio was built in his home. Walking in, you’d never know it was originally a garage. And this, along with their commitment to help their clients, aided them in needing to grow to a larger spot within a year.

This type of project is always exciting for my staff and I. We go in to photograph “what they do”. We call this Lifestyle Photography. No one is posed, but rather it’s a slice of life out of their everyday. How they work with their clients, the environment, the front lobby, and how they train their staff. The experience is always a ton of fun, and we get to learn about all types of businesses. Here are few shots from the most recent shoot with Lifesource.

Barrie Commercial & Lifestyle Photographer } Northern SUP!

Posted on June 17, 2011 by admin

Recently we had the chance to get outside, have some fun, and get some super cool commercial & Lifestyle shots for Northern SUP (Stand Up Paddle) for the launch of their new website and marketing material. Brent Ackland, owner of Northern SUP, came to us with his vision a few months back. And ever since, we have been completely excited to pull it together. But it all came down to the weather behaving. But finally the right day came along, and it all fell into place.

I feel fortunate every day I have the chance to hold my camera and create. And this was especially one of those days. Although we had a plan set, Brent was great at allowing me to just do what I do.

By the way, if you haven’t tried Paddle Boarding yet, you must. It is a full body workout. Arms, back, legs, and core!!!

Here are some of my favourites from the afternoon/evening photo session in Wasaga Beach. Enjoy!

Check it out! You only live once!

Kids Acting Headshot } Barrie Headshot Photographer } E’s Session

Posted on May 17, 2011 by admin

We often have clients coming into the studio for Business Headshots, whether it be for their small business, real estate, etc.
But we also do Talent Headshots for clients in the area, acting, modeling, and sometimes even musicians. Both are completely different, but still have a very fresh & natural look. Bottom line, trying to show each person in their best light.

Not quite as often, we have the opportunity to do Kids Talent or Actor’s Headshots. Which we did a couple weeks ago. “E” came into the studio with her mother, and her acting resume is quite impressive, and probably longer then most adults acting resumes!
She has had the opportunity to be in Commercials and Films with some huge names……. of course, being 12 years old, didn’t quite know who any of them were.

“E” had so much confidence, and true happiness in her smiles. She was an absolute joy to photograph. And I can’t wait to see her star in her own big box office films one day. Probably sooner then her mother hopes for.

Barrie Family Photographer } Luca Facchin

Posted on April 20, 2011 by admin

Recently i had the opportunity to photograph the Facchin family. It’s always wonderful to catch up with past clients and learn about the growth of their family. On July 25th 2009, I photographed Jenny and Mark’s wedding at Blue Mountain Village. They were a fantastic couple to work with, always laughing and having a great time. Strangely, their wedding took place during one of the busiest weekends that happens at Blue Mountain every year. Their wedding took place over the Elvis Fest weekend, which just added to the excitement of the weekend.

When i got the call from Jenny, i was more than excited to hear she wanted to come in for a family session with their new addition, Luca! Luca was full of laughter and smiles, which was obviously a tribute to Mark and Jenny’s relationship.

Barrie Headshot Photography } The Business Shot!!

Posted on March 9, 2011 by admin

Ok, so here’s the situation. Gone are the days a business headshot needs to look dated with a tacky ugly background and bad lighting. As a business person, this is your opportunity to show your potential clients who YOU are. The point of this photo is to show your personality shine thru, while giving you a professional and approachable edge. Your professional photo is now your FIRST IMPRESSION. And that’s right, you never get a second chance.

I get so excited about doing headshots. I love these sessions. It’s all about branding my clients well, and giving them a fantastic piece of marketing to use for years.

Barrie Wedding Photographers } Engagement Session } Sarah and Drew’s Love Story

Posted on August 17, 2010 by admin

Sarah and Drew fell in love 4 1/2 years ago and have been joined by the hips ever since. We had the opportunity to photograph their engagement session downtown Barrie, Ontario by the waterfront. What’s great about a couple like Sarah and Drew is that they came with some of their own ideas. And we work it into our own style.

Sarah and Drew are artists. Sarah having a background in photography, and working as a hairstylist in Collingwood. And Drew being an up and coming Graphic Designer. It was really important to tie this into their wedding day, as well as their engagement session. So, they will be getting married October 2nd at The MacLaren Art Centre. What a perfect choice for a perfect couple!

Barrie Wedding Photographers} The Old Mill, Toronto, Ontario } Brittany and Dave in love

Posted on June 15, 2010 by admin

I am so excited about photographing Dave and Brittany’s upcoming wedding at Blue Mountain. Their engagement session was an absolute blast. We headed over to the Old Mill, but truth be told, the most beautiful part of the Old Mill that day was the happiness between this couple, and the way Dave looked at Brittany.

Dave and Brittany live in the states, where he plays in the NHL. I asked Dave if he fights on the ice, because truly, I couldn’t picture it. Not only are they stunning, but they’re both absolute sweethearts. Sorry Dave, hopefully the word doesn’t get out there!!!

Barrie Maternity Photographer } Veronica and Eric’s Maternity Session

Posted on May 7, 2010 by admin

Veronica and Eric actually came in last year before i had my blog up and running. Eric is the co-owner of Salon ID, located downtown Barrie. And we had worked together on multiple shoots through the years prior. So when they found out Veronica was expecting, they knew they wanted to always remember how absolutely beautiful she looked! And what better way then through a maternity session. They also asked if they could bring along their “first born”: their dog. And of course, we said yes… in fact we encouraged it.
