Hermione & Phoebe {Collingwood Photographers}







Afternoon,
3 rd blog of the day... you would think it is Winter outside and I am chained to my desk. Karen brought in her two adorable girls into the studio. They are beautiful. I decided to make this post all B&W. I love B&W... with a capital "L' Love. I think it comes from all the hours I spent in my darkroom. I remember my first job working for the photographer Fritz Schuller. He had a hallway lined with B&W portraits. I can still see them now... he was a great Photographer to work for. Framing is now available if you would like to drop in and take a look. You can also find all my info on my Biz Facebook page under the events tad.
Hope everyone is enjoying the Winter weather.

3 Little Murphys {Collingwood Photographers}








Afternoon,
Here are the Murphy Kids. While I was getting this Blog ready I was thinking about my Grandparents. I remember my Mum (I'm Scottish and spell it with a U) getting Christmas cards ready with family pictures inside to send back to Scotland. The Murphys's Grandparents are in Montreal and Greece. So how cool is it that here are the Kids for them to have a look at. OK... now I just sound a little on the old side. But it really is pretty amazing. I had a great time with the three of them. While I was taking each of their portraits their Mum used my Daughters book nook to read some stories.
Thanks for having a look.

Jennifer and Her Girls {Collingwood photographers}





Afternoon,
I loved working with these two girls! They were silly and laughing and hugging the entire time. It always makes for a great Portrait Session when the Studio is filled with giggles. Here is an example of a design of four images together that I will be showing more of. it is now a print option offered here at the studio. Gift certificates and frames are also now available.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.

The Farrall Family {Collingwood Portrait Photographers}









Afternoon,
Great weekend! I just shot my last session. Now all I have to do is get caught up on editing, retouching and emails. This is turning out to be an amazing Season.
I have had the pleasure of working with the Farrall Family when there was just two of them, then three, now four. Liam and his little Sister Lauren are beyond cute. I was going to post some of the Family picks but decided to make the post all about the two of them. It is that crazy time of year when the Santa Hats make their appearance. Here are 8 of my favourite from the 288 files their Mom and Dad received.
I hope everyone had a great weekend.

Zack {Collingwood Portrait Photographers}






Afternoon,
I am between Portrait Sessions this afternoon so I thought I would post some of my favourites of Zack. I took some portraits of this little Man last year... he doesn't remember because he was still in his Mom's tummy. He is a great little guy who is soon going to be a big Brother very soon. Little kids always look great in Osh Kosh coveralls (his eye lashes and crazy tuft of hair helps)!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

The Sproule Family {Collingwood Photographers}








Afternoon,
There are a few things that make a great Portrait Session. One of those things, is how everyone fits together to make a great shot. I call it putting together the Family puzzle. All I can really say about the Sproule Family is that they came into the Studio already assembled. I have to admit I do like taking pictures of Mom's and Dad's getting squished by their kids.
If you would like to come in for a Session, all my info is in the Events Tab on my Facebook page. I would love to hear from you.
Hope everyone is well.

4 Tripps {Collingwood Portrait Photographers}









Evening,
The lead up to the Christmas/Holiday Season is always a little over whelming. Orders are coming in fast and furious and new shoots to line up. It is an amazing time of year! I am right in the middle of retouching 350 files.
I thought I should start posting some of the images I have been woking on. Here are some from a Session of the Tripp Family (who happen to be great Friends of ours). There are quite a few more posts to come over the rest of the week. I wanted their Portraits to kick it all off!
There is still more than enough time to come in to get your Portrait shot. All my info is in the Events Tab on my Business Facebook page and also in my Blog.
Hope everyone is well.

Joely... Round 2 {Collingwood Photographers}











Good Morning,
This is the second session with Joely. What can I say about this little girl. She is absolutely beautiful. I am sitting here trying to think of what to say about our Session together. I think though, I will just let my favourites from the 500 frames we took speak for themselves.
I knew I got something special when, I let my Wife Yvonne have a look at them and they made her cry a little bit.
Hope everyone is well.
