Baby Colin {Collingwood Photographers}

Morning,
I have been thinking lately about my work. Specifically, the style in the way I shoot my portraits. I have been really lucky over the last little while with Families from out West, out East and from around closer to home. I have been asking them about what they think makes a good portrait. The answers have been quite interesting. So I would like to ask all of you… "What do you think makes a good Portrait?" I would love to know your thoughts on this. If I can describe what I am after in the Studio, it is a "quiet" moment (sometimes those quiet moments are kids going crazy). I want to make images that last generations. Looking forward to your view on this.
So… here is Baby Colin with his two big brothers Braden and Evan (and his Mom and Dad). They were a pleasure to shoot. I always ask Clients for a line or two as what it is like here in my Studio. I usually edit the quote to keep it nice and simple. This time however I kept it word for word. A big Thank You to Cassandra!
Hope everyone is well. Check out the discussion on my John Knox Photography Facebook page.

Angie, Marlee and Marg {Collingwood Photographers}

Evening,
Time is a funny thing. Sometimes it seems to take forever and sometimes it passes in a blink of an eye. We have all had friends way, way back in primary school. Sometimes… if we are lucky, we get to keep these friends as we get to high school. Life though sometimes gets in the way and we loose touch with these friends. As time passes though, sometimes these old friends come back into our lives. We get to connect again and it seems as no time has passed at all. So with that being said… here is my old and very dear friend Angie, her daughter Marlee and Angie's Mom Marg. As Angie and I caught up over some lunches down at Duncan's (the Mulligatawny soup is killer) I already had this portrait shot in my head. It was more than fantastic to have the three of them in my studio. These portraits are going to be archivally printed and framed so that Marlee's grandchildren will be able to see them.
I hope that everyone is well… thanks for having a look.
