Heidi

Heidi and I recently got new glasses. Things are much clearer now especially HD television.  I think Heidi looks kinda like Tina Fey with these new glasses. Here is a headshot of Heidi.

Alaskan

I got a chance to hang out with Alaskan at their jam space over the weekend. They are some pretty hilarious guys, and I had a good time photographing them. I first learned of them in the summer when we played a mutual show together, also at the Flora house party. They are a pretty rad band, and you can check out their music here. I believe this is my first band promo type shoot, and I must say I really liked doing it.  Thanks again Alaskan for letting me do this.

Mr. Hum

On Christmas, one of my photo enthusiast relatives brought over all his camera gear to take some pictures for fun. I would say equivalent to 20k. Needless to say, I immediately started drooling and playing with his gear because a lot of it was stuff I can't afford. For instance, the Elinchrom Quadra RX kit, the Einchrom Ranger RX kit, and all the studio fixings you can think off. So after awhile, when he was done shooting the family, I decided that I would try to use this expensive equipment. I inserted Heidi for some shots, and this is when Mr. Hum (my brother-in-law) started to put on boxing gloves and stepped into the line of fire.  I think he also had many beers because his face was really red. Personally, I think this equipement had too much power even dialed fully down for my style. I prefer strobes cause they are smaller and less combersome. But Rangers would be nice for that over powering the sun look.

Natalie's pregnancy images

While I was taking family portraits of Nat's family two weeks ago, I also got a chance to do some quick maternity photos before I left. I like shooting outside, but with winter here I have to settle with being indoors.  Anyhow, these are a few of my favourites:  

Tim and Natalie's family

Last weekend I had a chance to revisit Ottawa's far east end, Rockland. Lots have changed there since I use to deliver chinese food for my parents. Anyhow, I met Nat's family and spent a nice afternoon with them.  Here are some of my favourites :

Jordan Edwards

This is Heidi's little cousin Jordan. He is fifteen and spent last weekend at our place hanging out and doing whatever. By whatever, I mean mostly playing every version of the game "Call of Duty" I had on XBOX. I have 3 versions, which are the same game really. We also saw Harry Potter in the theatres, and Heidi cried once again. Even, though she has read that book at least twice, and she had just seen the movie a week prior.  Anyways, before sending him home to Shannonville, we got him a haircut and took a few photos of him. A photograph of Jordan the boy we know, and Jordan the man he is becoming!

Olivia Nistico

September, 2010 - Here is a photo session with Olivia. Thanks to some cooperation with Pat (Olivia's father), we were able to get some good shots. She is so cute!
