Fall Photos

Here's a few photos I forgot to post from the fall. My grandmother had been after me for a while to take new photos of the three grand kids and their three kids... so here they are.

Nicole, Marcus & I

Max & I

Scott, Doris Anne & Lisa

The 4 Grandkids

I had the chance to take some casual shots of my hilarious nephew LP at his house with his 3 older cousins, Zach, Chloe & Gabe. They've grown up a lot since last year!

LP paused the session to go get his Doo-doo which he wanted

included & to smile.

Gabe was laying on the floor for his solo shot

& LP joined him, so Zach & Chloe hurried to join in

The 3 siblings of the bunch

and next year..... there will be 5!

Katie & Kelsey Christmas Photos

Yesterday, I had the chance to do some last minute Christmas photos of my boss' grand daughters, Katie & Kelsey. I've known these two sweethearts since they were babies, so we had a lot of laughs during this photo session in front of her Christmas tree. Here are a few of my faves...

It's been awhile since I've posted anything, but I had the chance to take some family photos of friends of ours this weekend at their home just in time for Christmas. Scottie & Stephanie have two gorgeous girls, Katie & Jenna. Check out a few pictures from Sunday's shoot

Photography Course - NBCCD Day 1

Christiane, my sister-in-law sent me an information package for NBCCD's night classes a few months back. I immediately signed up for the Intermediate Digital Photography course. Last night was night one. The course runs for 7 weeks, 1 night a week for 3 hours for $190 with a $50 discount on the next course. How could I pass up that deal?

It's going to be quite interesting. I learnt a lot already. There's 14 of us, all with different DSLRs, Sony, Canon, Nikon, Pentax, and even Minolta. I'm looking forward to what the next 6 weeks offers.

Shopping...

Over the weekend, Max's cousin Marc was in town with his girls - and although I am always thinking about my wish list for my camera, which includes a battery grip, a lighting & backdrop kit, lenses, the list goes on and on. I usually try to hold off as long as possible, so that I'm not spending a lot of money at a time. Marc has recently purchased a Nikon D90 and a 50mm prime lens - while he used his lens, I used my 18-55mm lens & external flash which I love and the results do not disappoint me. However, you can't always use your flash, espacially when you take a lot of indoor pictures at concert events, so I gave in and ordered the below lens today... now I sit and wait for 2-3 weeks for it's arrival.

Kevin & Maxime's last 5 a 7 at James Joyce

Kevin & Maxime most likely played their last 5 a 7 Friday night at James Joyce as a guitar-du0, with special guest Mike Cameron. The two have been playing at James Joyce for over 2 years now, which will soon come to an end as Kevin finishes school and moves away.
