Atlantic Wedding Showcase, a huge sucess!

This year was our first year exhibiting as a Halifax wedding photographer at the Atlantic Wedding Showcase. We had so much fun listening to the excitement of all of the brides as they talked about the details of their big day!

Which is harder, kids or pets?

It was really fun to sponsor the SPCA Santa Pix again this year. Photographing pets is a lot like photographing children. Sometimes with shy ones you have to go slow, and sometimes with excited ones you have to let them burn off some energy before you start taking pictures. Either way, I love winding them up and then sending them home

Won Shootout competition again! | Halifax Portrait Photographer

Every year we attend the Professional Photographers of Canada Atlantic Convention and Competition. As part of the event we get to be a part of the annual shoot out competition. For the second year in a row, I took first place. It was really fun, and our 14 year old model Paxton was really fun to work with. The whole concept is that we are given a non-professional model and 10 minutes. The rules can change from year to year, and the photographers are not given any details beforehand.

Although it was obvious that Paxton was a little quiet by nature, she rocked our session!

2009 Shootout Competition Winner

Last weekend we won the 2009 Shootout Competition held at the annual Atlantic convention of the Professional Photographers of Canada.

Every year the rules change and participants are not informed of the details until the day of the session. This year, photographers were given an optional studio setup, a model, and ten minutes to create ten distinct and different photographs (of which one was chosen as best image). Competitors ranged from photography students to 30 year veterans.

I’m used to thinking on my feet, so to do something different, I used the hotel architecture and a blue recycling bag over my studio light to create a moody deep blue image.

The PPOC Atlantic was formed in 1933. The convention took place at the Delta Beausejour hotel in Moncton, New Brunswick.
