Being themselves

Rebecca Clarke — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 17:10:43 +0000

I am so glad to have met Ruth at Pet Value this year when I was the photography sponsor during the SPCA Santa Pix fund raiser. Ruth, Ian, Jayne, Luke, and their dog Jessie were fabulous at the session and we had lots of fun.

One of my favorite moments was when they were walking together over a bridge and just being themselves. Ruth and Jayne smiled like they have done 100 times before, Luke walked confidently with the group, and Ian and Jessie look happy to be in the middle of it all.

What a great day.

Which is harder, kids or pets?

Rebecca Clarke — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 14:49:55 +0000

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

Santa Pics supporting the SPCA

Rebecca Clarke — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 18:07:04 +0000

Last year we photographed over 80 dogs, cats, and bunny rabbits in three hours at the Sunny Side Mall in support of the Metro SPCA Santa Pics fund raiser. After a lot of silly noises, stomping of feet, and squeezing of squeaky toys, I am ready to do it all over again this year! It is so much fun being a Halifax pet photographer for the day and getting to visit with everyone and their furry babies.

This year I will be at the following locations:

Bark and Fitz - Monday, November 28th from 6-9pm
5431 Doyle Street, Unit 104

World Wide Furniture – Thursday, December 1st from 6-9pm
3377 Kempt Road

Pet Value – Sunday, December 4th from 1-4pm
75 Peakview Way (Larry Utek)

It was such a pleasure hanging out with Chelsea and Katie.We got together because they are both graduating university and soon Katie will be going abroad for a year. It was really cool to watch their transformation from quiet and everyday to super star!

Scrunchy Nose

Nadine and Byron told me during our session about how cute “scrunchy nose” is, and we were not disappointed. Julia is a very happy, very cute baby!

I feel blessed to be able to get to know some fabulous families through photography.

Here are a few of my favourite images of some wonderful babies, children, and families.

Jane & Donnie and their fur babies

Rebecca Clarke — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 19:16:05 +0000

When Jane and I talked about how we wanted the images to look, sunset on the beach just felt right. Donnie was in the Navy most of his life and the ocean is something he had always been connected with.

We canceled our session twice due to weather, but when we finally got together with Jane and Donnie and their fur babies on the third try, the wait was so worth it!

A picnic on the beach

Rebecca Clarke — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 18:41:07 +0000

When Anne and I started teasing out what her and her family really enjoy in life, it was obvious that they have a really strong bond.

Everything to do with the session had a meaning. We went to the beach where her and her husband Greg grew up, and later where he proposed. We brought a picnic with cheese wedges and wine which pulled in Greg’s background in food and beverage industry, and this is also something they liked sharing together. Lastly we added a little whimsy with some farm fresh sunflowers.

Anne, Greg and Gillian: Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Three Genorations

Rebecca Clarke — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 13:37:53 +0000

We met Janice and her family, her parents Elly and Don, and her brother Andy and his family at the park on Friday. Andy and his family where down for a visit from Toronto, and it was the perfect opportunity for some great family photos with all the kids playing together.

Some of my favorite moments where when Andy and Marisa threw their son Connor up in the air, when Janet’s daughter Lucy gave her brother Ben a kiss that made him smile, and when Elly and Don got together for some warm and snugly time.

Thanks folks for some fabulous Friday photography!
