My husband Derek has been working really hard on our cottage getting it ready for the slew of guests we’ve had this summer, particularly our kids and grandkids visiting from Montreal and Ottawa. The cottage will also double as a photography studio. I am seriously loving it!
We have a big family. A big beautiful family with a bunch of kids and it is something that I cherish very much. Last week we had the whole gang together here on the farm for the first time since we moved and it was so wonderful. We have always taken family portraits but unfortunately we couldn’t pull it off this time. The logistics of a family of 13 is crazy! But we did manage to photograph Andy and Vanessa and daughters Alyson and Amelie in the cottage. Thanks Andy and Vanessa. Love you big! Here’s a few photos for ya. xo
A few pics from my wonderful niece Courtney’s High School Prom. She and her gang were to arrive at the waterfront on a double decker bus, which we did see drive by, however never showed up. We followed in hot pursuit via Courtney’s texts to me and chased a double-decker bus to Victoria Park where I literally ran after the bus, camera in hand, trying to catch it as it drove off. It was hilarious. They gathered at Charlottetown’s Province house before doing the traditional ‘walk about’ in front of a huge crowd, into the Confederation Centre for their Prom Night dance after which they were to camp out in a farmer’s field. They sure do go crazy here for prom. EVERYONE comes out to see the kids. Very exciting.
These photos were taken with remote flashes. I finally figured it out and I am hooked. Of course I have a long way to go, but want to really master using multiple remote flashes because they are so much more portable than studio lights. Fun!
