Engagement Photos @ Owen Sound {Chris & Lindsay}

Photos by: Melissa

When I’m scheduled to meet a couple for the first time, I usually have a list of ideas for location shoots. What really excites me is what happened upon meeting Lindsay & Chris…I show up, introduce myself, ask what they have in mind for their session. It’s when they say “what do you suggest?” that I really get excited!!! So not really sure how they’re going to respond, I say with confidence “Let’s go to a DOWNTOWN alley I have picked out just for you!”

…The best, is when they look at you without hesitation or fear and reply, “Sounds good, let’s go!”

I’m really on a structural kick at present, I like contemporary fashion-type shots, which isn’t for everyone! So I jump at the chance to expose my creative side and try new things with couples that are willing enough to trust me!

Portraits @ the cottage {Pine Tree Harbour}

Posted by: Christy

I love where we live! We live where people come to relax. I also love cottage life, everything is just so relaxed at a cottage.

I had the opportunity to join this lovely family at their cottage near Pine Tree Harbour in July. They have a little chunk of Lake Huron paradise right out front. We had a great time, they were a lot of fun.

The girls gave me the grand tour of the "front lawn" and play areas.

It was a bit chilly that morning, as most of June and July were, but some snuggles between photos kept everyone happy.

“Perfect timing” was the famous phrase of the day…

A beautiful ceremony followed by a fantastic photo session at a gorgeous old home on the outskirts of Owen sound.
As the session with this great Wedding party came to a close and I snapped my last frame, I literally dropped the line “that’s a wrap people” as the torrential downpour bombarded us en route to the reception hall!
Close call for sure, but right at a time where it didn’t disturb us a bit!
