Recently Genevieve visited our studio
with Baby Meggie for a Newborn Portrait session.
Genevieve was searching for an environmentally
friendly alternative to disposable diapers and she now sells a line of cloth
diapers.
The cloth diapers are not only environmentally
friendly, the look great as well!
You can get more details on her
products at www.babyandme.weebly.com.
This is one of my favorite images
from the session.

In the current economy making sure you’ve covered all the bases, while staying on budget can be a challenge.
You may be tempted to save a few dollars, and forgo hiring a professional photographer.
After all, your friend / relative / co-worker has a nice new digital camera,
and they’ll photograph your wedding for free.
Or you know a student who’s just out of school and looking to build their portfolio.
They’ll shoot your wedding and give you the files on a DVD for $500.00.
I know this will sound self serving coming from a Professional Wedding Photographer,
but you need to remember one simple fact when you’re making this decision:
It’s as simple as that.
I was contacted no less than six times last year by couples with a DVD containing 1200 snapshots from their wedding.
They were overwhelmed and wanted me to fix the exposure, crop, color correct and retouch their wedding images and produce an album for them.
My answer is always the same: “Why don’t you ask the person who took the photos to do that”
The answer is usually that their friend either can’t or won’t do it.
That last point is hugely important. I have a signed contract with all my couples. From the word go, everyone knows what is expected of them.
I’m not going to “forget” your wedding. I’m not going to decide I’d rather go to the cottage,
or get nervous and back out ten days before the wedding.
If one of my cameras develops a fault, I’ll just use one of my spares.
Over the past years, I’ve been contacted by couples looking for a photographer on short notice because their friend backed out for one of the above reasons.
Believe it or not,I’ve even been approached by couples while I was photographing a wedding
asking me to photograph them because their friend didn’t show up.
As I said at the beginning, Wedding planning is all about setting your priorities. One thing to remember though is twenty years down the road,
you’ll be glad you made the small investment of having a professional capture and immortalize one of the most important days of your life.
Good luck in your planning.

France and Sylvain are a wonderful couple that were married in Wendover, Ontario.
We had a lot of fun photographing their wedding on a crisp fall day.
Here’s a look at their album.

Last winter we photographed Martine and Jean-Francois’ wedding in Rockland (You can see that post here). As I said in the previous post, it was a wonderful warm and touching wedding.
A short time ago, Martine and Jean-Francois brought Shan, the newest menber of their family to our studio for family and newborn portraits.
Here are a few photos from their session.

I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays as much as we did.
During the break, I put together a couple of videos of some of the work we’ve done in the past year or so.
The first video features weddings we’ve photographed in Ottawa, Rockland, Plantagenet, and the surrounding area.
We’ve been lucky to work with some wonderful Brides and Grooms. We’ve photographed weddings that ranged from a small, intimate wedding with less than ten guests, to a memorable outdoor ceremony and reception at a local farm with nearly 300 guests.
And we’ve had a lot of fun doing it.
To all of our Brides and Grooms from 2008, we would like to thank you for allowing us to be part of your wedding day.
To our 2009 couples, we wish you the best of luck in the planning of your special day.
Linda.
