Merry Christmas to You

Blog Merry Christmas to you

After the Fall Sessions when all the leaves have fallen and it’s just too cold to go outdoors for photos, that’s when I start doing Christmas Photo Sessions in my Studio. I have a couple of backdrop options and I hope to have more each year. I also have many digital Christmas and Winter backdrops to create magic for you. These photos are perfect for your Christmas Cards to show off your beautiful family.

Clothing for Christmas Photo Session

Wondering what to wear for your Christmas Photo Session? Plaid with plain colors looks awesome. Clothing with shades of red, and green can be fun. Sweaters can also be a great choice. My main suggestion is to wear clothes that make you feel and look good; Like your favorite formal shirt or dress. I would also suggest that dark colors can slenderize, and light/pastel colors can be very beautiful. Find clothes that are more closely fitted clothing that flatters your shape. You may want to wear medium to long sleeves and pants. Thinking simple and timeless style will work for most people. If you want to wear shoes for your photos, I ask that you bring them with you instead of wearing them to the session.

Here are some tips on what NOT to wear:

  • some patterns don’t work for the camera. 
  • avoid words & logos on the clothing as they can be distracting 
  • Don’t be too cool or too warm for a session. Please dress for the weather. 

Merry Christmas and Thank You

Merry Christmas from my family to yours. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas holiday by spending it with the people in your life that matter the most. 

I want to thank everyone for your support again this year! It has been an amazing year! I meant more wonderful people and some forever clients! Please remember to support local and spread the word about the hard-working business people in your communities.

Fall in Love with Photos

Blog Fall in Love with Photos

If you ask me my favorite time of year to do on-location/outdoor photo sessions, then I would definitely say Fall. I Fall in Love with these sessions each year. However, the perfect Fall session is very short on time. It’s about 2 weeks long. Then a freeze or wind comes and takes all the leaves away. If you are interested in a Fall Family or Couple Session then I can add you to the list and contact you when the time is right. These sessions are usually completed around 4 pm in October. 

Clothing for Fall Photo Session

Wondering what to wear for your Fall Photo Session? Plaid with plain colors looks awesome. Clothing with shades of red, orange, and yellow can be beautiful. Sweaters can also be a great choice. My main suggestion is to wear clothes that make you feel and look good; Like your favorite formal shirt or a favorite summer dress. I would also suggest that dark colors can slenderize, and light/pastel colors can be very beautiful. Find clothes that are more closely fitted clothing that flatters your shape. You may want to wear medium to long sleeves and pants. Thinking simple and timeless style will work for most people. 

Here are some tips on what NOT to wear:

  • some patterns don’t work for the camera. 
  • avoid words & logos on the clothing as they can be distracting 
  • Don’t be too cool or too warm for a session. Please dress for the weather. 

Engagement Photo Session

A Fall photo session can be the perfect time to get your engagement photos. They look beautiful on those Save the Date cards. I have done some Fall engagement sessions and they turned out so nice!

Christmas Card

The best time of year to get those Christmas Card Photos are in the Fall. Family Fall Sessions are beautiful to print for the wall, update those family photos, and are perfect for this year’s Christmas cards!

Professional Headshot session

Blog Professional Headshot session

Do you need a professional headshot of yourself? For your business, your job, or for another reason? I can help with that! I’m located in Northern Arm (near Botwood) in Newfoundland, Canada. 

We would start by discussing what your professional headshot should say to your viewers. Do you want to make them feel comfortable and safe? Or do you want to look strong and confident? Because there are certain color combinations and poses that portray what the viewer will feel about your headshot and therefore your business or your personality. 

We will also discuss your backdrop options in the studio or on-location areas to use for your session. Do you want a dark or light backdrop option? Or do you want to be outdoors surrounded by nature?

I know it can be hard to stand in front of my camera by yourself but don’t worry. We will make is a fun experience and get the professional headshots that you are looking for. Looking professional is important for many businesses and jobs. The way that the public view you and/or the business will matter to how they interact with you.

High School Graduation Sessions

Blog Graduation Sessions

Congratulations to the Class of 2023 from Point Leamington Academy, Botwood Collegiate, Leo Burke Academy in Bishops Falls, Exploits Valley High in Grand Falls-Windsor, Lakeside Academy in Buchans, Hillview Academy in Norris Arm, Lewisporte Collegiate, and all across Newfoundland and Labrador! You did it! I’m so excited about this year’s grad sessions. 

I offer 2 packages for my senior graduations sessions. You can book a session on grad day or whenever you are available. Other great days for photo session dates include cap & gown day and hair trial day. 

1-Hour

My 1-hour package for $125.00 gives the graduate and the special people in their lives, a very memorable experience, and 50 beautiful digital images to cherish forever. The session starts with getting the main group photos that you need to make everyone happy. With the time that remains, I then focus on getting the best photographs of the graduate. This session will be done at one location. 

2-Hours

My 2-hour package for $200.00 gives the graduate the best option to get every possible photo that you could want to make the day unforgettable by receiving 100 beautiful digital images. We take all the special people with the graduate to a location and capture all possible combinations you want. Then we get to have even more fun. I take the rest of the time to focus on the graduate and use all my skills, ideas, and props to create the most amazing photos. We can focus on Pinterest ideas, and creative poses, and use props from sports activities, vehicles, or anything the graduate is interested in. This session can be done at 2-3 locations depending on time. A location can be my studio with multi-backdrop options. 

There is no limit to the people that can come to the session. The time I spend with you will be your session limit.  

If it rains on your session date, we can reschedule or do your session at my studio in Northern Arm (near Botwood). 

You can book your grad years in advance to have the first chance with me when your special day does come. 

These photos are from 2022 grads but will be updated with 2023 grads as they are completed!

Happy 1st Birthday Wyatt!

Wyatt had a blast at his cake smash and his first birthday photo session! 1st birthdays are the BEST! He was so sweet and happy.

There was Wyatt’s mom, dad, and brother at my in-studio photography location at Northern Arm, Newfoundland Labrador. We all had so much fun at this session. There was so much laughter and joy that will be remembered about Wyatt’s precious milestone of turning one. He had multiple changes of clothes to show how cute Wyatt could look. Also, they brought along the cutest cake, and Wyatt had wonder and so much curiosity about this cake. 

Do you want a birthday session for your little one? Are you interested in a cake smash session for your little boy or little girl?

Senior Graduation Sessions

Blog Senior Graduation Sessions

If someone gets me talking about photography, then I will more than likely bring up that I absolutely LOVE photographing senior graduates! 

These sessions are my favorite because these young adults are full of joy and smiles to finally finish their high school years and start their new adventures in the big world. They are looking their best, and they want to capture this magical memory.

For the Class of 2022, I did senior graduation sessions in many locations including; Botwood Collegiate, Hillview Academy in Norris Arm, Lakeside Academy in Buchans, Exploits Valley High in Grand Falls-Windsor, and John Watkins Academy in Hermitage. 

For grad sessions, I only do 1-hour or 2-hour sessions. The 1-hour session includes group photos and then a focus on just the graduate for the rest of the time. My favorite is a 2-hour session with the grad! We take all the possible group photos that we can, then we use the rest of the time to have alot of fun! With a 2-hour session, there is enough time to go to multiple locations and have whatever props and poses you want! 

I also have experience with photographing the cap and gown ceremony and banquet for the whole class. I take a group photo of the class and then all the decorations and events that happen. For events, I can be hired for $100 per hour and get up to 50 images per hour.

Posing Tips & Tricks

Blog: Why hire a professional photographer for your special event or family photos? POSING

FIRST

As a professional photographer, I know how to help you look your best in front of the camera. It starts with the camera settings and lens, along with the type and angle of lighting I use during the session.

SECOND

Then it’s the plan that I specifically create for your session which includes how I will pose you and others in the photo. I start by posing your feet and your hands. The hands must always have something to do. 

For men, I make sure they look comfortable and lean or step forward. 

To pose women, they sure look elongated, and I pose them to have negative space and show curves. 

For kiddos, it’s all about the expression and just having fun with them. 

For groups, I like to create triangles and avoid mirroring. 

Then with any photo, I make sure there is a connection between the people within the photo, or between the individual and the camera. 

THIRD

The last part is the editing process that I do when transforming your images into the final photo that you received in your website gallery by shootproof. I love to bring a bit of magic into your session and make sure you are looking your absolute best.

You can also check out my blog post on What to wear to your professional photo session at

The photos below show the between posing your body straight at the camera VS having a professional photographer give you tips and tricks on how to pose.
