CHICKEN MAN

This past weekend while driving to a basketball tournament in Hamilton, I had a young entrepreneur named Alex with me. She explained her "business" , which was gathering and selling eggs from her chickens, saving her money and investing in an incubator to be able to expand towards raising her own ducks and chickens. On the side she had a jewellery design business also that was adding to the coffers.

It reminded me of a special session with a family in Cazenovia, New York who also had a sharp young man who sold his eggs to the Syracuse University staff and invested wisely. In my mind I always remember him as the "Chicken Man". He quickly scooped up two chickens, one under each arm and posed for the camera. Karsh had nothing on the expression and sense of self satisfaction that this young man portrayed.

New Boy On The Block

I have to admit that I get giddy with anticipation to see the newborn babies that come to the studio for their first photo shoot. So small, yet even at such young ages they are showing tiny signs of personality. (At least that's how I interpret them.) Seven days old "Aiden" with big sister Ella and mom and dad were no exception. Isn't he just precious.

The Happiest Of Times

On a cloudy winter afternoon, the warmth and love of Scott and Shannon kept everyone warm. This lovely couple were game for anything. I can't wait for their wedding in May.

The Professional Difference

Photography and photographic retouching have been around since the beginning of professional photographers. The importance and impact of modern day "enhancements" can take your image from "good" to "WOW"! Professionals can create the piece of artwork that will stand the test of time.

We Are The Basketball Future

North Grenville High School saw the Kemptville Warriors Novice Girls play host to Barrhaven Blue Devils and Russell Rockets in the "We Are The Future" tri-meet. These eight and nine year old girls, strongly supported by parents and friends showed that they were determined to be the next rising stars in basketball.

Following each game the "Hustle Awards" as chosen by Major Bantam and Major Atom officials were presented to two players on each team. Every player was awarded a commemorative T-Shirt of the day.

Great basketball, great coaching, great participation from all level of WARRIORS.

Welcome To Our World, Josh

Josh, not so little brother of Mathew arrived with mom, Wendy and Dad, Michael to have his first portrait session at two weeks old. I was amazed how sharp and clear his little eyes were for this age as well as well filled frame. Another big boy for the farm I'd say!

Hello From Afghanistan

I had the opportunity of photographing Captain Robert Morency and his family in July, prior to his assignment in Afghanistan. At Christmas I sent him a small photobook of his families session in appreciation for his efforts.

Robert commented, "They are great shots and I have the album in my desk drawer so that I can take it out often and think of home. " He also sent along some images of his area. "Not much greenery but the stark landscape is often breathtaking." (Rob)
