Christmas Children's Portraits

Sun, 21 Nov 2010 20:41:00 -0600

Christmas came early to the red door studio this weekend with a sold out Children’s Christmas Event! With over 40 kids coming through the studio in two days the set and backdrop stood up exceptionally well! Thanks to Fleurish Design Studio for the fantastic Christmas inspired urns that helped transform the studio into a rustic winter setting complete with a variety of antique sleighs and hockey skates. Now its time to complete all of the editing and Christmas Card designing for the orders coming in. I look forward to seeing everyone again the spring for the next red door children’s event.

Christmas at the red door Studio

Sun, 07 Nov 2010 16:41:00 -0600

Christmas is always a busy time of year, this year especially with the use of the indoor studio allows red door to make the most of the holiday season! On November 20 & 21 red door will be celebrating with the Children’s Christmas Portrait Event! Although it may seem a little early with Christmas orders we need to ensure that the photographs and custom designed Christmas Cards are back in time for mailing and gift giving this holiday season. If you can’t make it to the event please email red door to set up a separate holiday portrait session.

Smash the Cake

Sat, 06 Nov 2010 20:38:00 -0500

Torunn Eileen Knight turned one! Although most children on their first birthday take full advantage of “smashing” their piece of birthday cake, red door PHOTOGRAPHY took this idea one step further and had a “Smash The Cake” session for Torunn’s first Birthday. A few simple props including a cake, rolling bin, mixer beaters, some spoons and one very chocolate cake led to a an interesting and messy experience for this little one! This was so much fun that we hope that this becomes a standard First Birthday Photograph for all red door clients!

Fall Children's Portraits

Sun, 24 Oct 2010 20:34:00 -0500

Due to popular demand by red door clients this weekend we brought the outdoors indoors to the studio and created a fall setting. The studio was transformed into a fall scene with pumpkins, a corn backdrop, fall leaves and a mini bushel of apples.

I was surprised the most that the kids loved the apples! We realized after the last portrait session just how much the apples were enjoyed from all of the bite marks out of the apples!

Red Door at the Lock Three Welland Canal Museum

Sun, 10 Oct 2010 20:15:00 -0500

Can you tell how cold it was? Red Door Photography took advantage of the close location of the Lock Three Museum on the Welland Canal Parkway to the red door studio, as a different backdrop/photo location for Carrie and Mark’s family photographs. The afternoon turned very cold and the kids took turns running around to try to stay warm!

Christmas Portrait at Old Decew House

Sat, 09 Oct 2010 16:32:00 -0500

On a cool but bright Sunday morning the Ferrelli family gathered at the Old Decew House in Thorold for their Christmas Family Portrait! The photographs were a great Christmas gift for extended family and friends and red door designed some custom Christmas Cards to complement the great photos. With a large group including lots of little ones we took lots of breaks in between different shots and took full advantage of the location.

Melissa & Roger Marquis

Sun, 03 Oct 2010 16:03:00 -0500

An ideal fall day for a wedding! Red Door Photography was invited to photograph Melissa & Roger’s wedding day in Port Hope at the Port Hope Golf and Country Club, a fantastic and intimate wedding venue! With full access to the historic home, grounds and golf course the locations for photographs were endless! Red Door captured both intimate moments as well as the requested larger more organized family portraits. Congratulations Melissa & Roger!

Under the Big Top

Sun, 12 Sep 2010 22:51:00 -0500

Step right up to the greatest show on earth! The Circus arrived at the red door photography studio this weekend offering its clients a unique children’s portrait session! The studio was filled with circus inspired colours and photography props including a big top tent, elephant, hula hoops, popcorn and other fun props that the kids loved! We can’t wait for the next themed event, the Children’s Fall Portrait Event October 20. A special thanks to Frost Bakery for the fantastic Circus Themed CupCakes!

Madison Turns One!

Sat, 28 Aug 2010 15:48:00 -0500

What a great way to end a fun year spent photographing Madison! Madison’s parents purchased the children’s growth package that allowed photographs of Madison to be taken every three months! This is a great way to keep a record of her growth and changing personality for her first year. The theme for Madison’s first birthday was farm and farm animals held at Happy Rolph’s petting farm in Niagara On The Lake, red door designed her birthday invitations to complete the theme!

Happy Birthday Madison!

Hansen Family Pictures

Sat, 21 Aug 2010 15:47:00 -0500

Red Door Photography takes a different approach to family pictures they do not need to be stuffy or perfect! But ideally should reflect the personalities of everyone in the photo especially of the kids! For the Hansen Family Portrait we used Happy Rolph’s as a location to explore and stop along the way for photographs instead of trying to keep the kids in one spot for a period of time! The combination of animals, rocks, water, a playground and a bendy old willow tree allowed us to capture some great moments.

Amelia Comella

Sat, 14 Aug 2010 15:42:00 -0500

Tiny Amelia Comella was only 3 weeks old for her very first portrait session! Despite some tears and crying we were able to capture some fantastic baby photographs! The ones in the basket are by far my favorite from the portrait session.

I am thrilled to be able to watch her grow up! If you are interested in a red door photography portrait session or package for your new-born please contact us!

Happy First Birthday Dante

Sat, 14 Aug 2010 15:22:00 -0500

Dante Ferrelli turns one! Red Door Photography is always trying to do new and different photographs for its clients, especially for clients that we see on a monthly basis. Red Door is fortunate enough to photograph Dante every month and for his first birthday we knew we had to do something extra special! An evening spent in Port Dalhousie was the perfect location to celebrate this birthday and the fact that we found a giraffe (his favorite animal and first stuffed toy) created some unique Photographs! The family photographs that we took on the beach completed this outing.

Wedding Bells in Niagara Falls!

Sat, 07 Aug 2010 21:27:00 -0500

Lauren and Bill traveled from Pittsburg to tie the knot in Niagara Falls Ontario! A location that they had come to love over the years provided an intimate wedding experience at the newly remodeled Hilton Hotel directly across from the Casino.

For some quick group and individual photographs we ventured across the street to the entrance of the casino where the large water fountains and skyline of glass provided the perfect backdrop! The addition of an old taxi convertible that allowed us to climb and play in the car! Thanks to (cab company name) for your generous time! Congratulations Lauren & Bill.

An Evening at the Beach

Sat, 07 Aug 2010 15:39:00 -0500

I have been fortunate to photograph and get to know the Bowman family over the past year, it has been wonderful to see their daughter Chloe almost every month!

For their family portrait we decided an evening at the beach with their older son and two dogs would be the best location so we headed to the beach at Port Dalhousie. With some persuading and patience for the dogs we had a great evening as the sun was setting.

Serena Shields

Sat, 24 Jul 2010 15:17:00 -0500

A studio full of props for a little girl! Serena Shields had her first visit to the red door studio today and with various props and outfit changes we ended up with a variety of photographs to celebrate her first three months! We look forward to seeing you again in three months!

Growing up fast!

Sat, 17 Jul 2010 15:12:00 -0500

The growth package is perhaps my favorite package that red door photography offers as it allows me to get a chance to get to know the baby and their parents throughout the course of a year. An additional bonus as a photographer is that the child becomes familiar with the camera! This helps eliminate that shy phase most children get. Henry is an ideal model he is curious, adorable and always has lots of smiles!

Wood Family Pictures

Sat, 10 Jul 2010 15:10:00 -0500

It is always great when I am able to take pictures of my friends and family! The first family picture for the Wood family was taken in early July of this year after a fantastic weekend exploring Niagara and Niagara On The Lake we ended up along the lake to do some great family shots! Little Daniel is so adorable it is hard to stop taking pictures of him!

A day of spoiling!

Sat, 03 Jul 2010 15:06:00 -0500

A day of pampering awaits you at Lavo Salon and Spa located in the Pen Centre Shopping Mall in St. Catharines. This new high-end spa offers a full range of services from haircuts, massages, pedicures, make-up and their signature 20 minute scalp massage! Red Door was invited to the salon for a day of pampering and to photograph the salon for their Facebook page and future web page. No longer do Niagara residents need to venture to Toronto for a unique spa experience!

Thomas the Train Inspired Photographs

Sat, 19 Jun 2010 14:50:00 -0500

Boys and their trains! Inspired by Thomas the Train, red door found an abandoned set of train tracks in St. Catharines and with a simple train conductor’s hat had two fun filled portrait sessions with Dante and Hunter playing on the tracks!
