Winter Wedding Teaser

Ashley & Jordan tied the knot on a very chilly yet beautiful winter day!

Here is the lovely bride with her flower girl, getting ready to leave for the church :)

A Little Something Refreshing

We’re a little more than halfway through winter. I thought images of seashells and sand (from St Pete’s Beach in Florida ‘96) would be a little encouraging!

Part Two – Year 2009 in Review

Lisa the photographer — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 02:52:30 +0000

And here it is – July, August, September, October, November, and December 2009! No longer missing in action :)
Thanks everyone for a GREAT year!

Update – I’m still here!

It’s been a long time since I’ve let two weeks pass between blog posts – yikes!

I haven’t been extremely busy, but I was hired for a new fulltime job (because photography, unfortunately, is not my primary income!) I was unemployed for exactly three months, and I wasn’t very inspired to do much during that time!

The photos from the Carriage Trade jewellery shoot are finished… see a new batch below.

And finally, I shot my first wedding of 2010 over the weekend (chilly-chilly-brr-brr!), so there will be teaser photos coming soon from that celebration :)

Also – I promise to add the last six months of 2009 in collages this week! That is a goal! :)

Carriage Trade Custom Jewellery

Lisa the photographer — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 17:56:51 +0000

Last week I was contacted by Randall Verrall of Carriage Trade Custom Jewellery. She also happens to be a close friend of mine who designs and creates classy jewellery for any occasion. Each piece is crafted with amazing detail and exceptional care. She gave me the opportunity to expand my portfolio by capturing these images. We had a great time!

Thank you to the models who were so patient with the numerous outfit changes and ordering around! You girls were fantastic to work with :)

And a huge thanks to Melanie & Andy for providing us with a gorgeous place to photograph in! They are the generous and courteous owners of London House Bed & Breakfast, located in Guelph, Ontario.

Carriage Trade will be appearing on The Wedding Ring (Kitchener-Waterloo) – watch for it!

Cemetery Photowalk – Waterloo, ON

Lisa the photographer — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 16:43:48 +0000

A mid-morning photowalk with a couple Flickr/Twitter friends. We met up at an old church cemetery in North Waterloo. It was cold, like -15 degrees Celsius. I was only out shooting for half an hour when my toes starting going numb in my boots. Crazy! The other guys were there for an hour and by 9am, we decided to book it to Tim Hortons.

The oldest headstone I saw was from the 1700s. Just amazing to see them still standing in this yard, somewhat legible. I definitely want to go back in the summer for a green grass contrast.

I processed my photos with a cold tone and black & white; I think it suits the theme of these images.

Happy New Decade!

Hard to believe we’ve already started a new year and a new decade… man oh man.

I decided to capture a self portrait today… this pretty much sums up how I’m feeling these days: Happy.

Happy New Year!

Olympic Torch Relay

Lisa the photographer — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 03:31:40 +0000

I had the incredible opportunity to capture the ever-emotional Olympic Torch Relay in Stratford, Ontario, on Day 59 (December 27, 2009). My friend’s step-mom, Cathy Dyson, was the first runner.

Click the images to view the full set.

I even got to hold the torch!!

Thank you so much, Dyson family, for inviting me to be a part of this amazing day for you! It was a real blessing to be that close to witness a little bit of history!
