This morning my good friend and fellow photographer Taylor went out to take some headshots!  The sun was shining but it was really chilly out and Taylor was such a trooper!

Taylor is the type of guy who beats to his own drum, and I wanted to ensure that we captured that in some of the photos.

Last weekend I had the pleasure of creating some images of the beautiful Simpson Family!  Their living room had lots of natural light, so I setup some some minimal fill and worked with the great light we already had in the room.    I know the family was thrilled with the results of the shoot and I hope you enjoy them as well.

On tuesday of last week, I put out a call on Facebook looking for a model and Carly was the first to respond!   Carly and her family have known my family for quite some time so it was nice to get together and create some amazing images!

Today was a very special day for me.  I was asked to be by cousin Brandy’s Godfather and today was her Baptism.   And of course, after the ceremony I wanted to create a few images to create lasting memories.

She was such a good girl throughout the ceremony, only crying out for her bottle a couple times.   I am not sure if I prefer the colour version or the B&W version, so I decided to post both.   Please let me know which one you prefer!

It was a special day for Brandy’s older sister, Brianna too.   Brianna loves to hold and kiss her little sister and for me this is my favorite image of the day.

I thought that a copy of the certificate with the candle would make a nice keepsake as well!

After seeing the recent news about the tragedies in Haiti and Chilie, it really made me think back to my visit to Ecuador.  Today I want to share a couple more images from that amazing trip.

This first image is of a beautiful church that is right across the street from the Iguana park.

If you ever wondered what it looks like when you line up about 400 wheelchairs, just look at this image.

Some of the children we saw in Ecuador really touched our hearts.   When I saw the way the natural light was comming acrros this boys face and leaving part of him in shadow, it really touched me.  To me, it was a metaphor for how the poor in this country are partially seen, but yet so much of the poverty is also hidden in shadow.
