CLIENT SHOOTS - Bethany & Jonah

I have really been neglecting my blog lately.  So to rectify that, I'm sharing some images of a beautiful young couple that I took before they went off to their Prom last week.

Bethany's dress was so beautiful and she looked doubly beautiful in it.  And Jonah looked pretty handsome too!  :)

Here is a slideshow of their images and a few of my favourites.  I've been waiting to use this song for a client for sooooo long!

Wishing Bethany and Jonah the best of luck and good fortune as they continue the journey through their lives post high school.  :)

MY CLIENTS - I Love Faces :)

I photographed the little girl in the first 'Faces' Collage during her first year.  She had THE-MOST- AWESOME faces every session.  The second 'Faces' Collage is from her little sister's recent 9 month session.  She really did a great job showing her big sister how it's done.  :)

I love these girls!  :)

CLIENT SHOOTS - Daddy's a Firefighter

I featured this little precious bundle in my newsletter last year and on my Facebook Page, but didn't blog about her.  I loved doing this session so much!  Daddy is a Firefighter, so we had a lot of fun with that theme.

These are some of my favourite images that we created during the session.

CLIENT SHOOTS: Decorating with Mrs. Claus

It's getting close to the Christmas season once again and that means the Women's Christmas Showcase of South Simcoe is coming up!  I'll be there again, along with Mrs. Claus (aka Shelley Barlow), Ginette Stone and Benjamin Piellusch, taking photos with Mrs. Claus for donations to "My Sister's Place" in Alliston.  The minimum donation is $5.

Here is a copy of the show poster.  I hope to see some of you there on November 28th!

I had the pleasure of spending some time with Mrs. Claus this week, doing our pre-show photo shoot.  This year, I found her decorating the Christmas tree.  So many decisions to make when decorating the tree.  What ornaments to use, what should take the special place at the top of the tree.

One thing there was no question about, and that was her favourite ornament.  Can you see it?  It's Frosty the Snowman.  He's very cute.  :)

I can't wait until it's show time!  :)  I hope to see you there.

CLIENT SHOOTS - Welcome Jack!

Oh baby Jack!  I'm so glad your Mommy brought you to the studio!  What a cutie he was.  Here are highlights from his session.

This is my signature 'Faces, Feet and Fingers' Collage for little Jack.

This was the first time I used Mommy's hands in this type of shot.  Daddy wasn't able to the session.

Ooooh, I love this one.  heehee

So precious....

Thank you Rachelle for sharing baby Jack with me.  :)

CLIENT SHOOTS - Baby Finn

I'm starting to do a little bit of catching up with my blogging.  Even though I do feature clients in my newsletter, I like to also include them in my blog as well.  This little cutie is Finn.  His parents are awesome and I loved having them in the studio.  Ooooh his little baby lips.  :)

CLIENT SHOOTS - Another session with the Browns

The first quarter of this year was so much busier than I was expecting and I've gotten so behind in blogging and sharing images from sessions with my amazing clients.  So I will be trying to catch up over the next week or so.  There is a lot of catching up to do!

This session was the last of a few I was fortunate to shoot of the Brown Family near the end of 2012.  Here are some of my favourites and some 'outtakes'.

Family fun

Love those faces!

Waiting for everyone to get ready.

This stuff is scratchy.

Hey!  Were you touching my dress?!

The two littlest ones really stole the show at this session.  :)

Thanks for looking!

CLIENT SHOOTS: A Morning With Mrs. Claus

If you've been following along for a while now, you will know that this will be our third year at the Women's Christmas Showcase of South Simcoe in Tottenham.  It will be our third year doing photos with Mrs. Claus.

Prior to the actual vendor show, I do a little session with Mrs. Claus to help everyone get into the spirit of things.  Since this was our third time, I changed things up a bit and borrowed a couple adorable little girls to help us out.  They got to spend the morning with Mrs. Claus.

It was a fun morning and I think everyone had a fabulous time.

I am excited to be working again with Shelley Barlow, Ginette Stone and of course, my Ben.  This year we are providing your Portrait with Mrs. Claus on a disc at the show.  There will be a minimum donation of $5 and part of the proceeds will be donated directly to "My Sister's Place".  You will also have the opportunity to order Custom Mounted Gift Prints and Christmas Cards as well as purchase Gift Certificates.  So please stop by to say hello and have your portrait taken with Mrs. Claus.

Thanks for looking and I hope I see you at the showcase!  There will be a lot of fabulous local business women there.

CLIENT SHOOTS: Baby on the Way

This is one that I should have posted ages ago. When I was in BC this past summer, I was lucky enough to see my cousin Michael and his wife Yayoi. They were expecting the arrival of their new baby around the time that Ben and I were scheduled to return to Ontario. 

I had been hoping the baby would show up a bit early so I would have a chance to photograph their precious newborn, but that didn't happen. Fortunately, I did convince them to let me take a few maternity portraits. :) 

These were taken at a family get together and were VERY impromptu. The setting was my Aunty Arlene's beautiful garden.

 

Less than a week after I was back in Ontario, Hiroki was born.  I love seeing the photos and videos on my cousin's Facebook Timeline of their new baby boy.  He's such a cutie.  :)

Thanks for looking!

CLIENT SHOOTS: Meet Debbie

I'm so behind in blogging sessions and even just some fun stuff too.

Back in September I had Debbie Bullock in the studio for her Professional Headshot session.  We did both indoor and outdoor shots.  Here is one of the images from that session.

Here is a little bit of information about Debbie:

"Debbie has spent the last 10 years helping families plan for their children's post secondary education through her Registered Education Savings Plans practice.  With a desire to help her families with their whole financial picture, Debbie became a life insurance broker.  Specializing in both risk management and RESPs, Debbie has dedicated her practice to helping families to prepare for the unexpected challenges that life can present - the "what ifs?" 

Debbie also founded the WOW (Women of Wonder) Money Club, which hosts financial planning home parties for groups of six to eight women."

I met Debbie through a business networking group and it was such a pleasure photographing her.

CLIENT SHOOTS - Club Vallelonga Monserrato Golf Tournament

Back in August I had the pleasure of shooting a golf event for Club Vallelonga Monserrato.  The tournament was held at Glen Eagle Golf Club in Caledon.  The day turned out to be beautiful, weather wise.  Ginette Stone came out to do assist with the shooting as well as the onsite editing.  It was such a pleasure working with her.

We took shots of the golfers teeing off as well as putting and searching for balls in the tall grass.  I provided a slideshow video for the organizers to play during the dinner and the golfers were able to download their favourite photos from a private online gallery the next day.

Here are a few shots from that day.

The carts are ready to go!

Glen Eagle is a beautiful course.

Hey look!  That's me!

CLIENT SHOOTS - A beautiful day for a wedding

It turned out to be a fabulous day for a wedding in the Schomberg area late August.  The wedding took place on an absolutely gorgeous property.

I really love smaller, more intimate weddings, and everything about the day was perfect.  There were even purple martinis to go along with the colour theme!

I had the pleasure of having Ginette Stone shooting with me again, who I really enjoy working with.  Here are a few of the highlights from the afternoon.

Photographs by Lisa Piellusch & Ginette Stone.

Thank you Liz and Chris for including me in your very special day.  It was so nice to meet your family and friends and photograph your beautiful wedding.

CLIENT SHOOTS: A Wedding in Quesnel, BC

I'm finally starting to catch up on my blog posting.  This summer I was able to make the trip to BC for my friend's wedding.  I hadn't seen her in YEARS, so it was great to reconnect and to be able to photograph this special day for her.

It was a wedding filled with a lot of unexpected happenings throughout the planning process and even that day.... but in the end, it was a beautiful ceremony, with family and friends looking on.  A lot of fun was had by all at the reception that evening and I'm so glad I was able to be a part of it.

Congratulations Kristy and Jim.  I hope you have many, many years of happiness.  :)

Here are a few memories from the wedding.
