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.

You can find out more about Debbie and her business on her web site:  www.debbiebullock.com

PHOTO OF THE WEEK #17 - Champ Coaches

Yes, another baseball themed photo of the week.  :)

Last weekend was the Tottenham Old Timer ball banquet.  That's where hubby's team received their trophy and jackets for being the Playoff Champs.  That meant I HAD to take my camera to the banquet.  haha

Here's a picture of the team coaches, Paul and Steve.  Congrats!!

Thanks for looking!

PHOTO OF THE WEEK #16 - 'She Did It!'

What fun these two girls had just over a week ago (yes, I'm a wee bit late in posting this one since we started a new week already!).

They got to spend part of a morning with Mrs. Claus.  Once again Mrs. Claus and I will be at the Women's Christmas Showcase at the Community Centre in Tottenham this year on November 25th.  You'll see more posted about that event soon, but we do a preview session and some of the images are used to help promote the show.

One of the first questions the girls asked me was......"Santa has a wife?!"  :)

I'm very behind on my blog session postings, but keep an eye out for the post about this session.  What fun it was! :)

'She did it!'

PHOTO OF THE WEEK #15 - No Fishing

We spent Thanksgiving weekend camping at Emily Provincial Park which is near Peterborough.  It was our first time going to that park.  That's what I love about having our travel trailer.....we can visit new places every summer.

While there, we met up with my friend Al, who was at his trailer near there for the weekend.  He took us on a little tour and we went to Lindsay where there was their Farmer's Market going on and we also visited the Locks in Lindsay that are part of the Trent-Severn Waterway Lock System.

Ben, Paul and Al tried a little fishing.  I followed Ben for a bit and he ended up at this spot.  He had just dropped his line in and I took his picture.  Then I looked around......LOL Ben!

When I asked him if he had read the sign he said 'no' and then he had a look.  He was a bit mortified when he saw it.  haha

Unfortunately, nobody caught any fish that day.  But we did buy some yummy things from the Farmer's Market!  :)

PHOTO OF THE WEEK #14 - Happy Birthday

Paul turned 50 this summer.  With how hectic the summer was, we never had the opportunity to properly celebrate this milestone in his life.  So last weekend I had a party for him.  Because I knew I would be very busy, I decided that I would leave my cameras in my office and only use my phone.  It was tricky once the sun went down, but I did manage to get a few shots to remember the evening by.

You can't have a birthday party without a birthday cake.  So here is a quick snapshot of his birthday cake.

Happy belated 50th Paul.

PHOTO OF THE WEEK #13 - SMILE! It's Your Birthday, Joseph!!

It's always so great when someone takes me up on my  '~SMILE! It's Your Birthday' promotion.  Tina booked her micro-mini session for her son who was turning 4.  What a fun little session we had outdoors.  Joseph is such an awesome kid.

Here is one of my favourites from his session.

Here is the one his Mom picked as her favourite:  https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151267407929155&set=pb.68608509154.-2207520000.1349113078&type=1&theater  (The link will take you to my Facebook business page, so while you're there, 'like' my Page to be kept up to date!)

And yes.... her photo of this little darling really was complementary.  :)

PHOTO OF THE WEEK #12 - Beer Bros Win!!

Last weekend was the playoffs for hubby's ball league, and the team he is a Co-Captain of really kicked some butt!  They ran the table and didn't lose a game.

When I saw this photo as I was reviewing the ones I took of the Championship game, I knew it would be my favourite.  It was taken seconds after the last out of the final inning.

Congratulations to the Beer Bros!!

Thanks for looking!

PHOTO OF THE WEEK #11 - Paying Attention

Well, a week ago was Ben's ball league's season ending tournament.  His team was awesome this year.  The team was a mixture of kids who had never played ball before, had been playing since T-ball, girls, boys and one who was too young for the division but was an amazing player (and I think paid the most attention on the field!).  But with all of the practicing the coaches did with them, along with the support of their parents, all of the kids improved in all aspects of the game.....even in the paying attention part.  haha (...which is important if you don't want to get hit by the ball or if you want to make some great plays!)

By the end of the season they were hitting well, making some plays in the field and I think Ben was even running a wee bit faster around the bases.  He felt bad during one game when he got a player out at second base who was from the T-ball division as she was filling in a spot on the Jr. B. team they were playing against.

Ben's team went 14-2 in the regular season.  The games during the final weekend tournament were great games and really fun to watch.  They ended up not only coming in first in the season, but also at the tournament.  It's the first time for Ben, so was quite exciting.  And.....it was also the first time I had ever missed the awards ceremony where they got their trophies, as I had to work.  I did ask Paul to take some pictures with Ben's camera, which he did...........  I gave him a 6 out of 10 for quality and Ben gave him a 1 or 2 I think.  LOL  It's not entirely Paul's fault though, as Ben had some funky setting on his camera and wouldn't change it.  But even though a lot of the photos are blurry, you can still see the big smiles on all of the kid's faces.  :)

So here's a picture from the tournament where it actually looks like Ben is paying attention.  I'm sure he can hear coach Ted's voice from the outfield.... "Eyes on the ball, glove in front, pay attention"  Heck!  He even looks like a ball player in this photo.  LOL
