Professional Photographer’s of Ontario meeting

For those of you who don’t know I am an affiliate member of the Professional Photographer’s of Ontario and Canada.

On Monday I had the opportunity to work with a group of very talented photographer and a few very courteous couples, and learn a little more about my trade and profession.

Here are a few of my favorite photos from the day…..

This beautiful married couple were so adventurous and brave

Grant and Fiona

Grant and Fiona went to the same High School in China, but never meet until they moved to Waterloo. It was not long until they fell in love, and decided to make a life long commitment to each other.






This Sunday I have the opportunity to be part of their very special day, I am truly honoured.

The Happily Married Couple

I feel like such a bad blogger.

I am now in my busy season with family and wedding portraits and have just not been making the time to sit down and blog the photos I have been taking.

Please be patient with me, and I will do my best.

Here are a few photos from a session I did last week of a married couple from Kitchener. Their love was so young and fresh, I felt like they had just got engaged.

Alasdair

Alasdair and I ventured in to the heart of downtown K town to capture his uniqueness and character against a more rugged backdrop.

Ryan &Jenn

I only met Jenn and Ryan a few months ago, but I feel like I have known them a lifetime.

They are such true and genuine people, they inspire you through their ordinary love and life.

This weekend I had the great joy of joining them as they celebrated the union of their two lives.

These two are so much fun I wish you all could meet them

These photos were taken in the city the love and live in, isn't beautiful

They had a intimate gathering a the butterfly conservatory. It was just perfect.

A thought to Ponder

I do not write a lot on my blog but today amongst meetings, sessions, and editing photos I stumbled a cross a quote caught my attention.

"When you know absolutely nothing about a skill, you are unconsciously incompetent -- that is, you don't know what you don't know. As you learn more, you become consciously incompetent: you know what you don't know. With training and practice you can become consciously competent, while total mastery makes you unconsciously competent, meaning that you use the skill so effortlessly that you're not even aware you're doing it.'" - Bo Burlingham

I hope you are all enjoying the beautiful summer weather.

Sabrina and Paul

Sabrina and Paul are such a sweet couple. I have observed and respect their quiet and consistent love. I am so excited to be part of their wedding this summer!

Marleen

I had the great joy of capturing a few images of beautiful Marleen this morning. She is one of the most blissful and striking people I have met in my life.

Thanks for allowing me the pleasure of capturing a glimpse of your radiant and true beauty.
