Location Family Portrait |
The composition really appeals to me, placing the family in the lower right
quadrant. Showing off the beautiful natural background. |

Baby Portrait |
I love photos like this. A soft Black and White
portrait of a beautiful young family. I had the opportunity to do their
maternity portrait a few months earlier. |

Publicity Portrait.
|
Some people just photograph so well, too many great images to
choose from. This young lady needed a photograph for her application to
Ford Modeling Agency. |

A nice Mother/Baby portrait.

I like the softness and warmth of the Sepia. Not your typical big smile
into the camera, but a nice gentle expression. |

99th
Birthday Portrait.
|
An inspiration. This young lady
was having a portrait done to mark her 99th birthday. She still plays golf
but confessed that she seldom shoots under 100 anymore. I love talking to
people like her, a gentle sense of humour and a zest for life. I look
forward to seeing her next year.

70th
wedding anniversary studio portrait
of a great couple.
|
Wow, a portrait of a couple's 70th
anniversary. A fabulous couple too, they told me stories about a young couple's
struggle during the great depression, raising a family during the war years, the
joys and the successes.
We laughed, they gently teased each other throughout the portrait
session |

It was one of those truly
great weddings where everything just came together. A great looking
couple, super location and the light was perfect.
|
Some couples are so co-operative
and easy to work with, and it makes all the difference. Shot after shot of
this wedding were as they say "picture perfect". |
The negative was scanned and Photoshop was
used to add soft focus and a vignette. |

Japanese Zen garden in Takamatsu taken during a 2004 trip to Japan.

Almost impossible to pick my
favourite photo from this location, every turn led you to a tranquil place,
prettier than before. Home to Koi and cranes; sheltered by the misty
mountain, the kind of place I could just sit forever. |
This photo was shot on a very small
Nikon SQ digital
camera, then I used Photoshop to de-saturate the colours slightly. |

The Rotary Club's Adventure in
Citizenship Program official group photo. 220 students from all over
Canada were brought to Ottawa for four days to meet each other and learn
about what it really means to be a Canadian citizen. |
Each student received an 8x10 copy,
compliments of the Rotary Club of Ottawa. |
This group photo was shot on a digital
camera, allowing us to remove a police car from the left side of the background
and to drop in the Rotary Logo, the name of the program in English, French and Inuktitut. |

My gentle old dog Chico. She loved to go camping or a walk
in the woods, but best of all a scratch behind her big floppy ears. Always
there to steal one of your cookies, or beg for a corner of your sandwich with
those big sad eyes.

" Rescued from being drowned as a pup with 11 of her
brothers and sisters, survived being hit by a car at two years old.
Finally lost her to liver cancer at almost fourteen (April 2004). The house is
so empty without her"
|
Shot on a Nikon Digital
camera, the photo was cropped, and a section of the background was
enlarged and pasted behind the original photo to give it a 3D custom mat
effect. |

In Cuba, when a girl reaches the age of 15
there is a huge celebration. Leaving the church, this young girl stops to feed the pigeons in
the
courtyard.
|
"Taken in Havana Cuba, this photo shows the joyous expression
on her face on her most special day. Notice the cross in the background,
religion being so dominant in their culture.. "

Simply one of a couple of
shots taken on a Nikon Digital camera. |

This group photo is of Dr. Ed Quirk's Warrior Training
Workshop. The plan is to use this photo for advertising upcoming
workshops. The serious, intense looks reminiscent of the group photos of
"war buddies" taken in Vietnam.
|
"Group photos
don't have to be people just lined up, tall ones in the back. I love it
when a client has something a little more artsy in mind"
|
It was - 44 degrees (yes that says minus 44) outside, the
photo was actually taken in a hotel ballroom. The background was added
digitally from a real Vietnam photo, then the photo was converted to black and
white, muted and warmed in Photoshop. |

Stephanie Lefebvre is a professional Go Cart Racer, who needed
some promotional photos.

"We did some traditional photos
with Stephanie in full racing regalia plus some head and shoulders photos, but I
liked this because it's different." says Robin "It captures her
natural beauty plus her intense focus on the sport".

You will notice her reflection in the helmet. A studio

sepia" says Robin
