JAMES HODGINS PHOTOGRAPHY

We also appreciate your emails and phone calls with your feedback on your photography session and finished products.  Photographing everyday we tend to get into “robot” mode and these phone calls and emails really snap us back into “creative” mode and put smiles on our faces.  Thank you SO MUCH!

Here are a few natural light B&W images we captured during our Event last month.  A shootthru and white reflector were used to isolate shadows and and spotted sun. We really wanted to “highlight” the kids eyes.

Well the feedback so far is unanimous.  Those that took part in our Fathers Day Event “Fathers Favorites” are telling us that Dad’s LOVED their fathers day presents, and why wouldn’t they?  We must tell you that it was a lot of fun photographing your kids again, it’s amazing how big some of the have gotten.  We are THRILLED that the dads enjoyed their images.  We also had to laugh at some of the excuses you had to tell dad to get your kids away without being overly noticeable hahaha, covert ops and Hodgins photography LOL

I thought I would show off your kids to everyone else since they are all beautiful and handsome.  Thanks again everyone.

Mom told dad that she was helping in  the kids classroom that day, so if he needed her to call the school. Of course the teacher would tell him that she was busy and would call him back later.  Nice!

Mom was taking yearly pictures in the backyard (in case the kids said something)

These 2 boys had a dentist appointment.

Dad saw the charge on the Credit Card, but mom quickly said that we were having a great deal on family portraits and she couldn’t pass it up.  Hmmmm maybe we will.

These girls were off to an impromptu dance lesson.

This dad is just clueless all the time hahaha, just kidding Jamie.

Today we had the pleasure of photographing little Shelby here.  Shelby is the daughter of Jen & Andre Gervais.  We photographed their wedding a few years back, and I have known Jen for years before that as she is good friends of the family.  What a pleasure it is to photograph all our family and friends children and events in their lives (sometimes it makes me feel old though hahaha).  This little bundle of joy was full of wide eyed smiles and coos, and yes that is her hair, all of it.     Thanks Jen and Andre for coming into our studio today and allowing us to photograph Shelby and we look forward to hanging out with you again.  Oh wait.  That’s this Saturday.   UFC NIGHT WOOHOOO!

My Niece Piper came into the studio today while Mom, Dad & Brother were out to play.  Like typical Piper style she gave me a whopping whole 10 minutes to photograph her before she had enough.  Luckily with this one, you just can’t go wrong and yes I am being biased.  The yellow hat and sweater were knitted by Piper’s Great Grandma so of course I had to photograph her in that.  Then it was out with the Piper Pickle Purple background (I think that is what I am going to call it now) which I was aloud to photograph her for a whole 6.23 minutes.  Oh my little sweetheart, Uncle Jamie is going to wear you down over the next few years.

Don’t forget we are giving away FREE 50 Gift CARDS!  104 of them to be exact.

So I am here with my friends sitting beside Jillian and on her desktop is the below image.  I was like, “that is really nice, who took that?”  (and I was serious).   She looked at me like I was a total idiot (and sometimes I am).  I guess I photographed this last June and I completely forgot (see, she thinks we are good friends, but  really we are not), just joking Jillian.  Anyways, I thought I would hop on her computer and post this image of her 3 (soon to be 4) children.

Received this comment this morning in regards to my last blog post.

“You are amazing…thanks so much for capturing a moment that will last forever. Princess Chloe is angry and crying under the table because there is no picture of her…I told her that soon we will go back and she will be able to see all her pictures too. She said the green sucker was great!”

Rebecca Zadow Lipscomb

Well, there is one thing that I can’t stand and that is a crying princess.  So just for you my little princess….voila!

We just finished photographing the beautiful Lipscomb family in our studio.  The way Evie was looking at the camera I just couldn’t pass up grabbing some extra images of this little beauty.  She was soooooo responsive to my camera (maybe it was my funny looking face).   It’s great to reconnect with old high school friends, and it’s even more of an honor that you chose us to document your family.Thanks again Rebecca, Phil, Chloe and Evie for choosing us to document this family event.

Some of you love the winter season, others  (like me) not so much.  Over the years I have ended up dreading the winter months, especially after I owned my first house and I had to start shoveling my own driveway.   I do enjoy the holidays though, spending time with family and friends, relaxing…..EATING TURKEY!.    Looking outside today with the big fluffy snowflakes falling and the few inches of snow on the ground I realized.  Crap, winter is here.  Break out your winter coats, grab your warm gloves and scarves and try to enjoy winter the best you can.

On a good note, I did come up with a great new image for my blah blah blah gallery.   The Snowman (coming soon)

Our Gift Certificate Special is on for 13 more days.

CHECK THIS OUT!

Being a Sudbury Photography Studio in the North we bring in clients from all over the Province.  As with the previous post of Mother and Son, we absolutely have to capture Father and Son as well.  Again keeping it simple using negative space to draw your eyes into our subjects.  This is an important time in a families life and we feel very honored that people chose us to document this moment.
