Friday, myself, Jocelyne and my Cousin John Robbie had the pleasure of photographing the Lasalle Secondary School Prom.  Armed with our new trusty colorsmack background from Silver Lake Photo Accessories we proceeded to photograph couples throughout the night.  The dresses this year were spectacular and we were amazed at how many guys had colors that matched the girls dresses (we know it was all the girls doing).  The background was really a big hit this year as it really made the images pop.  Thanks again Lasalle Graduates!!!

Of course, we had to try out the lighting to make sure it worked correctly before shooting.

Well the results are back and my image “Waiting for a family” took first place in “Press” Category at the Professional Photographers Of Canada Print Competition in Banff.  It was also entered into the Loan Collection but most of all, (and something that is a first for me) it was awarded the score of “Excellence” which is the highest score you can receive from PPOC.

On another note.  I think my arm hair is starting to grow abnormally.

Here is a my NOBSPBFFITW (No Bs Photography Best Friends Forever In the World) group shot that we just took here in Toronto.

Well my prints finally arrived back from the WPPI (Wedding Portrait Photographers International) where I scored an Accolade Of Excellence on one of my wedding images and another image took 3rd place for Photojournalism category.  This is the 3rd time that I have placed 3rd place with WPPI.  Why the heck can’t I at least get second? Oh well, maybe next year.  I also received Best In Category for my Dog Portrait and a “Judges Choice” award (for the same image) at the recent Professional Photographers Of Saskatchewan Convention (no, not Ontario, don’t ask).  Next up is Nationals at the PPOC Convention in Banff this month.  I will keep you posted on the results.

With the overwhelming response we have had to our previous pet events and the amount of phone calls and emails in regards to our iguana photography, we have decide to open up a special event for all you reptile lizard lovers.  LOVE YOUR LIZARD day is coming this Spring and we are totally stoked on what we have to offer.  We only have 20 slots available and we have already booked 7 of them without even advertising this event.  We will photograph your lizard individually and of course with you or your loved ones.  NOTE: We use the most flattering light on your lizard and have also purchased a new Lizard-EYE Lens specifically for this event (Like the fish-eye lens only there is a new UV coating on the lens as reptiles are cold blooded)

FOR ALL THE SCALY DETAILS PLEASE CLICK HERE AND BOOK YOUR SESSION.
