JAMES HODGINS PHOTOGRAPHY

This little guy had a smile that was contagious, his new outfit is the style of all styles, and with his GQ haircut & witty personality this guy was going places.

Jocelyne and myself would like to wish all of you a very safe and happy holiday.  We will see you in the New Year.

You probably won’t find this present under your Christmas tree but we did find her in our studio today Rocking this photography session!  It was so hard to pick  just one image to blog  since we captured loads of images today.  Brittany was a natural in front of the camera (as you can see) and I can’t wait to go through the rest of the session and start sharing more images with you all.

Darcie and Ryan brought their little bundle of joy “Tanner” into the studio this afternoon to create Tanner’s first portraits.  Darcie came prepared with ideas of photographs that she wanted to capture.  Below is one of them showcasing Tanner’s little feet sporting Darcie & Ryan’s wedding rings.

As you know, Taylor is one of our Senior Reps for this year and next.  Recently we surprised her with a 42 inch poster she can hang in her room. This is what she had to say.

“Thanks James and Joce soooo much!! I love my poster, it shows all the different things about me! I don`t know a senior who couldn’t`t want a memory like that!!  Cant wait til my next shoot!( Soon please I’m pumped) You guyyyys are the best:):)”

Senior photography is getting more and more popular here in Ontario.  For those of you Highschool Seniors who  are looking for something different to remember your highschool days you might want to look into having a Senior Portrait Session.

At least all the ones at the Sudbury SPCA on Notre Dame are.  We dropped off all the bags of dogfood, catfood, litter and milkbones (2 car loads) and all the donations as well.  They are OVERWHELMED with the support from all of you and our Dog Day Event.  Thanks again everyone!!  More images to follow.

The Dikran’s came into the studio today to have a family portrait created while they were all here in Sudbury over the Holidays.  I think the total time of photography took about 1/2 hr but the session lasted for well over 1.5 hrs due to the amount of gabbing we did.  It’s great when you can take the time to get to know your clients.  Jennifer & Stephen (back left) will be getting married this July in Burlington and let me tell you this wedding sounds AWESOME!!!    Thanks again everyone for making this session fun and relaxing, it was great getting to know you.

Well he’s not really a Teddy bear, but he sure was fluffy like one.  We just finished photographing Teddy’s SPCA portrait not 10 minutes ago here at the studio.  April adopted Teddy 3 weeks ago from the Sudbury SPCA (where Teddy has been vacationing for the past couple of days).  Even though Teddy is already 5 years April couldn’t resist those big bright eyes and that charming smile.  Thanks April for opening your heart and home to Teddy and thanks again for taking advantage of our Adopt A Pet Promotion.

Now that Chris, Kirsti and Aila have picked up their wall portraits for their home I can now post some more images from their family portraits session.  We love the fact that some of these images will be hanging on their walls for years to come, everytime they walk into a room they will remember their family at this moment.   If you are going to put some sort of art on your wall, why not make it a portrait of your family?

MAYBE, I should focus 4 feet in front of me.  I am in Edmonton on our NoBs Tour and Rob is speaking at the moment.  I am sitting here………my face hurts………..and my knee hurts even more (painfull to walk), but I am a tough cookie, and I will present in 2hrs like nothing happened.    I WISH I had video of this as it is freakin funny, but this one will have to do and if you use your imagination you can picture it actually happening.

Here is some more Hodgy Humour for ya. Monday morning when Rob and I were driving to T.O we stopped at the Petro/Starbucks in Parry Sound.  As Rob was pumping gas and I was reading he opens the door and says “Hey, there’s Bill!”.  I like up and sure enough Bill the Dj was just getting into his car.  I JUMPED out of the car and sprinted towards the car (sneakily).  Just as Bill was about to close the car door, I push it open yelling “GET THE $%&(@#%* OUT OF THE CAR!” with my imaginary “hand” gun.  Well Bill FLIPPED OUT………………because it wasn’t Bill.  I turn to see Rob peeing himself laughing.

Then, at about 3:30 am today I get up to use the bathroom.  Just as I was about to walk in Abbas was walking out (in his underroos).  I scream like a girl and say “Crap Abbas, you scared the bejesus out of me” and I look away (cuz he’s in his underroos) waiting for him to go by.  But he doesnt.  And I am getting uncomfortable.  Until I realize that it is my reflection in the bathroom door mirror. DUHHHHH!

That’s it for the moment.  Now I need to get heavily medicated.
