It’s back to work this week (well depends if it’s too cold to go out fishing or not) and we are gearing up for another great year. Revamping the studio, revamping our packages and revamping our clientele. Here is another one of Brittany. She will be coming in this week to choose her images so I will have more to show. I couldn’t help myself from posting another one. : ) This is with my homemade kitchen light from Home Depot.

All Lit Up For Christmas!

jameshodgins — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 22:27:31 +0000

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.

Practicing Sleeping For Xmas Eve.

This little one was practicing his sleeping techniques for Christmas Eve while he visited our studio today.

Stop and smell the roses.

Well there are no roses around here now, not even snow LOL. We slowed down this week so that we can visit some friends and family and I have my new point & shoot camera with me at all times now. Lumix GF2. It’s great to be able to grab a few scenery shots just for my own amusement. Here is one from yesterday of Duschenay Falls North Bay.

I haven’t done this in awhile!

Thursday was the last day for hunting Grouse (something I have gotten into this past year) and I decided to take my camera a long with me this time. It just finished raining which melted all the snow in the bush and I was amazed at how much green vegetation there was still on the ground. I snapped this quick shot with my new Lumix Point and Shoot camera and decided to play around in P.S for a bit. It reminds of something out of LOTR.

A Portrait Of Two Women.

jameshodgins — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 20:07:14 +0000

Here is a photograph I took while presenting a live webinar for Photography Schoolhouse on how to “pose” a female. Along with everything else “female” posing is just as hard to understand. It takes practice and when done correctly, should look natural and comfortable. You would never know that these to beautiful ladies just met a few minutes before I setup this shot.

Baby Got Back!

Nuff Said.

Fun With Rocks!

jameshodgins — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 00:26:09 +0000

How much fun can you have with rocks? Well, it’s something that we have all done at least once in our lifetime right? Especially if there are loads of ducks in the water. Haha just kidding!

I Couldn’t Eat Another Photograph!

jameshodgins — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 22:26:29 +0000

Today I was at Verdhiccio’s photographing some of their new menu items. Luckily I went there with an empty stomach as I couldn’t resist digging into each dish after I finished photographing them. Alejandro prepared some tantalizing dishes like the one homemade ravioli pictured below. If I had to choose a favorite dish I had today, it would be this and the fresh perch (images to come). Make sure you stop by the New Verdhiccio Restaurant and try out their kickass menu!

A Boy & His Dog

jameshodgins — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 19:32:46 +0000

I just couldn’t resit capturing a portrait of these two friends. Everyone who owns a pet know that they are more than that, they are our closest friends.

Kaltiainen Family Portrait

jameshodgins — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 23:12:27 +0000

Well we had the fortunate opportunity to photograph yet another portrait for the Kaltiainen family. Ahhh, seems just like yesterday that we were documenting their wedding, or photographing Natalie’s Maternity Session or creating a timeless portrait of their Newborn Baby, and now we can add their latest Family Portrait to the list. We headed out to Whitewater lake in Azilda hoping to get a few images with some leftover leaves. It was cold. Did I say it was cold? I meant it was COLD! But the kids were great, the parents were cool and we managed to capture some outstanding images for the Kaltiainen Family. I could have stayed and chatted to them for hours in the parking lot…………but it was cold. haha.

Natalie, Neil. Thank You again for letting us create this family portrait for you. It means a lot to us to have you as repeat clients.

Babies Can Wear Toe Rings Too!

jameshodgins — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 18:33:09 +0000

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.

Rockburst Exploding In Sudbury

jameshodgins — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 17:59:28 +0000

A couple of weeks ago we photographed the local band “Rockburst” in our downtown core. They needed a group image that they could use for promoting and marketing around town. We came up with this quick concept based on one of our family portraits we did a few years ago. I quickly threw this together (rough draft) using their logo’s concept for the image. I’ll keep you posted on the final edition.

Ramsey Lake Fall Family Portrait

jameshodgins — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 00:36:15 +0000

The warm sun faded fast over Ramsey Lake while we were photographing the Keenan’s family portrait a few hours ago and standing waist deep in the water didn’t warm things up either. Luckily this time I remembered to bring my hip waders in case I needed to go into the water……..which I did. It’s the small things we do to get the proper angle for the shot. Just like some of our previous family portraits with pets, I was jumping up and down, waving the arms, turkey calls and what not (I really need to videotape this), but in the end we got them to look at the camera. And also like our other family sessions, we had a blast with the kids. From throwing leaves in our faces to floating basketballs the Keenan kids got it going on, and we had a great time photographing them. Whenever we finish photographing a family like this, we get in our cars and say “That’s why we do it!” Thanks again Lisa & Scott for trusting us with your first family portrait! It’s very much appreciated.
