JAMES HODGINS PHOTOGRAPHY

While it’s raining and gloomy outside  I can’t help but think about the great summer we had photographing family portraits.  Most of our family sessions took place at peoples homes on the lake or at their cottages.    This summer we plan on creating more stunning outdoor family portraits for our clients and we can’t wait to start planning our summer season.  Already we are booking up the summer months so if your are interested your start thinking about it now, or betting yet give us a call so we can start planning.

Today I had the great privilege of photographing  Louis L’Allier PhD  Associate Professor, Classical Studios at Laurentian University.  Louis needed a photograph of himself to grace the next cover of   www.avoslivres.ca/magazine.  He also wanted something for himself to use as his own bio pic on the back of his published books and works.    Louis picked a great room attached to the L.U’s Library that provided some great ambient light along with some warm incandescent backlight.  I opted to mix the ambient with some Off Camera Flash to create an image where Louis would “pop” out of the frame, but still have the background compliment the rest of the image without being distracted.  I’m not sure which image the magazine will use for their cover, but the below image is one that Louis and Myself liked for his own use.  The book in the portrait is a  very old (hundreds of years) Greek Book that is part of the Greek History Louis Loves and teaches.

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.

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

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.

The Cambrian College Girls Basketball team are looking to kick some ass next season!

We had a bigger belly contest the other day at our studio.  Natalie won.

Nuff Said.

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!
