JAMES HODGINS PHOTOGRAPHY

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.

Nuff Said.

What a way to spend a Thursday!!!! Cherish & Clint wanted to get married on the day they met which was July 28th, so………………they did.  Now that we are finished it actually feels like it’s Saturday hahaha.  Clint showed up this morning sp0rting his VERY shiny, extra detailed, badass truck (Dayum, that truck looked good) along with a million dollar smile.  The girls were “Pretty In Pink”, looked hot, and were all laughs and smiles during their session and fortunately the weather was great with overcast skies and a slight breeze.  From Azilda to Timberwolf we covered a lot of ground creating kickbutt images all the way.  With dust covered trails we bolted down the course with our offroading golf carts (only loosing one groomsmen during a sharp corner) searching out the best holes for the wedding party to strike a pose.

We had a blast today with loads of fun and laughter.  Cherish & Clint were awesome and the bridal party was entertaining and energetic.  Thanks again everyone for making this wedding FUN!  We truly enjoyed ourselves.

When Chantal came in for her consultation she knew exactly what she wanted for her maternity session photos.  This made my job a lot easier and the session flew by quickly.  So quickly that her husband and I rarely had a chance to talk fishing LOL.   Although we did wackload (that’s my word) of images, I find I am always drawn to this pose.  Thanks Chantal & Shawn allowing Joce and I to capture this precious moment in your lives.

Working with Dave Cooper at www.ttccreative.com today I asked about the images I created in Sioux Lookout for a book that was being created of the new Court House.  Unfortunately their client didn’t  go ahead with the book and thus my images were not used.  This did make me think about finding how and where my images were being used via the TTC company as I have done many shoots for them in the past few years.

Here are a few companies that TTC Creative has done the Branding and Promotional Material for where some of my images have been used.

The Sudbury Star

Atlas Copco

WARNING: The Photography You are Using Could Be doing More Harm Than GOOD! It’s true. People perceive and make snap judgments based on the images you show them.  It’s not fair, and not accurate, but it’s a fact. Why Would Anyone Want To Send A Message That Says Low Quality, Snap Shot And Sub-Standard?  I see this day in and day out, in the malls, on billboards, websites even facebook.  I guarantee that some people will look at your company with  a different point of view.  You can have the most amazing building  but if the washroom is dirty, cluttered and just doesn’t look inviting, it will reflect on the rest of the building.The same thing applies to the images you use for your marketing and promotions.

But alas, you need not worry, because I am here to save the day Dun Dun DAAAAAAA!!!!!  For the month of April James Hodgins Photography is offering a Business Photography FACE LIFT Special for only $499.  Check out all the details on this special event on the FACE LIFT PROMO PAGE.  If you have any questions, just give us a shout or email.

When photographing families I love it when the kids are just ………… well………..kids.  Sometimes when they have had enough they will let you know, and although the parents are more concerned on “getting the best portrait” they will quickly realize that sometimes the best portraits are the ones that you just can’t control.    Happy Birthday Dana!!
