JAMES HODGINS PHOTOGRAPHY

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

Trying some different poses for babies lately and I’m really liking the “Keep It Simple Stupid” format.  We have never been big on props, basically because we don’t have the room to store them in our studio haha, that and the fact that we are not a Baby Specialty Studio (check out www.westmountphotography.com for the best Baby Portraits), but when our clients do bring us their loved ones, we go all out in trying to create those moody, eye catching images, especially in B&W.

Taylor is coming in for another viewing tomorrow, so while prepping the images, I figured I would blog one more.

Boy did it rain that day, buckets and buckets.  We got a little wet, but when you are having fun a little rain doesn’t hurt.

down memory lane that is.  Recently we had one of my previous brides come in and order more images from their wedding.  I photographed Jason & Sylvie Tripp back in 2005 where we did all the formal images before the ceremony.  Back then the Bell Mansion was a beautiful place to photograph weddings and they were pretty well booked every weekend.  I remember there being 6 photographers with wedding parties on the grounds photographing and we would all rotate around mansion picking our spots.  I went through the whole wedding again and remembered the day all over.  I thought I would snag a few images and post them here to share with you.  Enjoy.

Actually it wasn’t a “day” at all,  more like Cat 2 minutes and 7 seconds.  Joce and I decided to brave the odds and get our two furballs into the studio and update their portrait.  The last time I did this was about 8 years ago and we figured since the one cat “Bogen” is getting up there in age, we might as well do it now before it’s too late.  What a pure joy it was to get these two to sit still for the camera.  Purring & talking, scratching and hissing.  Oh the wonderful joys of photographing felines.  I so look forward to when we officially launch “Cat Day” at the studio.  FYI – Cat Day will be held at James Hodgins Photography when hell freezes over and turns into one giant litter box.

Out of the dozen or so images I snapped we did manage to get two that pretty well portrays our kitties.  They will now be memorialized with 30 inch vertical canvas prints in our home.  We are really glad we managed to get this done, as it will make us  appreciate the time we still have with them both, as their lives almost came to a sudden end earlier today.

“Bogen -  the old guy”

“Balou – the talker”

Here is a Happy New Year Video for you.
