Pre-Graduation

I was given the honour to take some pre-graduation pictures for a group of grade 8 girls.  They all looked gorgeous!!  However, the weather, was not on our side this day.  The rain held off just in time for us to start shooting and then it poured.  Now when I say it poured, most people picture heavy rain and maybe the odd bang of thunder or lightening.  But this was no heavy rain!  It was Mother Nature pouring out her entire was basin from her dirty laundry that she had to air out.  It rained so hard that we even called the shoot off 40 minutes into it.  But needles to say the girls escaped with very minimal damage to their outfits.  I on the other hand, hand to go home immediately to change.  My shoes took three days to dry out.  Now that folks, was a shoot in awful weather that I will never forget.

The pictures that I did manage to take, turned out great!  And yes..... these girls are only 12/13.  Good luck to their parents in just a few years.  Watch out boys, these are already good looking heart breakers.

Getting to Know Mrs. Markle

I thought it would be fun to do a little interview with someone, about their ideas and photography ideas.  What images they remember and feature them on my blog.

I've known Amy, for just over four years now and have always admired how she always looks so put together in all her pictures she posts.  So it's great to hear her thoughts on pictures she has taken and also pictures that have been taken of her and her family.  As my blog guest, I  asked Amy fifteen different questions about photography.

E:  Have you ever taken a picture of food?  If so, what was it and why did you take it?A: I took at picture if my yummy poutine and drink at south street burger. It was to tease my pregnant sister

E: Have you ever taken a picture of someone famous?  If yes, who and do you still have the picture?
A: I took a picture of Jeff Daniels and yes I have the picture still

E: What was the first picture you ever took, using your current cell phone and do you still have the picture saved on the phone?
A: I am not sure exactly what picture I took but I know it was one if my daughter and yes I would still have it. 

E: Have you ever hired a photographer in the past?  Explain why you picked that person.
A: Yes. I hired a photographer to do my maternity pictures and pictures of my kids. I picked this photographer for their prices.

E: If you have hired a photographer previously, what was one thing that stood out to you when they were shooting?
A: No clue 

E: You wouldn't ever wanted to be photographed doing?
A: Eating or sleeping

E: You wouldn't be caught dead in what kind of picture?
A: Nude

E: What is one picture that sticks out in your mind as the best photograph you have ever taken?  What type of camera did you use?
A: A pic of my niece and nephew sitting in a field of dandelions. I used my canon cool shot (I think that is what it is called)

E: The last family picture you have taken was?  What would you change about it?
A: Last family pic was one of my maternity pictures. I wouldn't change a thing

E: Take a picture of what is currently in your purse or pockets and then describe it to me and include it with your response.

A: Full of diapers, Kleenex, my wallet and soothers. Lol. I don't know how to attach a pic. Lol

E: Have you ever had your picture taken by higher authority?  If so, did you have a copy of your mug shot?
A: No

E: When you see people taking tourist pictures, what is something that stands out to you?  Is it a positive or a negative?
A: How many random people will be on their pic. Or how they hold up a crowd just so they can get a perfect picture 

E: The last picture you had printed was?
A: Pictures of my kids

E: If you could describe the perfect family photo, what would it be like?
A: Outside on a beautiful summer day in a natural pose 

E: If you could have your photo taken with just one person, alive, dead or even famous, who would it be and why?
A: My grandpa. Because he isn't with us anymore, and it would be a great keepsake and memory

Thank you for participating in my mini interview Amy.  On behalf of Corcoran Photography, I would like to offer you a free mini session, to be able to capture your 'perfect family photo,' in a 'natural pose.'

Please contact me directly to arrange this.

Thing 1 & Thing 2

I had the pleasure of working with Carolina & Jerry at the beginning of July, for their maternity photo session.  They are having TWIN BOYS.  Oh Boy, I say;)

I am always so HAPPY when my maternity clients choose a natural outdoor setting - - and I love the beach as it truly does represent summer.  I was even more excited when they showed up and were game for anything!  We hit it off from the start and they are just the cutest soon-to-be-parents!  Here are some sneak peak pictures that I promised to post for Carolina.  I can't post all of them as I have included the names of the boys in a lot of the pictures and have been sworn to secrecy.  But, once Carolina and Jerry see the additional photos, I am sure they will love them!  I have also included a little video too;)
