One-of-the-Forest: newborn shots

Newborn shoot are supposed to be 1.5 hrs…but always end up being about 3 hours.  I don’t know, I’m not a parent, is that bad of me?

The extra time always pays off though, always.

Welcome to the world little Man-of-the-Forest!

Animal Farm band shoot

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Last year I had a local-band photo shoot promo, offering a free photo shoot to local Hamilton bands.   I did 4 locals acts then, but wasn’t able to squeeze these guys in: Animal Farm.

I like spicing it up with different kinds of portraits and I like the creativity bands need for their photos–so it was a good combo and a fun shoot.

You can check out Animal Farm at www.facebook.com/pages/Animal-Farm/58156562581 or http://www.myspace.com/animalfarmsounds

If you like any of their influencing bands,

The Beatles, Radiohead, Neil Young, Rage Against the Machine, Muse, Silverchair, Queen

you should check them out.

This weekend I got to meet the winner of the boudoir contest from December–and I’m posting a few previews just because they’re so unique.

This boudoir shoot was unlike any I’ve done before–see for yourself.  I’ll have more to post in the next week or two.

And we’ll be sharing a little about the winner and her thoughts on the shoot in the coming days.

There’s still time to book your own boudoir photo shoot for you loved-one before Valentine’s Day!  Call or email me for prices and availability.


Give boudoir photos for Valentine’s Day!

Valentine’s Day is JUST around the corner!

If you’ve ever wanted to do boudoir photos, now is the time, just in time to give to your loved-one.   Hey men–give your lady a boudoir photo shoot gift certificate for the gift that keeps on giving to you both.

Or maybe you want to do something fun just for yourself?   Read the quote below from recent boudoir clients:

“I have to say that you are really good! The whole experience was a lot easier than I expected it to be and you really were able to make me feel comfortable throughout the whole process.”

-E.K.

“You seem beyond awesome and super excited about the shoot, so I’m feeling really comfortable and I think this might be the only time in my life where I’m comfortable getting photographed nude – so I’m going to go for it!!”

-S.S.

“WOW! Wooowwww!
You should be very VERY proud of your work Claire! I’m so excited how they turned out! I loved it!
Thank you soooo much! xo”
-K.J.

Boudoir shoots can be done anywhere (at home, hotel, friend’s house, the office..?), can include a stylist who will do your hair and make-up, and can be done as part of a Valentine’s Day Party for you and your single girlfriends! (Although, being single is not a prerequisite :)

I’ve had a lot of shoot lately that are a little too much over PG13, so I haven’t been able to post many shoots!

But last month I had a maternity shoot with a really lovely soon-to-be-mama, Steph, who should be going into labour ANY second!   Go Steph!

And I’ll be posting a lot more shoots in the coming days–a boudoir, a band shoot, and more!
