Had lots of fun shooting Headshots for my mother today. She is swapping headshots with another Artist friend so they can paint each other for a class at Gallery 67. The OAA or Oshawa Art Association puts on great classes at reasonable prices. www.oshawaartassociation.com for more information.
Black and White Headshot
I found this Headshot to be very personal. These are the eyes that I have to explain why I do the silly and sometimes questionable things I do. Be very Afraid.

Berkeley Fieldhouse
Mike and Nadine were married last October on what was the last best weather day of October. The sun was shining, the weather was warm and everybody was smiling. This couple was described in a speech by a friend as the most caring, generous and loving couple. They truly do care about their family and friends, and this wedding was a real honour to be a part of. They say we choose friends who are a little bit like us or resemble us in some way. Well, imaging the group I was blessed to be around with this couple being the most caring individuals ever!
I have described this wedding to my family and friends as the wedding I want to shoot for the rest of my career.
Great people, amazing couple, style, stunning dress and details, fun and exciting location at Berkeley Fieldhouse, www.berkeleyevents.com and the best hands down bread dance.
During the cocktails I was speaking with another couple who's wedding I shot the year previous, and I told them, "You are my favourite couple," because up until that point they really were my favourite couple. To which they replied, "I don't know, you may just have a new favourite!" (referring to Mike and Nadine) All I can say with certainty is that I have the best clients!
Lets talk about the venue, Berkeley Fieldhouse. AMAZING! There is an upstairs 1950's style dressing room (my year approximation may be off) red walls, mirrors with lights. White painted bricks and barn board like walls. Great doorways with chipping paint (it's a photographer thing). Let's not forget a babbling brook, a tree house, retro style hanging lights under a canopy. Did I miss anything, oh ya, the front entrance with modern line backdrop. Love this venue, it was my first and hopefully not last time shooting here, and there are so many possibilities. Also a retro camper!! The venue is right beside Berkeley Church, another great location.
The styling of the event was from one of Nadine's acquaintances and phenomenal job. Really enjoyed all the little touches, the style was so perfect for the couple.
Enough babbling, love this wedding, if you are a fun and caring couple like Mike and Nadine, consider hiring me, I'd be honoured to be a part of another wonderful wedding.

Candid Family Portraits
Here is my best friend in the whole world's family. I'm sure that grammar is improper and she is a teacher and will scold me for that! I love taking pictures of Ben. He is such a character, and I'm sure with his influence baby Oliver will be nothing short of a funny man too. I'm always struggling with the rules of photography and portraiture when it comes to making nice pictures of families. As a photographer people assume I can make their babies smile, or children laugh, to which I often say, I'm not a clown! But I do have a few tricks up my sleeve. And the best trick is making the parents work for that smile. You know the funny things that your kids laugh at hysterically right? Well, as you can see, Ben thinks his Dad's jokes are the bee's knees.
So here you go world, non traditional family portraits. Simple, candid, and downright beautiful if I do say so myself.
Save the Date
I have wanted to write about this day for quite some time. This wedding occurred quite by accident and fate definitely had some part. It's kind of a long story! Arn't they all? It goes like this...
My long time friend from high school phones me at midnight on a Friday. My immediate thoughts are "are you drunk calling me?'
No. He goes on to tell me that he needs my help to shoot this wedding for his close friends the next day. Crazy right. I reluctantly agreed, not knowing what I was getting into. My thoughts remained on his words, "please, you'll save the day Heather, please!"
I tried to sleep that night to have a fresh head for the morning travel, and shoot the next day. I had some trouble as you may imagine. However I did arrive, and met my friend who introduced me to Colleen. She was so happy to meet me and I knew instantly that this was going to be a great day. The wedding was beautiful. I know every photographer says this, but it was. The couple Adam and Colleen were so easy to work for. Their love for each other was quiet through the day, but you could see and feel the intense emotion. Their family and friends were so grateful that I could help them out and capture the day for them. Almost all of the family and quite a few friends personally thanked me for coming on such short notice, and "saving the day."
The venue was Asbury Hall and it is absolutely stunning. The venue is owned by Righteous Babe Music or Ani Difranco, who I'm told bought the venue to save it from being torn down. Ani Difranco's music was a soundtrack for the end of high school for me, so this was another twist of fate saying "ha ha, knew you'd be here" The basement of the venue has old posters and concert stuff from Ani, very cool to any fan. The architecture, buildings and alleys of the area provided a great backdrop for the after ceremony shoot.
The party was GREAT. Mikey did a fantastic job of keeping everyone dancing and bringing true excitement to the party. I hope every DJ out there has the opportunity to be at an event with this man when he brings the party. He plays songs that I don't hear at every wedding. If I hear "Celebrate good times Come on" one more time at a wedding, I know it is because you are just not trying anymore. We are getting off topic here...
This is by far my favourite wedding of my career. It resonated with me in a way I can't describe. Sometimes life gives you a call in the middle of the night asking you to do something. I hope I get the opportunity to answer that call from fate again.
Thank you Mikey for believing in me.

Holland Marsh Wineries
This Wedding took place last fall and I wanted to share the images, (at last!)
I think this wedding incorporates all that is fall and with beautiful winery as our backdrop, what more can a photographer ask for. This couple kept me laughing all day, and as you can see by the last images, they had the last laugh. The bride is the sister to one of my besties and was simply stunning. I loved loved loved all the little details of rustic home made goodies and simple yet elegant decor. Holland Marsh Wineries did a fantastic job, and was a great place to shoot all of the wedding. The weather was a bit cool, but everyone toughed it out and we had a fantastic day.
Cheers to this happy couple and to the new addition to the family!
