Inge & Rory

As part of my mentorship with Christelle Rall, I have had some "homework" to do... and my married friends have all very kindly offered their time to brave the weather and play Happy Couples while I snap away, fiddle with camera settings, snap some more, make them sit-stand-pose and look in love.  I have great friends!  

Here are Inge & Rory... 

Evan, the Superhero - and his rockstar parents

Meet Evan, the Superhero... and an absolute charmer!  He definitely stole my heart by running up and giving me a big hug; what a cutie.  This shoot was an extra special one for me, being that Evan's mom, Sharon has been a friend since our varsity days - and this was my first time meeting her beautiful-crazy-fun family.  My heart literally beams with happiness for her... but enough waffling, here they are, the uber-awesome Kosina family...

Brave Bear

So I bought a new camera the other day and finally found a chance to play around with it; getting to know its various features and become more comfortable shooting in full manual.  Not wanting to waste anybody's time with my awkward fumbling and retaking of shots, I found a very willing, if unconventional model: meet Bear.  He may look a little grumpy, but is in fact a very sweet little keepsake from years ago.  Rather relieved to be allowed out of the chest, he was more than willing to pose, look pensive, enjoy the fresh air and even show how fearless he is... this is his photo-shoot.
