A Shot of Life

The bazaar was a great success!  Thank you to everyone who stopped by my booth, picked up a business card and chatted!

A very special thank you to those who have booked a session and helped to benefit JKCS as a result!

WOW Spring is going to be a busy time!

There is a lot of fun and exciting sessions coming up!  Keep following my blog for peaks at these sessions!  Look for familiar faces or ideas you and your family would love to incorporate into your session!  Send an email (dawn@ashotoflife.ca) or call 519-913-0925 anytime to book a session or ask a question!!!

Have you ever hired a photographer and left the pictures on the CD?  What a waste!

I thought that it would be helpful for future clients to ‘visualize’ the possibilities and options for their images!!

Have a look at these fun and exciting products!!!

Can you believe that the group picture on the top shelf & bottom right is an 11×14?

The three pictures on the bottom shelf (bottom left) are 5×7s.

Notice that they are not all the same orientation!!  This is a great mix of  pictures; vintage and up to date as well as some collectibles!

Balanced, fun and interesting!

This is a grouping of 4-11×14’s.  They were converted to black and white to give them a ‘theme’.  Each picture was taken in a different season and they didn’t have a matching ‘feel’ to them until we converted to b&w.

These pictures are mounted on Sintra and sprayed with a lamination coating to protect.  There is no need to frame them, but you could if you wanted and leave the glass out of the frame or keep it in.  Very versatile and able to move around the home later on!

The FAMILY lettering is courtesy of Stampin’ UP! If you are looking for some Stampin’ UP products I know of two excellent ladies in the area that could help you out. Please send me an email!

A gorgeous canvas!

My #1 favorite product!

So timeless and the quality is amazing!

Enough said!

The big piece here is a plaque mounted 20″x30″ and the four smaller prints are 8×10’s.  We designed the ’story board’ this way keeping in mind that in the future the clients may wish to place the prints on separate walls.

It is highly durable with a protective coating.  This can be printed from edge to edge or we can design a ‘matte’ as pictured above.

I adore this family picture…the interaction between the kids and the lighting were all working in my favour!

This was a fun project because I watched all this art work leave my home, but I have not seen it up on the walls!!

Thank you to my clients for allowing me back in your homes, and for allowing me to ’steal’ a couple of pieces for the bazaar display this weekend!!

sleepy little guy…with a huge bruise on his head…and some freckles on his nose…my little guy-is getting TOO BIG!

Here is my ‘entry’ for the “animal theme” picture of the week!!

A fresh new heifer calf!!!

Friends for LIFE!

This was a very cool last minute session!  I wish I had more prep time..but I think its sooo awesome that we captured a few pictures of these sisters!  Due one month apart…One is on her first, the other on her 4th!

Congrat’s girls!  Hope the next month (and beyond) goes well for you!!  I enjoyed the chance to capture some memories!!!

A sweet four day old baby girl!!

Thank you for calling so quickly to arrange your session!  It was wonderful working with such a young baby so precious and sweet!

I was happy when she told me everything was “A-OK”!

I am still working through the editing!  I’ll send a note as soon as your gallery has been completed!

I’ve begun a weekly theme challenge!  Although this is only my 2nd week, I am following the weeks with some of my friends so I am jumping ahead to week 10!

After weeks of overcast skies it was so nice to see a bright sunshine and blue skies!!

C & K it was great to meet up with you again!

Enjoy!

(on a side note: this is my entry for ‘theme of the week’~soft)

A beautiful bundle of blue perfection!  Baby ‘L’ was perfect for our photography session!  I would have loved for some deep sleep pictures, but he slept almost the whole day and night before! (lucky mom!)  Either way, we were able to capture some awesome pictures!

Thanks for visiting D & M!  I will have your gallery ready with in a week!

Enjoy your ’sneak peak’!
