"Oh Brother" This image was one of many from this session with two brothers. It always makes me laugh when I see it.
	"The Weiners" This was the result of a great session with two adorable dogs. I just couldn't resist the pun when I called it "The Weiners". The judges thought it was a "weiner" too!

 

These two Images were Accepted into the Professional Photographers of Canada 2008 Image Competition

"Intensity" Roger created this portrait of Morgan (our Goldendoodle) on his first birthday. How did we get that intense look? Lianne had a cookie behind the main light. (Ah, anything for food!)

"Spring Rush" This pictorial image was taken at the five-span bridge in Pakenham. To capture the rushing flow of the water, Roger used a slow shutter speed (1/4 sec) to allow the moving water to blur and to heighten the illusion of speed. The detail of the stonework was further enhanced by applying a watercolour style texture. Photographic prints of this image including the mat are available for $95.00

WINNER!
AWARD OF EXCELLENCE

The Judges Agreed!

"GET ME TO THE CHURCH ON TIME" was awarded a coveted Award of Excellence by the judges at the Professional Photographers of Canada National Print Competition in August 2002

We created this image for Menno Spijker and Lynne Richer on their wedding day in September 2001. The bride and groom are avid cyclists, in fact, they cycled for six weeks for their honeymoon, so this photograph has very special meaning for them. Plus there's a great story that goes along with it. Click here for all the details.
