Fun Shoes

I totally love Fluvog shoes. My friend has about 20 pairs. I can't believe how much they cost. They are great props for weddings. My bride this week will be wearing 3 different pairs. Can't wait to shoot the shoes. I love them.!!!

I LOVE THIS!!!!! (should include a link and the info about the original photographer)

I totally love the vintage look. I wish I had taken this photo. I'm not even a fan of black and white but this photo totally does it for me. I love the textured look of the old cement stairs and the old window against the building. Did I mention I wish I had taken this photo. I don't even know where this location is but I'm totally going to try and replicate it the next chance I get. I think the old church down the street would work. I might need to collect some props. My Uncle should have some old  windows and stuff in his old basement. Now enough about the location... Check out her hair piece. I LOVE everything about this bride's look!!!

Can I get some cooperation?

This is Luna. Also known as in our house as "the fluffy white monster". She really isn't a monster. I don't even remember how we started calling her that. Mark and I got in the habit of calling her all sorts of silly names. The only thing I can think of is that it had something to do with her shedding - which she does A LOT! This photo was taken on my point and shoot and is a great example of how Luna feels about the car. SHE WON"T GET OUT! It really gets to be a chore to go in the house when we come home from anywhere.

Uncle Tom's Paint Shop ( you should post 3 photos of your location)

This weekend I'm doing and engagement shoot for a couple who wants to use a really bright and colorful background. No trees. No water. Just a bright color backdrop. I thought it would be a real challenge until I remembered Uncle Tom's Paint Shop down on Avenue Road in Oakville. The store is an old house painted a bunch of different colours. We won't even need to change locations.  I went down this afternoon to see if it would work and now I'm totally pumped. I can't wait to show my couple this cool location. I'm sure they will love it. I think I might try and talk them into doing some shots against the iron gate also. Can't wait till Saturday. I sure hope it doesn't rain!

veggies anyone? ( post 3 photos you have taken)

I've got this really cool couple who wants to do something totally different for their wedding photos. It turns out that they met in a grocery store late at night when they were both midnight shopping. Over the cabbage and carrots a little flirtation began and he asked her out.  So it was no surprise when he got down on one knee in the produce section nine months later. Of course she said yes. Now they want me to shoot their wedding photos in that same spot. They've already made arrangements with the grocery store for us to go in all dressed up on wedding day. Now it is just up to me to make the photos look REALLY cool. Good luck to me. LOL!  So today I went to Whole Foods to scout out some produce and get some fun ideas. Here is a photo I shot just to see if it could work. Not bad. Can you imagine a Bride and Groom here next to the celery?

I found this wedding photo on google images on Doe Deere's blog. I'm sure a grocery store wedding would turn a few heads. I just hope the floor is clean.
