the sweet mack: cd and promos (post 3/3)

last band post!
although they might be back on here shortly as i am shooting two shows next week as a part of their mini ontario tour.

1) the final product! a lot of work and time has gone into creating this baby, and here she is. artwork by moi, design work by leanne elizabeth
plus, now its available on iTunes! its pretty rad to have my work on there. you should check it out- its a fantastic album!
(this copy looks a little beat up because i've been toting it around in my purse for the last month!)

2) a fun poster/site background i made using various head shots from the past few months. might make an appearance on a t-shirt in the near future...

3) recent promos

enjoy!

the sweet mack: head shots (post 2/3)

this is the second (of three) blog posts dedicated to this band.

we did these head shots over the weekend for their website (which should be up and running soon!) and other promo items. we've been shooting a lot lately!

i shot these using the nikon 85mm PC-E lens, and let me tell you, i love love love this lens. it can be difficult shooting portraits with it because it is manual focus and the tilt i used creates such shallow depth of field, but with steady hands (or a tripod, ideally) you can get what you need.

enjoy!

amelina: a few more

finally about to deliver these newborn shots....here are a few more, continued from the sneak peak. i especially love the shots we did of ranin holding amelina...they have a soft and warm feeling to them, and ranin looks stunning in them.

enjoy!

baby amelina

so i'm already posting a sneak peak even though i said i wouldn't do it anymore!
however, these photos are a bit different- i tried something new this time around, esp with the post work.
when i looked at these shots after i got home from the shoot, i realized that they reminded me of a baby in the womb, so i tried to kind of emulate that with the colours (pretty obvi). amelina was so comfy in there, regardless of how nervous her mother was while we were shooting it. it must have been like going home!

hope you like them!

holiday wrap up...its not late, i swear!

so this post may seem like it should have been written a week ago... but for most, today was the official 'back to work day' (me included) so i tried to stretch the holidays out until 6am this morning (and staying up late watching curb your enthusiasm didn't help my cause).

so here it is, a short post of photos basically summing up what my holidays were all about (sans photos of my family sitting around for countless hours talking, eating and drinking).

p.s. check back for a recent newborn shoot and the cutest puppy you have ever seen (promise!)

enjoy!

1. Q turned one! i can't believe its been a year since we did her newborn photos. i feel like i have grown and gotten a lot better since then. here are a few from the 1st birthday party and a book i made for her for christmas.







2. this kitten hardly left my room for 10 days. still mad at leanne for taking zoe back to ottawa! kitten theft aside, you should check our her awesome site that she designed herself.
also played with some christmas tree bokeh.



3. was supposed to have an alternative to traditional stuffed turkey on christmas day, because i am not a fan (even though the 'alternative' just turned out to be a stuffed chicken with all of the usual sidedishes). instead, my family decided to spread bronchitis all over our house so the 5 kids had leftover Montfort's, and i did not complain once!
bought fresh rosemary for the chicken...you already know what happened there so instead i did some quick shots of it so it wouldn't go to waste!
