Christmas Time is Coming!

We have been doing some Christmas pictures lately, and have quite a few more to do in the upcoming month. I know some people were wondering if we could have "Christmas backdrops" or why we didn't have any already and what not. Well, to tell you the truth....I'm "anti" those kind of things. I take pride in the fact that I am a very contemporary photographer, and as such I try to be as modern as possible. I always say that being a photographer is the same as being a hairdresser. If you are still cutting hair in the same way as people did in the 80s, then you won't have much success in the present. Well the same thing is true for photography....if you still take pictures like people did in the 80s (and even most of the 90s) then you really won't(shouldn't) have much success. We decided to go with neutral colour backdrops and accent them with colourful (but tasteful) Christmas props. This gave our customers the option of setting their own stage so to speak, and enabled us to have very natural shots that aren't cliche or outdated.

Below are a few samples of some Christmas styles we offer.


New Lens!

My new lens finally arrived. It is a Canon EF 70-200 2.8 L USM.....basically that means it is great....one of the best in the world actually. The thing retails for $1500, but I landed a great deal and got it for much less.

Here is a quick snapshot showing the difference between the two lens. The black lens is my old telephoto lens..the white one is my new one!
