Fall is the best time!

Went out to Ohara's Mill yesterday to photograph from amazing families. The fall colours were wonderful. Hope you enjoy seeing these Autumn portraits.

Expecting a baby

Personal stuff to chat about today

Hey there everyone,   For those of you that know me personally, you know that my father passed away last year from Cancer. The two years he battled had many ups and downs but none as bad as the very end when it came to his funeral. We had some trouble with the funeral home and how our/dad's wishes were to be followed out .  I launched a formal complaint against the funeral home. It has taken me  the year to get the Head Registar to get a hold of my case file and finally do something about it.    I have not found out what direction he is going , but I do know he has send the home a letter about some sort of changes/resolution for what happened.

Fingers crossed that they are held accountable for putting my father though what they did and for all the heart ache it has caused. I can't speak for anyone else but this year has been torture for me personally. Non stop reminder that although I tried to do right my my dad in every breath... sometimes things out of your control can make things go bad, very bad!  I want this dealt with. I haven't given  up as I feel that my father deserved me to make this right ( to the best of my ability).

Dad, everyday I think of you. I will continue until they are held accountable. Maybe then I will settle down emotionally and stop crying all the time.  I love you and will fight for what is right by you and our family till I cannot anymore.  xoxoxoo

Fall babies... Great colours and always wonderful props

Check out this little pumpkin, he is very tiny and fit just perfectly in this craft pumpkin for what his mother  and I think is  a very cute picture. Hope you like it too.

Outdoor sessions, enjoying the fall weather!

One of my fav places to take images is  Ohara's Mill in Madoc, Ontario. This pioneer village has so much to offer for photographers. Water, beautiful treed areas, old buildings and more.

Here are a few samples.

Photoshop can help with the seasons... change the leaves with ease.

Photoshop can be used to simply enhance leaves for a fall colour, or it can be used to completely change and image. The baby image below: the hat is completely changed , the blanket and leave colours. These small but amazing changes can make an image totally different. 

Glory of photoshop... want to learn, I am offering a class in Late October.

Just needed to share these images.
