I’ve started a personal project. While I can’t really tell you what it is yet, I can tell you that Nicole is involved. After we were done with the project images, we went for a walk at my favorite park in town. I decided to play a bit with this set in my processing. Sometimes photographers struggle to find their processing groove and keeping things consistent. I’m no different and struggle with this every shoot. I do however feel that I’m becoming more consistent with my light, camera and processing, I do feel the draw to try new things. Feel free to tell me what you think of this set in the comments, all comments are welcome.

For the past 2 years we have run a contest where we gave away a portrait session. This year will be no different as we love getting out and meeting people. In the past we have asked for likes or other things from you in order to enter. We have decided not to ask for things like that this time around.

This time we want you to send us your ideas for a creative portrait session and throughout the year as our calendar allows we will be contacting a select few to set up sessions. So whether you have the best location, most outrageous props, funkiest wardrobe we want to hear it all.

If you are a couple, a high school senior, actor, musician, pregnant, want to trash your dress , etc. we want to hear from you. The beauty is there is no idea that isn’t worth sending our way; so just do it!

Plain and simple just send us your ideas for a portrait session. We will select entrants throughout the year for a free session. Ideas must be submitted by February 15^th 2012 so on your mark, get set and write! Send your ideas by email to info@brawns.ca.

Theresa and I will read the entries and will make a decision together. Some limitations may apply, such as availability & location, but don’t let that discourage you from writing us.

It’s funny that I write about clients and their connections all the time, however when it comes to my own sisters engagement photos, I draw a blank. Maybe it’s because I have too many things to say. We are looking forward to getting some more done when the weather warms up a bit as shooting in December can be quite cold. I guess that just means lots of cuddling! Theresa and I are so excited for their wedding next summer that we are trying our very best to not take over the planning. Rather than blather on about how happy we are for Tiffany and Randy, we will just let the photos talk.

Just a quick one from a recent session. He has huge heart and she has an infectious smile and laugh.
