2012 – This one’s on us Contest

Spencer — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 05:48:57 +0000

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.

Tiffany and Randy – Engaged

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.

Shanda and Andrew

Shanda and Andrew, you’re too cute for words. I had a blast shooting this with you two and I’m stoked you chose us to shoot your engagement session. Here are the photos, enjoy!

Kristi and Kyle – Engaged!

We were pleasantly surprised when Kristi and Kyle decided to do an engagement session with the intention to build a custom guest book for their wedding. During these sessions we like to primarily focus on why they are getting married in the first place, their love! Shooting these sessions also gives us a chance to get to know each other, warm up to the camera and helps them to learn how to decipher my confusing directions. We are quite excited to shoot their wedding later this summer.

Thanks to Modern Cafe for letting us re-arrange their patio.
