Teenagers Just Want To Have Fun!

A few weeks ago, I participated in a Natural Light Portraits workshop with Harry Nowell as part of my Pro Program Course and I wanted to get some additional practice so I mentioned this to my friend who said her daughter and her daughters friends would LOVE to do a photo shoot with me.  She was right and I had a few eager models to help me out.
On Sunday, January 30th, I hooked up with Taylor G, Taylor B and Karalee at the Carp Fairgrounds to try taking some portraits.  It was a beautiful, sunny day but it was still minus 13 out and the girls weren't really dressed for winter so we had to take a few breaks so they could thaw out in the car for a bit.
The girls were so much fun to photograph and the hour and a half we spent shooting just zoomed by.  I just dropped the CD's off for the girls and I really hope they enjoy the pictures.  I had a great time taking them.  I still have a lot to learn but this was a great experience and I have a few additional shots to add to my portfolio and the girls have a ton of pictures to post on Facebook. 
Below are a few of my favourite shots from our photo shoot.  Thanks again ladies.  It was a lot of fun and we'll have to do it again....when it's warmer outside!

Gene Simmons from KISS would be so proud!

A shy little smile and a great picture!


Awesome close up shot.

Having some fun in the park.


The girls in a great shot by the trees in the playground.

About Me

My photo
Ottawa, Canada
My family moved from Oakville, Ontario to Pembroke, Ontario in 1976 and from the moment I arrived in the little town of Pembroke my goal was to leave but with being 7 years old I had a number of years to wait. Attending Champlain High School and trying to decide my future, I was determined to go to Sheridan College in Oakville and take the Journalism Program there. I took a Co-op credit through High School and did my work experience at a local Pembroke weekly newspaper where they gave me a notepad, a pen, a camera and sent me out in the vast city of Pembroke. My favourite weekly task was to go to the local human society and take a picture of the Pet of Week. I actually loved my time working on the paper but the photography portion interested me more than the writing. My Journalism dreams didn’t happened but my love of photography carried with me but in the past few years I’ve started to become more and more interested in the technique of photography and in 2009 I received my first DSLR camera and have become a photography junkie. I’m hoping you enjoy following this blog and watch my love for photography grow with each posting.
