Sugarbush = Springtime

Spring is right around the corner which means it's time for a trip to the Sugarbush for some Maple Syrup and Pancakes.  I participated in a Photo Workshop hosted by Alain Simard at Foulton's Pancake House and Sugarbush.   http://www.fultons.ca and got some wonderful pictures of our outdoor adventure.

The weather was a little cold so the sap was only running on certain trees that were in the sun.  The old tree behind the cooking shed was one of the few trees with the sap running.
Our Workshop included a sleigh ride into the Sugarbush.  Beautiful!

The horses hard at work.

We had breakfast before our Workshop. (Pancakes, Sausages and Maple Syrup ofcourse)  Very yummy.  To complete our day, we got to sample some Maple Taffy.

This is the Old Elephant Tree that is found on the yellow trail.  Thanks to Alain for lending me his coat so I could lie on the ground and get this shot.

Janice and her Baby Bump

I had a great opportunity on Saturday, March 5th to take baby bump photo's of my friend Janice and her future little bundle.  She's due with her first baby, a little girl,  in April.  This was my first attempt at doing baby bump pictures and thanks to the help of my friend Alain (www.alainsimardphotography.ca) who provided me with the studio space and assistance, I think I caught some excellent moments with Janice and her little bundle.


Janice and Baby Bump
Janice needed a little assistance at first to bring out that smile.  Thanks to Alain`s dancing and singing dog, Janice was giving us a great belly laugh.

A lovely picture of Janice`s Baby Bump.

What Janice didn't know is that we were out taking her baby bump photo's, her Mom and best friend Stephanie were preparing for her surprise Baby Shower at her house.  My part of the plan was to keep her out of the house until at least 1:00 PM and then bring her in for her surprise.  It all worked perfectly and Mommy to Be had a great overall day.



Thanks Janice for the great day and letting me part of this special time with you. I can`t wait to meet your little bundle and hopefully do more baby photos when she arrives.  Congratulations!!!

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.
