Stacie + Chris Sitting in a Tree.....

Right from the first email I received from Stacie a couple of months back, I knew I would like her. She was bubbling over with enthusiasm and energy. I was right.

Stacie and her boyfriend Chris made the trek from Lindsay (over an hour away) in a thunderstorm to have their photos taken. Thank the Lord the rain let up just long enough for us to walk around downtown Barrie and take these shots.

When the sky started looking pretty black, we headed into the MacLaren Art Centre to finish the shoot. Even though Mother Nature tested us, we got it done and they look great!

Chris and Stacie are so cute together and they were having so much fun goofing off. I had way too much fun with them. I hope to see them again soon.

Stacie is a photographer as well, and I was so honoured she asked L'il Ole me to take her pictures. Check out her stuff at http://www.staciefosterphotography.com/

Enjoy!!

A good example of how a mistake can make a great image. My flash didn't go off, and thankfully Stacie suggested we keep it. I'm glad we did.

I LOVE Stacie's cool umbrella. I have to get one!

I love how Chris is looking at her. They are really in love.

Stacie + Chris Teaser!

Don't you just love a couple who laughs together, acts like goofs together, yet you can tell the whole time just how madly in love with each other they are? That's Stacie and Chris! They were the best!

Gentlemen, you can learn a few things from Chris....he does anything you ask of him. He never thought anything I asked him to do was silly (although, secretly I thought it was). These two are a blast.

Stacie is a photographer herself, so I was so honoured when she emailed me months ago to set up the shoot. They made the trek from Lindsay in a thunderstorm just for the shoot and thank God Mother Nature allowed us a good 40 minutes without rain so we could capture some great outdoor shots.

I'll post more later, I promise. But for now, enjoy one of my favourite shots from the shoot.

Ryan Jeffries....the model.

Look at his face....look at it real closely. Remember it. He's going to be big some day.

A few months ago my cousin Ryan called me up and said he was doing a bit of modelling and asked if I could take some headshots of him. Knowing Ryan my entire life, I wasn't surprised that he would be going into modelling and commercial acting. He's always been very handsome, outgoing and has this way of attracting attention. He was a world-class horseman and is still doing work with horses, but I see him in catalogues, on tv, you name it.

This weekend Ryan was my first client for the photo marathon. We were blessed with amazing early morning sunshine. Here are a few shots from the shoot: (keep in mind, this is the first time I've ever attempted to do headshots!)

I fell in love with this white wall with all the paint peeling off of it. You'll see that I used it a lot during the rest of the shoots.

We had to get a few shots of Ryan and his girlfriend Sam. She's also doing a bit of modelling....can you tell? She's rocking the poses! They make a really cute couple!

Lots more to come. We had 10 sessions on Friday. Whew! That's a lot of photos! I'm so excited to share them with you.

Happy Easter!
