Repeat clients are the best! - Children's photograper St. John's Newfoundland

Here is a repeat client session. They loved the images we did a couple of years ago for then-only daughter. Along comes new baby and new session. It is a wonderful to feel so valued. I hope they have 5 more babies and 5 more sessions!

Dad in this family has a car that he loves. The challenge was to create a new car image with the new son! New kid, same car. :D

2 years ago:





This year. I did a fish eye to keep it the same but different. Plus I'm on a circular fish eye kick. :)



This is so cute. I've said it before and I'll say it again: snack shots taken during a break are usually my faves from the whole session. This is no exception.



Chilling out and chatting.



Three generations! Babe is holding G'dads baby cup. Very special indeed.



Family: Zoom Zoom Zoom . . .

Old friends

A recent-ish session with some old long-lost friends. (they are down blow in my fish eye post as well).

It was great to see them in all their health and sucess and happiness. Of course, always nice to meet new babes.

A quiet little guy . . . who loved that toy whipper snipper. He took his job very seriously. :)

Fisheye Fun

In the thick of the fall portrait madness I took a trip to Nova Scotia. There was a large family gathering not to be missed.

While there I visited some old friends. Some old long lost friends. Some I have not seen in 10+ years. Like a lifetime and a blink all at once.

A few days into the trip I started taking these fisheye group shots so I could be in the photo. My only wish is that I didn't start from day one because there are some special people missing from this series!

I'll also include a few other fish eye fun shots from the family party. I have not even touched the colour film from that party. It might have to wait until the madness dies down . . .

Coo Chi Coo Contest!

So this session was the winning session from our latest draw at CooChiCoo. The prize was a free session with a framed 8x10 print. Thanks to Michelle at CooChiCoo for helping to fill out so many ballots.

It was a great winner with perfect timing with a new baby due only a few days later!

Here is a sneak peek for mom, since I have to postpone our proofing meeting to hop on a jet plane . ..


WIth proud big sister.



I love this. Baby getting to know mom. The look of love. :)







This dog trying to get through the cat door = funniest thing in a long time!!

Halifax sessions

I just wanted you all to know that I am currently booking sessions In
Halifax.

The following dates are available: Sept 28/29. The exact times will be
negotiated once all sessions are booked. I will be booking the slots until
Sept 18th.

All sessions completed in Halifax will have finished prints delivered in
time for Christmas. This is great news, because portraits are a perfect
Christmas present for those hard to buy for types. Consider a wonderful
portrait of all the cousins . . . if you can arrange that without Grandma
knowing about it it is guaranteed to be a great Christmas morning.

If there are any questions, e-mail donna@donnaramsay.com

Thanks, and please pass this along to anyone you think may be interested.

A few quick ones of mine

A few from a recent roll or two of my kids. I tend to take a lot of snapshots with the Holga camera. Sometimes even in colour! I'm considering starting to develop my own colour film. Not printing, too many variables, but I think I could handle the film part. My next order of darkroom supplies will likely include the gear and chemicals to try it. As I tell the kids . . . the first step to doing is trying!

Nanny is a rower at the regatta. Go Nanny! Nanny didn't win, but not for lack of effort!



Another from the Regatta. Uncle was happy to spin her around and around . . . and around.





Boy distracted by baseball. We were on our way to the swings but never made it.



First day of school. Guess the grades!



The best big sisters let baby brothers ride their bikes.



Lastly . . . me 4am at a recent birth. Excuse the out of focus. I didn't take the picture!
