Newborn Black & White Portraits

Posted by jenniferklementti on July 8, 2008

Here are some beautiful Black & White portraits of a wee newborn that I photographed a while back here in the studio. Little M was such a delight to have here, and sooo cute! It’s amazing to see how much she has grown in a couple of months since her newborn portraits. Newborn portraits are very special, and always require much time, usually 3 hours in the studio, and patience as we are always working with the wee one’s schedule :) It is always such a pleasure for me to spend this time with the parents and their new baby!

In any case, here are a few of my favourite images from the portrait session.

We had a great time with you on your wedding day.

Lori & Chris’ wedding at Taboo Resort in Muskoka

Posted by jenniferklementti on June 14, 2008

A couple of weeks ago, we photographed Lori & Chris’ wedding up at Taboo Resort in Muskoka. I simply love Taboo, it is a beautiful destination for a wedding! Thank you to Nicole, Taboo’s wedding & special event planner, and the fabulous event management and staff who did a wonderful job at making this a truly beautiful event and day! Lori and Chris are such a fun couple, and we truly enjoyed getting to meet them and share in their wedding day. The day was all about family, friends and fun!

Here are a few colour images from the day…our black and white was shot with B&W film, and so we’re just uploading some of our digital images from the day…we’ll leave the B&W’s for a beautiful surprise for Lori & Chris when they pick up their proof album and Fine Art print from the day. :)

Thank you again, Lori & Chris, and congratulations to you both!

ExtraVeganZa - Original Recipes from Phoenix Organic Farm

Posted by jenniferklementti on June 14, 2008

When I was in photography school in Victoria, BC back in 2003, Casey & I met Laura Matthias, through a mutual friend. All of us lived in Fernwood, which is a fabulous community not far from the downtown core. Laura was working on a cookbook, to be later called “ExtraVeganZa - Original Recipes from Phoenix Organic Farm”, and so nearing the end of my school year we set up a day to photograph many of the recipes featured in her book. This was such a fun shoot, and the best part was that we were able to taste many of her fabulous creations! Anyway, her first printing of the book was in 2006. Why am I talking about this now? Well, we have been using this book over the past couple of years, and recently even more-so in an effort to eat a better diet! With recommendations from my naturopath to avoid cow dairy and move to a whole grain diet, I really  needed to make some serious changes to how I was preparing my meals. So now, instead of wheat flour, we are using spelt flour, and also learning about so many other ancient grains…

I have never even been a full vegetarian, and so I wasn’t really even aware of some of the amazing foods & tastes with a Vegan diet. Anyway, nowadays, I am so inspired by Laura & by this amazing cookbook, which I cook from all the time now. The recipes are easy to follow, very healthy and amazingly delicious!! I have never felt better! Thanks Laura!!!

ExtraVeganZa is available at http:/http://www.newsociety.com/bookid/3925 , if you want to check it out.

On a personal note..the lilacs in my yard are starting to bloom, and I couldn’t be happier! I absolutely love to garden, and am looking forward to digging in the dirt and adding to my landscape design this spring and summer.

Cheers, and we look forward to seeing you!

Jennifer

Our MINIportrait event for kids a couple of weekends ago was a smashing success!! We had 3 full days booked with our MINIportrait 25 minute sessions. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this event. We had a great time! I’ll be posting some of the images from our event as well. With these portrait sessions we photographed completely in colour…nice soft blue and a vibrant pink…great colours for spring, and a change from our regular Black and White Fine Art Portrait sessions in studio. We will be running this event bi-annually in April and October.

As well, our studio has been very busy with newborn, baby and maternity portraits this spring, and our summer is booking up for our “Capturing Your Day” documentary portrait sessions as well.  We’ll be photographing cottage sessions this summer up in the Muskokas and the Collingwood/Southern Georgian Bay area…and we are really looking forward to a great summer! Please call us at the studio at (705) 719-9769 to book your portrait session.

All of our portrait sessions are individually customized for you. As a boutique portrait studio we are also able to offer our portrait design expertise in assisting with custom framing options, albums, fine art books and all of our boutique items.

Here are a few portraits…and stay tuned for more…

Cheers,

Jennifer
