This is a Trash The Dress Session from 2010. I have been going through past images lately organizing them for my own reference, and while doing so, I decided to re-edit my favourite ones from this session. At the time I was really happy with my edits, but looking back now, I saw where I could improve. I imported them back into Lightroom and tweaked them a little bit, more to my liking. I wanted to share them again as they are richer and brighter! We had a lot of fun with this session. It was Thanksgiving weekend, so the water was cold and we even had cake to smash at the end of it all! Thanks to the ladies for being such good sports and at least testing the water out! Stay Posted for more Trash The Dress Sessions this summer! If you would like to participate in one, or schedule one for yourself email erin@transitionsphotography.ca and we will set it up!

Rizo and Allison are getting married in July, and I am so excited to be a part of their Special Day! We met up for these Engagement Photos at Waterloo Park, and I knew as soon as I saw them the colours they were wearing were going to ‘pop’! Amanda, Allison’s Sister came along, as well as their son Kayden. We killed 3 birds with one stone and got some nice Family Photos, and a present for Mother’s Day! I am looking forward to their wedding, because after spending some time with them, I am pretty sure it is going to be a lot of fun!

Here are images from another Wedding I shot with Latte Productions. Erin and Sean, along with their whole wedding party were so much fun to work with. They made us feel welcome and part of the fun!
On a side note, I will no longer be shooting for Latte Productions, but I will still be offering Wedding Photography as a big part of my Services. There are lots of dates available for 2012 still, so if you haven’t booked a Photographer for your Wedding, I will be offering a special discount for 2012 Weddings!

We went to visit some friends on the weekend and stayed overnight, and also learned while we were there that Maple Fest was the following day. What a great weekend for a visit! Saugeen Bluffs is a Conservation Area/Campground that I used to go to every summer with my family camping, so it was nice to go back and see what has and hasn’t changed. We enjoyed some pancakes and sausage with Maple Syrup, and walked around the park looking at all the vendors. It was a bit cool, but nice and sunny and no rain! Perfect weather for a Maple Syrup Festival!

We ventured into the woods yesterday across the road from our house to see what was back through the path. The trees are SO tall, and the vines on some of them are just as tall. There is a path to walk on, and it comes to a clearing where it looks like someone is logging. A lot of the trees are marked to be cut down. But, we did find some beauty – the path would make a perfect location for some Outdoor Photos this Spring/Summer, and we saw one single butterfly flutter by and land on a tree. I wouldn’t want to go back there at night, the Turkey Vultures that are nesting high above might get me!

We have noticed the odd Turkey Vulture circling around the fields by our house once in a while, then we noticed a couple of them a few days ago across the road above the trees. Then, yesterday, we stepped outside, looked up and saw a whole bunch of them! There must have been at least 30 of them circling around the woods across the road. They got closer and closer until they were almost over our house. I couldn’t miss the opportunity to get some photos. Unfortunately this was at dusk, so I couldn’t get a lot of detail, but I am pretty sure they will be back. I have a feeling they are nesting across the road. To some, it it creepy, spooky etc., but I thought it was pretty awesome to watch!

This gorgeous black cat wandered onto the property where we were visiting on the weekend for a birthday party. It quickly became friendly with everyone, so our friend brought out some cat food for it. It didn’t wander too far away after that! It seemed to be quite comfortable, as it jumped the gate into the garage, and found the door was open going into the house and made the mistake of going in. Once inside the door it was met with 2 Jack Russel Terriers and 2 full size cats. Let’s just say ‘Attack’ was the word for that meeting! The dogs were given orders to stop, and cat ran in behind the washing machine. When our friend reached to get the cat out, it attached itself to her face – leaving some nice teeth marks and scratches! It was lightly tossed back out of the garage, and never to be seen again! It left behind some clumps of black hair, and the dogs had a few scratches on their legs, but everyone was ok in the end. Luckily, I got some photos before all this drama!

We couldn’t have asked for more beautiful weather this March Break! Here are Sunsets from Friday and Saturday evening, and the fog we woke up to this morning. It looks so much better out in the country! I could take photos of the sunset out here every evening!

This was out in my front yard this morning. I was lucky, as it was perched on the tree stump and I had time to run in and grab my camera before it flew away. Let`s hope the warm weather stays with us!

These aren’t my usual kind of photos, but I’ve been wanting to get some good photos of this little cutie since we got her.  We brought her home on Valentine’s Day to surprise the kids.  We thought it was appropriate (well, the kids mostly) to name her Smooch! She doesn’t really give hugs and kisses, heck, she barely lets anyone touch her!  She is very curious and very skittish, and as soon as you open the cage door she is right there wondering what is going on and if you are going to let her out.  To keep her from running away on me – either up to her bed, or out of the cage I just whistled.  She just stood there for me as I snapped a few photos and then went about her business.  I really wish she would let me pick her up, but she is too quick!
