I am NOT into photography to find a wife/GF, I am NOT in it to get models out of their clothes, And I do NOT "Bad Mouth" other photographers, or their work....I do it cause I am passionate about photography and creating memorable images that will last a lifetime.

I am looking forward to doing some studio work in the near future, as the temperature will no-doubt get colder in the coming months, I no-longer have the desire to freeze my(or the models)butt off. So stay tuned to see the indoor work, coming soon.

Thanks to everyone for all the comments and Favs, over the past two years, sorry if I cannot send a personal thank-you to each and every person.. so I'll do it here..

After a tough few weeks, with the pressures and stresses of this industry weighing on my mind, I began to think about giving it up, and moving onto other aspects of photography. I have since decided to stick with it, at least for now and hope that with new opportunities and challenges ahead, I can leave all the stress behind me and move on to bigger and better things. If not ...you'll see some awesome landscape photos...

Thanks to Jenn, Michelle, and Brit for helping bring back my passion..

July 2008:

Blessed with exceptional beauty and an awesome personality, Meg was like a breath of fresh air. Every time out she made each image come alive with her smile.

Along with her two handsome boys, Marie showed her passion for life and her children. The images we created inspire thought and love for family, for a long time to come.

With an angelic face and killer body, Jenn shows every time out, that she's not "just another pretty face", she is a true professional, even though she has only started in modeling.(Read The adventures of Jenn & Jeff)

August 2008:

The month started off with a "Flash"... with a double shoot with Vanessa, and her BFF Josie, These girls know how to make each shot tell a story.

Later in the week, I had the opportunity to work with the Gorgeous "FHM" model Michelle. The ultimate professional and a stunning beauty, our shoot began in the pooring rain, but ended in an adventure that will be remembered by everyone involved for a lifetime...

*******"THE ADVENTURES OF JENN & JEFF Episode #1********

During our 1st shoot, Jenn removed a precious ring from her finger and laid it on her MU case in the car, I proceeded to place the MU case inside of the trunk, (for safe keeping). After the shoot, while driving back to her vehicle, Jenn realized that the ring was missing, and we began to tear the car apart(literally) looking for the missing ring. We decided to drive back to the last shoot location and look for the ring. With the daylight fading fast, we drove back to the location and frantically searched the area for the ring. After searching without success, I asked Jenn if she wanted to try the previous location also, with her hopes fading as quickly as the sunset, Jenn agreed it was at least worth a try. We drove to the darkened street and parked near a majestic church. As I exited the car and squinted to see a small glimmer of shine coming from the pavement just ahead. I ran towards it and found the missing ring in perfect condition. Jenn jumped with excitement and relief that the ring was found...and the adventure continues....Stay tuned...there's more.

July 3, 2008:

Part 1: Under the Hot Afternoon sun, Julie and I managed to got in three hours and over 180 images...The temps reached the high 20s, yet Julie looked great and was so much fun to work with ...

Part 2: After a short break for Dinner, I picked up Val and we headed to the Park, Dtown, then into the sticks....Val is an absolute Pro, every pose, every look showed her poise and experience.

July 5, 2008:

Shoot #2 with the Gorgeous Val, We made our way to the River and found a shaded area in which to shoot/relax....Once the sun started to drop below the mountains, we took advantage of nature's soft box, and moved to the waterfalls...even being scratched-up, cut and bruised by the sharp rocks around the river, Val's Stunning beauty and determination made for some incredible shots..thanks Girl..YOU ROCK !!

****************************************************

I have decided to make some changes to my photography business. Since I began photographing models in June 2007, I have had the pleasure of working with some of the most beautiful and talented models in Atlantic Canada, and I have learned so much from each and every one. My portfolio has improved substantially, and is now grown to over 400 images. I am passionate about my work and the finished product, however I find myself becoming frustrated with certain aspects of this industry.

Therefore, as of July 7, 2008 I will no longer offer TFP/TFCD.

She is so much fun to be around you can't help but smile...We got a very late start, but managed to get some awesome images, and at the end of the day everyone was happy. On a sour note the mosquitoes were so thick, they almost carried us away...but we stuck it out and it really paid off. Off to "Freddy Town" tomorrow for shoot #2....looking forward to it !!

2008-05-24:
Freddy town ...Wasn't sure about the weather for this shoot...but mother nature helped out and the sun did make an appearance or two as we made our way to Fredericton. Ashley is an amazing model, full of life and smiles... thanks for making my job that much easier, Ash..you are amazing.

2008-05-25:
Back home and tired out...long drive yesterday...but the sun is out and it's warm...another shoot with the gorgeous Genevieve, Started the day off at Centennial Park, and made our way through the city and the country to a few different locations. Even with a slight redness in her eye, she still looked awesome ...Thank you Genee.

2008-05-25:
Second shoot of the day..Flaked ..grrr...oh well the day was not lost and I had plenty of pics to sort through ...needed the break anyway ...

Did a shoot today with the Stunning Jessica. This was our first shoot together and probably not our last. The weather co-operated to a point, as the sun was out, but if was very cold again...Can't wait for Summer..

Jessica showed that she is a real trooper as she was freezing but still managed to keep her smile and look amazing..

Lots of great images...total over 170

Thanks Jessica ...more to come

On the down side I managed to break my already broken tripod even more, breaking the grip right off the head, not sure why they called it the "Pro" model... cause it has only lasted since August... Think I'll be sending it back to SUNPAK along with a nasty letter about their shitty equipment.

Day was a complete Success.!!

Thanks Brit, you are a Natural !!

Worked with a new model...(New to me)..Tanya, today ... she is a Beautiful, confident woman, who has a natural beauty that really shines through the lens... She was fun to work with, other than complaining about her butt freezing..lol.. however we had a lot of fun... and made some wonderful images together.

Hope to work more with you in the future Tanya

On the downside... Broke the new tripod today, not sure how I'll fix it but ...live and learn..

Stick around more to come
