Doesn't Everyone Love Cake? | Children's Birthday Photography | Halifax, NS

I have decided that I love being asked to photograph children's birthday parties - so many cute kids and loads of photo opportunities.  This last party was no exception, cute kids everywhere, and so many photo ops!

But this post is about the cake.  Little Zoë had such a delicious looking ice cream cake, and she sure seemed to love it later on, but there was a moment in the beginning...










But she did love it.  For real...

Online Hosting | Halifax, NS Photography

I'm shaking up the biz a little bit this days and am currently looking for an online hosting site, somewhere my clients can get some decent prints printed.

I know the big ones out there:  pictage, smugmug, mpix, pickpic, but they each have such different options and pricing and catalogues that I get dizzy trying to sort it all out.

Here's ideally what I'd like out of my hosting company:
  • inexpensive (for both me and my clients), but not cheap.
  • quality prints and assorted other products (proofbooks, matboard, canvas, etc)
  • able to ship to canada
  • shipping directly to the client
  • pricing in Canadian dollars would be nice
  • no minimum order
  • digital files available for sale to clients
  • adjustable pricing that I get final say on
I thought I had narrowed the field and found a site, but their recommended $7.00 for a 4X6 print turned me away.

But, if any of you fellow photogs want to weigh in on how you do and what site you use or don't use, I would LOVE it if you would share your information with me!  It would be a huge huge huge help to know how others get it done.

OPA! | Halifax, NS

Last night was another entry in the Birthday Season:  friends Karla and Janice are each celebrating birthdays this week so we ventured to OPA! for a fun birthday dinner with friends and family.  It was hard to get any group shots in so my photos are mostly about the food - which was delicious!!

Popsicle Martinis!

Sangria - I'm not sure what's in it, but I'm trying it next time!

Happy Birthday, Girlies!!

Baptism in Black & White | Halifax, NS

You may remember seeing Ryder before, from here or here, and chances are pretty good that you'll be seeing him again and again as I have several sessions coming up this year that he'll be a part of. 

I was recently lucky enough to be able to photograph his Baptism.  It was a busy ceremony with several babies being welcomed into the Church.  Here are just a few photos from the day...
