It’s thrilling to me that people will just be themselves with me, shortly after we meet.  Derek and Jess are smart, funny and laid back people.  I love their sense of humour and amusement and the enjoyment they show being together.  Here are some engagement portraits of them in Waterloo.

Hey! – This is last year’s special (2008)!

For this year’s (2009) fall  special, click here –> Fall Portrait Special

……

It’s a beautiful time of year for outdoor portraits.   ….. and that time will be gone in 6 weeks if you are afraid of the cold.  I am offering Fall family portrait specials in the great outdoors until Nov 15th 2008.  There are separate (but very similar) specials for individual and couple portraits just below this family offer.

Have a portrait session with the fall foliage colours, portraits on the beach, in the park, at your home or at your favourite place.  I have several favourites of my own to suggest as well.   Come out for a fun, relaxed and casual portrait session that is decidedly untraditional.   We will collaborate to make some beautiful, natural images that reflect your personalities.

As with all of my portrait work, I guarantee you will love your images or you don’t pay.   One week after your portrait session is your viewing and selection session.   If you don’t love the images I show you, simply tell me and I will offer a 2nd session (also guaranteed) or a complete refund of the package fee.   You choose.   No pressure and no hard feelings either.   I want you to be happy you chose me as your photographer; happy to choose me again; and excited to recommend me to friends and family who share your taste and style.

Here are 3 samples of custom designed photo collages (no two are ever the same):

Don’t see what you want in the specials above?   Book a custom portrait session and enjoy all the benefits included in the custom portrait session fee:    Separate consultation/planning session; more than 1 location; unlimited wardrobe changes; and extra images to choose from with more variety.

I’m doing some promotional portraits for Alysha’s new CD release.  Check out the session video below to hear one of her songs.  You can hear more on her myspace page:  http://www.myspace.com/alyshabrillinger

These online streaming music samples are just a taste.  It’s a whole nuther experience to hear Alysha’s voice unleashed in a beautifully mastered recording.   You need to hear the full sound of these recordings on a real stereo or good headphones.  It gives me goosebumps!   Special credit is due to  her very talented producer, Ron Lopata:   http://www.ronlopata.com

I went quiet for longer periods working with Alysha.  I don’t want to interfere or interrupt when someone is so natural and just being herself.  I just want to keep up!
She is playful, very enthusiastic and a total natural for the sexy/edgy/real look that we wanted.
Thanks for a great session Alysha.  I know with your love for what you do, your talent, your drive, your persistence and your personable nature, you are going to do well.

Thanks to Barb for all your help assisting on this session!
