Samantha and the Three Foot Rule

Samantha and I have been working together for over two years - sometimes with unintentionally long breaks. But she paid me a high compliment last week when she asked me to start working on a special photo album for her boyfriend. The reason: she always felt comfortable shooting with me and knew she wouldn't have uncomfortable moments while posing in exposed or vulnerable situations.

Hence, my general three foot rule. In 99% of situations during a shoot, I'm going to be at least three feet away. No uncomfortably close moments, no accidental or intentional touching. Good communication goes a long way and if a really wicked shot needs the rule to broken, it will be talked out first. No surprises. But I digress...

The first few images are kinda sporty...

New Website Launched!

Just a quick update and a promise to have a lot more action on the blog in the coming months. I wanted to post a few of the collages I'm using on the new website and tell you a little about the people featured on it!

First up, the wedding page collage. Featured here are shots from Vera and Tim's gorgeous Los Angeles wedding. There's also a little shot of Carla and Shaun beside the Bras D'or Lakes just after their Big Pond wedding in Cape Breton. And yes, that's Stephanie Christian, fashion and runway model, showing off an alternative wedding dress at a beach near Halifax.
