I have had the opportunity to mentor a local photography-college student, Jennie Rorison, several times throughout the summer. Jennie is going to school hoping to further her education in photography and one day become a full-time professional photographer.

Last week, Jennie and I went out with the oh-so-gorgeous Emily Jansen for some photo-tips, lessons and one-on-one critiquing. We had a great time and Jennie learned a heap-loads!

Check out a few of the photographs that I was able to create.

Today is part 4 of the 5-part blog post from Karli and Stu's destination wedding in Turks and Caicos.

The evening after their wedding, we took Karli and Stu out for some more bridal portraits in and around the grounds at Beaches. We of course finished off, the destination wedding way, in the water, on the beach.

Enjoy these trash-the-dress and bridal portraits!

I get such a thrill out of photographing something different, something that I have never photographed before. I find that it gives me a real creative rush when I encounter something new and have to get artistic with it, while at the same time, adapting to the change of scenery.

This was exactly the case on Friday, when I got together with Abby and Kate for a portrait session for their new company. I have photographed both Abby and Kate before (Abby, more than once), and I always love getting together with clients again. Abby and Kate recently started up their own company, through which they teach dance and dance at bars and nightclubs. Here's the only caveat, though - they are "dancing" while suspended from straps, sometimes as high as 10 or 15 feet in the air.

I know - unreal, isn't it?

We had the portrait session at the brand-new Vice Lounge, in Niagara Falls. I'd like to send out a quick, personal thank-you to Mike Drolias, one of the owners of Vice Lounge for allowing us the use of his space (and time) on Friday. It was the perfect location for this kind of session, and I am really looking forward to working with Mike and the guys on some future projects, as well.

I'd also like to thank Jaime and the lovely ladies at Textures Hair Salon, who did a bang-up job with Abby and Kate's hair and make-up. I love collaborating with such amazing and creative artists - they really help make the images go from great to amazing.

Without further adieu, check out some of these images and tell me what you think in the Comments section, below!

Enjoy!

Yesterday, I went out with Katie for her first (of two) portrait sessions to further her modeling portfolio. We had a great time (even though we got rained on) and got her some really amazing images.

Here are a couple of my favorites ...

On Sunday evening, Abby came down, again, from Whitby, for another portrait session. She loved the images so much from our first shoot, that she just couldn't help but get some more portraits done!

This time, however, it was a bit different. We had a double-theme happening: the first was "boudoir" - a portrait session that we do with quite a few of our brides, where we get create intimate images designed to show true beauty. Only difference here is that Abby isn't a bride - she just wanted some amazing, soft and sexy boudoir portraits.

Our second theme was "fall" - and the brand "Abercrombie & Fitch" comes to mind here. We were cut short, due to the lack of light, but we still got some amazing stuff.
