They say that via the six degrees of separation, we are all only six people away from every other person on this planet. It's pretty amazing when you really stop to think about it.

I think that in the small community of Pelham, however, that rule is more like one degree of separation, or two degrees at most.

Ron Kore and I met up on Saturday for his Portraits of Pelham session, and we discovered that he went to school with my Dad and my Uncle. What a small world!

Check out the write-up that I wrote for Ron at our Portraits of Pelham website!

I am happy to introduce you to my winter-semester co-op student, Cassandra! Cassie will be with us, here at the studio until the end of April, during the week from 9:00am - 3:00pm. Cassie is interested in pursuing a career as a professional photographer, and what better way to "test the waters" than to have a co-op with a professional photography studio!

We are very happy to have her join the team, and we're excited to have Cassie working on some fun new projects and ideas here at the studio. We're also hoping to have her as a "guest blogger", every week, to talk about her experiences here at the studio, what she's learning, and so on. Keep your eyes peeled!

I always like to take my co-op students out for a mini-portrait session at the beginning of their co-op so that they can get a feel for how I work, what it's like to be in front of the camera, and, ultimately, to create some really nice portraits of them for the blog!

I hope that you enjoy these winter-wonderland portraits!

Fonthill is home to many amazing individuals and some very successful businesses. Forestgreen Creations, founded by owner Todd Barber, is one of Fonthill's many success stories.

I met up with Todd last week for a Portraits of Pelham session, and we got some really amazing images. Check out the article that I wrote for him, at http://www.PortraitsOfPelham.com.

One of my favourite things about being a professional photographer is the people that I get to meet and spend time with. As a portrait and wedding photographer, the limits are pretty much endless as to the types of clients that I have. At the end of the day, everyone for one reason or another needs to have portraits created.

While a good majority of my work focuses around couples (engagement portraits, couple's portraits, and weddings), I do do a fair amount of other portraiture work, whether it be business portraits, family portraits, and so on. I personally just really just enjoy hanging out with amazing people, connecting, chatting, and creating some really nice portraits for them.

I met up with Sherry, Don, and Shari, of the Sherry Campbell Counselling Group, last week, to create some portraits for their upcoming re-branding and marketing material. The Sherry Campbell Counselling Group provides mental health counselling to individuals, couples, families and groups in Niagara, and I met Sherry through my local BNI group that I joined about 6 months ago.

Check out their website, at www.sherrycampbellcounsellinggroup.com. They're working on some really cool promotional products, brochures, and so on, so keep your eyes peeled for those, too!

In the meantime, enjoy some of these portraits that we created for them.

One of the things that I hoped to discover and create through Portraits of Pelham is not only to document some of the influential members of the Pelham community, but also to recognize and capture some unique and very special individuals.

Jim Ryan is the owner of Ryan's Auto Body in Fonthill, located just down the hill on Highway 20. Jim is an extremely dedicated and hard working man, and runs a very honest and genuine business here in Pelham. His expertise has benefited hundreds of Pelhaminians (there's that word again) and his kindness has touched even more.

One of the reasons that I was lead to Jim, and why I wanted to create a portrait and tell his story wasn't necessarily for his great auto-body shop, but instead, for his fascinating collection of memorabilia.

Please visit Portraits of Pelham to hear more about Jim and his stories. In the meantime, I've posted some of my favourite images from his session, here.

Enjoy!

Bryan
