The photographic industry in the Niagara Region is full of wonderful people and great photographers. I am proud to call many of Niagara's finest wedding and portrait photographers my friends.

A lot of people consider photographers competitors, when in fact, that couldn't be further from the truth. Every photographer has their own style, personality, and business philosophy, and they attract couples and clients who resonate with them. There are no two photographers who are identical in style, personality and business philosophy, and therefore, we all attract our own set of clients.

Therefore, we can all be friends! Woo hoo!

I founded and organize a large group of local professional wedding and portrait photographers that I called "We Niagara Photographers". It started off a few years ago with going out for coffee with a few of us, and now there are over 60 photographers in the "group", and we get together every month to socialize, hang out, shoot, learn, and have fun.

This past Friday, I organized our We Niagara Photographers get-together to first have breakfast at the lovely Cora's in Niagara Falls, and then out for a photo-shoot.

Here are a few of the images that I created while out on the photo-session, with Emma and Ally. Big thanks to the girls for coming out and modelling for us!

Enjoy!

One of the greatest things about being a professional photographer is the people that I have the opportunity to connect (or re-connect) with and spend time with. It is great because everyone, at some point, will need to hire a professional photographer, whether it be for a wedding, for family portraits, for maternity and newborn portraits, or for an event.

Years and years ago, in a previous life, I was a competitive swimmer, at Brock University. From about the age of 7 until I was 17 or 18, I swam, 7 to 8 times a week, at a provincial level. Sean was on the swim team with me, and we were good friends back in the day.

I had the chance to re-connect with Sean this past Tuesday when I hung out with him, his sister, Sara, and their Mom, Catherine, for a family portrait session.

Brides may recognize Catherine, as she is the owner and primary baker from Willow Cakes and Pastries. She is a phenomenal woman and a great pastry chef. If you haven't seen or tasted her goodies, you NEED to make a trip in to Niagara-on-the-Lake to do so!

Enjoy a few of these images. It was quite windy on Tuesday, but we still managed to get some really nice images for them.

Brad Humble is an advisor for Sunlife Financial, and was looking for an updated business portrait for his marketing materials and website. Brad just joined the BNI group that I am part of, and his business portrait session was a great opportunity to not only photograph him, but get to know him and his business a little bit better.

Here are a few of my favourite images. A few formal, in-studio business portraits, and a couple of outdoor, location-based business portraits. Enjoy!

Jessica is the newest addition to Graham Wilson's super-team over at Graham Wilson Barrister and Solicitor, so we set up a portrait session with her to have a presence on their new website.

While I was at their office, we also photographed some "team" photos for them. Enjoy!

Allow me to introduce to you Mr. Brandt Fleming. Brand it an outgoing, positive, energetic and kind-hearted person and I am lucky to be able to call him a friend.

Brandt is a personal trainer in the Niagara region, who focuses on one-on-one, bootcamps and corporate training. He cares a TON about his clients and only wants the best for everyone. He is launching a few new campaigns, and so he wanted some updated, fun, colourful portraits to use.

Check him out!
