There are so many times that we get caught up in Reality TV, or Hollywood's latest and greatest, and the "rockstars" of the world, that we forget to acknowledge and really appreciate the talent that we have in our own backyard.

Mark Lalama is a local musician, here, in Pelham, and he has been gifted with an incredible talent for the art of music. It is no wonder that he has seen such success.

I had the pleasure of meeting with Mark, recently, for a "Portraits of Pelham" feature. You can visit www.PortraitsOfPelham.com to read more about Mark.

Please enjoy some of these images that I created for him.

Being a young entrepreneur, myself, it is always so refreshing to meet and see other young individuals succeeding in business for themselves.

James Antonio is a Financial Security Advisor from Freedom 55 Financial. James and I went to elementary school and high school together, and we recently met up again at the BNI Niagara - Champagne chapter that I previously mentioned.

James recently had a new website built for his business, and needed to have some new headshots done. James is a genuine and caring individual, and he knows his stuff when it comes to financial advising. If you are looking for someone to talk with, give James a call. His contact information is:

Office: (905) 682-2651, ext 304
Cell: (905) 359-8507

Here's two of my favourite images that we took for James ... enjoy!

As you may or may not know, Allison and I recently purchased a home in Fonthill, and so we have recently moved our home-based-studio to the wonderful city of Pelham.

We have discovered so many wonderful treasures, met so many amazing people and stumbled upon some incredible talent, here, in Fonthill. As an attempt to discover more, uncover more, and meet more, we have launched our new portrait project, Portraits of Pelham. You can check out our Portraits of Pelham website, over at www.PortraitsOfPelham.com.

Portraits of Pelham will feature portraits created of members of the community who reflect the essence and character of Pelham, whether it be through their volunteer commitments, their business contributions, or the unique nature of their personal vision. Each portrait will be taken ‚"on-location", in an environment that uniquely represents the individual, such as at their home or their place of business. Each portrait will be accompanied with a brief ‚"biography" of this individual, explaining their place in the community.

My first Portraits of Pelham subject was Monique Mulder-Wallace, a local pottery artist, here in Fonthill.

Monique grew up in Oakville, and has always had a passion for pottery. As a little girl, she would spend her spare time practicing and perfecting the art of pottery. She has taught pottery classes all around the area while continuing to hone her own style. When Monique, her husband, her son and her daughter moved to Fonthill 7-years ago, she pursued a different path with regards to pottery. Instead of spending the majority of her time in the classroom, teaching the art, she decided to go full-time as a pottery artist, and create and sell unique pieces to the local community.

Monique has since had her work displayed in galleries all around Ontario, and also has pieces decorating the shelves of‚ "Reign Equestrian and Athletics" and "Butterflies Boutique", right here, in Fonthill. Monique has also participated in the Pelham Art Festival, and plans to participate again this year.

Monique lives in a truly creative environment, her husband plays the guitar and paints beautiful, one-of-a-kind watercolour paintings, her son plays the guitar, piano and trumpet in the school and local band, and her daughter has her own line of jewellery, called "Fly Away Home Jewellery" and also plays piano and flute. It is no wonder that Monique is able to continually re-inspire herself to create the most beautiful pieces of pottery art!

I hope that you enjoy a few of the portraits that I created for her - starting with, of course, the "signature" portrait that was featured on Portraits Of Pelham.

Enjoy!

As wedding photographers, we are so fortunate to be able to spend a great deal of time with our couples. Not only do we hang out all day on the wedding day, but we also meet-up several times throughout the wedding planning process, chit-chat on the phone to check-up from time to time, and, of course, we always have the engagement sessions to get together and have some fun.

We find that after spending such a great amount of time with our couples and after having connected with them on such a deeper level than as photographers, the wedding day is bitter-sweet. It's sweet because, well, it's their wedding day and we are so excited for them to move forward into that part of their lives together. But it's bitter because that means that our time together will be soon coming to a halt.

That's why we love it so much when our couples come back to us for their portrait sessions - whether it be another "It's Love" session, a trash-the-dress, a maternity session or a family sessions.

Ann and Tony are such a phenomenal couple. We had a terrific time skating with them at their engagement session at Bronte Creek, and we were blessed to share their wedding day with them last summer. They were also kind enough to do a video-testimonial for BcapTV late last year. When we found out that they were expecting, we were ecstatic! It's so exciting to see our couples go from engaged, to married, and then to starting a family of their own.

We got together with Ann and Tony this past weekend for a maternity session, and it was so much fun to hang out again. Ann is 7-months along the journey, and her belly is just adorable!

Below are a few of our favourite images ... I hope that you enjoy them! Congratulations Ann and Tony, and all the best with the little one!
