Creative Passport Photos

Passport photos can be sooo boring to photograph!  Especially when your client is a  3 year old child full of energy. Rules like : keep your shoulders straight,don’t smile, sit still are not in their daily routines…  After the passport photo was done,  we decided to have a little bit of fun!    Don’t forget to ask a Child what her favorite object of the day is  and exploit it to the max!!

Pink is in !

kids, kids, kids – Ottawa Children Photography

Kids are beautiful. Spontaneous, candid style photography is often the way to go when photographing babies and children. Nothing beats a beautiful studio portrait, they are truly amazing; but, well executed candid freestyle photography is like magic. In the last year, we’ve had the privilege of photographing Ottawa kids in action at a local daycare. Here are examples of the photographs we came up with to decorate their walls.Baby and Children on location photography Ottawa Orleans CumberlandBaby and Children on location photography Ottawa Orleans CumberlandBaby and Children on location photography Ottawa Orleans CumberlandBaby and Children on location photography Ottawa Orleans CumberlandBaby and Children on location photography Ottawa Orleans CumberlandBaby and Children on location photography Ottawa Orleans CumberlandBaby and Children on location photography Ottawa Orleans CumberlandBaby and Children photographers Ottawa Orleans CumberlandBaby and Children on location photography Ottawa Orleans CumberlandBaby and Children photography Ottawa Orleans Cumberland

Born to be in front of the camera – Ottawa Children Studio Photography

Kids are beautiful. Sometimes, they just have the “it” factor. This kid just had it all. Looks, personality, charm and a smile that just light up the camera room…

Ottawa Outdoor Family Photography

 We had scheduled to photograph this beautiful family on an  Saturday afternoon at our Cumberland Estate Studio a few saturdays ago. Unfortunately, it was raining that day! ( we had a lot of rain dates this year…) Thankfully, we managed to re-schedule their family portrait session this week. The late evening light  gave us a chance to discover new shooting area’s like the first two photos taken in our front entrance. Looking through our lens of  choice ( the canon 70-200 mm) let’s us zoom in on the people we are photographing and really concentrate on the direction of the light. Despite the cold weather, we came up with some  pretty “hot’ images.  I’m kind of happy we had to reschedule 🙂

Family Studio Photography in Ottawa

Simplicity at it’s best…..

We just photographed the Burke family in our studio in Ottawa (Orleans). Christine (Mom), wanted a relaxed style… Sometimes, it’s not about the fancy backgrounds and the props ( we are not big on those anyway), it’s about people… This beautiful photographic family session shows a fun, relax style in a simple environment….And kids that just love to move…

Outdoor Family Photography (Estate Studio-Cumberland)

We had the pleasure of photographing Céline and her 3 year old daughter…again. Every summer, we do an update photo for them!  This time, they came to our new estate studio in Cumberland. We often photograph in the afternoon or in the evening, but we wanted to try the morning light. Wow, beautiful light. We get to explore new angles around the pond and the natural back lighting is amazing.

Céline use to work for a high end photography studio in the Niagara Falls area before relocating to Ottawa. When she moved here, she went searching for a photographer and found us! She makes us come up with the perfect image every time! It has been a continuous photographic affair ever since 🙂

3rd time is a charm… Baby Photography

 

3 times Brigitte had to come to our Orleans studio from Gatineau, Quebec for Eva’s 1 year old photography portrait session. All her other kids were photographed on their 1st birthday , so this was a must. At Studio G. R. Martin, we have a very relaxed approach about children photography. If a child does not cooperate  the first time, bring them back until they do….Little Eva’s 3rd session was a charm !  Her mom never lost confidence in us and we never gave up either. This winning combination of determination and persistence made this image earn a well deserved 24×36 canvas in our gallery.

Baby & Children Studio Photography

In our Orleans, Ottawa indoor studio still located at 1439  Youville Drive ( we have not moved our indoor studio yet to 2080 Old Montreal Road), we love to photograph babies and kids. They are often one hour sessions filled with love and patience !!! In this set, we re-create a natural window light by placing 3  flashes behind the acrylic windows ( at f-11) and  one flash as a fill ( around f-5.6).

We also do baby announcement cards. This was baby # 3 for this ottawa family ( we also photographed their 2 girls when they were babies ), now that the family is complete, here is an example of a baby announcement card including all the kids.

Until next time,

Ottawa Dance Photography with Mary Kathryn & Emma

Dance Photography is a big part of our photography business. We love designing new dance backgrounds every year for the dance schools we photograph.  For years, we’ve been happy to provide our dance photography services to the following dance schools :  Leeming Danceworks , The Academy of Dance Arts , Ecole de Danse Louise , Dance R  Studio, Remix Dance  and  Le Dance Lab.. We have photographed the same kids for over 20 years now, and it’s great to see their evolution and also, the evolution of our photography and dance backgrounds.

Mary Katheryn and Emma Bohn attend Leeming Danceworks http://leemingdanceworks.com/2_classes.htm in Orleans, Ontario. We have been photographing them since the year 2000. Their mom Carol-Ann, a devoted “dance MOM”, dedicates tons of love and time for her daughters and made them each a scrapbook with all the dance photos we took over the years. When Emma came in to get her grade 6  graduation photos done, we spent time looking at their wonderful albums full of great  memories. I just had to take a photo to show all of you . Here it is:

 scrapbooking with orleans dance photography from Studio G.R. Martin

 The Bohn family spends time  together during their summer vacation to make amazing albums. They carefully choose the scrapbooking materiel at Michaels – the arts & Crafts Store, then, add all the awards they won with the dance number. Here is a close up look at a few pages:

Great work and hope this inspires other dancers to do the same!!!

As Studio G.R. Martin is the Bohn’s official family photographers, I decided to show you a little preview of the photography we have done for the girls throughout the years.  It is always a joy to photograph them…
