Candace bbm'ed me 2 weeks ago inquiring about Christmas photos of her and her brother Brendon. I happily accepted the request and began thinking of locations and outfit choices in my head, that is until I started asking Candace what her goal and overall vision was with the photos.
Candace is Captain of her roller derby team the DVAS, and Brendon is an awesome lacrosse player for the Brampton Excelsiors. SO they wanted to showcase their pride and talent for the sports in portraits for their parents for Christmas. Needless to say this wasn't what I was expecting for Christmas Portraits so my ideas went out the window and I started visualizing sporty poses and different shots.I thought this was an amazing idea and the images (I hope) are a true portrayal of this.
Brendon organized the location, we shot in a change room at the Brampton Memorial Arena. It was something different than I have done before which was challenging because of the arena lighting but I worked through it and I think that I learned a lot. I always welcome unique sessions like this because I think taking on tasks that scare you a little and that test your abilities is the only way to become better and to learn.I think this is a great gift and something very special for your parents.
Happy Holidays and all the love for 2011.
