Beach Portrait Sessions | Wasaga Beach Photographers

June 24, 2010

If you have never had the chance to come to our studio you wouldn’t know that we live about a block from Georgian Bay. Our beach makes the ideal background for photographing couples, dogs, kids and of course families. This summer we are offering beach portrait sessions on Wednesday and Thursday mornings & evenings. The great thing about this is because it is so close, we offer photographing there at the same rate as in the studio. $150.00 (plus hst) for session fees with studio packages starting at $300.00 (plus hst).

If it’s been awhile since you have had the family portrait done why not this summer at the beach? call the studio for more details or to book your date.

Love on the beach- Jennie & Craig May 2010

Cheers,

Kate & Andrew

Jamey & Gord & Paxton’s E-Session | Barrie Wedding Photographers

June 16, 2010

Jamey & Gord Love their pup named Paxton. They had asked us if it was okay to bring her along to their engagement session and I was a little worried at first but there was really no need in worrying. She listened really well and loved to play stick. She is really just a younger version our our dog Thunder. I had forgotten how much energy a young lab can have. We had an amazing night for a session after already having to reschedule once due to rain. The weather could not have been better. No wind, very few bugs and a beautiful sunset.

We are both very excited to see what Jamey & Gord have planned for their wedding day. There wedding is going to be taking place at Vespra Hills Golf Course which will be a new venue for us. Apparently, it has some breath taking scenery.

I will heading out to Vespra Hills next week to have a tour. I hope that it will be a nice night to photograph, so I can share the view with you.

Don’t forget about our contest! Goes until July 18th.

Cheers,

Kate & Andrew
