Emerson’s First Birthday Party…

You’ve watched Emerson grow through his first year, and today, I had the opportunity to shoot his party. There were balloons, cake, lots of food, swimming and a jumping castle. What a party!

In a few days I’ll be shooting a little cake smash with Emerson. Can’t wait!

Kitchener Portrait Photographer :: Ian Taylor

I recently had the opportunity to work with Ian Taylor, a local Blues artist. Ian needed some images for his upcoming CD.

We had about 1/2 hour (while Ian was on a break from his ‘real life’ job), a couple speed lights and a concrete wall. Together, it made for a great back drop for some edgy blues portraits.

Ian’s CD is out soon. For now, he’s playing many local clubs. Check him out!

It’s always nice when someone from your past comes back to see you…. With a cute baby! Kim and her daughter Avaney stopped by our dining room studio for a quick session. We got some great shots with some of my new props and hats!

And the winner is…..

Earlier this week one of our baby club babies Emerson, brought a friend over to see us. Everyone, meet Eve! It was a treat to shoot a baby girl, it’s been a while. We had some new props to test out….

And of course, Emerson was his easy going, smiley self. I see modelling in his future for sure!

Well so long 2010 – Hello 2011…. 2010 was such a great year for Steve Brooks Photography. Thank you to all of you who made this year a good one. Here’s to a happy, safe and healthy 2011.

I’m really excited about 2011. I’ve got some projects on the go such as a new website and photo blog. I’m going to try and tackle a 356 day photo project, and of course the staple resolutions of exercise and eating healthy. Wish me luck!
