regnancy and birth are miraculous journeys.
But there is another aspect of pregnancy and birth.
When a baby dies, a world is turned upside down.
This is the place where the Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation gently provides a helping hand and a healing heart.
Offering gentle and beautiful photography services in a compassionate and sensitive manner is the heart of this organization. The soft, gentle heirloom photographs of these beautiful babies are an important part of the healing process. They allow families to honor and cherish their babies, and share the spirits of their lives.

Just an update to let you know that Rebekah and myself have just finished our first Help-Portrait assignment.
This was a tough one as it was for a beautiful 11 year old girl at Rogers House who does not have much time left.
To be perfectly honest with all you, when I initiated this project in Ottawa, I envisioned taking portraits of seniors in nursing/retirement homes, happy children, single moms, people of modest means etc.
I was a little nervous because of the responsibility and importance of these photo’s.
I spent the weekend editing my shots and on more than one occasion my wife Nicole and I got teary eyed seeing Heathers beautiful eyes and their gaze back… as Nicole said, it’s as if Heather is looking back at us through the eyes of an old soul…
This particular session has touched me like no other and will stay with me for the rest of my life.

I’m sure that Rebekah feels the same…

1. LET THE KIDS HAVE FUN
Children are most expressive when they are being themselves.
2. FAMILIAR ENVIRONMENT
3. PLAY THE EXPRESSIONS GAME
4. PARENTS OR NO PARENTS
Some kids feel shy with other people watching them including their parents. Other kids love having an audience.
5. KEEP IT RELAXED
Family and especially children portraits are nothing like other high stress photographic assignments like wedding or fashion shoots. Keep it easy, relaxed and conversational. Sell your personality before anything else and the bonds you make will last as long as the pictures.

This post will show a side of Portugal that most of us are not familiar with! Portugal is a country rich in culture, neighbor of Spain, the country is located in southwestern Europe on the Iberian Peninsula. Its cities give us the sensation of another era, where modernity blends with nature and the beauty of the landscapes makes us really want to go there to visit.
This selection will show some of these great wonderful places, rich in culture and looks. I hope you like the selection. And in case you have nice photos from Portugal to share, post a comment! And don’t forget to visit the artist’s site by clicking at the images! Enjoy.
cameras are fairly complicated pieces of equipment these days but that shouldn’t be a reason not to learn the basics of photography if you’re looking to improve your skills.
‘Seeing’ the Shot
You’ve got to put a little effort and thought into what you’re going to shoot before you even pick up the camera. Your eyes have such a wide field of view and can quickly adjust to all kinds of lighting situations but as a photographer you’ve got to learn how to see the world through a camera lens.
There’s a quote by Marcel Proust that I try to incorporate in my approach to photography “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes”.
The best way to understand what makes a good shot is to study (not copy!) other people’s work. If you see a shot that you like try to understand exactly what it is about it that you like.
