Anyone want an “In-Home Portrait?”

There has been something I have wanted to do for quite some time – and that is “In-Home” Portraits.  I did my first sessions this past March… “awaiting the baby” and again in “another ‘in-home’ portrait session, while in Brandon.  I have been meaning to do more of these – but my clients have been loving what my studio offers!   But, there are always a few that want something different.   If you would like to take advantage of these ‘In-Home’ Portrait sessions – please contact me at 204.326.1813 and we can talk!

I have found that when people are in their own environment they tend to be more relaxed!  These portraits also showcase their home – their personality in furniture and decor and they also have their wardrobe handy to change if they wish!

Here is a session I did this past September.  I photographed Cheryl & Jeff for the first time in November 2005 for their engagement portraits (you’ll see their portrait on display in their home!).  I then had the privilege of photographing their wedding in January 2006.  Now there are a few reasons that Cheryl and Jeff are special people.  One is that Cheryl is my niece and one of the best Massage Therapists around!  Cheryl is an outgoing bubbly person and Jeff is this serious man – but with a great sense of humour!  They make a perfect couple and I love photographing them!   I would say that 3½ years after their wedding they look as much in love as they did on their wedding day!

What fun!   There were so many areas to photograph in and around their home!  Cheryl was a bit reluctant at first as she said they wanted to paint, replace baseboards, flooring, etc.  But I told her that this was the first house that they bought and these would bring back great memories of what it looked like!   When they viewed their images after the session she exclaimed, “Wow – our home looks pretty good!”     Thank you Jeff – for being a good sport in allowing me to invade your home – especially since you’d just come back from several days on the road and were hungry and tired!  You don’t look it!  Cheryl – keep smiling!  I LOVE your smile!
