New baby photos

Part of her "Growing Baby" - "My First Year"  These are her 9 months photos.

 

I made sure we shot on white at each photo session since the beginning "Growing Belly" session so we can design a storyboard that would include a photo from each of the 6 sessions.

Only one more session to go. Her 12 months. Cannot believe how fast this has gone by !

Good WINTER morning!

Hello everyone,

What a beautiful winter wonderland scene this morning...

It was not fun driving to work though, even for my little 3 minute commute. I hope everyone got to work safely. the roads are getting better now but still be cautious.

The calls to redeem their vouchers have started to come in. The wood's fairy is number one on the charts... It is on of the themes scheduled during March Break

Remember, it's first come first serve and there are only so many sessions available per theme. We could allow for more sessions per day, but being the only photographer here, I like to give a very personal service to each and every little one who comes to play on my sets :)

The buck-off feature is on for 2 more days. I will keep you posted at the end on how many deals sold.

I wish you all a great day

March break preps already?

Yesterday, I was talking with a Mom about March break... Already? well yes, if there are tickets to buy or reservations to be made, it's time to book now because you might not find what you want if you wait too long.

She had a point.

This is why I decided to offer three different Tattle Tales themes during March break week. And if you take action now, you can buy your session for up to 3 children through the buck-off promo for only $69 and that includes prints.

DON'T DELAY, buy your voucher, then call the studio and reserve your session or sessions. There are no limits.  And each vouchers qualifies you for one session and the print package with it. But remember, first come first serve.

I do not know how many vouchers sold up until now, but I know there are only 3 days left...

Enjoy the rest of the day!

Desiree

Sad to see Sarah go

Thank you for your company today Sarah, It was enjoyable and insightful. I am glad you were there. You made the frustrations of tech glitches bearable.
It was fun to reminisce about the old days of photography as I was relating some experiments we use to do in photo school :)
You thought me a lot too... Until we can make a day of taking nice photos of you and Leo... Keep smiling :)

It Really Was A Pleasure!

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to let you all know that today is my last day in the co-op program, and also my last day as part of the Your Eye On Photo Team. I just wanted to express my deepest gratitude to Desiree and her family for making me feel so welcome and involved with their day to day activities. Also, thank you all for being so supportive and liking all my posts on Facebook! Everything is all greatly appreciated, and I hope that the wind will be at your back for all your future adventures in life. Having the opportunity to work here was unbelievable and I could not be more grateful than I am.

It truly is an adventure here at Your Eye On Photo, and being a small part of that was a blessing. I encourage you all to come by and get some portraits done and have some fun, because this place truly is magical. The magic in the air is electrifying, and when Desiree works, you can feel her raw passion for what she does and I think that is my favourite of all Desiree's amazing qualities. Working with Adam and Karen was also awesome as they were both so kind and helpful when I was struggling or had any clarifying questions to ask.

The amount of photography I have learned over the time I was here has been fantastic! I can now meter light with a handheld meter, work the "Black Box" for all the studio lighting, can comfortably operate Adobe Lightroom 3 with ease, can comfortably shoot in Manual mode, and even learned how to do business taxes! Having the chance to work with such an esteemed professional who truly cares for her craft and loves what she does, makes me want to pursue this career even more knowing that there are other people just as passionate for photography as I am. I will miss coming here everyday, and will miss everyone very much!

I also want to thank Desiree for helping me with my own photography endeavours, all the advice she has given me, making appropriate prices for prints, and learning how to approach and handle issues or concerns with customers in a polite and professional manner.

Merci beaucoup, Desiree. Tu es une belle personne, et l'amour tu as pour sa profession est merveilleuse! Bonne chance avec votre projets futurs!

Avec amour et grace,

Sarah

Starry, Starry Night

Hey Everyone,

We have all been pretty excited today, setting up the set for Starry Night for our first promotion of the year! All the stars have been stuck, and the fluff has been fluffed and we're all ready for our first little munchkin to come and read a bedtime story!

Seems it's cooled down as well this last couple of days. The snow decided to appear early this afternoon and now we're covered in a fresh blanket of powder- great for all the skiers and snowboarders out there! Unfortunately, for all of us daily workday commuters, the powder over ice seems to be a bit of a dilemma, and a safety risk. We hope you all get to work safely this morning! I think it's best to arrive alive then to arrive on time... although some bosses may object to that statement! Anyway, even the sun seems to have come out for the afternoon which is really brightening up the ambiance and removing that dull dark look from the sky. This weather is perfect for taking picturesque winter landscape pictures. Although despite the weather we all still keep on trucking with our Canadian immunity to the snow and cold. All I can say is thank goodness for heated car seats!!!

Back to the topic at hand- starry night! This set is a beautiful night scene with the child sitting atop a fluffy white cloud with his pjs and his teddy bear, with the moon and stars behind him (or her!). I personally love this one because of how timeless it is. It's a classic pose, with a fun theme integrated right in!

Stay warm everyone!

~Sarah

Happy Friday!

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to do a quick update and to say: HAPPY FRIDAY! Although some may have the belief that Friday the 13th is unlucky, I consider it the same as every other day, with the sun shining and setting to reveal the moon at night. Somebody once told me a very wise phrase and that was "no matter how bad or good your day is, the number of hours in a day will never change" meaning, no matter what happens during the day, always expect the sun to rise in the East and set in the West. I tend to think of that during days where I need a little "pick-me-up", or even to think about perspective in my life.

We have lots going on recently, all which will be revealed shortly! Yes, I know, you're all dying to know, but I am sworn to secrecy until the day which it will be released. All I can tell you is that it's going to be great, and you all will love it! We've been working really hard this last week making the schedule and the preparations for all the marketing and media, so we are really hoping that you all enjoy what we have to offer this year! :)

Hopefully you all have a wonderful weekend! :)

-Sarah

Welcome Back! Bienvenue!

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to wish everyone a happy return back to the real world after all that holiday madness! Hope your holiday was everything you had wished it to be this year, and that you have many more prosperous holidays to come. All of us at Your Eye On Photo had enough to do this holiday, and it feels great to be back in the swing of things!

So, there's lots coming up in 2012 that we have planned! We have lots of upcoming Tattle Tales Promos that will be posted on Facebook and our official website once we have everything finalized and ready for you. We have high hopes this year for lots of happy clients, and already have had calls regarding events they would like us to participate in, so we are most definitely off to a positive start this year.

The weather doesn't seem to be what we were all wishing for, sadly. If this seems to be the most of what we're getting this year, we're getting off easy! For us here in Caledon, we had a fairly white Christmas and a sprinkle of snow this new years eve, unlike some others in the GTA that unfortunately had mostly a green Christmas season this year. So much for the picturesque Canadian Holiday Season, eh? I have barely had any time, or appropriate winter weather to take some of my own personal shots, since we seem to have only been blessed with mostly rain and ice.

But never the less, we are back in business! If you haven't called yet and wish to, we are back to our normal store hours and would be more than happy to speak with you regarding any future or past endeavours that we have done together.

Sarah
