POOK shoot

While we were out finishing our Christmas shopping at West Edmonton mall, we went to the POOK kiosk to see what they had. Low and behold who happened to be there but Tony Pook himself, the inventor of the POOK TOQUE and other POOK accessories. Some of you may remember him from the CBC show DRAGON'S DEN. They were on season 4 episode 11. You can watch the episode at the following link:

While we were talking to him we happened to mention that we were starting to break into the professional photography world and if he needed any photos taken then to give us a call. What happened next made me and Jenn almost go speechless. He hired us on the spot to take photos of his new store that he had just opened in Edmonton's City Center mall. We took the job and here is some of what we gave him.

It was interesting doing commercial photography for the first time. Isaac took the pictures and Jenn directed the shoot, and we think everything turned out pretty well. Another feather in the cap for Fire & Ice!

Family Ties, Knots, And Other Such Stuff....

My sister asked me to do a few pics for her, my neice Kayleigh, and boyfriend Shawn, and how could I say no? So I shot them in my basement, and the pics turned out great. Here's a look....

My neice is such a photogenic kid, but not much for posing, so I told her to just be crazy and this is what I got......

Did I mention that this wonderful family is now being "officially" blended? Shannon and Shawn are now officially engaged, and I couldn't be happier for them, and for Kayleigh. What a beautiful family!

We were fortunate enough this August to be able to "get our feet wet" with photographing weddings. Isaac's sister Jenifer and her husband Dion tied the knot on August 15th, and we were there to capture all of it!

Walking on to the dance floor for the first dance as husband & wife

The cake topper was so neat! Jenny was glad to get this pic as it broke shortly after....

Two of the cutest flower girls ever! (OK, maybe I'm just a teensy bit biased, the blonde is my daughter after all, and the brunette my neice...)

Cake cutting Newfie style, Dion?

Jen & Dion, you guys are a beautiful couple, and we are so glad to see you so happy. You had a beautiful day, and here's to more beautiful ones to come!

...He's so damned cute I don't know how I couldn't, a million times! Maybe I'm biased, but I think my son Ethan is one of the most beautiful newborns I've ever seen, right from the top of his red head to his wrinkly little toes. I realized time is slipping away, as it does faster and faster with each baby it seems, and I wanted to get some newborn pictures done before he's too big to look "newborn" anymore. Lareina offered to do the shoot for me, because really, I think, Auntie Reina was just looking for an excuse to snuggle my fusser! Her pictures are gonna make mine look like they were taken on a Polaroid, I'm sure, but it was a blast just to be able to shoot alongside her.

Getting prepped for the basket pics - he peed on her backdrop! So I gave her one of my stinky garbage bags to take it home in. I'll buy you some laundry soap, Reina.
