Just the 2 of us...
The Stewart's came in for their family portrait, but also wanted some great images of the kids. The portrait was taken right here in our studio. This panel of the 2 kids was created for them.
The neat thing about the little girls dress is that it was made from her moms wedding dress material and beading. What a special keepsake for her, something she'll treasure for many years to come!

Storyboard panels are one of the many great products we carry. It gives you the chance to display several images from your session in one place, and really can create a story of the session.

Mother/Daughter Display at Comox Mall
First of all, I'd like to invite you to view our Mother/Daughter Tribute 2009 Display, which is on display at the Comox Mall until June 23rd.
Next, I'd like to share one of our mother and daughter sessions. Dawn came in with her daughters and Jerry captured some beautiful images of the 3 of them together, and some stunning ones of the girls alone. I love this image it shows the closeness they share, they look relaxed, and you can tell they are having fun!
Thank-you for all who participated in this years event, it was great to work with you and to create lasting memories of you and the special women in your life!

A day at the beach!
When Jerry came back to the studio from this shoot, he was really excited! He was excited to put the images on the computer, and to work his magic to get this amazing image. He had a vision of what this image would look like, and did it ever turn out great!
This images is an HDR (High Dynamic Range) image, the same portrait is taken at multiple exposures creating different lights. Then the images are placed together to create 1 image. With this technique, as you can see, you get a lot of definition in the surroundings (the clouds, the wood, mountains etc.)
We have this image up in the studio in a great canvas wrap if you are wanting to stop in and check it out, and if you want to see some more of Jerry's HDR images, check out www.vansportraits.com and go to the "something else" gallery.
