Handsome Baby Gabe

June 9th, 2010

A while back I enlisted the help of Chrissy Poitras of Spark Box Studio to make me some baby props. I had been thinking of new ways to branch out my photography, and in full honesty have never had much desire to own my own studio, but if I could take the camera to them, then why not…

I had learned through the grapevine that Nick and Ashleigh were expecting and contacted them about being sort of a Guinea Pig to my new venture. I am still trying to figure this all out, so I welcome your comments and suggestions of improvement :D

But without further ado… welcome baby Gabriel George James, born 12:33 a.m., Saturday, May 8th at Belleville General Hospital, weighing 7 lbs 2 oz and 20 3/4 inches long.

Christian and Carmen are Married

May 31st, 2010

For months I’ve waited, anxiously for the day to arrive… it finally did, Wedding Season was once again upon us.

I first met Christian and Carmen last year. They had been referred to me by a girl who I went to high school with that I had scoured my Facebook fan page, and enjoyed my photos enough to share them. I can’t tell you how much this excited me. As a photographer and in most businesses, you count on your referrals, and to have one from someone who I haven’t talked to in years was very complimentary for me. Thank you Krista!

Christian and Carmen had fallen in love with the Terra Cotta Inn, in Caledon. I was ecstatic at the thought of photographing at a place that my parents had taken me as a child. I grew up in Caledon and the Inn was the spot for wings and a few games of darts. It delighted me to start my season off in a place so close to my heart.

The rain was intermittent in the morning, but stopped just long enough to explore the outside grounds of the Inn and capture some wonderful moments. Thank you so much Christian and Carmen for letting me be a part of your beautiful day. All the best as you begin this new life together.

Happy New Year and Congrats!

January 3rd, 2010

Well, 2010 has finally arrived and much sooner than I could have imagined. That said, I am so excited as I know wedding season will soon be upon us! The kick-off will actually begin two weeks today with the Kingston Bridal Show on January 17th. This will be my first year in Kingston and I am so excited to meet all the couples and brides-to-be! All going well the following weekend I will be returning to the Quinte Mall Bridal Show, which is always a fabulous event!

I would also like to extend my congratulations to any and all couples that got engaged over the Holiday Season! I hope you will stop by and visit the Adelita Rose booth if you are attending either of the two shows. I look forward to meeting you all!

All the best in the New Year!

Brad and Beckie are Engaged!

December 6th, 2009

About a week back I was on a walk with my dogs; the light was beautiful, and although I’d walked the trail countless times before I saw it differently that day and fell in love with the spot. I instantly wanted to shoot. Maybe it was from a slight with drawl of not shooting as much as I had all summer. Either way I asked Brad and Beckie, one of my 2010 couples if they would consider going there for their engagement shoot, I was so pleased when they agreed.

So on Saturday we met at Miss Lily’s in Picton and headed out to the trail; three dogs in tote. We did most of the photos on the trail before heading out to Lake on The Mountain.

Thank you so much Brad and Beckie for trusting my judgement, you are such a beautiful and natural couple! I can’t wait till you tie the knot on June 26th of next year!

Looking Forward

November 30th, 2009

So first off, I have to apologize for my serious slack on updating my blog lately. I took a wee bit of a breather after wrapping up wedding season late last month and am now gearing up and looking forward to 2010. I will be kicking off the wedding drum on Sunday, January 17th where you will find me at the Kingston Bridal Show. This will be my first year at this show and I couldn’t be more excited to experience it.

I am so excited for next year’s wedding season and can’t believe how quickly the year is booking up… on that note please, please don’t wait till it’s too late and your day is taken :D

Taking a step back though I am happy to announce that I will be launching into Boudoir shoots this coming holiday season, so if you are looking for that extra special gift for your special someone please fill in the contact form. These will also make an amazing Valetine’s day present.

Until then I hope you will keep checking back for updates and new posts!

A Bittersweet End

October 20th, 2009

On Saturday, I joined Curt and Emily as they declared their love for one another with the vows of marriage.

It was a slightly bittersweet day for me; as always the wedding was beautiful and the couple looked amazing, but this was my last wedding of the season, and I was sad to see it end.

We started the day off at the beautiful Clarion Inn and Suites hotel in Belleville’s downtown before moving to the Greek Hall for the ceremony.

After a beautiful ceremony we headed to Sir James Whitney school to capture a few family shots and then wrapped up on the Waterfront trail. Aside from a slightly brisk breeze the day was beautiful, and the fall colours were out in force.

After wrapping up we headed back to the Greek Hall for a beautiful reception and dinner!

Thank you so much Emily and Curt for making my last wedding an amazing day. I wish you both all the best as you start this new chapter in your lives!

Family Fun

October 9th, 2009

So, for awhile now I have been contemplating getting into location family photos. I have had numerous people ask about it and it seems to be the logical next step in the progression of Adelita Rose.

So, that said on Thursday of this week I met up with my Photo-J college classmate Kathryn, husband Eric along with Seth and their beautiful baby girl Miriam who was born February of last year.

We had been planning this for awhile but it was finding the right time for both our schedules. After contemplating locations, we settled on a few spots in and around the Sandbanks Provincial Park, including Lakeshore Lodge.

I am pleased with the outcome and hope Kathryn and Eric are as well. I welcome as many comments as possible as this is a new venture and everything takes time :D

Thanks so much Kathryn and Eric, I hope you had as much fun as I did!
