Your help is needed

Three weeks ago my best friend, OPP Const. Mike Poirier was hit by a drunk driver while on duty. While lucky to be alive, his recovery will be a long one. His wife, Lisa, is pregnant with their second child, and they will need all the help they can get this winter as Lisa will be limited in the help she can give Mike because she is expecting, and Mike will be concentrating on his healing.

If you are able to help them, contributions can be made at any TD Canada branch in Canada to account 2916 6042440 to Pat Blake in trust for Mike Poirier.

In honour of Mike's profession, and to express my gratitude for all of those who keep us safe, until the end of November all Police, Fire, Paramedic and Military personnel will receive a complimentary sitting fee, and I will contribute $25 from each session to Mike and Lisa. I feel that a family portrait is the perfect way to share my appreciation for those that put others first so often.

Turks and Caicos Trash the Dress

Kim and Colin wanted to do a trash the dress session, so on Friday we went out and created more photographs in the ocean and at the pool.





Colin is a good friend, and he's also a photographer. You can view more photos on his blog at http://colingemmell.blogspot.com/

Turks and Caicos Part II

I made it safely. Here are a couple of photographs from around the resort. Today we spent the day walking around and planning the wedding photography, which is happening tomorrow. This is a huge advantage to bringing your photographer with you to your destination wedding: you can work very closely with them to ensure that the day is captured exactly the way you want it to be.

It's hot here - the humidex right now is 45-degrees Celcius! The nice thing about this resort is that there are a ton of fantastic locations for photography, no matter what the weather is doing. Keep checking back, I'll try to post some wedding photos durning the day tomorrow.
