What a fantastic day! We started out with two of the cutest sisters you’d ever want to meet and finished with one of the top fitness trainers/models in the industry. In between well, they were all spectacular. Editing is not quite finished….soon! Be patient.

A couple of teasers to ease the anxiety….Enjoy!

UFE Halloween Mayhem 2009

johnrdouglas — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:38:29 +0000

What an event!!! I can see how when done properly these events can be addictive. UFE is a great organization.

Sean Everingham has outdone himself. The show was remarkable, more competitors, the best venue and a killer staff.

Congrats to all the competitors and to the winners, best luck for the Nationals in November!

johnrdouglas — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:03:25 +0000

This wedding was a real treat for me. Rebecca and Steve were gracious and elegant. The location was magnificent. If you have a chance visit The Scottish Rite in Hamilton. It is a fantastic site.

Everyting was perfect, the location, the weather, the “Tango” Rebecca and Steve danced. You couldn’t wish for a better day!

I Won’t Go Back… not to April. Let’s start at October 9, 2009.

I started off my month with what will become a great tradition. Oktoberfist. The 2009 edition was all it hyped and more! Syd Vanderpoole of Boxing by Syd is definitely a great showman.

We enjoyed great fights from this areas best amateur fighters and witnessed the Pro announcements for two of our local fighters. Julius “Ceasar” Bunda and Junior “The Show” Dann are now Pro Fighters. Upcoming matches are scheduled and should not be missed.

Judi, John and I are proud to be affiliated with Boxing by Syd and the programs that are being run through this excellent organization.

Finally… Edits are almost complete!!!!

It’s been a busy season for us! We have photographed an awful lot of events and had quite a few studio and location shoots.

I am happy to see a light at the end of the edit tunnel. Most images and videos have been posted. Printing is well on it’s way and we are ready to start enjoying a little time to ourselves. Just a little, mind!

Check back to see the listings regularly.

Sorry everyone, my bad! It’s not that I haven’t wanted to but there are only 24 hours in a day, I think. Now the fun begins! I will start at the beginning, right after the end of the last post and carry on as if nothing has prevented me from posting at all. Enjoy the chaos!!!!
