Niigan Inaabin 2010

We've enjoyed covering this annual event for about three years now. Youth from across Treaty 3 are given an opportunity to explore careers through workshops, presentations and booths. Thanks to our awesome beautiful friend Vivian from Shooniiyaa wa biitong for hiring us again. This year, my friend Brent helped me shoot the three-day event. Joy was busy on another project in Thunder Bay. You can see some of Brent's awesome work here: youngthunderbird.blogspot.com

Blueprint for the Future

We know it's been a long while since our last update.
As many can sympathize with, life does march on despite our best intentions.
We've been busy, professionally+personally.

This is a recent event we covered here in Thunder Bay. The lighting was amazing in the ballroom. We were hired by the National Aboriginal Achievement Foundation to cover a large youth career fair titled Blueprint for the Future. While it might be needless to say: We had a blast! The students were a lot of fun+super curious about our role there.

Synchronized Swimming

This was a first for us. We've never shot anything remotely similar to synchronized swimming, so it was definitely a challenge. We'll be investing in some longer lenses in the New Year in time for the Spring Watershow. For us, it's all about getting facial expressions and not being able to do much of that really pushed us to come up with compelling images. That's probably a good thing because it forces us to shoot better.

Thanks to our awesome sports-mom friend Jody for inviting us poolside. Her beautiful daughter Maddie is a talented swimmer.

Catherine+Touchan's Beautiful Family

I know it's been awhile since we updated our blog. It's been an incredibly busy two months.

We've relocated to Thunder Bay, Ont., as of Nov. 2. So lots of packing+unpacking while getting used to our new surroundings. It was a little rough for a bit as changes are never easy especially with a big family in tow. But things are settling down just enough for us to relax now and again.

Recently we did a couple of sessions – the first was a family session with Catherine+Touchan and their beautiful children. The second was an event, a first for us. We covered a synchronized swimming show and it was definitely a challenge. We'll be posting images from that very soon.

Just a little update: We are beginning to work on an exciting new project that involves a lot of multimedia work, so be sure to check back for images/videos from that. We'll be working on that over the next couple of months with completion slated for Jan. 31, 2010.

In the meantime have a look at some images from Catherine+Touchan's family session :)
