Yesterday we had the privilege of having Patricia job shadow at the studio. We had her help with setting up our first appointment of the day, then model for Holly as she was testing some lighting. The rest of the day was spent with Mike learning marketing, customer service, Social media and photoshop. The following image was retouched completely by Patricia. She is an amazing young lady.
I had an amazing time out Charm Plus’ Northern Model Search back on February 12th held in Sudbury. I super excited to picked as one of Sudbury’s best photographers to judge this event, along with Rob Provencher, James Hodgins, Erik Lovin, and Alfred Boyd. I must tell ya….it was a total honour to be among friends, peers and mentors. I choose 5 models from the 100+ that participated to come into the studio for a complimentary photo shoot. We have since had Tecla come in for her complimentary photo shoot. She was so nervous sounding on the phone when she booked her session. She was unsure of what she wanted to do, what kind of look she wanted, she just told me that she had no clue what she wanted to do. After a brief talk about my ideas and thoughts, Tecla was pumped, super excited and ready for this photo shoot. Here are a few images from her session.
Beautiful and unique, a total combination of outer and inner beauty.
When our make up artist Kristen came to me asking to use the studio for an up and coming wedding make up trial, I gladly said yes. I love having new people come into the studio to see what we can do. As Kristen’s client Anne was leaving, I asked her if we could use her for a quick test shot. I needed to test my light for the Sudbury Woman’s show Fabulous over 40 contest winners. I took the first shot of Anne, made some minor adjustments to my lighting and the second shot was what we ended up with. Anne was so amazed at how easy it was to capture this image Thanks Anne for allowing me to capture this beautiful image. Can’t wait to see you back in the studio.

We have just now introduced our new Pillow Talk Boudoir Sessions. Shot exclusively by Holly.

Perfect for Valentines Day or your Groom to be.
Whether it’s flirty, mischievous, naught or sweet, say it with our Pillow Talk boudoir portrait session for Valentines Day, your wedding night, or any day. It’s the perfect gift for that someone special in your life, including you.
Pixatron Photo Studio’s Pillow talk Boudoir sessions allow ladies of all ages, sizes, and modeling experiences to express themselves with our professional and intimate photo shoot. From start to finish, the entire experience operates under careful collaboration between the subject and the photographer. Pixaton’s leading female boudoir photographer Holly has over 3 years of experience photographing everything from newborn babies to boudoir. She has also been trained by Michael Blinn LPPO and has formal boudoir training, honing her skills in this fine art.
Throughout the 45 minute session, music will flow through the air of our studio inspiring subjects as they preen and model alongside of our elegant furniture and indulge in our new bedroom set. The photographer will helpthe subjects look flattering with suggestions and encouragement to find their individual sensuality, be it in lingerie, a men’s button down shirt, or that sexy low cut tube dress. Ladies can dare to be bold by drawing risque attire or dare others to imagine, through subtle displays of peek-a-boo curiosity.
After the shoot, the subject can relax while viewing their images in our private booth. Once they have chosen 10 images that best tell their story, and after some light retouching and stylization, images are printed and displayed in a beautiful little black peekaboo book. Our newly empowered and confident clients can now share their flattering fine art imagery with husbands, boyfriends, and friends or just keep them for themselves.

Well we now have the Trash the Dress Contest winner from the 2011 fall bridal show. This years fall bridal show was a hit. We met with lots of brides, bridesmaids, and mothers of the bride. I must say Bill puts on an amazing show, I am so happy to be a part of it every year. We had over 200 brides come through the doors and over 160 ballots filled out for our free TTD session. We had a lot of people ask us what these session’s are all about?Do you really trash your expensive wedding dress? Well, the answer is yes an no. Yes it can be trashed if that’s what you really want. But in reality it just gets a bit dirtier then it did on your wedding day. The locations are way cooler, and we always try to get the bride in the water for some amazing kick butt images. More or less, it’s a chance to wear that beautiful expensive wedding dress again. You’ll never wear it again, and chances are, you daughter isn’t going to wear it on her wedding day either. All of our TTD clients have had their dress dry cleaned for no more then it would cost someone who didn’t do one of these sessions. And trust me, our brides love these session. We take your beauty to the next level. High fashion, glamour, seductive, and magazine quality images, are the looks I’m going for in these session. It’s never too late to do a trash the dress session, weather your a newly wed or if you’ve been married for 10 years. These sessions make you feel glamours and sexy and they’re just plain old FUN!
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR TRASH THE DRESS CONTEST WINNER!
STACEY BRUSH
Well today at approximately 4pm (Sept. 20th 2011), Cindy and I had to say goodnight for ever to our sweet Shaggy.
We got Shaggy 5 and a half years ago. When I found him, he was cold, starving and almost dead on that -30 winter night. He had been miss treated, malnourished and could barely walk. I took him home, to warm him up, feed him and give him some much need love. Cindy immediately fell in love with him. Shaggy had a lot of issues at the beginning, but he was such a gentle dog, who allowed Cindy and I, two strangers, to love and care for him. We tried adopting him out through PetSave once he was health enough, however it just didn’t work out and we decided that we would keep him since we had become greatly attached to him. We nick named him “the PIRATE”, as he had a very deep voice and vocalized often. And yes dogs can talk. If you don’t believe me just come over to our place and ask Chewy to get you a pillow. He’ll get you one and then and tell you he got it for you.
It took awhile for our 5 year old springer (Chewbacca) to warm up to Shaggy, but he did. Jealousy has always and issue between both boys, by our love for them was shared equally. It’s amazing what dogs learn from each other, Shaggy tought Chewy to bark at loud truck and quads, and Chewy tough Shaggy how to pee with out lifting his leg…Chewy would steel packaged material off the counter rip it up and Shaggy would get rid the eveidance :)
It’s weird how pets become a special part of your life, especially when you can’t have children. They become your children. And we love them like we would our own childern. We will miss Shaggy’s classic priate growls, his famous after dinner rolls on his bed and his crazy fur faces. I’ve never seen a dog that loved his bed as much as he did. As tough as this decision has been for Cindy and I, we know that it is the best for him. He was not suffering at the moment, but his breathing had become more and more shallow every day, and he had no strength in his back legs. He had to be carried up and sometimes down the stairs and he was very,very tired. He came into our life with a smile on his cute shaggy face, and that’s the way we want to remember him leaving our lives, smiling, like the good, gentle, happy, shaggy dog that he is.
Chewy will miss his partner in crime, and his brother.
Shaggy it has been a true honor to have been your Daddy. As we told you before you went goodnight, your mommy and daddy love you and we will see you again.
LOVE YOU BUDDY.
Last photo of Shaggy about two weeks ago.
Here are a few images of our Shaggers from years gone by:

This was the morning after that cold night that we got Shaggy, gave him a warm almost new bed and some yummy numbilinos’s (dog food)
and one with Lindsay. He was such a gentle giant.
About a month after we had him….putting on weight and very happy.

Shaggy loved playing with balls, and having his fur cut short so he could see.
This was his curious face with Yoda ears.
His first Christmas with us. Those who remember, this was our Christmas card that year.
At our new house….no rope and lots of room to run.
One from 2007. Just before we moved.
Christmas card photo at the new house.
A gift for Cindy….of our boys…
Christmas 2008 the first year I came up with this Santa shot. This too was our Christmas card
Last year with Lindsay….this was our card.
These are just a few images that we will never forget. Shaggy, you run, bark and swim as much as you want now. We love you.
Shaggy Blinn (March 2, 2006 – Sept 20, 2011) Always loved.
Today is very important day for Cheryl and Peter, today they devote their love for one another, exchange beautiful vows, and forever seal their love through the sacrament of marriage. Congratulation you two. Can’t wait to start capturing these very special memories.
This last one I have been wanting to do for some time now. I like the fact that Cheryl and Peter fit the part to become a cover for a romance novel.
Our Hot Shots contest will be extended till the end of the month. That’s right if you didn’t get a chance to enter and get your session in before Sept 2nd, now’s your chance. We are extending it till the end of Sept. Remember the the Grand Prize is an iPad2. How cool is that.

(These two have never modeled a day in their lives, honest)









BTW, for those of you that know me well, you know that I tend to fall all the time.
Well this session went with our incident. We had to cross a creek to get to the last location and as we were come back across, don’t ya know, I fell in the drink. LOL. Yeap…all my equipment was saved and the only think hurt was my pride that I had to have these two beautiful ladies help me out of the water. Oh well, I guess it could have been worse,eh?
For those clients that love it when we bring the ducks into the studio, but always wonder what happens to them when we’re done with them. Well…. we give them to a good home. It’s actually a local farm that takes them in every year. And through out the year the owner will send me progress photos of the chicks and ducks. Here are our once baby ducks from the spring session this year.
Today Sonia will marry the love of her life, Daniel. It was only a few years ago that I met this beautiful couple while shooting Daniel’s brothers wedding. Congratulation Sonia and Daniel on this beautiful day. I look forward to capturing all the memories of this very special day as well as meeting all of your family from the old country.
I had the privilege of capturing Julie and Chad’s love for one another. They are getting married this fall. I shot Julie’s sisters wedding last year, where I first met Julie as she was the maid of honour. Congrats once again Julie and Chad, I look forward to capturing all the memories of your special day.
Yesterday I hooked up with two local photographers and good friends James Hodgins and Rob Provencher. To head out to Manitoulin Island for crap shoot session Taylor and Christina. Taylor is James’ high school senior from last year and is an amazing print model. Rob brought his senior model Christina . Manitoulin Island offered a different change of scenery for us. Along with fellow photographers Marc from Timmins,, Angie from the big town of Espanola , we toured around Manitoulin looking for cool (literally with temps in high 30′s) spots that we could grab some dynamic kick butt images. Since James and I booth shoot with Canon and Rob and the rest were shooting with Nikons using the Nikon lighting system we paired off in groups of two to start shooting at each location. Here are is one quick one of both Taylor and Christina from a location in the Manitou River close to Micheals Bay.
