Portraits in the Snow | Sarnia / Lambton County Portrait Photographers

I will confess, some of the following photos are an adaptation of ideas from some I have seen on Pinterest. They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. However, I'm still never sure if using another person's idea is allowed or not. I think it must be because there is never any way one person can copy another person's photo exactly. There are waaay too many things that factor into it, like clothing, the subject, lighting, location, etc. Who's to even say one might not have come up with the almost same idea all on their own anyway? At least I'm admitting to the fact that I like someone else's work enough to imitate it.

I love having readily available subjects for my creative muses.

Because we remember moments, not days...

A Canadian Christmas | Sarnia / Lambton County Portrait Photographers

I did some studio work this week. It's good practice and happily my subjects are always readily available for me. Our daughters have been in Canada six months now. We're all happy to be celebrating Christmas as a family of nine! {Some of us just show it more than others ;o)}
