Flowers Canada – Pick Ontario Commercial Floral Shoot

elma — Wed, 25 May 2011 22:40:42 +0000

As mentioned in the prior post, I had a commercial shoot for Flowers Canada – Pick Ontario. The Watering Can was the perfect back drop for all the sets created by the stylist. It was a very busy day with models coming and going, hairstylist, set-stylist, assistant and ~~(annoying)~~ graphic designer but we accomplished a great deal. While I’m not sure which images will be selected for future promotional material, I thought I would share a few images of all the lovely models I worked with and the beautiful flowers from local growers!

I’m looking forward to working with this team again! Thanks Shawn, Fabiola & models for making it so much fun! Let’s just remember to schedule the photographer a lunch break next time…

Greenhouse Growers Magazine – Commercial photography in Niagara

The best part about this commercial photoshoot that I did for LEGAULT was that when we realized the models hand would not be suitable, we used my daughters! Lucky for us she was with me for this shoot. Check our the back page of the April 2011 Greenhouse growers magazine and be sure to buy your soil from Legualt

Pick Ontario

One of my recent shoots for Pick Ontario resulted in an image that can be widely viewed on print media, banners and more.

I spotted this banner on Victoria Ave in Vineland last week.

and no, it’s not my daughter – although it is another cute little dutch girl

Smithville Christian High School

Back to SDCH this spring to get images for print and promo material. Lucky for me the school is full of good sports as they tolerate me wondering around with my camera and asking them to move desks, look busy, walk slowly, move to the roof edge etc etc

Prins Grow Greenhouses – Statice

Another recent visit to Prins Grow Greenhouses, this time to shoot the statice for promotional material and a image (or two) for the truck. Shooting flowers just never gets old

John Michaels/Simply Beautiful Decor

I was pleasently surprisd when I arrived at John Michaels Banquet Hall in Thorold – the wedding decor and hall looked amazing! Angelica and the team at Simply Beautiful Decor took care of most of the decor seen here. From the chairs to the candle holders on the head tables, no detail overlooked! Every chari tied, every draping draped perfectly. The staff at John Michaels were busy with the food while I was there, and let me tell you – it was a FEAST from what I saw. I wish I could have stayed to admire the decor and enjoy for food for the whole evening…. I’m sure all the 350+ guests at this wedding did!

Wedding Florals and Decor

elma — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 03:26:37 +0000

I’ve really been enjoying my work with My Bouquet and Simply Beautiful this summer. We’ve captured some of the ~~most~~ beautiful florals ~~I have ever seen~~ and gorgeous linens and ~~elaborate~~ decor at some of the finest Niagara venues! (I will add that the owners of these businesses and their staff are the BEST people you would ever have the opportunity to work with!)

These images are from a wedding at Chateau Des Charmes in Niagara on the Lake. Florals by My Bouquet and decor by Simply Beautiful.

This wedding reception was at Inn on the Twenty in Jordan Village. Florals by My Bouquet.

Prior to the reception the ceremony took place in the vineyards at Cave Springs in Beamsville. I thought it was stunning! Total elegance!

I know what you’re thinking – this is a good-looking group.. they are, but they are also great sports and a darn nice bunch of siblings. Thanks guys – I love the results from our shoot. Hopefully you feel the same!

One father and son shot because I love it

To the outside world, we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were/ We know each other’s hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We outside the touch of time. Carla Ortega
