Maternity: Jess + Justin (Sneak Peak)
March 6, 2010 | Filed Under Shoots | 4 Comments
Last weekend I had a chance to catch up with an old friend, meet a new one, and capture some great photos for them at this stage in their life. Justin and I have known each other since we were probably, 10? Maybe younger? So when I found out Justin and his girlfriend, Jessica were expecting, I KNEW I’d be taking some maternity shots for them. Mostly cause he’s like a little brother and I tend to like to bully him like that.
Little did I know that Jess actually used to ride at my coach’s barn, and since I originally started out taking equine related photos, we decided an equine maternity session was just what we needed! I’m really excited for these shots, and wanted to get a few up here before Jess’s baby shower tomorrow. PS – They are expecting a little girl, and I cannot wait to meet little Jamie-lee Rachel Beers very soon, and can already tell I’ll be seeing her on a pony some day!
Also want to give a thank you to The Wilson’s (Wayne, Marsha and Shonda) for the use of Springwater Stables for this shoot! And my trusty assistant/horse groom/ear pricker Danielle.
And now, the pictures! (Which is really the reason we are here!)

Wedding: Nicola + Chris

As I was going through getting pictures ready for the Gala Expo that I talked about in my last post, it dawned on me that I NEVER blogged these pictures. Which astounds me. Seriously.
I love these pictures so much, and am quite proud of them. I want to thank Danique Fisher of Century Classic Photography, who was kind enough to invite me down for the day, to shoot this wedding with her. As well as Nicola and Chris for approving of it. 
Now instead of babbling on, cause I’m really not so good at writing about this, I’ll just put some pictures in it’s place. Feel free to leave comments, I’d love to know what you think!

Well, it’s the end of a lovely Sunday. My back hurts from hard concrete floors, my toes have blisters on top of blisters, and I’m trying my hardest to keep my eyes open as I right this I’m so tired. But it was all worth it!! And for those of you who were there, you know why!
Taken with my iPhone as I forgot my camera at home. Ha, only the photographer would forget her camera.
Today was the long awaited ACS Formals – Gala Expo! And we had a blast! So many people went through our booths! Brides and Grooms to be, Mothers of Brides, Maids of Honour, High School Grads, you name it you came! I want to thank each and everyone of you for stopping by, picking up a card, and entering our draw.
Our lucky winner was Renelle Leger! Congratulations to her!
You’ll notice a bit more activity around here this week. Updating, adding more portfolio examples, so on and so forth.
I also want to launch my current Wedding Packages. Those of you that attended today might have seen a preview, so now you can see it all in detail.
… and now is it too early to start planning for next years?

Events: Visit from Trick Factory Customs!

A lot of you know by now that I try to spend as much time as I can with the Bike Klub based out of Bernice MacNaughton High School in Moncton, NB. If you don’t know their story, please feel free to check out their brand new website, designed by yours truly, and read their story, check out the bikes, and visit some of their sponsors. You can also see the past blog post about my photos of the Bike Klub and their bikes being featured in the Spring 2009 issue of Achieve magazine.
Anyway, back to the point of this blog post. The Bike Klub was paid a visit too by members of Trick Factory Customs of New Westminster, British Columbia this weekend. Trick Factory Customs, as simply described on their Facebook group, “we do all things custom. Choppers, hot rods, boats.” Rob and Tim landed on Saturday and spent the weekend teaching the Bike Klub kids so many things you couldn’t list them all, but their main project was a custom gas tank for Roxanne.
I managed to spend some time with the Klub on Saturday and snapped some shots.

Some creative brainstorming..
Rob starting Roxanne’s tank. Probably one of the coolest processes to watch.
Tim teaching some of the club some welding techniques.
Another photoshoot with the Bike Klub is planned for later this month as well designs for vinyl display banners, as they prepare for the 2010 Atlantic Motorcycle & ATV Show at the Moncton Coliseum. Keep checking back for those pictures.

Well, Christmas is behind us, and December only has a few days left. I just wanted to take this time to thank each and every person who has visited this site, to all of my clients from 2009 and to my family for their support. I hope the Holidays are full of friends and family, and you all stay safe traveling and celebrating.
I will be “out of the office” until January 4th, as I am visiting family in Connecticut. I can still be reached by email at jill.renton@scuffedboots.ca but please understand that there may be some delay in response.
Stay tuned to 2010 with new pricing, new design work, and some photo shoots I have done over the last month! I also have a special 2009 in review slideshow in the works to showcase some of the shoots that did not make it up onto the pages of my blog.
All the best!
