Dana Ruprecht of Ashes of Roses and my beautiful wife asked me to take some relaxed portraits of her that she could use for an article that was being written about her in the Hamilton Spectator. Dana was the lead actress in a play called "Chapter Two" which just wrapped up at Theatre Burlington. The article was equal parts about Dana's history in acting and the role she was bringing to life in Chapter Two.
If you are interested in the article, it can be found here.
Cheers!

It seems like just yesterday I was posting some pictures of Oliver in his first couple days of life. Well, Oliver is now six months old and I'd thought it was time to post some new ones. Dana and I took Oliver to Gage Park for some fun under the trees and in the gazebo. Oliver was awesome during the entire shoot, content with just doing his own thing. I guess this is all second-hat to him as he's had a lens stuck in his face since birth!
Anyways, enjoy the pictures below.

Most of you know by now that back in November, Dana and I welcomed our first son Oliver into our family. Oliver has been a real joy to have as a son and I look forward to watching him grow up. These shots below were taken in his first three days of being in this world. You will see that right from the very beginning, he was alert, and quite strong. Although, from most of the pictures below...it looks like he likes to sleep :)

In February of 2006, I was fortunate enough to shoot a play called Ring Round The Moon. The photos were used in the community section of a local newspaper and were given to the director as a gift from her actors and actresses. This play featured many extravagant set designs and very moody lighting. I made these photographs during their dress rehearsal where I had free roam of the theatre. All in all, it was a fun play to shoot and the director was very moved by my results.

As most of you will know, Dana and I got married in Scotland in 2006. To solidify our plans before our big day in October, we took a 4-day mini trip to Edinburgh in May of that year. Scotland is a beautiful country entrenched in history. The picturesque cities, rolling hills and beautiful scenery makes picture making easy as pie. Below is just a sample of some of the beauty we experienced while we were there.

As most of you that know me already know, my wife and I had a son named Oliver back in November. To commemorate Dana's pregnancy, we took the time to do a Maternity session and make some photographs. The setting (in this case, the cottage) perfectly fit the style and feel we were going for and we were really able to capture the essence of Dana's pregnancy. As you will see in the photographs below, Dana really had the "pregnancy glow" happening. She looked absolutely stunning (in my opinion).

Ashes of Roses (ashesofroses.ca) is owned and operated by my lovely wife Dana. He "handcrafted vintage-inspired designs" are unique and truly magnificant. She has participated in boutique craft shows, taken custom orders, and sells her product online. So when she asked me to take some product shots of her work, it was an easy answer. Please have a look below for some images I have made of her work for her most recent craft show entry.
