Swimwear Photography – Point Pelee – Shelby Lee

Swimwear Photography with Shelby Lee I like to do as many swimwear photography shoots as possible during the spring/summer seasons. As with many of my beach/swimwear shoots, I love to use Point Pelee National Park. It has many beaches on both east and west sides so morning or evening, the light is useable. We just pick the beach based on sunrise or sunset. My model on this day was Shelby Lee, a gorgeous blonde model who needed images for Maxim's Finest contest. Shelby was super easy to work with, had previous modeling experience and was very receptive to suggestions with posing and expressions. I will definitely be working with Shelby again!

Swimwear with a Gorgeous Blonde Model A swimwear shoot is almost a requirement for anyone serious about modeling. It is the perfect way to show off your figure without being too racy. This model and I have collaborated more than a few times. This time, we decided to do a swimwear shoot at Point Pelee. I do as many swimwear shoots as availability and time permits during the warm months. Finding a Spot We arrived at the beach we intended to shoot at and were immediately shooed away by a family who reserved the beach for the day. We visited two of the other West beaches to see if we could shoot without being…

Model Portfolios – Swimwear – Natalie

Model Portfolios I sometimes work on model portfolios with both aspiring and experienced models. It gives me a great feeling to know I am in some way helping someone else achieve their dreams. Swimwear With Natalie Natalie expressed interest in working with me after our first shoot together at Brunet Park. As I have been looking for a model with Natalie's features and natural beauty, she would be perfect for a beach shoot. It just so happens that Natalie asked if we could do a beach shoot, so we set up a date and planned to meet at the Marsh Boardwalk at Point Pelee National Park. The Photography Plan My first shoot with Natalie…

Beach Portraits – Kaylee – Point Pelee NP

Beach Portraits with Kaylee The subject of today's blog post is Beach Portraits with Kaylee. As with many of my recent subjects, I met Kaylee on social media. We have discussed maybe doing a shoot a couple of times but never met in person. After I posted an availability notice on social media, Kaylee expressed interest in a beach/swimwear shoot. We booked a date and decided on the beach at Point Pelee National Park. Canada's 150th When choosing a location, I figured, why not Point Pelee? The park is free entry for Canada's 150th birthday with celebrations throughout 2017 and free National Parks entry. I have a National Parks pass for the year. Motherhood…

Sandpoint Beach – Nikki Leigh – 2017-06-15

Sandpoint Beach with Nikki Leigh I prefer the views and shooting options of Point Pelee National Park. However, Sandpoint Beach is an okay local option, only 15-20 minutes from downtown Windsor. Better beaches are almost an hour out of the city. The Ride to Sandpoint I picked up Nikki from her place and made our way to the beach. We arrived around 6:30pm and captured a series of shots in natural light. Some of Nikki playing in the water, some standing, sitting, crouching or laying on the sand and some partially in the water. Equipment For this shoot, I mainly used my Canon 5D Mark II and Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS lens. I used…

Portraits – Nelly – Point Pelee Marsh Boardwalk

A few days ago, we met Nelly to shoot portraits on location at one of my favorite locations, Point Pelee National Park. While my main goal was to shoot bikini images for submission to swimwear magazines, I wanted to also shoot a set on the boardwalk. The boardwalk is rich in wood and natural background textures so the images always come out stunning. A little bit of Photoshop magic to polish off the set is all that is required for my natural light style. Below are a few images from the boardwalk set. If you like this set, send me a message or comment on and/or share images you like (please credit me when sharing) and I may be convinced…

Protected: Location Portraiture

Location Portraiture with Leah Taillefer Location Portraiture with natural light is one of my favorite ways to photograph people. Nothing is more fun than a day with a beautiful subject and not having to worry too much about balancing a bunch of lights. A meeting on location with the goal of making some beautiful images was the goal this day! Sharon and I spent a couple of hours at Point Pelee National Park with our model. That model, a fellow photographer and model. The plan was to do some natural light portraits on location and since I knew we would do the boardwalk, I planned to shoot with natural light. It was a nice summer afternoon around…
