Cheryl Tiegs - Southern Ontario Portrait Photographer

My first Celebrity photoshoot!

I got the opportunity to shoot Cheryl Tiegs for the upcoming cover of Forever Young News

We only had a short few minutes with her before she had to do an interview, so I kept it simple. Luckily the hotel room provided some nice window light and Cheryl of course was a pro! She gave me a slew of different poses with ease.

I have to say, at 63 years young, she still looks great!

Here's a few of my faves from the short session.

MOVIE NIGHT - Southern Ontario Event Photographer

This was a fun promotion with a great cause. Eastgate Square in Stoney Creek asked me to capture its Family Movie Night at the mall. The flick of the evening was a classic for families: E.T. The Extra Terrestrial. One of my all-time faves. E.T himself even made an appearance!
The price of admission was a non-perishable food donation collected by volunteers from the Salvation Army. In return, movie goers also got a few treats to enjoy and a complimentary umbrella in the event that Mother Nature had other plans. She was kind, however, and it was the perfect evening to watch a movie under the stars.
Staff set up a giant inflatable screen and there was plenty of seating for everyone.
As the sun set, the movie began, and a great time was had by all!

Thanks go out to the management and staff of Eastgate Square, and the volunteers of the Salvation Army for collecting the Food donations.

Here's some shots of the evening:

Centre On Barton Food Pavilion Opening Day

The Centre on Barton has gone through a major renovation. The old mall was torn down and in place was built a brand new, modern open air pedestrian friendly plaza.
Part of the new design included a separate food pavilion, providing a wonderful, bright and fresh area for shoppers to enjoy a quick bite while they are out.

I was asked to capture the events of the opening day for the new building. Excited patrons waited eagerly in line outside for a chance to see the new eating area and enjoy an early morning meal. Everyone who showed up early received a gift bag to mark the occasion.

Congratulations goes out to the management and staff of the centre on Barton for a successful opening day!

Childrens Charity Golf Tournament — Southern Ontario Event Photographer

Last week I volunteered to take team photos at a children's charity golf tournament involving business owners from the leisure boating industry. They were a great bunch of people and fun to photograph. I didn't get many action shots as I was there primarily to make sure I got a shot of all 36 teams together, so I had to plant myself at one hole to make sure I got them all as they played through. I had also hoped to have had access to a golf cart to whiz around the course to take some other shots, but they were short on carts, so that wasn't possible either.
All in all, it was a beautiful day for golf though, and they group raised over $24,000 for Children's Charity.. and really that's all that matters.
Here's a few shots from the day


They had several special 'contest' holes all over the course to add to the fun, including this 'closest to the keg' hole. The golfer who got their drive closest won a keg of beer! Not a bad prize at all I say.
