Erin & Carli - Graduation with a Twist

Every Grade 8 girl wants to look beautiful for grad and have some pictures taken to remember this big event in their lives. For best friends Erin and Carli, it was an adventure indeed to have their photos taken. It was decided before hand that we weren't going to go to the normal grad spots that everyone else was going to. I definitely had other places in mind for these two creative, lovely girls! We actually ended up having two separate shoots - the first was with the girls in their everyday clothes, the next a week later with them all dressed to impress right before Grad. The spots for photos were chosen to show a real contrast from the formality of all a Grad can be! This approach allowed the girls' free spirits and "their funky attitude" to come out with no hesitation! Definitely an experience to remember for them!

Thank you Erin & Carli for great memories!

A day with Kira-Jade

Oh what a day! Country singer/model and actress Kira-Jade asked me to assist her with some more natural looking photos...just my specialty! She has lots of high fashion shots, but wanted to get some pics in her portfolio that would show her country side. Model+high fashion = moderately unapproachable...Country singer = natural and approachable...that was my rationale going into this shoot with KJ. We spent the day together, along with my wonderful assistant Erin. What fun we had trekking around the town in search of the perfect spots for shots! The picture above was one of those exquisite moments that only come along once in a while. KJ was going along with my crazy creative ways in the doorway, when out of nowhere the wind swirled up and up with it went Kira's hair! I took a really quick shot (thank you Nikon D70s!) and proceeded to step back, look up in the sky and say thank you to the photo spirits above! We all got goosebumps from this amazing moment in our day! It was wonderful to watch Kira-Jade finally let her guard down and relax in front of my camera. A beautiful person inside and out! More of my favourite shots below from our time together! Check out my website for a slideshow I did of our day together!

Welcome to my new blog! I needed a place to write! As my new website www.kerrysklips.com showcases my photos, it doesnt leave too much room for the written word! Sooo, I find myself here and wanting to share my adventures with you - my family, friends and clients! Enjoy the journey, check back often! Warmest regards, Kerry
