Summer Fun! {Family Session}

This summer I had a fantastic fun session with a wonderful family in Toronto. We took their two kids "G" two and "L" just a few months, and their very sweet and well behaved dog Primo to the park for some fun in the sun. Here are just a few of the images from that morning!
    
 












I had a great time working with this family and can't wait to get together with them again in the future!

Catching Up - Spring Photo Session at Blazing Colours Farm

I have known April at Blazing Colours Farm for about 3 years now. Each year I have travelled out to Wellandport to photograph that years crop of foals and any new mares that have been added to her coloured sporthorse breeding program, as they go through the RPSI inspection. This year I was delighted to squeeze in an extra photo session to take photos of the first year's crop of babies now that they have grown! Here are some of the many many pictures that were taken that day! (Doesn't she breed just gorgeous horses?!)

  

   

   













The above is a personal favourite shot of mine, and also happens to be of a personal favourite horse of mine! I have been threatening to put her in my trunk when I pack up to go home since she was only a few months old. I guess now with her standing well over 16hh its not too much of a threat :P



Of course at the end of the session we just couldn't resist going out into the field and playing with this years group of babies!





April has seriously got some of the most friendly horses I have ever met! They ALL come up for a visit and a scratch as soon as you walk out into the field! More from this RPSI inspection to follow!

Another Apology and the Sam Puc Tour

Whew! What a busy summer this has been. Its been crazy, exhausting and a lot of fun, and I am looking forward to having it continue on into the fall and holiday season!

I promise I will be uploading some samples from some of the sessions that I have done recently. I know I have been slacking and I am sorry, but I promise that the little dolls I have been shooting all summer (along with some beautiful 4 legged creatures) are well worth the wait!

One thing that I absolutely couldn't wait to blog about was my recent trip to see the "Babies and Bellies" tour with Sam (Sandy) Puc. What an incredibly inspiring woman! My friend Kelly of Kelly Temple Photography and I went to see her seminar and we both just kept looking at each other and shaking our heads in a mixture of disbelief that one person could accomplish as much as she has in a 1 year period and those light light bulb moments that make you go "seriously, how did I NOT think of that?!"

It was wonderful and Sam has completely lit a fire under my business. There will be some great new things both big and small happening at Annya Miller Photography over the next few months and for 2010 and I am totally excited about it. I am also looking forward to my upcoming newborn and maternity sessions as I have a whole bag of new tricks to try out!
