I had the great pleasure the other evening of capturing Aimee and Shawn’s engagement in their home town of Espanola. We hit two beautiful location, both on the water. Aimee and Shawn are getting married this Oct and I can’t wait to capture all the beautiful memories of their wedding day.
Congrats to Tammy, Kevin and Ella, on the arrival of baby Logan. Looking forward to working with Logan in the studio.
WOW!!! Well it’s been a month already in my new career as a FULL TIME photographer and photography studio owner …….I’m lovin’ it 
As I go through the transition as the new owner of Pixatron Photo Studio I begin to realize all the cool new things that I can offer to my continuing clients as well as the new comers. I started out my photography practice back in 2005. That’s right 2005. So that makes it 5 years or so now that I have taking photographs with an SLR camera. I opened my own photography business in 2007 as Michael Blinn Photography, due to the over abundance of people wanting to hire me to photograph special events in their lives. Since then I have been accepted by the PPOC (Professional Photographers of Canada) as a Licentiate Professional Photographer of Ontario. And I have national accreditation’s in wedding photography and children’s portraits. I also received my first provincial merit awards for one of my TTD prints entitled “on the right track”. I never imaged to be doing this full time. But after having the door close on my full time job, this door opened…and when it did, it flew open. As a new owner, of course I want to change some things, and keep many things the same. As the saying goes….” If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it” and that’s exactly what I’m going to do. As I move through this new chapter of my life as a full time photographer I want to combine what I know and offered my own clients, with what the current Pixatron Photo Studio offers. So Like I said, there will be many changes over the next few months, but the old faithfully will still be there as well. As I continue to finish up with my current projects I would like leave you with some of these images from a Trash the Dress Session from late summer 2009.
My niece is on the St. Charles Cards junior girls volleyball team for the 2009-2010 season. This year they made it to NOSSA where they placed 3rd over all. Way to go girls. Here is a photo taken while playing on home terf. My niece is the one in the air spiking the ball.

…I can’t believe I haven’t posted in like two weeks. I guess I’ve just been a bit busy with work and life in general. Over the past year I have had the opportunity to photography not only a great friend of ours but also one of my wife’s cousins. I photographed her once a month during her pregnancy and then again one month after she gave birth to a beautiful little boy. This is something that I am now offering my clients. It’s the “Bump to Baby” package from Michael Blinn Photography. Call the studio for more detail.
Well, my speciality is Weddings and Children, but I can shoot almost anything….then again, I can shoot anything. So I had a chance today to shoot a very good friend of mine and his new business associate. He is sponsoring a corporate dinner here in Sudbury for Pheasants Forever. He asked if I could do a not so traditional business type shot with him and his new business partner. Sure, why not… The business is Michael Cecutti Financial on Paris St. His office is nice and homie and he’s always on the go. Every time you met with Mike he’ll have coffee and some type of cookie or pastry to try. They are always home made and more times then not, they were made by clients. I don’t know if you remember the Cecutti bread, it was always fresh and always great tasting. This same home style feeling is what Mike gives to all of his clients. If you are looking for a no nonsense financial planner who knows his stuff and genuinely cares about you, this is the man to see.

My goal from this seminar wasn’t to go and shoot my brains out, by taking tons of pictures. But rather, to learn from two of the best from the USA. Since I belong to the same great photography forum as both of these guys, it was nice to finally meet them both in person. Both of these guys have some amazing product for professional photographers. It was so awesome to see these tools being used by the masters that created them. I can’t wait to bring some these cool new techniques to my business. Watch out Sudbury, here comes Pindor’s Box and Design House.
Here is one quick shot I grabbed from the seminar. I couldn’t go there and not shoot anything.
This is an image from my most recent photo session. Ethan is only 2 months old and very familiar with a studio setting. Not only is Ethan and his parents clients of mine, but he is also my God son. This was just done quickly, and I am hoping to have more images of him by the end of the month. Plus I did a 9 month wall panel for mom that will be finished and post soon.
