Last night I had the chance to photograph Janet in a trash the dress session. We headed out to were she boards her horse to in clude Ramsey in some of the shots. It was the perfect night for a TTD session. We got some awesome shots but most importantly……..Janet had a blast. Here’s just a teaser from last night.
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.

…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.

This years PPO provencial Salon print competition 2010 was held in Sudbury, Ontario by the North Eastern Ontario Brach of PPO. There were about 50 some enteries at a maximum of 4 prints per entery. I decided at the last minute to enter 4 prints. Since it was in Sudbury and our branch was hosting it, I was asked to help out with the set up and take down of equipment for the event. Not only did I get a chance to see some great images, and learn a lot about judging professional prints, but I also go to see my prints judged and scored. I scored a Merit and two accepted prints in my first ever provencial print competition. The print that scored Merit will automaticly be entered into the National print show and will automatically receive an accept, with the chance to go higher. Here are those prints starting with the Merit print.
