Candid Street Photography at Table Rock – Niagara Falls

People loving life and each other in Niagara Falls.

If you are on social media at all in the last few years, it is not hard to believe people hate each other. But if you go and actually look, you will find that is not the case. We've done this a few times and again yesterday, my wife and I did some people watching. And I took a few photos at Table Rock, right by the Falls. Table Rock is the spot on the Canadian side where the water is flowing over the Falls. We go there fairly often and it doesn't get old.
We both get excited when we see a particularly loving couple or group. There is a link below with a bunch of photos from a few weeks ago.

Makes my heart soar.

Panther Beach, Santa Cruz, California

Panther Beach, California
Recent trip to Santa Cruz area of California. One of my favourite spots in the area is called Panther beach. Just up the coast from Santa Cruz. If you ever deign to go there, be advised. The 'trail' leading down to the beach is not easy. Wear sturdy shoes. You will likely need to use your hands to climb down and up at some point or other. Not for carrying kids or babies. Once down there, though, it is quite beautiful. I'll post more but here are a few of kids having some fun at the edge of the waves. Very cold water. Big waves. Check out some street photography taken right near the Falls.

Boudoir Photo Sessions – Niagara Falls, Ontario

Boudoir Photography in Niagara Falls

Boudoir def.: A boudoir (/buːˈdwɑːr/; French: [bu.dwaʁ]) is a woman's private sitting room or salon in a furnished residence, usually between the dining room and the bedroom, but can also refer to a woman's private bedroom. The term derives from the French verb bouder (to sulk or pout)

Here a few boudoir photos that I’ve going back about 20+ years.

Trying to post a bit of a variety of photos.

Some are done in a studio setting and some at the client’s home. And one, here, is obviously taken outdoors.

In majority of instances hair and makeup were done by the clients themselves. Sometimes with a little help from a friend. These are not ‘makeover’ type sessions.

Have a look through these and some of the other blog posts. There are more images at the main website as well: Photo-Photo

And then, give me a call or email me. And we’ll chat. Ideally, I like to meet first with someone if we are going to work together.
Make sure we like each other.

Street Photography, Love and Kindness in Niagara Falls

Love, Love, Love

Our niece is visiting for a few days. With her 13 and 14 year old kids. They are doing all the touristy stuff.

We took them down to Table Rock - that’s the spot where the Falls actually fall. Lots and lots of people. They were doing the ‘Under the Falls’ thing (Journey Behind the Falls). We sat on the rocks by the garden there and watched people for an hour or two.

I had a long lens on my camera and started taking photos. I had taken one shot of a couple kissing and hugging early on. As a result, as I was shooting I noticed the love and kindness, the caring pretty much everyone there had for each other.

Almost all of these photos are taken from one spot.

It really hit me, though, when I was editing the photos, just how much love there is out there. I posted these photos on Facebook and Instagram and the response was/is wonderful.

I’m hoping that at some point at least one or two of the folks photographed get to see these images. So, if you come across these and recognize anyone, please let them know.

And I hope these photos help you see the world as loving and kind as I do.
