I would first like to thank everyone who entered the Baby model call last month. The response was great and a lucky baby has been chosen. As promised we will be doing these model calls once a month until October.

      This month we are looking for a father and child up to 8 years old. As with last month we will waive the session fee and you will only pay for the prints. ($165 value!) Your session will take place on Monday, September 12th at 5:30pm sharp, in Port Dalhousie at Lakeside Park in St. Catharines, Ontario. * For modelling you will receive: • A complimentary 60 minute photo session ($165 value) • Your very own ordering appointment • The experience of you and your child being a model for a day!

       If you are interested, please send me a thoughtful email stating WHY you and your child should be chosen for this "model" call and attach a photo of your child, with mom/dad or both to: Our Email darrick@beyondthelensphoto.ca (submission needs to only be a paragraph or two in length) Please also state in the email if you're willing to be a part of our mailing list. *Simply stating that I think it would be “fun” will not be chosen* *Products and digital image files may be purchased separately at your ordering appointment, but you have no obligation to purchase anything.

       A great evening for a portrait session with a fun couple in Niagara Falls, Ontario's gorgeous Niagara Botanical Gardens. The weather was perfect, the lighting was fantastic and with a 0% chance of rain we set out on our journey thru the trails of this magnificent park.
