What do you do on Family Day? Well ….. ya spend it with family! So we took the kidz out for some fresh air to chase some squirrels, hand feed some birds, and tempt some deer with some juicy apples. Well we spotted the deer, but no chance of getting them any closer ….. they looked very well fed!
It was a very fun day!
The Ottawa Academy of Martial Arts (OAMA) has become one of the most recognized organizations for offering and promoting martial arts in the Ottawa / Gatineau region. They are dedicated to the community, have amazing programs for all ages, and have developed some very competitive fighters. REC Promotions (an affiliation of OAMA), in cooperation with The SCORE Fighting Series, has been organizing fights under the name WRECK MMA. These fights not only showcase some of OAMA’s own in-house talent but provides a platform for other MMA gyms within the city, across Canada (and even into the USA), and their fighters to compete at a higher level.
REC Promotions has given me the opportunity to shoot their events, and so I wanted to show my appreciation by assembling a poster that highlights some notable OAMA fighters who have competed at WRECK MMA. 
I was asked to shoot the Brookstreet Hotel’s 2012 Partners in the City Awards Gala, which is an annual event to honor the performance and contribution of the hotel’s staff. This years event had a New York theme ….. kicked off by a Frank Sinatra impersonator singing “New York New York”. It was a fun evening that transpired into some pretty goofy photo ops as the night went on. Thanks to the Brookstreet Hotel (http://www.brookstreet.ca/) for a great night!
What a great day I had with Remi and Christine and their two adorable kids! This was kind of a hybrid shoot in that we included a family session in with their engagement shoot! Here are a few pics from our morning guys …. can’t wait to shoot your wedding next year!
