Well summer is officially over after this weekend. The difference is this fall I won't be going back to class, rather I am starting my first internship as a social worker with Child Youth and Family Services. To say it in three words, I am pumped. I cannot wait to start.
In the meantime I have had some wonderful photoshoots in the past few days. I decided this weekend I would photograph a few flowers so here is the first of a few I hope. This is the remenance of a Hosta plant in my parents backyard.

The Cuteness
Well I have been waiting for the right baby portrait to enlarge. I did a photoshoot with the Cousins last week and here is the candidate for the enlargement. This is their daughter Erin was taking a break from the photos to smell the flower in her hand.
Besides that I have been busy processing and getting photo packages to my clients. I am still awaiting, like many others, the pricing on the newest round of Nikon camera bodies.
If you want similar photos of your own child send me an email at info@andrewedwardsphotography.ca

2007 Humanitarian of the Year
Whats up? I have been quite busy the past week so I am in the process of answering all of the emails. Be patient, I am working my way through them.
In the midst of all this excitement, Nikon has went ahead and released two brand new camera bodies that has the photography community buzzing. The D300 certainly has me excited, but unfortunately you cannot even pre-order it yet. Good things come to those who wait I say.
In the meantime, I had the pleasant opportunity to photograph the 2007 Canadian Red Cross Humanitarian of the Year, Charlotte Courage of St. John's, Newfoundland. Charlotte is also a social work student like myself. Her actual award will be done at the annual awards Gala at the Delta Hotel, St. John's, Newfoundland.

Lonely Stage
Hey Everyone,
What an interesting weekend. This weekend we photographed a wedding in Popes Harbour, a re-settled community from decades ago. After travelling to Clarenville, we headed for Random Island. Once on Random Island we went right to the end to a community called "Petley". It was a beautiful area but this was only the start of it.
Once we were offloaded the photo gear from the car, we boarded a beautiful passenger boat called "The Tuckamore". Decked out in hardwood, and pillows it makes for a pleasant ride. The captain boat was chartered for the Manuel Wedding that we were going to photograph. Saturday was a dead calm on the water as we took over an hour to sail up the coastline to Popes Harbour.
Popes harbour is a re-settled community that has no paths, no proper electricity and only outhouses for creature comforts. Besides that there are only people. But the people are not your normal folk, they are nicest, most friendly type of Newfoundlanders you can imagine. Opening their boats and bottles to anyone that was around.
Once "The Tuckamore" had docked, we proceeded to got into a smaller fishing boat to travel to the church. Yes, you read that right, we went to the Chapel in an open fishing boat. Quite interesting, and a first for us.
The Church is a newly constructed building that had not been used before the Manuel Wedding. This was no 300+ seat church, with only 40 people sitting and plenty were still standing in the doorway. The ceremony went off without a hitch and a hail of Rice and Fireworks followed.
Around the reception and ensuing jamboree on the dock, and boats, and shoreline, we left Popes Harbour and headed back for Petley. After the boat ride we were quite exhausted from all the travelling lately and we decided to stay in Clarenville for the night.
This brings us to the next interesting point in our Journey. We usually head to a hotel when we are on business but this time we wanted to try a Bed and Breakfast. So enter the Beamont Bed and Breakfast owned and operated by Jeff. The owner clearly was an ex-architect( self-admitted) who had designed the B&B with a very modern designer touch. The beds were great and his hospitality was extraordinary. I would recommend visiting Jeff anytime you are in the Shoal Harbour/Clarenville area.
Jeff has established the first fine art gallery in the Clarenville area as well as a play theatre complex at the White Hills Ski resort. Lets hope we hear more information on this venture soon.
The next day we got up and photographed the Crewe's 50th wedding anniversary in "Mahers". Note that it is not pronounced "May-ers" but instead it is pronounced "Mars".
That is it for now as I have boat loads (pardon the pun) of photographs to process. If you have any questions or comments send them to info@andrewedwardsphotography.ca

Rugged Shoreline
Hey Everyone,
I have been quite busy in the past week. I took a trip to Bell Island as a true tourist. Well it was a great time and I got some fantastic photographs. I wish I could have explored the mines further than what I did, but I can imagine it would be quite dangerous.
Here is a rock formation on the south side of Bell Island. To the right is Bell Island's lighthouse which was moved because of the decay you see in this photo.

The Happy Couple
Hey Everyone, the day finally came and went. What a great time! I am pleased to say that the day went as smooth as possible. Although I was not the main photographer for my brothers wedding, I did manage to take a few photos here and there when I had time and when the main photographer was busy with the Bride and Groom.
For anyone who is interested in more photos from the wedding, head to the gallery on my website.
