MOTHER'S DAY - We Have You Covered.

OK I know this one is a little crazy Just wanted to show you how many it takes before I get one I like.

I have been delighted working with people in my new space on Dominion Street and am nearly ready to announce the address and the opening of it officially you know with a cake and fanfare!!
But  I have been so busy working and testing and teaching that I just can't set a date yet. Honestly it will probably be JUNE at the rate I am going! If you have driven down Dominion you will see it though as the signs were just put up last month by ALL MOBILE SIGNS . We had to wait till the weather warmed up enough and we all know how long THAT took. 

So I am booking already into May and June and August ( Sept is practically full)  for family sessions as well as Business Profile Sessions that I wanted to say if you are serious about wanting to give someone a Super Mother's Day gift we have GIFT CARDS available in a number of denominations that you can easily order them from us and drop them into your MOTHERS DAY cards to put an even bigger smile on her face!! All our sessions come with hair and makeup and can be indoor or outdoor on location.

PHONE ME at 250 301-4744 (c) or email me phil@phughesphotography.ca and I will get those to you.

5100 Instagram Post

Tonight I am posting my 5100 Instagram photo and I saved this image for that very Post.
These are some of the people who have supported me by making me "their" photographer over this year and several more than once. I have to say a heartfelt thank you to each of them ( and to other yes so please forgive me as i only had a 9 block to fill). You are the reason I am still in business and honestly if it weren't for people like you who hire professional photographers we would not be able to stay in business.Thank you for recognizing how valuable YOU are to Hire a Professional. I am delighted to be in this community as a photographer for 27 years. If I haven't seen you yet,give me a call as I don't think it will be another 27 years !

A snip from my Trip to Europe this summer.

You know when you come across a beautiful place you just can't get enough of it.This is true of the little village my cousin and her husband retired to a few years ago moving from the city of Dublin to Inistoige Kilkenny. Their house over looks this beautiful historic bridge with its ten arches, built in c.1765 .I photographed it when my daughter and I arrived in early July in the afternoon, sundown and into the next morning before we left to return to Dublin. I wanted to show the different looks that I saw in the 24 hrs I was there. I had been there 3 years ago so I got to know it a bit then but it was Hanna's first visit.
There had been a German film crew there the day or two prior who wanted to come onto their land to film but they said no them...so I was thrilled that they said yes to me!!
I am showing this just for a change instead of my regular portrait work to those of you who are landscapes enthusiast like myself. Their white home does stand out and I could show more but these are amongst my favorites along with the one that now is my FACEBOOK cover picture.Thanks Joan and Michael. Hope I get a chance to see it in the winter one year!!
