Twyla and Kerry {Port aux Basques Wedding Photographer}

Twyla and Kerry had a beautiful sunny day… windy… but sunny. They got married in Rose Blanche. It was my first time visiting that part of the island, and boy was it ever beautiful there.

Megan and Boyce {Eastern Newfoundland Wedding Photographer}

Another sneak peek for my very patient, and very beautiful cousin whose wedding I had the pleasure of photographing in early August. Megan and Boyce were married on family property in Burnside, Nl on a beautiful summer day. The seaside ceremony was performed by her grandfather, and was quite lovely.

The reception was held in the old Burnside school house. I think it was my first ever meal of steaks on the BBQ (at a wedding that is), but it sure was a treat! The location was especially nice for the first dance photos, as the close quarters meant that everyone crowded around to make a wonderful background to the dancing couple.

I have only had the opportunity to meet Boyce once before the wedding, but I know that he is perfect for Megan. He didn’t even flicnh when after letting me drive his car to out final location for photos, I left his keys in the ignation of his Mustang, locking them in…….. Burnside was a long trek for Triple A. Two weekends in a row locking myself out of a car, however, is not a very good record.

The second last photo is one of my all time favourites…. just because I am alwyas on the lookout for moments to occur, and when they do you just know that they will make a great photograph… these are are moments that tell a story, and are moments that you simply can not create……..

Lorie and Travis {Stephenville Wedding Photographer}

It has been a long time since I have logged in to write a blog post, I almost forgot how. I did however promise Lorie a sneak peek, and here it is! It was hard to decide what to show here as I had many favourites from this day. I have known Travis’ family for a long time (his big sis is a good friend of mine, his dad my highschool teacher, and Travis a friend of my brother), so it was very enjoyable to photograph this wedding.

Lorie and Travis had a beautiful day. Lorie was gorgeous in her oyster dress – a new favourite for me. They were even willing to head out to the old runways in town to try out a location that I have been wanting to try for a while. I am sure they thought I was crazy at the time, and even crazier when I locked my keys in the trunk of my father’s car….. but the results were fabulous.

And to any of Travis and Lorie’s friends who may be viewing this sneak peek in say Yellowknife, who may be getting married in say 2010…. I would love to have a reason to travel up there and se my baby brother and nephew.

A few more from my dance mini sessions…. can’t say enough how much fun these were!

I also wanted to mention that I will be in Corner Brook next Saturday (May 29th) and have a couple of sessions still available.

Lesley Oake School of Dance I {Newfoundland Dance Photographer}

Dawn Oldford — Thu, 20 May 2010 02:14:25 +0000

It has been a busy Spring with lots of new and exciting projects. One of my favourite has been the two Sundays I spent in Lesley Oake’s dance studio photographing some of her lovely little dancers. My daughter is a student of hers and thoroughly enjoys her lessons. She looks forward to each week and often talks fondly about Miss Lesley. So when we were able to collaborate and offer mini dance sessions to her students I was thrilled.

This post is the first from the mini dance session series that I will be posting in the next few weeks (as time allows). I have so many favourites from these two days that it is very difficult to choose which ones to blog, and I will also be adding some favourites to my website, which has been neglected lately, but will hopefully not be neglected for much longer.

Lesley Oake’s students will be showcasing their talents on June 8th and as well on June 9th at the Gordon Pinsent Center for the Arts. The first night has sold out (I didn’t even manage to get tickets for that show) and a second show was added (Thank you Lesley). I am sure it will be a huge success.

Just a quick little sneak peek for her momma, just in time for Mother’s Day. Hope all the moms out there have a great day tomorrow, especially mine.

Baby on the way {Newfoundland Maternity Photographer}

Dawn Oldford — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 21:02:56 +0000

Going back in time again to post a session from my trip in to the big city before Christmas. The due date is drawing near for this baby boy, and I am sure big brother is getting very excited. It was a litle chilly on this day, but we still mananged to get a few quick photos outdoors. I find that I am really enjoying doing maternity photos outdoors, in addition to in the home, even during frosty winter weather.

Madison {Central Newfoundland Child Photographer}

Dawn Oldford — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 02:58:46 +0000

This was my last session of the busy holiday season, and what a great way to end the year. Winter is one of my favourite seasons, and I was so happy that there was snow on the ground for this session in Gander last weekend. Photographing older children is also quite enjoyable for me. Especially when they love the camera as much as Madison does.

Twin Sisters {Newfoundland Child Photographer}

Dawn Oldford — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 04:31:13 +0000

I met these sweet little girls nearly two years ago when they were around two weeks old. It was my first time photographing newborn twins and I was so excited! We met for this session on a cold Sunday morning in St. John’s after postponing for weather the previous day. Sunday was no warmer, but it was a little drier as we spent some time in Bowring Park. Luckily, they didn’t seem to mind the cold too much and were eager to feed the ducks and explore the park.

Brand New {Newfoundland Newborn Photographer}

Dawn Oldford — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 22:40:25 +0000

One of my favourite subjects to photograph is newborns. I love their squishy skin, their pouty lips, their tiny toes… everything! Although a newborn session typically lasts longer than other sessions (as babies need feedings, changings and yes they sometimes even cry for awhile) but it is sooo worth that extra time.

This little jewel was just as precious as her big sister was when I photographed her an a newborn two years ago. And such a full head of hair! She was nice and sleepy too, which is great for getting newborns into interesting positions. I was even successful with the “stork baby” pose which I have attempted in the past, but have previously failed.
