Happy Holidays!

Tim and I want to wish all our readers a belated Merry Christmas and also a Happy New Year! The blog has been lacking an update in the past couple of weeks but we took some time off to travel, relax and see lots of family over the holidays. We’ve got a busy week ahead of us too – a photographer’s conference next week and then the Marions Nous wedding show in Place Bonaventure next weekend.

We’ve got quite a few shoots and a wedding in the wings waiting to be blogged, and I’ve got a year-end retrospective that I’m hoping to share with you by, er, the year end (if not January 1st!) but I leave you all now with a few shots from a really fun photoshoot that we did in early December with Aimee, Danny and their two darling little boys. Aimee who is the prolific blogger and gourmande extrodinare from Under the High Chair makes an appearance on our blog on a regular basis as we are good friends with the Bourques and big fans of her food. Tim and I have been privileged to photograph her family over the past couple of years and we delighted to do a shoot as an homage to the sadly-now-folded Gourmet magazine in time for the holidays. We set up our kitchen here at Tim Chin Photography like a studio and Aimee brought the concept, the yummy food and family to get that perfect shot that would capture the spirit of their family. If you think they all look a little Mad Men-esque (one of our favorite shows) it’s because that was the look we were going for. Looking at these images makes Tim and me smile so we’ve posted a few of them here – enjoy!
