Ah-May-Zing wedding. More to come.

goodbye 2011, hello 2012. Happy New Year!

Glasses of Champagne on a serving tray at a cocktail party by lifestyle photographer Kevin Charlie

I personally wanted to take a moment to wish you and your families all the very best of everything in 2012; and to thank those of you who made my 2011 an amazing year by allowing me the opportunity to share-in and capture your celebrations and events this past year. I am truly honoured that you trust my vision and artistic abilities to capture your memories.

I can’t wait to see all the good things the coming year will bring for everyone!

There are no resolutions for me this coming year – but rather goals and projects I have in mind for myself. This coming February I get to look forward to another niece or nephew (the sex is being kept as a surprise until the birth day). I’m really looking forward to capturing the birth story – such an amazing experience. If you haven’t seen the birth story of my niece Taylor – you can check it out right here. I also hope to make an announcement in February or March about something I’ve been working on which will feature more of my food and lifestyle photography. So excited about this project!

I have lots of other plans for 2012 – goals and projects if you will; not resolutions. Goals are something I can look back upon at the end of the year and say to myself – ‘yes, I did it!’.

May your 2012 be everything (and more) that you hope it will be.

my very best,
kcpsig

November 2011 Desktop Calendar


What I’ve done for November (and hopefully every month now) is create a desktop wallpaper calendar in the most common screen resolutions as well as iPhone and iPad resolutions for you to download and enjoy.

A little bit about Novembers image – a few weeks ago I photographed the Sip and Savour Ontario Event at the Steam Whistle Brewery – a fundraiser event for Houselink. Tucked away in the corner was the Cupcake Diner (Canada’s first mobile cupcake shop) with the most cute looking and mouth watering little cupcakes. I captured a few great images; but this one is my favourite.

Select your resolution below and download the image after the jump (right click – save as) and then set as your desktop wall paper. For iPhone and iPad – it may be easier to email yourself the image and open that email on your device. Download the image and set as desktop (and home screen) wallpaper.
