After a few years of hard work and many different lens variations, we’ve decided on the following lens setup because it works perfectly with our vision and workflow. My photography focus remains around portrait, wedding and baby photography, therefore I need a versatile kit that is rock-solid and fast in the lowest of low-light conditions. To date, this kit has met every one of my photographic needs just perfectly! Below you will find some very helpful reviews that have been put together about each of the lenses.

Our Canon lens kit for wedding, portrait and baby photography contains (left to right:) Canon EF 24mm f/1.4 L II, Canon EF 35mm f/1.4 L, Canon EF 50mm 1.2 L, Canon EF 85mm f/1.2 L II, Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 IS L. 
 

Love Indie? I do! WeLoveIndie.com aggregates the best indie art, craft and design blogs in real time. The WeLoveIndie.com site has added SandyCanvas to their photographer blog directory. Check it the listing here.

“When We Love Indie first began in April 2009, we focused on aggregating indie art, craft and design blogs. Over time, we have evolved into a unique platform for indie artists, crafters and designers to showcase their best work and to allow these works to be discovered by a new audience. As small business owners ourselves, we believe in supporting the indie movement and feel that you should too!”

A bit of featured press is always a great way to start the day! Last week, ILovePhotoBlogs.com notified me that they’d be showcasing the SandyCanvas photography portfolio on their ILovePhotoBlogs.com website. Click here to see the article.

“ILovePhotoBlogs.com started as a project to capture as many great photographers as possible in one location. Going against my natural “castle-building” tendencies, I’ve decided to take this project “live” and let it evolve. That will explain you why might see the site occasionally change while you are browsing. It’s the tinker-er in me.”

This is a photograph of a Tiffany & Co. engagement ring in the Tiffany Setting. I used a set of Kenko macro tubes so that I could see the detail of the diamond in close range. The green surface the ring rests on is the Tiffany & Co. leather pouch that came with the ring.

We tried composing the shot without the black in the background, but found it added to the quiet structure of the image. I feel it created an element of infinite horizon.

Stephanie and Stephen’s gorgeous fall wedding took place at the Delta Chelsea Hotel in Toronto, Ontario on October 24, 2009.

“Sandra photographed our wedding in 2009 and we found her to be very creative while keeping true to our requests. Our pictures turned out beautifully and our guests gave her high praise for being such a gifted photographer. Sandra was very available, approachable and receptive to our suggestions which made her an excellent choice for us. It was a pleasure for us to have her shoot and be a part of one of the most important days in our lives and we couldn’t be happier with the way every picture turned out.”
