Shoot Your Dad 2011 ~ father's day photography perth ~

We are excited and proud to announce that we will be running our hugely popular "Shoot Your Dad" fundraiser again this year :)

All proceeds will go directly to the Cancer Council of WA to support their excellent work. We have sadly both lost our mothers and this is our way of helping those affected by cancer.

Do you have a favourite photo of your Dad? They are usually the ones taking the photos and shy away from the camera but here's your opportunity to change that.

Saturday 3rd of September is the day! It's the day before Father's Day and we will be in Hyde Park all day shooting Dads!

For a small donation of $50 to the Cancer Council you will get a 20 minute "mini shoot" and a beautifully presented 8" x 12" print of your favourite photograph from the day. This is valued at $185.

Contact us as soon as possible on 9328 6911 or info@deraysimcoe.com.au. Last year was a huge success and places are limited.

Here's one of our favourite photos from "Shoot your Dad 2010" of the adorable Lauren and her dad Peter:

Australian Professional Photography Awards... the full story!

Wow, we had the most amazing time in Sydney at the APPAs!

First up, we both won GOLD awards!!! It is a very hard thing to do, out of 3100 entries there were less than 80 golds. We are both so proud of ourselves and each other. Here's our images, Amber's is first:

 

And Diane's:

 

We also collected two silvers each, here's Amber's:

 

 

And here's Diane's:

 

 

Diane was also awarded her Master of Photography which is something she's been working towards for six years.  She will now be known as Diane DeRay M.Photog!

We've had some wonderful messages of congratulations on our facebook page, thanks everyone for your support.

We really enjoyed Sydney and watching the judging.  We shared an apartment with our good friends Rebekah Wilson and Tina Urie.  Amber will be aiming for her masters next year, only 3 points to go!

Yay for us!

So looking forward to this wedding...

Simon & Shamagne are getting married on Saturday!

Father's Day 2010 ~ portrait photography perth ~

We had a great day at Hyde Park yesterday photographing lots of daddies with their kids for father's day.  Here is a sneak peak with a photo for each of the dads that came down, Happy Father's Day!  The day was a great success and we raised $300 for the Cancer Council.  We're looking forward to doing this again next year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks to Eva for volunteering her time to help out, our sponsor Fitzgerald Photos who are providing the free prints and to our families who came down in the afternoon.

We also did photos with our husbands and kids but we will blog those next week when we catch up with editing.

Thanks also to both our Mums who made sure it didn't rain!

Shoot your Dad! ~father's day photography perth~

Father's Day is coming up soon...how many of you have a lovely photo of you and your Dad? We all know they hate having their photo taken!

You never know what tomorrow will bring your way and life is quickly racing by.  Make 2010 the year when you remember what’s important and make family photography a priority.

We are offering you the opportunity to have a photo shoot with your dad including a beautiful print valued at $110 for only $30! All proceeds from the day will benefit the WA Cancer Council.

 

We have sadly both lost our mothers to cancer and wish we could go back in time and have one special photo of them.This is our way of supporting those living with cancer and reminding everyone that photos are so important when you have lost your loved ones.

The priority for your photo shoot is a photo with Dad and his kids (young or old!). You may include other generations if you wish such as grandfathers and great grandfathers. If there is time you may wish to have a photo of Dad on his own, the kids on their own or the whole family including Mum. Please note this is a mini shoot only and there will not be time for many different groupings especially if young children are involved.

 

We have set aside Saturday 4th September (the day before Father’s Day) for your photo shoot. Contact us on 9328 6911 or info@deraysimcoe.com.au to book in your time, hurry places are limited.

This fundraiser is generously sponsored by DeRay Simcoe’s long term quality supplier Fitzgerald Photo Labs.
