Family Portraits - Mont-Tremblant Holidays

By Allen McEachern.

Christmas is 36 days away, crazy, I know. Everything just seems to speed up at this time of year. Anyway, with Christmas comes family. Why not plan a family photo session when everyone is in town? This is a great way to capture your time together, and makes a wonderful gift for all. Mont-Tremblant offers a beautiful outdoor setting or we can stay warm inside. Professional lighting can quickly and easily be set up at any location. Usually, a 90 minute session is usually enough time to get the job done without feeling rushed. Images are easily shared via a private on-line gallery, with all images downloadable. I can also help you with any custom printing and framing you might like. Do you want to find out more? Let's get in touch and check the dates.

Three Images for Tourism Labelle

By Allen McEachern.

Over the last 3 months, I have been working slowly to produce images for la Municipalité de Labelle. Labelle is a small village in the Laurentian mountains of Quebec. The surrounding landscape is gorgeous, and outdoor activities are the main attraction. My mandate was to create two sets of 3 images for both summer & autumn. Here are the three they chose for autumn...also on display in the Labelle Tourism Info Centre in Labelle.

SOLO PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION - ABSTRACT NATURE

On July 30th, 2015, I will present my first solo photography exhibition in 8 years. I am really excited. I have partnered with the wonderful wine bar / book store Les Mots located in the Old Village of Mont-Tremblant. The exhibition is title ABSTRACT NATURE and will include 11 images from this on-going series. Six of the eleven images will be printed at 32"x48" and five images will be sized 20"x30". All of the images are direct prints on acrylic. To help cover the cost associated with printing and exhibiting this series I am using KICKSTARTER  to raise funds. 

If you would like to find out more about my project, or to make a contribution to my campaign please click here.

Here are a few of the larger images I will be presenting...

Tremblant Event Photography - Chambre De Commerce Pre-Gala

By Allen McEachern

Two of my favourite annual events to photograph are the Mont-Tremblant Chambre de Commerce Pre-Gala and following Gala d'Excellence. These two events are about a month apart. The Pre-Gala is a casual 5-7 cocktail where the finalists from various categories are revealed. The categories range from Employee of The Year to Business of The Year. The Gala d'Excellence is a more formal affair, with each year having a specific theme. Last year was the 1920's, this year is a Masked Ball. The winners of each category will be announce and honoured for their achievements and contributions to the community. I enjoy these events because of the members of the CCM-T. Mont-Tremblant is a small community, with a tight business network. Many of the members have known each other since grade school. The dynamic is fun, relaxed, but business like. This relaxed approach to business networking is great. People are more at ease, which creates more opportunity to connect.  Below are a few shots from the night. There are many more of my photos from the night on the CCM-T Facebook page.
