Carla & John Carreiro

Carla and John were married on Saturday November 25, 2006 at the Queensway chapel.
We have known John and his family for quite some time, it was great to see old friends.


The reception was held at Le Treport, a place that we have been to often and are always treated well.


How many Bride and Groom's can say they had their pictures taken with Santa on their wedding day.

Studio Cabral on T.V

A few months ago we were featured on Canada Contact on Omni. Just recently someone had told us that they had seen us on T.V a few days ago. We thought it was a rerun, as it turns out we can be seen at anytime of the day.
If you have Roger's digital cable we can be seen on
Omni on demand Channel 600 episode #124.
So in case you missed it before, you can see us again and agian.

Free Pictures with Santa!!!!!!

Once again Santa will be passing by Studio Cabral for his annual photo session with the kids.

On Saturday, December 9 from 11am-1p.m bring your children down and have a free photo taken with Santa for free, that's right free.

All you have to do is bring a new unwrapped toy that will be donated to charity from Studio Cabral and the Bloorcourt Village B.I.A. Come down have a photo taken, plus there will be food and light refreshments for all and best of all it's for a good cause.

Come down and share in the festive season before Santa heads back to the North Pole.

Yesterday I said that if people were in need of photos for Christmas that you should not leave it to the last minute and then in walked Shaun and his brother Jay. Who want to give their parents a portrait of themselves for Christmas.



Don't forget our annual last minute Christmas special,
no sitting fee you save $89.95.
You only pay for the prints that you order.



So for those who are looking for a great gift that will last forever, and that is better then those socks that you were going to get your dad and the perfume for your mom. You have until December 9 and you will save $89.95.

Christmas Order's

Just a quick reminder to everyone, if you would like to have any photos taken for Christmas they must be done by December 9. I know what your thinking, Chris you guys have your own lab. Yes that is true but the orders are starting to add up and time is of the essence, so hurry to get those photos under the tree. Or little Joey will be upset when he doesn't have aunt Selma's photo in a nice frame from Studio Cabral under the tree. We all know that is what he really wants, not the PS3.

AMY

This past weekend we photographed Amy in the studio. We have known Amy since before she was born. We photographed her parents wedding awhile back.



I know that I said it before, but I'll say it again I love that people trust us to share in all the phases of their lives. From weddings to portraits we get to see people grow.



You can see some of these photos on our website which should be up real soon. I know that some of you have been asking and yes I promise it will be up in the next few days. So stay tuned.

Baby Olivia

This past week Dyenne and Tommy came by the studio to show off the new addition to their family, Olivia. Dyenne and Tommy were married three years ago on June 14, and we photographed their wedding.



We could not pass up the opportunity to photograph the three week old baby. It's cool that our clients let us share in so many of their memories, it is like we are family.



The only way I feel to know were we've been, what we've done, and where we're going is through pictures. So take many, be it with a pro or yourselves. You will thank yourself one day, just like Olivia will thank her parents when she is 28 and getting married. Even though Tommy does not want to think about that.

Chris's Random Thoughts

This will be a regular post on the Studio Cabral blog.
I have so many things going on in my head that I have to put them down and share them with you good people.

- I love my job there is nothing in the whole world that I would rather do, I meet new people everyday, I'm inspired all the time to photograph and my hands are far too gentle to do any hard labour.
- Today the Toronto Blue Jays signed my all-time favourite baseball player "The Big Hurt" Frank Thomas. He signed for 20 million dollars and everybody is saying that it is too much. I say,who cares it's not your money. After this I'm off to the store for a Jays jersey with THOMAS on the back.
- This goes out to all the Ottawa Senator fans , whose team is suffering through a skid right now. I got an idea, tell all the NHL teams to wear Maple Leafs jersey's and maybe you guys can win.
- My favourite movie of all-time is "Notting Hill" and I'm not ashamed. There I said it.
- My boys the Toronto Raptors are not doing to well right now but mark my words this year they will make the play-offs. Book it!
- Just a thought, is O.J Simpson crazy!
- If I had money to throw away and I don't, I would find out what they put in Tim Horton's coffee. I know something's up, have you seen those lines.
- The greatest author off all time is Anne Rice, that's right kids Interview with the vampire was a book first.
- Tomorrow I will be first in line to see Casino Royale. YES!! James Bond's back baby.

Thanks all, till next time.

Alda and John's Engagement Photos

Last Friday Alda and John had their engagement photos taken and we posted some, so that you guys can take a look at them. One of our favourite things in the whole world is engagement shoots because we have tons of fun and we really get to know the Bride and Groom prior to there wedding day.

We really try to focus on the details in all of our shoots. For Alda & John there was no exception.

We like to talk a lot during our shoots be it wedding, engagements or anything for that matter, it loosens everyone up and keeps things moving well. In the end if you are not having fun it shows, if you don't believe me check out our website (there's a link at the right side of this page. Wink, Wink, )

Debora & Michael were married on Saturday November 11, 2006. We had so much fun taking their photos that after a while it didn't feel like work. They had a great day and we shot in three different locations after church. Their ceremony was at Harvest Bible church in Oakville, and there reception was held at Ambiance Banquet Hall in Toronto. The staff at Ambiance always make us feel right at home everytime we go there. It was an all round great day despite the fact that it looked like it was going to pour any minute, it never did plus overcast skies make for great pictures. Here are some shots.

This is officially our first post, we will try to post daily but that could get a little crazy so we're not making any promises. But I will promise you this, you will get a chance to catch a glimpse of everything that we do. You'll get to see yourselves, you'll get to see friends and sometimes you'll see us. So check back everyday and you'll see something new.
