Eric Bonnici Photography

It was a pleasure shooting Fall portraits of Erika and Phil's family at Ojibway Park this past weekend, their children were adorable and I love that they brought their fur baby Bailey! If anyone wants last minute Fall portraits feel free to message me. I'm willing to book during the first week of November as I have a flexible schedule that week. Fall photos are perfect for couples, families, kids, personal branding, Instagram, or just about anyone!

Here's a sneak peek of a few of the portraits of some wonderful people that booked mini photography sessions with me at the beautiful Sunflowers 4 Smiles sunflower field in Cottam last night! I couldn't be happier with how easy energetic Grace was to work with and Christina and Josh definitely are a couple that were lots of fun! There are also a few photos of my daughter Brianna and her friend Kestrel who came out with me a few days before to check out the location, they were... wonderful subjects / models. Brianna was also a much appreciated and wonderful assistant on the shoot. As the season comes to an end the last week for the public to visit the sunflower field located at 45 Rd 10, is this Saturday Sept. 5. It's open daily from 10am-7pm. For any cash donation (which goes to Ronald McDonald House) you can explore and snap some selfies with the sunflowers. Photographers can rent spots by the hour to shoot sessions with clients (like I did). To book just message Ashley through the Sunflowers For Smiles Facebook page. The money from that also goes to Ronald McDonald House. For years I've shot photos of entertainers, concerts, plays, festivals, parades, community events and as a journalist and founder of Eyes On Windsor (an online guide to entertainment, events and fun things to do in Windsor Essex). Offering Portrait Photography as a service has been something I’ve hoped to share with people for a long time. Over the years people who have seen my published photos on Eyes On Windsor and on CBC Windsor have asked to hire me, from BIA’s and bands, to the University of Windsor, and more (all of which I turned down). For two Summers in a row I was CBC’s Eyes On Windsor where a summary of weekend events were shared in pictures on CBC Windsor broadcasts and online along with my daily tweets featuring upcoming events in the Windsor Essex area. Fast forward to today and I knew the sunflower field was the perfect place to book my first sessions. I feel I have developed my skills to match my passion for portrait photography and I am confident to offer it as a quality service. Currently, I’m excited to start building my portfolio and shoot more clients/subjects. I’ll be posting more session dates in the near future and hope you’ll book with me. I look forward to capturing special moments and bringing out the best in all of you.
