It was early on Thanksgiving Saturday when I meet up with the Campbell family at Desmasdon’s Boat Works  in Pointe au Baril.  After some introductions we boarded one of Desmasdon’s Georgian Bay worthy watercraft and headed out to the Blenkhorn Family cottages on a beautiful Island just beyond the Pointe au Baril lighthouse.  There we met up with Tonya, Andy and their two boys and Shelagh and David, Andy and Wendy’s parents.  Tanya and Wendy had organized the photo session as a gift to the Shelagh and David a few months earlier.  After David gave me a quick tour of their piece of paradise we picked out several sites for our session and I started working with Tonya, Andy and their boys while the others were in the last stages of getting ready.

Although we had started early the day quickly become exceptionally warm and bright of mid October on the Bay.  We used several spots on the property and ended the session with an image the grandkids perched on the branches of one of the huge white pines behind the cottage.

Tanya and Andy have operated Desmond’s Boat Works for several years and have a great selection of wonderful watercraft perfectly suited to Georgian Bay. Check them out if you’re in the market for a new or lightly used boat.
