Thank you for your interest in photography for the KVHS FOOTBALL TEAM during this 2022 season. Hopefully, photos taken during this time will put a smile on faces as well produce a positive memory as we enjoy a truly normal season.

My name is Kevin Barrett and once again, we provided the team shot and head shots for the program. I also have a number of products that you may be interested in this season.

My contact is [email protected].

My website is www.kevinbarrettphotos.ca

There is a lot of info but basically, I have individual posed shots as well as action shots and a new game promotion digital image. The details are below and if you are interested, send along a note and I can get more specific.

INDIVIDUAL POSED SHOT
The Main Individual photo that is new this year is the player standing in the lights of the stadium with their name and number displayed

It can be seen here - Link

We took a few poses I can send you to select your images or images. Many players enjoy a flexing look!

The costs are
5x7 $10
5x7 and 4 wallets (all same image) - $15
3 5x7 (all same image) $20
4 5x7 and 12 wallets (all same image) $35
Wallets (the same image) 8 for $15
8x10 individual - $20

We also have inspirational messages, such as B.E.S.T. or even others such as Believe, Leadership. Commitment, Discipline, No Limits

Examples of these can be found here and can be used with individual or action shots in 8x10 ($20), 11x14 ($35) and 16x20 ($60) formats
So there are a lot of options of those prints along with some fun ones I can create as well – They can be seen here – some are print only, some are specialty items.

DIGITAL GAME DAY promotion/use your player
One for $10, all regular season for $30 – Example here
An example can be found here – Each will be modified to reflect the schedule and feature a photo we took during our enjoyable team photo shoot prior to the season.
These need 24 hours notice and I will turn around as fast as possible, which may be factor for the second game vs Leo Hayes.

DIGITAL ACTION PHOTOS (Very Popular)

I took some general photos on Sept 8 and will be at home game on Sept 15 and Oct. 15.


If there are other home games in the playoffs, I should be able to get to that as well. I will have a general gallery of some the best photos from Friday’s game this week and again on Thursday, likely late in the weekend. You can check my facebook page for updates when ready.

Specifically, if you are interested in action photos of your player, they are 5 for $35 or 15 photos for $65.

By sending me an e transfer with the total, your player’s number and position to [email protected], will inform me you are interested and I can concentrate on your player.
Further, commemorative print collages are available from six or eight of the best shots

A collage print of 6 action photos, including name, position and number - $65
A collage print of 8 action photos, including name, position and number - $90

Examples in other sports can be found here

So, if you are interested, please reach out. Also, if you are interested in extended individual sessions of special graduate or high school prints, such as these - please feel free to reach out for pricing and timing options.

Again, a lot of options with we can do – so reach out once you have some thoughts and we can develop a plan.

Thank you
Kevin

We're back, full time https://www.kevinbarrettphotos.ca/blog/2022/3/full-time-operations Just prior to the pandemic hitting the world, I made a grand exclamation to my family. The photography/writing/consulting business I contemplated had a big future ahead in 2020.

The summer was essentially booked, the fall was looking promising and the investment of time and energy to that point into a new enterprise was quickly gaining some traction.

That foundation was thanks in large part to many folks who enlisted our services in a variety of areas, ranging from sport and tournament coverage to press releases, graduation signs, family and senior photos, corporate events as well as a variety of other services we were offering.

RHS Sen -0761RHS Sen -0761

However, that all changed in March, 2020.

And while we have adapted to COVID-19, like so many, it was time to rethink our operation in light of restrictions in place across the Maritimes, where we planned to do all of our main work.

Fast forward to the spring of 2022 and all those relationships we built two years ago are back, as well as many any more. And with that, we are excited to jump into our business full time, beginning April 9.
 

We could not be more excited. We also understand the trust you are putting in us with capturing your memories and highlighting your event coverage.

We will offer many of the traditional products and services we have in the past but also, we will expand, to provide both value and premium products. It is our goal to make photo events an experience for those who want that - a memory of making the memory. 

 

Final 12 AAG-8805Final 12 AAG-8805

 

Details on those experiences will be forthcoming in the next few weeks and months.

We will be back at the soccer fields this summer in the Kennebecasis Valley and Saint John, we will cover the Memorial Cup for the Telegraph-Journal in June, the U Sports Canadian track and field championships at the Saint John Field House in late March, we just wrapped up the Final 12 and we will be available for sport teams throughout the region.

We have plans for schools, organizations and groups from all sectors to make their photo day an enjoyable experience for all of their students or members.

We are also looking forward to the Graduation season and have big plans for the Class of 2022 as well as some exciting new developments for the Class of 2023.

We will have traditional looks as well dynamic new products.

We are investigating a rebrand for our photo sector. So much on the go.

And of course, when the leaves turn, we are excited for what promises to be an extra special season of family photos - not only in New Brunswick but also Prince Edward Island.

We will blog more regularly and give our clients a chance to shine.

This potential exists because of you and what you have asked for and what you want. We are delighted with the feedback we have received. Also be sure, we have taken your suggestions and worked them into a better and more efficient operation. With a full time dedication, we can work with our various partners for quicker turnaround times, a huge priority.

So join us for the ride. Looking forward to it.

Motivational posters and sayings https://www.kevinbarrettphotos.ca/blog/2019/5/motivational-posters-and-sayings Hi there.

 Lots of chat about the motivational posters and sayings. Achievement-Vertical swimAchievement-Vertical swim

 Here is a list of the sayings available.

BELIEVE - Create the highest grandest vision possible for your life, because you become what you believe. Oprah Winfrey

 

DISCIPLINE – Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishments

 

ACHIEVEMENT – The greatest achievement is not falling but in rising again after the fall.

 

COURAGE – I’m thankful for my struggle, because without it I wouldnlt have stumbled across my strength.

 

ENDURANCE – The race goes not always to the swift but to those who keep running.

 

LEADERSHIP – True leaders are no those who strive to be first but those who are first to strive and who give their all for the success of the team.

 

 

IMAGINATION – Imagination is having the vision to see what is just below the surface; to picture that which is essential, but invisible to the eye.

 

INSPIRATION – There are many things in life that will capture your eye, but very few will capture your heart.

 

NO LIMITS Once we accept our limits we go beyond them.

Returning to the pool https://www.kevinbarrettphotos.ca/blog/2019/4/returning-to-the-pool There was a day I was at the pool every day, every week of the summer. From swimming lessons to Red Cross courses, the pool was the setting - mostly in Charlottetown. So to be able to shoot a major swimming event recently that featured many swimmers from new home and some familiar faces from my old home, it was pretty special. I had so many favourites from the weekend but here are but a few looks from the NB Long Course swimming championships in Saint John.

A new beginning https://www.kevinbarrettphotos.ca/blog/2017/12/a-new-beginning First of all, thank you to the many family members and friends who have helped this little project (dream) along, particularly those in 2017 who simply said, "Kevin, you have to get into business." 

Those small words of encouragement grew into a mountain of positive feedback and as I'll explain in a later post, I had to get aggressive with the gravy.

The likes and shares on social media, requests for photos and opportunities to display my work on my facebook site and a good friend's basketball site have provided forums to develop, make mistakes and learn and ultimately share something I truly enjoy doing.

In addition to this new site, which will provide a spot to view, proof and buy photos, I'll provide updates on this blog on various aspects of the venture, from how I got into photography to particular projects I am working on.

Needless to say, the support of my wife, Kathy, as been instrumental in all of this as has the support from my daughters, who model for many shoots to experiment with collages, prints and settings.  Their love - and patience - is something I treasure and never take for granted.

I hope you enjoy the evolution of this project and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Kevin
