Creating art out of plumbing...?

I love my job. Seriously. LOVE. Especially the firsts- the first wedding, the first newborn shoot, the first time I got to experiment with food to make it look scrumptious to viewers ( you can check out those images by going to www.savourfood.ca). So naturally I jumped at the opportunity to create some wall art for the new Stampede plumbing showroom.

Heres's to another first, finding coolness ( yep, that is a word) in lines, curves, metals, faucets and heaters.

Thanks Sandy & Dean for this opportunity, I really hope I've managed to create what you had in mind...

Meyer Family...

I've known Chelsea for a few years now, I met her & her hubby Hans through our good friends, the Palmers. She's Jared's little sis, and I DO mean little, (especially when standing right next to her hubby:) and they've only just recently moved to Calgary from the States. We've been talking about her wanting family photos for a little while now, and although we finally found a day that worked, her little guy Austin had other plans. He was completely uninterested in me or my camera for pretty much the whole shoot ( EVEN after sweet bribes and me making goofy faces..) So this one had to be a record for the fastest session ever, but you know what, I have to say that I'm quite pleased with the results, there's at least one smiling boy in the mix:)

Enjoy the preview...



























Cheers!

Palmer family- country style...

I've been asking Amanda for YEARS when she'd be getting some images done of her gorgeous family....and I can happily report that we finally made it happen! We stayed near their country property just outside of the city and although it was quite chilly, I think we pulled it off.

Lots of candies to reward smiling kiddies ( shocking with their dad being a dentist and all..lol), some running and lots of rocks to climb made this shoot pretty memorable.

Thanks you guys, hope you enjoy the preview!!

Cheers!

Coolest 5 year old ever...

I have done tons & tons of family shoots, and generally speaking you've got two types of kids. There's the 'personalities' where all I have to do is crack a few jokes ( kids LOVE potty humor, almost as much as their dads...lol...), ask them who their FAVORITE super heros/princesses are and bam... their true personalities are on; and then there's the 'get-me-out-of-here's and well, you know... that's when candids are the BEST solution.

And THEN, once in a while, you get one of these...a star. Ah yes, Ms. Personality herself, sweet little Savannah, YOU are a star. LOVE the name too, one of my favorites. Thanks James & Corinne, you were all so much fun. Enjoy the preview...



























Cheers!
