Calgary Wedding Photographer | Redfern Photography bio picture

I'm Lisa Redfern, a photographer based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, specializing in weddings and portraits -- people are my primary subject. I shoot in a portrait journalist style, which is a combination of capturing moments as they happen, and posed portrait shots.

This all started for me in university, where I shot my first wedding in 1997, while I was studying photography (it was film and darkrooms back then!). Photography brings so much happiness not only to my life, but also to my clients. Being allowed in to peoples' lives and events is such a happy privilege, I feel very honoured to be capturing memories and sharing in special occasions.

My purpose in blogging is for my clients to have the chance to get to know me a bit better in the comforting glow of their own computer. I don't take myself too seriously, and want every session to be a fun experience for myself and my subjects while striving to capture beautiful images. The most frequent comment I get at the end of a shoot is "that was fun!", which is about the best compliment I could get.

You can also follow me on Twitter or Facebook. Thank you for visiting my site!

Laura & Kyle Family Portrait Session

This was my last portrait session of the year (well, almost, we’re sneaking one engagement session in later this month!). It’s a challenge in Calgary because once the frost hits, all of the plants die and everything turns the same greyish, brownish, non-colour. The grass dies, the leaves shrivel on the trees, and it only gets dustier and more grey as the winter progresses. Sigh! But we braved the park last weekend for these family portraits — it was chilly and windy but at least the sun was shining and the air was fresh. Here’s the sneak peek:

Someone, at some point, had built a cool little lean-to fort thing by the creek, I’m not sure when… but couldn’t resist using it in some photos.

You can tell in this one that baby got his mom’s beautiful blue eyes:

Thank you guys so much for a great session and for being so brave in the weather. Your little one was so well-behaved for his age and the cold weather!

I’ll be away this weekend, I’m jaunting off to Vancouver for a few days on Thursday evening, but will get back to photo processing and replying to inquiries when I get back.
