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.

On the other hand, I also speak with some couples who have specific purposes in...
2010 is now underway, and with the new year, I’ve launched new pricing! I meant to do this a little sooner, but it’s been a busy time. Prices will still be very reasonable, but I need to increase them slightly to cover all the extra expenses that go with being a photographer, particularly the time...
As not everyone reading may not know, I am not only a photographer, but also a graphic designer. Recently I had the opportunity to design a logo and business cards for a start-up home staging company. Peridot is such a strong concept I really wanted to take the colour and roll with it… and incorporated...
