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.

What a great day it was in Calgary today… windy, but the sun was so bright and we had wonderful, fluffy clouds floating across the sky. Yesterday was the first day of spring, which is my favourite season. Although I say that about fall when it comes around too, it’s kind of a toss-up between...
Yesterday I did a fun family session, which was with mom, dad, and three-month-old Kaleb. The Calgary weather didn’t cooperate so we didn’t get a chance to get everyone outside, unfortunately. At least there was lots of lovely bright morning light inside where it was warm. Here are a few, and there are even more...
I’ve realized I didn’t make even one post at all in February! I’ve been super busy booking weddings for this summer and fall. September’s been a very popular month for brides and grooms in 2010, and June as well. Unfortunately I’ve had to turn quite a few couples away due to being booked already, but...
