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...

Baby Mateo – Calgary Family Photography
Today I had the pleasure of doing a newborn/family shoot, with a beautiful family of five. Here’s a quick sneak peek of a few of the photos from today:
I have never seen kids of this age who are such naturals in front of the camera. These little boys were so good, and so patient and...
Why Engagement Photos Are Important
My base wedding package always includes engagement photos — there’s no discount for skipping an engagement session. Many couples mention that they don’t know if they really want or need engagement photos, especially if they’ve been engaged for a while.
On the other hand, I also speak with some couples who have specific purposes in...
New Year, New Photography Pricing
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...
And now for something completely different…
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...
Heather & Bryan – Calgary Wedding Photography
As I mentioned in my previous post, the wedding I shot on Saturday was one of the coldest ever! I did an engagement session with Heather and Bryan a couple of months ago, and it seems like hardly any time had passed until it was their wedding. It was a beautiful day, and Heather and...
The Holidays Are Here!
I shot a wedding on Saturday, probably on the coldest day I have ever been outside for photography. It was around -30C (that’s -22F to you south of the border), with a windchill making it quite a bit colder. The bride was determined (and brave!), and with bare arms, neck, and ankles, smiled and posed...
Heather & Greg Engagement – Calgary Photography
On Sunday afternoon I did a session downtown with Heather & Greg, whose wedding I’ll be shooting next year. It wasn’t too cold, and surprisingly busy down there! Usually downtown = ghost town on weekends. I had a really hard time choosing a few for this “sneak peek”, but finally managed to narrow it down....
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...
Family Portraits Sneak Peek & Closing out 2009
Wanted to take a moment to let everyone know that I am officially not accepting any more bookings for 2009 (or for the early part of 2010)! Thank you so much to everyone whose portraits I was fortunate to capture, it was a great year. My prices will also be going up a bit with...
