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!
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...
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...
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...
Still catching up on the many shoots I have had over the last several weeks. If you are still waiting for images from me, I apologize. But know that I’d hate to rush through them, quality is very important to me. I will get there! In the meantime, here is a sneak peek from a...
Earlier this month, myself and this family of five (six including the dog!) braved the chilly weather to get some family photos in the park. We cut the session shorter than planned because we were all getting a bit uncomfortable. Brrr! So strange how the weather so suddenly turned. Here is their sneak peek:
Despite the...
Over the last several months, I have been privileged to do three separate shoots for the same family: Diane’s maternity shots, newborn photos of Poet, and last weekend, a family session with the entire group. It was a unique opportunity to really have everyone get very comfortable with me, and to get used to seeing...
I am trying to keep up with my blogging a bit more over the last few days, ’cause it’s one of those things that can fall by the wayside when you’re busy — and it really shouldn’t.
On Thursday evening I had a session with a big family group, at a park in the South....
