Tim and Crick have the cutest kids. You might not be able to tell from the photo on the right, but there are only two of them. As usual, they were a bit shy, but they didn’t take long to open up and relax around the camera. They have a great back yard with a […]
I really had fun with Wally and Gill. The small ceremony was in their friend’s back yard. It was beautifully landscaped with several trees and flowers. They also had reflecting globes that added a neat touch. The weather also cooperated enough to hold back the rain while the overcast sky made the greenery really come […]
Photographing Bella was an amazing amount of fun. She’s a very dynamic child with a lot of personality. We made it easy for her by letting her play in the grass and explore. The experience of freedom for her made it easy for her to ignore the camera and just be herself. When she started […]
From Calgary Temple Groundbreaking I was asked to volunteer as one of the official photographers for the groundbreaking of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint`s Calgary Temple. The LDS Church News and Calgary Herald articles explain what went on. My purpose was to take photographs, but I also had opportunity to marvel […]
From Steven and Amanda Steven and Amanda are a quiet couple with big plans! For their engagement, we wandered into Prince’s Island Park in downtown Calgary. The recent moisture has made a huge difference in the greenery, but the trees have yet to really show. Prince’s Island has a number of views that make it […]
From Mark and Jenn Having a summer wedding means spring engagement photos. This Easter weekend was definitely sunny enough, but the cold breeze made it a bit uncomfortable. Mark and Jennifer are a great couple, and were very patient dealing with flying hair and goosebumps. Tom Campbell hill in Calgary overlooks the downtown core. Early […]
Photographing the Seitz family was a pleasure. I like outdoor portraits, but the December weather, combined with young children made it necessary to shoot indoors. The location had large windows that helped to give a better quality of light. The rooms were large enough to fit everyone and we had a great time being creative […]
A great activity for youth is a photo safari. With our Scouts, we hiked from Tom Campbell hill, just North of the Calgary Zoo, to downtown Calgary and back. Along the way, we discussed what things to think about while taking a photograph and helped them learn more about their cameras. Being late November, it […]
Akeela and Bior’s wedding was definitely a challenge for all of us. The previous week was just beautiful and then we get this frigid day that a family from warmer climes just wasn’t used to. I’m native to Calgary, and I didn’t like it either. Had the weather co-operated, the ceremony was planned to be […]
Fozia and Mike were a delight to shoot. The mix of culture made it easy to be creative and take some different shots than in traditional American weddings. Part of the wedding included a sand ceremony where each member of the family poured sand into a bottle, symbolic of the unifying of the family. It’s […]
