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 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 […]

I attended this year’s Remembrance Day ceremonies at the Military Museums in Calgary as a leader with our Cubs and Scouts.  It’s an annual event for us.  Each year seems to get bigger.  I wasn’t early enough to get the view that I wanted, but I’m tall, so I could manage some shots above the […]

Heidi and Gary are a great couple. It was a pleasure to photograph them. They were sealed in the Cardston, Alberta Temple. I was privileged to attend the ceremony. There is no photography permitted inside the temple. I can best describe it as simple, elegant, and divine. This was only a week after Bior’s wedding […]

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 […]

From Canoe Camp I love canoeing. It has the best of everything about camping. You get a peaceful paddle down a meandering river, interrupted at times with the roller-coaster excitement of rapids. I love the feeling of the water gently pulling me along while the bottom of the river whizzes by. It’s like the description […]
