Corporate Headshots | Calgary Staff Photography

admin — Thu, 17 May 2012 23:33:19 +0000

Having a mobile studio is handy for a photographer who has to go on location to do staff photos. Most corporations, companies, and businesses at some point will need photos of their CEO and other management or employees. Whether the photos are for annual reports, brochures, or just the website, it’s important to get quality, professional photography to best support your careful corporate branding. And it’s never too late; if your business has older photos on your website taken by a staff member with a point and shoot camera, why not upgrade and feature your team members professionally?

I do many of these headshots for oil & gas and engineering companies downtown. If you’re looking for some more information, including pricing and cost of the headshots, please read this PDF, and contact me if interested in a booking for your company.

Here are just a few examples of a recent Calgary headshot photos sessions downtown:

Downtown Calgary Wedding Photographer | Heather & Greg

admin — Wed, 16 May 2012 02:43:30 +0000

Looking through these pictures gets me really excited for the Calgary wedding season to start. My first of the year is only a few days away, and I can’t wait to photograph it!

Heather and Greg were a delight to work with, both so happy and easy-going. We took wedding photos all over the city, from the Rundle Ruins to Scotsman’s Hill, to the graffiti behind The Camera Store. Their reception was at the Danish Canadian Club. They both got ready at the same hotel, so I was able to run between the rooms to photograph each of them in their getting ready preparation. It was a great day and such a delight to photograph these two who are so sweet and so in love.

I think Heather is a stunning bride, she has such beautiful blue eyes.

I loved her bouquet, calla lilies and irises, so different!

So cute, just look at these two together!

Marc & Melissa | Calgary Stephen Avenue Engagement Photos

admin — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 19:10:45 +0000

This session was the first time I had met Marc; he was visiting Canada so we took the opportunity to do their engagement photos, despite the cold that we’re still getting here. I had already met Melissa when she booked me to photograph their Friday wedding in Cochrane — so it was lovely to see this cute, warm couple together. Stephen Avenue in downtown Calgary is a great spot, no matter the time of year (and what the weather is doing), so Marc and Melissa chose it as a location to photograph. Here are a few photos from our session:

Baby Gemma | Calgary Newborn Baby Photographer

I think there’s a baby boom happening in Calgary, because I have been photographing a lot of newborns. Here are some photos of one of those recent arrivals, Gemma. She is so cute and was so good for the whole shoot! It was a pleasure meeting her and her proud parents.

Siobhan & Shawn | Calgary Engagement Photographer

admin — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 05:18:32 +0000

It can be a bit of a challenge to find a location in Calgary this time of year. Springtime comes late to this part of the world, and nothing gets green until late May. So, we chose the Calgary Zoo for Siobhan and Shawn’s engagement photography. I love doing photography there; there’s the lush and green conservatory for some indoor photos with lovely light streaming down from the greenhouse-style glass ceiling. It is pretty hot and humid in there, but it’s easy enough to pop outside for a few shots to cool down (and get back to the dry cold we’re all used to around here). I think the conservatory is a great place for anyone experiencing some winter fatigue to just go and sit on the edge of the fountain. During the right time of day, with the sunshine, bright tropical flowers, fountain, and the heat, you can almost imagine you’re on a mini vacation somewhere warm. They may frown on anyone taking a dip in the fountain’s pool to cool down, however.

These two were lovely and fun to photograph, agreeable to whatever silly things I had them do. Their daughter is as cute as a button and I am looking forward to seeing them again to shoot their wedding, which is just around the corner!

Baby Kennedy | Calgary Newborn Photographer

A few shots from a recent photo session with a lovely family, and their newborn baby girl. She was so cute, and so calm the entire time. Onto the pictures!

Ali & Jarrad | Winter Snow Canmore Engagement Photos

admin — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 07:37:02 +0000

I had a great time with these two (and their dog) out in Canmore for their engagement session. It was pretty perfect in Canmore, with freshly fallen snow, but it was still warm enough to walk around comfortably. I gotta say, I love snow photography. Snow lends such a pretty backdrop, and when there’s snow on the ground, it acts like a reflector, filling in shadows and making skin look really good. That makes my job as a photographer easy! We went to two locations while we were doing Canmore photography, the first was up at Quarry Lake, and the other was at the engine bridge. They were both popular spots on a Saturday afternoon; the former because it’s partially an off-leash dog park and it was the first nice day in a while. When we got to the engine bridge, there was a wedding photographer there already with a whole wedding group doing photos! We waited patiently until they had gotten through their portraits and their family photos, before we took our turn on the bridge. I think you can tell from the photos that these two are in love, and up for all kinds of silly fun in front of the camera. We ended the engagement session with a quick trip to Starbucks for some warm up beverages, and then drove back to Calgary on clear roads, on a clear day. All in all a pretty awesome afternoon. Here are a few of the photos!

Sleepy Newborn | Calgary Baby Photography

admin — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 09:44:59 +0000

Just one from the newborn session with this adorable 10-day old. It was great to see this family again, who I had photographed previously. Sleepy and adorable…

Amanda & Jeff Calgary Winter Wedding

admin — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 06:21:21 +0000

Amanda told me that she had always planned on having a winter wedding. And I don’t blame her, they are really beautiful — white snow, festive decorations, what’s not to love? Two days before Christmas we had a lovely, clear, and (fairly) warm winter day in Calgary for this wedding. After the ceremony and reception we went to the nearby Carburn Park for a few outdoor photos. I felt a little guilty bundled up in my blouse, sweater, scarf, coat and gloves while all of the girls were walking around outside in sleeveless dresses — but they stuck it out! Troopers.

The whole day was laid back, fun and mellow. Both Amanda and Jeff are awesome to be around, and were one of the least stressed couples I have ever photographed on their wedding day. Or at least they seemed to be! Amanda was exceptionally organized and prepared, which I always appreciate, and all of her details (like the bouquets, and her necklace) were just perfect. The reception room, which I snuck into to get a few pictures before the ceremony, was stunning. The mirrored tabletops, the clear chairs, and especially the lighting — wow. Anyway, onto a few of the photos from this gorgeous Calgary winter wedding!

Banff Wedding Photography | Lexie & Craig

admin — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 08:52:44 +0000

I love love love doing wedding photography in Banff. The views and locations are the best — how can you beat water, wilderness, and mountains? I adore both Canmore and Banff and will take pretty much any opportunity to take photos there. Wedding or otherwise! So I was really pleased when Lexie and Craig chose me to be their wedding photographer. We did their engagement photos in Calgary, but it was off to the mountains for the wedding. Both Lexie and Craig and their families were delightful to spend the day with, and had a warm and happy day of celebrating (despite the chill and wind!).

I started the day with a bit of the guys getting ready…

The guys had to look up (online) how to properly pin a boutonniere — and then did it perfectly!

The ladies got ready at another location entirely…

Lexie brought us to a location overlooking Two Jack Lake (as I recall) for wedding pictures. What a fabulous backdrop, and even though it was super cold and windy, the girls in their little dresses managed to smile through the biting wind.

And then we were photobombed by a female bighorn sheep.

I made a special little ‘Banff wedding photography request’ for us to stop at a meadow I had noticed on the way to Two Jack Lake — thought it was a great spot for some nice landscape/bride and groom pictures.

Even though it was closed for the winter (sort of… it’s just that the flowers and plants had been dug up), we went to the Cascade Gardens behind the Banff National Park Administration Building for some photos with the wedding party.

And then it was just down to myself with the bride and the groom for some last pictures at Vermillion Lakes. I was so pleased that even in late fall, there were still some colourful fall leaves on some of the trees.

Craig’s sister did an amazing job designing the details of the wedding — the signage and menus were so cute. Everything had an owl theme. Homemade jams/jellies as favours? Love it.

Owls! So cute! Toppers from etsy.

Thank you both so much for letting me be a part of your wedding day!
