Free Desktop Wallpaper for November 2010

This months background wallpaper image comes from The Ranche in Fish Creek Park in South East Calgary. I had a fall family portrait session scheduled at The Ranche so I arrived early to take advantage of the beautiful day! I had a great time exploring the area and made a bunch of detail images. The textures of the peeling paint on some of the fence boards and the walls of the barns are very cool. This particular image comes from the walls of a vibrant red barn on the site. This barn is very commonly used as a backdrop for portraits, but it's very beautiful on its own too! Please let me know if there are any other formats or sizes you would like to see. Download To install the images as your desktop background, simply click on the link below depending on the file resolution you would like to use, then right-click on the larger image and select “Set as Desktop Background...”. Enjoy.

Sports Action with the Mako Water Polo Club

I had the honor of being asked to create images for the Calgary Mako Water Polo Club for use on their website. I will be donating any images that they wish to use for the site, and I have also made the images available to the players and parents to purchase. Prints and Digital Downloads are available for direct purchase at http://events.RiverwoodPhotography.com. I've been out to three of the club's practices so far. I was at the pool at the Calgary Jewish Community Center on October 16th and 28th, and also at the Talisman Center on October 25th. I would be happy to go out again if any of the players or parents are interested in getting some additional images. Thanks to all the players for working so hard and for helping me to make some great pictures of them. These kids honestly put their hearts and souls into their practices and they swim a lot at each practice. I can only image the effort they must put in during their games and tournaments... I love doing sports photography and covering these practices really made me want to do more of it! If you belong to a sports club or team and you have a game or an event that you would like me to cover, please contact me! Here are a few of my favorite images from the three practice sessions:

Fall Portraits with the Robinson Family

I got to spend a lovely fall day at The Ranche in Fish Creek Park with my friend Eric and his family. I've known Eric for many years, and I was honored when he asked me to do a portrait session with his family. It was really great to meet his wife Erika and their very happy 7 month old son Drake. The best part was that we got to spend a few hours outside enjoying a beautiful day!

Baby Syrus – Safe in Dad’s Arms

This is a short post to share an image from a recent newborn session. Baby Syrus was just two weeks old when I met him and he was very comfortable with anyone holding him. To see him snuggle into has dad's shoulder was absolutely precious and I just had to share it.
