New Client Order Entry System

This is a first-look announcement that I have recently installed a brand new order entry system in the client area! The new system is a full-featured shopping cart that allows for direct order entry by you the client. This is a quantum leap forward vs. my old system! You will have full access to order packages, prints, and other products on the site, and pay for them immediately. You will be able to select the images you want in each package and in each size. You will be able to see exactly what your order is going to cost and how many print credits you have available to use. This is going to make my life (and yours) so much easier following a photography session, and I am very excited about this change! For now I have only been able to include a limited range of products, but eventually this will expand to include the majority of stock products that I offer, including photo books and albums. Custom products will always be available by contacting me directly. The old client area has already been replaced with the new system and all previous client galleries have been deactivated. For various reasons I will be transferring a limited number of the old galleries over to the new system, but I will not be automatically activating every gallery. If you are looking for images from one of your past sessions please let me know and I would be happy to transfer your gallery as well. If you're interested in checking out the new order entry system please feel free to visit the Client Area of the site and check out the Fine Art Prints gallery. This gallery is [...]

Are you still using a picture of your dog instead of a Professional Headshot?

Updated Packages for Headshots and Business Portraits I have very recently revamped and simplified my options and packages for Headshots and Business portraits. My clients have been asking for simplified pricing for a while, and many really didn't understand why they might choose one of the old packages over another, so I have cleaned all that up! If you have a moment to check out my Headshots Portfolio and the updated Business Portrait Pricing Guide I would appreciate it. Please contact me if you have any questions about the changes? Online Registration for Headshot Appointments About Business Portraits Professional Headshots and Business Portraits are essential for use on corporate websites, social media accounts (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.), actor portfolios, and even your print marketing materials. If you haven't looked at your Headshot in a while, you need to do so now! Does it still look like you? Does it represent the image you're trying to portray for your business or your personal brand? Do you even have a real headshot (a picture of your dog, cat, or child doesn't count!)? If the answer to any of these questions is no, you really need to contact me!

Kelsey Frank | Better Business Portrait

The weather is finally warming up in Calgary and I'm starting to see some call for outdoor portrait sessions. This is fantastic news as I would honestly rather do all of my sessions outside! The local parks are amazing and I love meet my clients there. These are images that I created for a local small business owner for her website, social media accounts, and marketing materials. Kelsey is the owner of Tossy Tossy, which is a brand new Professional Organizing company in Calgary. Less Is More! This is the motto of Tossy Tossy Inc! We are a Professional Organizing company specializing in home organization. We come to your home to help you identify what needs to be address to make your house the home you want it to be. This can be as simple as organizing part of one room up to organization of an entire house! It was a pleasure to work with Kelsey. Her sparkling personality shines through all the time and it was easy to create some great images of her. When I work with small business owners I always try to work with them to get images that will best reflect their brand. People in the financial and insurance industries generally want fairly conservative images, and actors usually go for much more flamboyant looks. In this case I was really trying to play up her Sassy (or Cheeky) nature because I think that it works well with Kelsey's company name... She was very happy with the images and I think they turned out great!

New Client Testimonial

Client Testimonial from a Trash the Dress Session Testimonial - Trash the Dress and Engagement Photography I recently received this wonderful Client Testimonial from my friend Lauren. I've photographed Lauren and her husband Eddy many times over the last few years and long-time readers of this site may remember the Engagement Session and the Trash the Dress Photoshoot that I've previously posted. The Trash the Dress shoot in particular is one of the favorite and most memorable sessions that I've ever done. If you haven't seen it you should definitely check out the behind the scenes video slideshow from the trip... So, many thanks to Lauren for your kind words. It means a lot to me and I'm very thankful to have such a great friend! “When Sean first suggested a "Trash the Dress" photo shoot to me I thought it could be interesting but I wasn't quite sure what I was getting myself into. My husband and I love the mountains and after tossing around a few ideas Sean suggested hiking Cirque Peak. Cirque Peak is my favourite hike in the Banff area and I was so excited when Sean suggested it. Sean was an excellent sport and lugged a large amount of camera gear on a 16 km hike that ended at an elevation just under 10,000 ft. Sean was willing to go the extra mile to give us pictures that actually show who we are. Now my trash the dress photos are my favourite photos of the two of us. When people ask to see our wedding pictures I tend to skip over the actual wedding and jump right to the photos that Sean did for us. Sean was amazing to work [...]
