Free Desktop Wallpaper for August 2011

Free Desktop Wallpaper for August 2011 This months background wallpaper image comes from the Rock Glacier near the top of Highwood Pass in Kananaskis Country. This cute little critter is a Pika. They live in very rocky terrain in high-alpine locations. they are very photogenic and I love to watch them going about their business while in the mountains. We had some visitors from Ontario and we wanted to show them some of the beauty of the Canadian Rockies. In the summer the Highwood Pass area is a can't-miss location for stunning scenery and beautiful birds and wildlife. We hiked up to the top of Ptarmigan Cirque (which is probably the easiest hike in Kananaskis that lets you experience the true beauty of the Rockies while still actually getting a taste of hiking on glacial moraine above the tree-line) for a picnic and a great walk around the alpine meadow. We didn't see much wildlife on this part of the trip but we did find a couple of Pika's and the sounds of the Columbian Ground Squirrels calling all around us was very cool. On the way home we saw dozens of Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep and found quite a few more Pika's and Ground Squirrels during a stop at Rock Glacier. This is a can't-miss location for critter watching and I highly recommend you pull over for a short walk if you're ever in the Highwood Pass area. To find them you just need to stand still and watch for movement. The critters are all so well camouflaged that they can be standing right in front of you but if they're not moving you may never see them! They're pretty curious though, so they [...]

PDawgs Portrait Session

Lori-Ann is the owner of Pawsitive Dawgs Training & Pet Services and she needed some updated images of her dog Murphy for use on her website and in her marketing materials. She has a beautiful old car that has been perfectly restored and decorated with her logo on the windows. She wanted to include the car in some of the images with Murphy in or on the car, and with the Calgary skyline in the background. I suggested that we met at Rotary Park (in Northeast Calgary) because it has easy access to some great views of the city and also a beautiful green space that we could use for the portraits. It was a beautiful day and we got some great photos! About PDawgs: Pawsitive Dawgs will challenge your thinking and what you’ve learned about dog training in the past. We offer a 'no fluff, no nonsense' training method that will help you create a true bond of mutual trust and respect between you and your dog, all without using treats or other masking tools such as prong or choke collars. We may just have a little fun along the way too! Read More...

Headquarters Bookkeeping & Tax | Better Business Portraits

I went into the offices of a Calgary based Headquarters Bookkeeping & Tax to create new headshots for each of their employees for use on their website. They have recently expanded into some extra office space and they had a great conference room that I could use to set up my portable studio equipment to do their portraits right in their workspace. I really enjoy working on-location and this was a perfect situation where I was able to make it easy for the employees to go about their business until I needed them... Headquarters provide consulting, bookkeeping, management, tax, and corporate registry services for small businesses in the Calgary area. They specialize in improving the financial health of trade professionals (construction, carpentry, or other contract services), but they also work with other small businesses to get their finances in order.

Calgary Headshots & Business Portraits

I had a session at a local business to create some headshots for use at an upcoming conference. The client will be presenting at the conference and he needed a Speakers Headshot for use in the conference handouts and other collateral materials. He was very busy in advance of the session and he needed a Calgary Photographer that could come to him in order to make his portrait instead of having to take the time to go into a studio somewhere. He was very happy to learn about our on-location photography services, and even happier that we were able to get the portrait done quickly and efficiently. The portable studio equipment that we use is very high quality and we can set it up just about anywhere. This is one of the advantages of choosing a custom portrait photographer... You get exactly what you want, where and when YOU need it. Is your business portrait up to date? If the image you're using doesn't really look like you anymore (or perhaps you're still using a picture of your dog or cat) then you should consider giving us a call!
