Marissa Reckmann | Better Business Portrait

Marissa Reckmann Headshot Marissa recently came into my home studio for a Social Media Mini portrait session. She is the Director of Environmental Operations at AGAT Laboratories and needed a new headshot for use on the company website and her social media accounts. If you only need one image then these are very quick sessions and I try to make them as easy and painless as possible for you. This portrait was created on a rich red backdrop, but I have a wide variety of other backgrounds to choose from. When you book your headshot appointment we will discuss a few details, including the intended use of the image and the clothes you might wear, and I can help you choose the backdrop that you would like to use. I love this red one and I need to remember to use it more often! To learn more about Business Portrait sessions and to see some example images you can check out my dedicated Calgary Headshots website. AGAT Laboratories is a highly specialized, Canadian-based company that provides laboratory services worldwide. The company's operations encompass 12 scientific divisions to offer full-service solutions to multiple industry types within the Environmental, Energy, Mining, Industrial, Transportation, Agri-Food and Life Sciences sectors.

Movember Finale

Movember Self Portrait It's Not too Late to Donate This is a self-portrait I created to commemorate the final day of Movember 2011. It's been a good run but I'm excited to shave this thing off. Thanks to everyone for the support! We didn't raise as much money as I had hoped this year, but the Movember campaign really went mainstream. It really seemed like everyone was already inundated with information about it, so I didn't advertise my campaign as much I had planned to. That's good news though because I'm certain that a lot more money was raised this year than in any year in the past! If you haven't donated yet you still can! Your donation will support research and awareness of prostate cancer. If you don't like donating online then you can download a Movember donation form to send by mail instead.

Fine Art Prints make Great Christmas Presents

Calgary Skyline in the Ice Fog New Images in the Fine Art Prints Gallery I have recently added a couple of new images to the Fine Art Prints Gallery in the client area of the website. This brings the total number if images available in this collection to 26. These images are selected from my favorite nature and landscape images, and mostly come from the Canadian Rocky Mountains or the Prairies East of Calgary. These beautiful images make great Christmas presents. If you are trying to find a perfect gift for someone that's hard to buy for or if you just want to get something a little different this year then this gallery might be perfect for you. All of the images in the gallery are available as Photographic Prints, Canvas Gallery Wraps, or they can be Framed. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and finishes. If you are into finishing them yourself then you can go for a simple print; however, you can also buy a completely finished piece that comes fully assembled and ready to hang. Custom products are also available if there is something specific you have in mind. View the images in the Fine Art Prints Gallery

Print credits? What are print credits?

Nelson Siblings at The Ranche Print credits? What are print credits? I get that question all the time! Up to now my Lifestyle and Studio Portrait sessions were charged at a fixed price that included a dollar value that could be used toward a future order of gift prints, collections, or enlargements. Almost every one of my clients over the last year has had questions about what that meant, how they could be used, and so on. I have simplified the entire process! Yay! Going forward every family or children's portrait session will include a specific set of products rather than a dollar value worth of print credits. For example the Lifestyle Portrait Session and the Studio Portrait Session both include an 8x10, (2) 5x7's and a set of 8 wallets. This included items could change in the future but for now that's what it is. This will be much easier for everyone to understand and I am very excited to implement it! Note that this has not yet changed for some of the other types of sessions I offer. For example, maternity sessions, newborn sessions, and weddings all still include print credits. When I get some more time I will be completely revamping those guides as well...
