Christmas Ordering Deadline

I'm starting to get asked about when orders need to be placed to ensure that they arrive in time for Christmas. Although the normal turnaround time for orders is 7-10 days (or longer for custom designed pieces), rush orders can often be done in as few as 4 days (additional charges may apply). Having said that, Christmas is always busier for the suppliers that I use and also for the shipping companies. Please try to allow at least 2 weeks for standard orders to be sure they arrive in time for Christmas. If you could get your orders in by Friday, December 11th that would be ideal. After that date please call and I'll do the best that I can to get your order done in time! It may be possible to get orders completed in time for Christmas as late as December 21st; however, special shipping arrangements (and increased cost) may be required. Note that Gift Certificates are also available at any time. These make great last-minute gifts for those hard-to-buy-for people!

Image in Use: eCanada Bond Review

I was recently contracted to create an editorial image for the Fall/Winter issue of "eCanada Bond Review", which is a financial industry trade publication produced by CanDeal for their clients. The image was to support an article about the City of Calgary's use of electronic trading technology in its treasury department, and was to feature 2 city employees. There were no specific instructions on what the image should depict, other than it should be a portrait of the 2 employees. I wanted to create an image that showed something of Calgary rather than to just show the employees in a faceless corporate environment (as editorial images used in corporate magazines so often do). Because the subjects of the photo both work at City Hall in Calgary it immediately made sense to step outside so that we could include the Calgary Tower in the image. We shot a number of other corporate style images using the glass and metal of the Plus 15 as a backdrop, but I was pretty sure that they would end up using one of the Calgary Tower images. Sure enough they did. You can download the magazine from the publications section of the CanDeal website if you want to learn more.

Cancer Sucks, and I want to do something about it!

Movember (the month formerly known as November) is a global campaign responsible for ugly moustaches appearing on faces all over Canada and the world. With their “Mo’s” proudly on display these men raise hundreds or even thousands of dollars each to build awareness and support research unto men's health issues, specifically prostate cancer. Cancer Sucks Yes, cancer sucks. But we can do something about it! Although it has been a couple of years since I directly participated in this campaign by growing a Mo, this will be the 4th year in a row that I have participated. I have a great group of buddies that have been proudly growing their Mo's every year and I have always photographed the final result. You can see some of the fun and ridiculous photos that have resulted at the bottom of this page. But before you do that, please use the links below to click through and learn how you can support my Movember campaign by donating, or even better, by participating in Movember by growing your own Mo! If you don't like donating online then you can download a Movember donation form to send by mail instead. Mo Portraits - FREE Don't forget to come back here every now and then throughout the month of Movember to learn more about some of the prizes and specials I will be running for those of you that participate. The first special offer is that I will offer a free “Mo Portrait” session to anyone that joins my team and grows their own Mo. This will be a short session at the end of the month to photograph the final result of your Mo growing effort so that you can [...]

Ken Eddy | Better Business Portraits

I had a great session with Calgary Realtor Ken Eddy to create some updated business portraits for his websites and marketing materials. He wanted a good variety of photography that he could use on the various websites that he uses to promote his businesses. While Ken is a Real Estate Broker with Re/Max in Calgary, and he is also a professional speaker and he has a new website coming online to promote his Real Estate Training seminars. He specifically wanted some images that would show off his look as a speaker. I suggested that we photograph all of the images on a white backdrop so that the background could easily be cut out so that the images could be adapted for whatever use they were required for.
