Recent Images from the Summer

It has been a very busy summer and I really haven't been able to take the time to do the regular posts on the site that I would normally do. While preparing the newsletter that goes out today (click to subscribe to the newsletter) I knew that I really wanted to show off some of work I've been doing recently, but there was just too much to show and to talk about it all in one email. So instead I created a collage with some of my favorite images from the last few months. Here are all of those images and you can click on each one to see them in their full glory!

Now Booking Fall Portrait Sessions

It's never too early to book a fall portrait session for your family, especially when fall in Calgary is just around the corner! I know it's only just the beginning of September, but fall can land in Calgary anytime in mid-September and the fall colors may only last until mid-October. Last year we had a glorious fall and the fall colours lasted well into November, but you never know if that's going to happen again this year or not! So far it looks like we are in fact having another late summer in Calgary, but you'd be better off safe than sorry, so book your family fall portrait sitting now! I have only a limited number of weekend sessions available in the next few weeks, so please don't wait to call. If you have a specific time or location that you'd like to meet please feel free to ask. Note that I am a custom portrait photographer and I do everything I can to ensure that every photography session is perfect. One way that I do that is by only booking one portrait session in the morning and one session in the afternoon on available weekend dates. I don't cram sessions in one after the other, and therefore I only have a limited number of fall portrait sessions available this year... Call me now at 403-615-3708 to schedule your Calgary Fall Portrait Photography Session.

Charity & Bruce | Wedding Sneak Peek

The Wedding of Charity Derksen and Bruce Potter on August 20, 2011 I first met Charity this past winter a very cold day at River Park Dog Park. She brought her dog Lola to a pet portrait mini-session that I had arranged in partnership with Pawsitively Natural Dog Daycare. Although her session was pretty short (because we were all freezing), it was a beautiful day and the conditions for photography were great. I was excited by all of the images that I made for her. There was one shot in particular where everything came together with this incredibly soft and beautiful light and I knew that I had nailed it! I remember saying to myself "Oh... this could be good!" Fast forward a few months to the summer... I was checking my email one day when up pops a note from Charity asking for some pricing for photography for her upcoming wedding. I was instantly excited and very happy that she would consider using me for such an important day! I immediately thought back to that lovely winter day... We got together a couple of weeks ago for an engagement session. I love doing this kind of session because they are much more relaxed than the wedding day and it gives me and the couple a chance to get to know each other a little better before the big day. I love their engagement photos so much and it gave me some extra confidence that their wedding day was going to be perfect too! Thanks so much to both Charity and Butch, and to all of your family members, for allowing me to participate in this celebration. Your love for each other is easy to [...]

Canadian Ultimate Championships 2011

I recently had the good fortune to compete at the 2011 Canadian Ultimate Championships (CUC) in Ottawa, Ontario. I went as a member of Epic, which is one of 2 Alberta Masters teams that competed in the tournament. I've been playing the sport of Ultimate for almost 20 years and this is the 3rd time I've been able to play at the CUC. Although my team and I didn't do so well in the tournament this time around, playing at a National Championship event is truly an amazing experience and I will always be proud that I was able to go. We had a great time and it was definitely worth the effort we put in to get there. Although playing in the tournament kept me very busy, I did manage to photograph some of my teammates in action. I was also able to catch some parts of a few of the other games played by Calgary teams at the tournament. Unfortunately the majority of the Calgary teams were scheduled to play in all the same time slots and therefore I really wasn't able to see as many of their games as I would have liked to watch... Here are a few of my favorite images from the tournament, including players from Epic (Masters), FigJam vs. Glum (Masters), Wild Rose vs. Salty (Women's), and CUJO (Juniors).

Canvas Gallery Wrap Mock-Ups

Canvas Print Mockup I have many clients that are interested in Canvas prints but who hesitate because they aren't sure what they final image will look like. I now have a tool that allows me to prepare a mock-up of a canvas print using actual images from your session. So if you're curious about what a Gallery Wrapped Canvas Print of one of your images might look like, please feel free to ask and I will put together a mock-up for you. It's a great way to get a good feel for what the canvas will look like after being installed on your wall! This particular image is of Amy, who was a participant in the recent Calendar sessions that I did for my friend Lor-Ann at Pawsitive Dawgs Training. If you have a friend or family member that might need a little bit of coaching about how to work with their dog I can highly recommend Lori. She is great with the dogs, and teaches their people really well too!
