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 [...]

A Year in Pictures – Short Version

I was given the opportunity to do a short (5 minute) presentation about my business today at the Calgary Professional Business Owners & Managers Meetup Group that I attend regularly, and I decided to use a fusion video slideshow of images to show off some of my favorite work from the past year. Some of you may remember another video slideshow that I showed here a couple of months ago entitled "A Year in Pictures". I was very happy with that presentation but the slideshow itself was over 5 minutes long, and so I had to cut it down. I'm calling this the short version of "A Year in Pictures" because it includes many of the images that I used in the longer one, but the total length of the slideshow is now just under 2 minutes. Using this version for my presentation today allowed me to talk about my Calgary Photography business while also showing just enough images to give the group a good overview of the type of photography that I'm capable of creating and interested in doing.
