SMArt Headshots | Better Business Portraits

I had an opportunity to create Business Portraits for the team at a local Calgary IT company called Service Management Art (SMArt). They needed a Portrait Photographer to make headshots for use on their website, social media accounts, and print materials. We had a fun portrait session in their offices and I came away with a few great images that I'm very happy with. Those of you that have heard me speak at a Calgary business networking meeting probably know how I feel about bad business portraits... they need to go away! Your business headshot is the first thing that people see when they look you up on your company website, on LinkedIn, on Facebook, or even on Twitter. If you want to make a great first impression then your headshot needs to look great too. Thanks to Peter Lijnse at SMArt for choosing me to create Better Business Portraits for his team.

Pawsitively Natural Puppy Meetup

My friends at Pawsitively Natural Dog Daycare hosted the "North Calgary Puppy and Small Breed Doggie Play Group" for some indoor play time on Sunday, March 6th and I was invited to photograph the pets at play. It was quite chaotic with the large number of dogs and people all there at the same time, but the dogs had lots of fun. I tried create some great candid images of all of the dogs, and during some of the quieter moments I also had some of the owners help by posing their pet friends. It's always very challenging to try to create great images when it's so chaotic, but I managed to get some pictures that I'm very happy with. The dogs were all very cute, friendly, and happy, and I even had a couple that decided I made a pretty good chair! It was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon! A few of my favorite images from the session can be found at the end of this post, and all of the processed images are available for viewing in the Client Area. Special Prices for Participants I am making these images available to the participants for purchase at dramatically discounted pricing vs. our normal studio rates. Prices for the most popular sizes and options can be found in a special price list that you can download using the following link: » Puppy Meetup Group Price List « Additional sizes and options are available upon request.

Picture Day for Teams and Clubs

I know it seems like summer and summer sports are still a long way off, but it's never too early to start planning your sports activities. Registration has already come and gone for many Calgary summer sports leagues, and the rest of them can't be too far off. So with that in mind I wanted to provide some information about the Picture Day packages that I can offer for Sports Teams and Clubs. If you are a volunteer or an administrator with a Team or Club, or even a service organization that might be interested in organizing a Picture Day, I would appreciate it if you would please have a close look our guide for standard Picture Day Packages & Pricing for Teams & Clubs. Whether you are looking for individual portraits for each member of your club, or if you just want a great group photo, I would be happy to work with you to tailor a package that will meet your needs. Please feel free to contact me if you don’t see exactly what you need here. I play and participate in lots of sports myself, and my kids are very active too. So I have a great feel for how to get the best looks out of the players and participants. I'm also happy to help with the organization of the Picture Day which can make your life easier. Examples: Sports Action with the Mako Water Polo Club Chinook Outriders Motorcycle Club Photoshoot Carburn Sports Youth Soccer Picture Sports teams and leagues that would be great contacts for me include: Soccer Baseball Football Hockey Ultimate Ringette Volleyball Basketball Clubs that I would love to work with include Sparks, Brownies, or Girl Guides [...]

Candid Images from Ladies Night of Indulgence

I had a really great time at "Ladies Night of Indulgence" last Saturday! This event was tons of fun and the interaction between all the participants and between the vendors was fantastic. We had all kinds of decadence to choose from and everyone was really engaged. They had a wide selection of things to try out: chocolate, wine, jewelery, skin and hair care products. There were also booths to learn about health and wellness options including massage, postural assessments, and nutritional products. And of course I was there with my photo studio to create Headshots and Business Portraits for anyone that was interested. All in all it was a very fun event and we're already looking into doing another one soon. I'm hoping that the next one will be in South East Calgary instead of in the North West. Stay tuned for details! Whenever I attend an event or a trade show I always try to capture a few candid images of the vendors and the participants as they enjoy the show. Here are a few of those images that may help give you a feel for the show!

Laszlo Business Portrait Session

It's funny how the work I do goes in waves. For awhile it seemed like I was a full-time Pet Photographer. More recently I've been very busy doing Business Portraits for small-business owners. Everybody in business needs a headshot and it's very important that they look great. A business portrait is usually the first thing that people see when they are looking for information about other businesses and their employees and owners, so these sessions are very important to me. And getting together with other entrepreneurs is always lots of fun, so I really enjoy doing them! Here are a couple of headshots from a Business Portrait session with Adrianna Laszlo, a Calgary based IT Consultant. Adrianna needed Headshots for her website and her various social media accounts. We had a fun session in my home studio and I'm really happy with the results.
