A Recent Dog Photography Session

This will be just a quick post to share a few images from a recent pet photography session I had with a very cute dog. I love playing with and photographing dogs and this cutie was great at both. As soon as I arrived he ran right up to me and we started playing. When I was ready to make a few pictures he immediately settled down and did everything I asked. It makes my job so much easier when the subject does what I ask! Dogs and children are usually much more free-spirited, so this was a real treat for me. He did add his own personal flavor to the session though and I got a few very interesting images beyond the standard portraits that I was trying to make! I've got more pet photography sessions planned in the next couple of weeks, so stay tuned for related posts coming soon.

In Memorium

I took my children down to see the memorial crosses that have been erected along Memorial Drive (in Calgary) in honour of all of the fallen soldiers with ties to Calgary. Over 1500 crosses were placed this year. While very sad, it is also really quite amazing and it was really nice to be able to take the kids there and to try to explain to them what it was all about. Although I have no direct ties (that I know of) to Robert Phillips, it was interesting to find someone with whom we share a name. This was the only cross we could find for anyone named Phillips...

One on Wednesday

Here's a very cute photo of my son Andrew that I thought I'd share today. We have a wedding to go to just before Christmas and some new clothes were required. Some of our family members that live in far away parts of the country wanted to see the new outfits, so I quickly put my portrait studio into action! This is Andrew's first suit. Although he's not so sure about the tie, he's pretty proud of how he looks in his new "costume". I think he's pretty dapper myself! But I have to say that I'm pretty shocked by how grown up he looks while all dressed up. Of course you have to look past his goofy look with the tongue sticking out and the Teddy Bear in his arm in order to see that... But that's how it goes when photographing children; sometimes you have to let them do what they need to do in order to get comfortable. If Andrew wants to bring his Teddy Bear into the studio, he's welcome to do it. Have a great hump day!

Images in Use: Mako Water Polo Club Poster

A number of sports images that I recently created for the Calgary Mako Water Polo Club have been used for a poster that the club will be using to advertise for prospective new players. It's always fun and exciting to see how people use photography in different ways... This poster should be posted in public areas, pools, and recreation facilities in South East Calgary. Let me know if you see a copy of it in the wild! To see larger copies of some of these images please check out the blog post at http://www.riverwoodphotography.com/sports/sports-action-mako-water-polo-club Prints and Digital Downloads are also available at http://events.RiverwoodPhotography.com.

Pardon the Interruptions…

Frequent visitors to the site may have noticed a lot of turbulence lately. It's an unforunate situation, but my web hosting provider has been having a whole swack of trouble lately (yes, that is the technical term for it) keeping everything running. I understand that they've rolled out a bunch of hardware changes that should stabilize the situation shortly. As an added bonus they've also introduced some cool new software that they are expecting to make my web sites load much faster. I'm hopeful that all of that will be rolled out by tomorrow. So thanks to everyone for sticking through it with me, and let's look forward to the good times that are supposed to be coming!
