Dog Photography with Pet ViTails

These images are from a fun-filled collaborative session with several dogs that Virginia McCullough from Pet ViTails arranged to have available for me. Pet ViTails is a professional pet care service and they would be happy to help you with dog walking, behavior correction, and medication administration for your pets. Virginia and I got together to create some portfolio images for both of our businesses. We did two sessions the same day. The first session was outside and involved 3 wonderfully happy and excited dogs. They were very excited to be together and did more running and playing than posing for the camera. We did manage to sneak in a few posed shots as well, but most of the images from this session were much more active than my normal sessions! The second session was a studio session with a beautiful yellow lab. He was much calmer than the other dogs and was relatively happy to relax in the studio setting and watch while I worked. Many thanks to Virginia from Pet ViTails for arranging to get the dogs for both of these sessions and for managing the talent while I made the images! Thanks also to the owners of the dogs for allowing us to use the services of their animal friends!

Girls Night Out! Calgary | The Women’s Information Network

A really great event called Girls Night Out! came to Calgary on Thursday night and I was very fortunate to be able to take part. "Girl's Night Out! is a fabulous, fun evening event where women learn, laugh, and connect with one another. These (free!) entertaining and educational events are sponsored by The Women’s Information Network (TheWINonline.com). The WIN is a community of women helping women, worldwide." The speakers were engaging and entertaining and the message was extremely powerful. I was asked to attend to photograph the event, both for posterity and to ensure that anyone in attendance who wanted a portrait made would have a chance. The latter part was somewhat difficult as the event was very popular and the room was full. I did manage to make a few great images, but more importantly I met lots of wonderful people and had lots of fun too! Thanks so much to everyone who attended and also to the organizers for allowing me to participate! Online Galleries All of the images from the event have been uploaded to the http://events.riverwoodphotography.com. Prints and Enlargements can be ordered from that gallery for delivery directly to you. Digital copies of each image are also available for download. the images have all been indexed into three categories to simplify your search: Candids, Portraits, and Speakers. Please feel free to contact me if you have any special requests or if there is a particular image you are looking for.

Carburn Sports Youth Soccer Pictures

I was honored to be able to take part in the Carburn Sports Youth Soccer program (U6, U8, and U10) picture day last Saturday. Thank you so much to everyone that came out to participate. Everything went extremely smoothly and we actually finished a little ahead of schedule. Everyone involved helped out to make it a very fun and straightforward process!

Enlargements and reprints can be ordered from that gallery for delivery directly to you. Digital copies of each image are also available for download.
