Finding David | Bellewether Album Release Party

Readers of my blog may remember that I did a creative photo session with Calgary based Indie Pop and Rock band Bellewether a few months ago... Well the images have finally been put to use! There are photos of the band on their website, Facebook, and MySpace pages, and they also used one of the creative portraits on the cover of the album. I was excited to learn that they basically used the image as-is, without making any major changes to it after I provided it to them! The Album Release Party is this Saturday night: Date: Saturday August 6, 2011 (Doors open at 07:00) Location: Quality Hotel Airport, 4804 Edmonton Trail N.E., Calgary, AB, T2E 3V8 You can buy tickets in advance at the Bellewether website, or try to get lucky and get them at the door on Saturday. You can see more of the images from my portrait session with the band at the following article: Bellewether Album Cover Shoot

Steven Owad | Author Headshots

I had the pleasure of creating headshots for Steven Owad recently. Steven is a local crime novelist who has 2 published books to his credit. He is currently working on another book (Hard Currency, coming in June of 2012) and he needed some new portraits for use on his website and marketing materials. The image(s) will also be used for the cover of the new book. We had a fun creative portrait session and made lots of great images for Steve to choose from. Some of them were done on a white backdrop to make them easier to "cut out" from the background. You can see these images in use on Steven's updated website... Here are a few of my favorites:

PDawgs Portrait Session

Lori-Ann is the owner of Pawsitive Dawgs Training & Pet Services and she needed some updated images of her dog Murphy for use on her website and in her marketing materials. She has a beautiful old car that has been perfectly restored and decorated with her logo on the windows. She wanted to include the car in some of the images with Murphy in or on the car, and with the Calgary skyline in the background. I suggested that we met at Rotary Park (in Northeast Calgary) because it has easy access to some great views of the city and also a beautiful green space that we could use for the portraits. It was a beautiful day and we got some great photos! About PDawgs: Pawsitive Dawgs will challenge your thinking and what you’ve learned about dog training in the past. We offer a 'no fluff, no nonsense' training method that will help you create a true bond of mutual trust and respect between you and your dog, all without using treats or other masking tools such as prong or choke collars. We may just have a little fun along the way too! Read More...

Headquarters Bookkeeping & Tax | Better Business Portraits

I went into the offices of a Calgary based Headquarters Bookkeeping & Tax to create new headshots for each of their employees for use on their website. They have recently expanded into some extra office space and they had a great conference room that I could use to set up my portable studio equipment to do their portraits right in their workspace. I really enjoy working on-location and this was a perfect situation where I was able to make it easy for the employees to go about their business until I needed them... Headquarters provide consulting, bookkeeping, management, tax, and corporate registry services for small businesses in the Calgary area. They specialize in improving the financial health of trade professionals (construction, carpentry, or other contract services), but they also work with other small businesses to get their finances in order.
