Portrait Photography

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.

Calgary Headshots & Business Portraits

I had a session at a local business to create some headshots for use at an upcoming conference. The client will be presenting at the conference and he needed a Speakers Headshot for use in the conference handouts and other collateral materials. He was very busy in advance of the session and he needed a Calgary Photographer that could come to him in order to make his portrait instead of having to take the time to go into a studio somewhere. He was very happy to learn about our on-location photography services, and even happier that we were able to get the portrait done quickly and efficiently. The portable studio equipment that we use is very high quality and we can set it up just about anywhere. This is one of the advantages of choosing a custom portrait photographer... You get exactly what you want, where and when YOU need it. Is your business portrait up to date? If the image you're using doesn't really look like you anymore (or perhaps you're still using a picture of your dog or cat) then you should consider giving us a call!

David West | Better Business Portraits

I had the honor of photographing a Calgary businessman recently to create business headshots for use on his website and marketing materials. David West is a Social Media Consultant and Professional Speaker, and the owner of Ekzact Solutions. Ekzact is a leading Calgary website design and search engine optimization company. They specialize in creating custom websites for small to medium-sized businesses and help them to get ranked higher on Google and ultimately convert leads to sales. If you're in business and your website is not performing to your expectations then you really need to see Ekzact for a free consultation. David needed updated headshots to use on a rebuild of his personal website and he wanted to be able to cut out the background so that the images would blend into the existing colors on the site. I have a selection of backdrops available and I would normally recommend something more attractive than pure white for business portraits, but when the background is going to be removed anyway then the best choice is to use something clean and simple without any patterns. We decided that a pure white seamless paper backdrop would be a great choice for this session so that extraction of the backdrop in Photoshop would be easy. I can create custom photography solutions to make your life easier. If you have a specific use for your final images please let me know and I can work with you to determine the best approach. No job is too big or small...

Kelsey Frank | Better Business Portrait

The weather is finally warming up in Calgary and I'm starting to see some call for outdoor portrait sessions. This is fantastic news as I would honestly rather do all of my sessions outside! The local parks are amazing and I love meet my clients there. These are images that I created for a local small business owner for her website, social media accounts, and marketing materials. Kelsey is the owner of Tossy Tossy, which is a brand new Professional Organizing company in Calgary. Less Is More! This is the motto of Tossy Tossy Inc! We are a Professional Organizing company specializing in home organization. We come to your home to help you identify what needs to be address to make your house the home you want it to be. This can be as simple as organizing part of one room up to organization of an entire house! It was a pleasure to work with Kelsey. Her sparkling personality shines through all the time and it was easy to create some great images of her. When I work with small business owners I always try to work with them to get images that will best reflect their brand. People in the financial and insurance industries generally want fairly conservative images, and actors usually go for much more flamboyant looks. In this case I was really trying to play up her Sassy (or Cheeky) nature because I think that it works well with Kelsey's company name... She was very happy with the images and I think they turned out great!
