Personal – Holidays

It's been pretty quiet around these parts for the last few weeks... I was extremely busy from mid November through mid December trying to make sure that all my existing Calgary clients had all the gift prints and portraits that they needed ready to go in plenty of time for Christmas. And then I went on holidays myself. I've been very fortunate to be able to take a nice long break through the holiday period to spend lots of time with my family, and I've hardly even thought about photography in that time. Of course I've made plenty of images of my kids enjoying Christmas and spending lots of time with their cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc., but for me that hardly counts at all since I do that all the time anyway. It has been a really nice break and I'm feeling energized and ready to start the new year. I've got a few fun photography projects that are already in the works and plenty of other ideas for new and exciting things to offer in the coming weeks and months. I'm really looking forward to the coming year and I hope that you will be there with me! I thought I would share a few images that I made on a recent trip to the park with my kids (mostly to try to keep the crickets and moths away from this site). These images are very typical of a lifestyle portrait session that I do with children and families. One major difference is that I forgot to bring a comb to clean up my daughter's hair. Oh well, she's still beautiful even with messy hair! The park is in Winfield that and adjacent [...]

Pet Portraits at Pawsitively Natural Dog Daycare

Pet photography is lots of fun and so I was very excited while getting ready for this shoot. I got to hang out with a dozen dogs at Pawsitively Natural Dog Daycare. We started out by going for a long walk with 9 of the dogs. It was the first big snow day of the year in Calgary and so the outdoor shots were a little challenging due to the cold and the snow. We went back inside the daycare afterwards for some more pet playtime. One of the key images that I was trying to create was a shot of Eric (the owner of the day care) with all of the dogs spread out around him while they went for a walk. In my original vision of this shot there were beautiful leaves in their golden fall colors all around us. Sometimes you have to adapt to the reality of the sitution, and I'm actually really happy with the snowy images that were available to us! I have posted a few of my favorite images below, but you can find all of the pictures (indexed by dog) at http://events.RiverwoodPhotography.com. Prints and Digital Downloads are available for purchase there. I'm looking forward to working with Eric and his clients more in the future. In fact we have another event already planned for December 4th. Please consider joining us for some supervised play at the Riverpark Off Leash Dog Park on December 4th at 10:00 AM. Eric will be there with some special treats for each participant and he will also be available to give you some tips and tricks on how to improve your relationship with your pet. I will be there ready to create [...]

Free Desktop Wallpaper for November 2010

This months background wallpaper image comes from The Ranche in Fish Creek Park in South East Calgary. I had a fall family portrait session scheduled at The Ranche so I arrived early to take advantage of the beautiful day! I had a great time exploring the area and made a bunch of detail images. The textures of the peeling paint on some of the fence boards and the walls of the barns are very cool. This particular image comes from the walls of a vibrant red barn on the site. This barn is very commonly used as a backdrop for portraits, but it's very beautiful on its own too! Please let me know if there are any other formats or sizes you would like to see.

Fall Portraits with the Robinson Family

I got to spend a lovely fall day at The Ranche in Fish Creek Park with my friend Eric and his family. I've known Eric for many years, and I was honored when he asked me to do a portrait session with his family. It was really great to meet his wife Erika and their very happy 7 month old son Drake. The best part was that we got to spend a few hours outside enjoying a beautiful day!

Free Desktop Wallpaper for October 2010

This months background wallpaper image comes from Carburn Park in Calgary. The trees in the Calgary area are at the peak of the fall colors right now and they are very beautiful. I’ve been spending lots of time at the park lately doing family and children’s portraits so I’ve had plenty of time to watch in awe as the colors have changed. The ponds at the park have been completely still every morning and I’ve wanted to capture it for awhile. I finally had a chance to create a beautiful landscape image that I hope you'll enjoy as much as I do! Please let me know if there are any other formats or sizes you would like to see.
