New Busines Cards :: Moo

I had a special delivery today! And it was just wanted I needed to perk me up since I was horribly sick last night and this morning. I ordered these beautiful new business cards from Moo.com. I had been waiting and waiting and then waiting some more to order them. Each card is printed on quality photo business card paper and features a different photo.

They're amazing right?

It's a party!

Just a sneak peak for Jenn from her dad's 60th birthday this weekend! I felt so honoured to be asked to take photos for the milestone occasion.

Fall Family Fun II

Yulia and her daughter were another fall family session this past week. Isn't she just gorgeous?! When we were corresponding back and forth through email trying to set up a session for her, Yulia mentioned that she liked the photos she had seen that I had done last year of a woman on a car so we replicated the shot but made it unique to her.

This one was probably my favourite shot from the session.

Photo Adventures

This weekend I attended the digital camera expo's trade show with Chris Pearson of Turtle Soul Photography. If you haven't heard of Chris, he's an amateur stock photographer. I enjoy checking out his photo blog daily because he does a photo every single day. Surprisingly enough, the best part of the day wasn't the trade show, or the hour and half visit to The Camera Store. It was the impromptu photo walk we went on!

After drooling over cameras we decided to pop to one of my favourite downtown restaurants for a drink and a bite of food. The Laurier Lounge, although too expensive has a great ambiance. I'd love to do an engagement shoot there one day.

I love this shot! I actually took this one to demostrate something to Chris but I loved how it came out.

One of the best ceasars in the city. Did you know the ceasar originated in Calgary.

Little Miss Parker. She's just a pup! But she's so adorable. Chris is puppysitting for a friend of ours. I could have played with her all day.

Fall family fun

Just a quick sneak peak from Erin's family session this weekend. It was a very busy photo weekend for me so I'm trying to get the sneak peaks as best as I can. This session actually encorporated two of my favourite photography subjects: kids and pets! Fall is always a great time for photographs because of the colours, but Calgary fall photos are even better because sometimes you luck out and have 25 degree weather for your session.

Crochet hats by Creative Energy

Just wanted to blog about these prop shots I've been working on between client edits. So the WSG is showing some love to Jenn at Creative Energy. A stay at home mom, Jenn has her hands full as it is, but she finds time to whip up these super cute crocheted items. (She also has some of the most affordable pricing ever!) You can find her facebook page by clicking here.


This frame is so long overdue! I've had this adorable hat and matching diaper cover since the spring but hadn't had a baby who fit the size. The bow and fringe blanket are just little embellishments I added to bring some colour in.

I have been dying to use this scale in a shoot! Next attempt will have to be an outdoors shot. All I need is a baby and a chinook....

Booking for 2011

Please note that if you want to guarantee your discs arriving before Christmas you will want to book at the absolutely latest by the last week in November. I will do my best to make sure all discs from December arrive before Christmas but I can’t make any promises.

There will be a price increase as of December 31, 2011 so if you want to guarantee the $60 deal, book as soon as possible!

Today is a Gift

It's been a long time since I took a jewellery photo. But since I got my new lens I wanted to try taking a photo of this necklace of mine. I had been eyeing it for over a year at one of my favourite stores. I finally bit the money bullet and bought it and I'm so glad I did! I've worn it every day since! :) Due to a very sensitive allergy to nickel and just my personal style, I'm very particular about my jewellery. It's safe to say this is one of my favourite necklaces. Stamped into it is an important message we all forget sometimes and this serves as a reminder for me.

Yesterday is History. Today is Gift. Tomorrow is a Mystery.

Family :: Tina, Tyler + Mia

Here's a sneak peak from today's session with Tina, Tyler + Mia. Although the little lady was suffering from a bout of a cold and it was ridiculously windy, we managed to get some great shots. Here are some of my favourites from this afternoon.

Big yawn... So sleepy!

This is my favourite!

Although this runs a close second.

And this one too.

Big yawn!
