M. Family.

March 13, 2012

This was one of my family sessions from last fall - which I am still catching up on blogging from. A great couple of hours with an amazing family. I trained and taught at their gym, Pure Fitness a couple of years ago (has it been that long?!?). Now, to just get back there a few days a week ;). And one other thing is for sure (along with getting back to the gym) - looking at these photos I seriously can't wait for golden light filled evenings and getting outside to shoot again.

SAN DIEGO.

March 4, 2012

I have started writing for this post 4 times. Seriously, I'm not joking.

I was going to talk about travel. And travel photography with your kids. And how it fills me with inspiration. Then, I was going to talk about learning to see the subtleties and emotions of life and capture them. THEN, I was going to talk about the memories that each of these photos brings back and were it not for them I swear I wouldn't have remembered seeing things such as the old photo of the YWCA and it making me think of my grandma. Anyhow, you get the picture.

And after all of that, what I have decided to say it this…. here are some memories from us in San Diego, December 2011.

Showing you. Red Deer Photographer.

February 17, 2012

Prior to these two shoots, I had had several conversations with girlfriends regarding portraits of ourselves. And while there is a current trend in women's portraits for boudoir type of sessions, the topic would quite often drift back to different options for a more timeless, classic, beautiful, glamorous, character portrait.

Not only the portrait, but the experience. A makeover day. A day for you. You, right now at this moment in your life that makes you who you are. Celebrating what you have done, accomplished, gone through or learned. Showing you your beauty on the inside and out.

And these two shoots are what came about.

These GLAMOUR sessions can be booked in a few different ways. I will be announcing an upcoming marathon session date (subscribe to the newsletter - link at the top of the blog - for early notification) early next week. Or get your girlfriend(s), mom or sisters together and book your own day. And of course individual session availability.

I am thankful for those conversations with my girlfriends .... and can't wait to bring out the best in you.
