Sometimes I get an idea and I can't sleep because I am so excited to start a new project. So I am spilling the beans. I will start teaching photography again in March at the Nose Hill Library.
I love shooting but I really miss the teaching and I think it's time to get back into it.
I will be offering 3 Classes: Absolute Beginners for those that need a slower pace, Beginners 101 and Intermediate Digital Photography. The classes will be very small and hands on.
Call me at 403-547-3617 for more information. SOOO Excited !!!!!

Over the Thanksgiving weekend, I photographed two beautiful people, Paul and Pearl . The weather was warm and the light was as perfect as their smile. Cheesy as that sounds, they both have great smiles. Words cannot explain how beautiful everything looked on that day. Bright, vibrant and elegance describe Pearl and Paul The colors and happiness are shown throughout the entire day. Enjoy. : )

Oops I missed September, so this is going to be long....

Fall came early this year after a cold summer which meant that the fall portraits started really early. Calgary looks her best in fall colors but it was a bit sudden to my liking. I was fortunate enough to walk down memory lane during a Lacombe "reunion" photo shoot with some of my childhood friends. I can't believe that so many years have passed and we all have children, some are even teenagers. It was a reality check too because in my mind, I am a teenager still. I remember going to Veronica's birthday party in grade one, boy talks with Diana and Rebecca (Becky back then), grade nine farewell with Darcy and Tracy and her cowboy friends. Then to photograph their little mini-me's ,,, that was amazing.

I have been trying to keep up with my blog but I honestly have been a bit busy. There are soooo many photos to share from weddings, summer portraits and work from Sait Alumni Magazine. Meredith and Dan will lead the photos from their Banff wedding. In between the main events, the rain poured but you would never know because the timing was perfect.

I was fortunate to photograph the most brilliantly colorful wedding of my career. Kam and Raj started their celebrations on the Monday and continued everyday until Sunday. The saris were incredible and the traditions were followed out with a modern twist. This was also my first experience working with some great people of Lavish Events and Design. Mary and Deb know how to create a funky atmosphere for the different locations of the Sikh celebration.
