Free Desktop Wallpaper for February 2012

Red Maple Leaf on White Snow Free Desktop Wallpaper As a little bonus for my friends and followers every month I provide a free image for use as your desktop background wallpaper on your computer. Each beautiful photo is a picture that I have created and it always includes a calendar overlay for the month. I know that I’m always looking for a calendar and having one on my desktop is very convenient! This months wallpaper image is from a recent trip to Winfield, BC (about halfway between Vernon and Kelowna) to visit my parents. There is a beautiful park near there home that we often take the kids for a walk and to play at the playground. It had snowed the night before and I saw this maple leaf perched up perfectly on top of the fresh blanket of snow. I love the strong contrast of the red leaf against the bright white snow. Enjoy! Download To install the image as your desktop background, simply click on the link below that corresponds to the file resolution you would like to use. When the larger image appears in your browser window right-click on the picture and select “Set as Desktop Background...”. For some browsers (Google Chrome for sure) you may have to choose "Save As..." to copy the image to your desktop first. You can then right-click on the file on your desktop and choose “Set as Desktop Background...”. I'm experimenting again this month and have provided a much wider variety of wallpaper sizes. Please let me know how these work for you?? Desktop: 800x600 | 1024x768 | 1280x720 | 1280x800 | 1400x1050 | 1440x900 1600x1200 | 1920x1080 | 1920x1200 | 2560x1440 | 2560x1600 | [...]

My Year in Review

I prepared the above video as part of a presentation that I did last week for some of the other local small businesses that I work with and I wanted to share it here as well. It is an animated slideshow that shows off some of my favorite photography from the last year. I did so many photography sessions all over Calgary last year and it was really hard to narrow it down to just a few images. I'm close to the end of my second full year as a full-time professional photographer and looking back at all the things I've done and the people I've met is nothing short of amazing. I love the work that I do and I'm so glad that I took the opportunity that life presented me with and ran with it. Thanks to all of you for supporting me and my business! I know I'm not really supposed to quote myself, but this is how I said it last year when I did my first "Year in Pictures" video, and I think it says it all perfectly: "Thank you to all of my clients and friends for allowing me to come into your lives, to participate and to observe. I will cherish every memory, and I look forward to working with all of you again soon!"

Fosters | Business Portraits

Meet Chris and Debbie. They are the Fosters. Although they don't actually work together they both needed new business headshots and they scheduled an appointment where they could both come into my studio to have them done at the same time. They plan to use their new headshots on their company websites as well as on their social media accounts. If you need a new professional business headshot in the Calgary area you can learn all about the process and the types of portrait sessions available, and see some portfolio images over at my dedicated Calgary Headshots website. Note that I take clients at my home studio or I can meet you at a location of your choice. On-location shoots can be done using surrounding environment, or I can bring a complete portable studio to setup in your home or office.
