Masquerade Ball & Charity Auction

I recently had an opportunity to provide event photography coverage at a very cool event in downtown Calgary (at the Fairmont Palliser Hotel). The event was a Masquerade Ball and a Charity Auction that was hosted by Financial Management Brokerage of Calgary. The party included both a silent auction and a live auction to raise money in support of the Alberta Children's Hospital. It was a first class event and I got to mix and mingle with the guests and create both posed and candid portraits of the attendees, and also to capture the spirit of the event. There were a great many auction items available for sale, including dozens of beautiful Masquerade masks, so I was sure to create images of many of the best masks. There were so many on display that I know I didn't even see them all, never mind actually photograph all of them! Many of the party-goers were dressed in beautiful ball gowns and fancy suites, and most had their own masks as well. I tried to create images of as many of them as possible as well. The event was a smashing success and the auctions raised a lot of money for the Children's hospital. It was truly an honor to be able to participate at such an event! Here are a few sample images from the party:

Images from Halloween Spooktacular

I wanted to share a few sample images from our special "Garage of Horrors" studio event on Halloween Night. Every Trick or Treater that stopped by the garage was offered a free digital picture, and a delicious candy treat! It was lots of fun to do this event and I was really happy to see how excited everyone got once they realized what was going on. Many of our friends and neighbors in the Riverbend area knew in advance that I was planning to take pictures on Halloween night, but we also had lots of others come by that had no idea. I think we surprised and impressed everyone and it was great to see the reactions. I am definitely planning to do something similar again next year, and it also has me thinking about lots of other opportunities to get my neighbours involved. Although I saw lots of really cool costumes, the best showing of all was my friend Nicole and her family. Mom and Dad where dressed as chef's while brought little Baby Alexis (who's not so much a baby anymore) was in her Lobster costume (complete with the pot to boil her in). All the images turned out great, but here are a few more of my favorites:
