Fall Portraits with the Robinson Family

I got to spend a lovely fall day at The Ranche in Fish Creek Park with my friend Eric and his family. I've known Eric for many years, and I was honored when he asked me to do a portrait session with his family. It was really great to meet his wife Erika and their very happy 7 month old son Drake. The best part was that we got to spend a few hours outside enjoying a beautiful day!

Baby Art

While processing some images from recent newborn photography session I was playing around with some ideas I've had for awhile to display some of the images of the extra details. In this case I had a great set of images including baby's ear, hand, and feet. I thought they looked really great in black and white, and I wanted a way to show them off all together, so I created a clean panoramic layout that included all three images. I love the resulting image and I think it would look great in a large format print with a simple black frame. What do you think? How else would you like to see your images displayed?

Family Portrait Session

I was honored to be invited to create some family and individual portraits for some old friends. They asked me for studio style portraits of their youngest child to match some images they already had of their older child, and also some indoor and outdoor portraits of the entire family. I have a portable studio (including backdrops and lighting gear) that I can set up anywhere, so we turned their living room into a photography studio! I made portraits of both of the children individually and with their parents, and then the whole family together against a black background. The black background is very dramatic images and I really love black and white images created against it. After finishing up inside we went outside to take advantage of a beautiful fall day in Calgary. They live in a prime location adjacent to a very scenic "green" space. I have to put green in quotes because, although the session was completed in early September, the fall colors had already fully arrived. The weather was fantastic and the scenery was perfect to make some lovely fall portraits of the family! I love doing this kind of session where there's lots of variety and the images are all very different. It was a very fun session and it was great hang out with my friends! On a related note... Fast forward only a couple of weeks later to today and the fall colors are already peaking. If you're thinking about getting some fall portraits made this year I would really recommend that you book your session soon. The nice weather is supposed to hold for a little while longer, but the leaves will only stay on the trees [...]

Another Greeting Card Example

I've been working on some images from a recent family portrait session, and also creating some new Christmas Card designs at the same time. It was a natural fit to test some of the images from the portrait session with the new greeting card design. I liked it so much I just had to show it off. What do you think? This was such fun session and I have lots of images to go through. I'm very excited by lots of them and it's been very hard to pick my favorites! For more information about purchasing greeting cards, please see my recent Photo Greeting Card Product Showcase post.
