Pawsitively Natural Puppy Meetup

My friends at Pawsitively Natural Dog Daycare hosted the "North Calgary Puppy and Small Breed Doggie Play Group" for some indoor play time on Sunday, March 6th and I was invited to photograph the pets at play. It was quite chaotic with the large number of dogs and people all there at the same time, but the dogs had lots of fun. I tried create some great candid images of all of the dogs, and during some of the quieter moments I also had some of the owners help by posing their pet friends. It's always very challenging to try to create great images when it's so chaotic, but I managed to get some pictures that I'm very happy with. The dogs were all very cute, friendly, and happy, and I even had a couple that decided I made a pretty good chair! It was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon! A few of my favorite images from the session can be found at the end of this post, and all of the processed images are available for viewing in the Client Area. Special Prices for Participants I am making these images available to the participants for purchase at dramatically discounted pricing vs. our normal studio rates. Prices for the most popular sizes and options can be found in a special price list that you can download using the following link: » Puppy Meetup Group Price List « Additional sizes and options are available upon request.

Personal – Holidays

It's been pretty quiet around these parts for the last few weeks... I was extremely busy from mid November through mid December trying to make sure that all my existing Calgary clients had all the gift prints and portraits that they needed ready to go in plenty of time for Christmas. And then I went on holidays myself. I've been very fortunate to be able to take a nice long break through the holiday period to spend lots of time with my family, and I've hardly even thought about photography in that time. Of course I've made plenty of images of my kids enjoying Christmas and spending lots of time with their cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc., but for me that hardly counts at all since I do that all the time anyway. It has been a really nice break and I'm feeling energized and ready to start the new year. I've got a few fun photography projects that are already in the works and plenty of other ideas for new and exciting things to offer in the coming weeks and months. I'm really looking forward to the coming year and I hope that you will be there with me! I thought I would share a few images that I made on a recent trip to the park with my kids (mostly to try to keep the crickets and moths away from this site). These images are very typical of a lifestyle portrait session that I do with children and families. One major difference is that I forgot to bring a comb to clean up my daughter's hair. Oh well, she's still beautiful even with messy hair! The park is in Winfield that and adjacent [...]

Images in Use: Mako Water Polo Club Poster

A number of sports images that I recently created for the Calgary Mako Water Polo Club have been used for a poster that the club will be using to advertise for prospective new players. It's always fun and exciting to see how people use photography in different ways... This poster should be posted in public areas, pools, and recreation facilities in South East Calgary. Let me know if you see a copy of it in the wild! To see larger copies of some of these images please check out the blog post at http://www.riverwoodphotography.com/sports/sports-action-mako-water-polo-club Prints and Digital Downloads are also available at http://events.RiverwoodPhotography.com.

Sports Action with the Mako Water Polo Club

I had the honor of being asked to create images for the Calgary Mako Water Polo Club for use on their website. I will be donating any images that they wish to use for the site, and I have also made the images available to the players and parents to purchase. Prints and Digital Downloads are available for direct purchase at http://events.RiverwoodPhotography.com. I've been out to three of the club's practices so far. I was at the pool at the Calgary Jewish Community Center on October 16th and 28th, and also at the Talisman Center on October 25th. I would be happy to go out again if any of the players or parents are interested in getting some additional images. Thanks to all the players for working so hard and for helping me to make some great pictures of them. These kids honestly put their hearts and souls into their practices and they swim a lot at each practice. I can only image the effort they must put in during their games and tournaments... I love doing sports photography and covering these practices really made me want to do more of it! If you belong to a sports club or team and you have a game or an event that you would like me to cover, please contact me! Here are a few of my favorite images from the three practice sessions:

High Energy Portrait Session with Miss B

I had a great session with Miss B at Prince's Island Park. B is an amazing little girl who never stops moving. She has boundless energy and loves to run and play. It was all I could do to focus her energy in a direction that I could use. Actually getting her to stop moving was virtually impossible. It made for some really fantastic (and very spontaneous) images. Thanks to B for letting me intrude on her playtime! Client access to the password protected galleries from this session is now available in the client area.
