Images in Use: 30×60 Fine Art Canvas Gallery Wrap
Seeing my work printed out really large and put on display never gets old. This image is from a back country canoe trip to Algonquin Provincial Park in Northern Ontario several years ago.
Images in Use: Framed Fine Art Prints
Framed Fine Art Print I'm always proud and excited to see my work on display. These images are from my Fine Art Print Collection and they are two of my personal favorites. These images were both printed at 16x20 and mounted on foamcore. They were matted with a two-inch black mat and then framed in a very simple contemporary black frame. I personally prefer simple displays for my images, and I love these exactly as they are, but larger mats also work very well for wall portraits. A good framer can help recommend mat and frame options that would work best for a particular image. I do have a couple of custom frame options available through my partnership with Time Frames Custom Picture Framing, or you could contact Karen directly if you want to see some other choices.
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 [...]
Slideshow – Trash the Dress at 10,000 Feet
A Fusion video slideshow of photography and video from an adventurous Trash-the-Dress wedding photoshoot at the top of Cirque Peak in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The hike to Helen Lake is 16km (10 miles) up to the summit at 10,000 feet. It was a wonderful day in the mountains and the photoshoot was incredible.
