Product Showcase – Photography Gift Certificates

Few gifts are more appreciated than portraits. Gift Certificates provide a simple way for you to give your friends and loved ones a portrait session or to help them get some beautiful enlargements & reprints from a previous session. This is a wonderful gift that will ensure they remember the special moments in their lives for years to come. Gift certificates can be created for any value or for a specific package. They can be applied to session fees or to merchandise, and they can be combined with any other gift certificates or promotions that we may run from time to time. Please visit the Gift Certificate page to order yours online, or please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or if you want to create a customized gift. As an aside, I wanted to point out that these beautiful Gift Cards have been hand-made by my really good friend Patti at The Uncommon Bride. Patti has been a huge help to me in getting my business off the ground and I hope you will consider The Uncommon Bride if you ever need cards for any of your events. Patti makes beautiful handcrafted Wedding Invitations, Programs, Thank You cards, Birth Announcements, and just about any other stationary type card or event product you could image.

Calgary Real Light Workshop

I would like to announce an incredible workshop opportunity coming to Calgary this summer. I hope you will consider joining me for two days with fashion and editorial photographer Troy Moth as he passes through Calgary on a cross Canada road trip this summer. This will be a hands-on photography workshop where Troy will show us what he does in typical (real-life) assignment situations, using equipment that is available to all of us. We will all get a chance to interact with the models and to create images of our own. This is a fantastic opportunity that doesn't come along very often. Where: Calgary Chinese Cultural Community Center (downtown Calgary near Eau Claire Market) When: July 24-25, 2010 Cost: $350 Instructor: Troy Moth - http://www.TroyMoth.com The Real Light Workshop Website: http://www.reallightworkshop.com Online Registration: http://reallightcalgary.eventbrite.com/ About the Instructor: The Troy Moth was born in the deep woods of British Columbia. He was raised by a group of tree planters and spent the first few years of life sleeping in a tent. After a few seasons the Moth moved to a ranch next to the ocean.

More Portraits of Danielle and her Violin

Here are a few more photos from my session with Portrait of Danielle and her Violin from a couple of weeks ago. I had a really hard time choosing between all the images that I made. This was such a fun session and I think the images speak for themselves...

Portraits of Danielle and her Violin

I had a really fun studio portrait session recently with a family friend. Danielle has always been a real sweetheart and when her mother asked if we could do some portraits while she played the violin I immediately agreed. I've known for a long time that she has been taking music lessons, but I had no idea just how much she loves to play. I was amazed by how good she is and I really enjoyed hearing her play. There are so many cliches about kids learning to play the violin and what they sound like, but none of those apply here. Danielle is truly talented and her music made the session go by very quickly. I'm really looking forward to another opportunity to make some images of Danielle and her violin. We have tentatively agreed to do another session very soon, but the next one will be outside instead of in the studio. Hopefully the Calgary weather will cooperate and we can make it happen soon! Stay tuned for more images...
