Free Desktop Wallpaper for April 2013
The wallpaper image for this month is from a trip to the prairies to the South-East of Calgary. I went out to do some landscape photography at sunset.
My Year in Review
I prepared the above video as part of a presentation that I did last week for some of the other local small businesses that I work with and I wanted to share it here as well. It is an animated slideshow that shows off some of my favorite photography from the last year. I did so many photography sessions all over Calgary last year and it was really hard to narrow it down to just a few images. I'm close to the end of my second full year as a full-time professional photographer and looking back at all the things I've done and the people I've met is nothing short of amazing. I love the work that I do and I'm so glad that I took the opportunity that life presented me with and ran with it. Thanks to all of you for supporting me and my business! I know I'm not really supposed to quote myself, but this is how I said it last year when I did my first "Year in Pictures" video, and I think it says it all perfectly: "Thank you to all of my clients and friends for allowing me to come into your lives, to participate and to observe. I will cherish every memory, and I look forward to working with all of you again soon!"

Fosters | Business Portraits
Meet Chris and Debbie. They are the Fosters. Although they don't actually work together they both needed new business headshots and they scheduled an appointment where they could both come into my studio to have them done at the same time. They plan to use their new headshots on their company websites as well as on their social media accounts. If you need a new professional business headshot in the Calgary area you can learn all about the process and the types of portrait sessions available, and see some portfolio images over at my dedicated Calgary Headshots website. Note that I take clients at my home studio or I can meet you at a location of your choice. On-location shoots can be done using surrounding environment, or I can bring a complete portable studio to setup in your home or office.
Marissa Reckmann | Better Business Portrait
Marissa Reckmann Headshot Marissa recently came into my home studio for a Social Media Mini portrait session. She is the Director of Environmental Operations at AGAT Laboratories and needed a new headshot for use on the company website and her social media accounts. If you only need one image then these are very quick sessions and I try to make them as easy and painless as possible for you. This portrait was created on a rich red backdrop, but I have a wide variety of other backgrounds to choose from. When you book your headshot appointment we will discuss a few details, including the intended use of the image and the clothes you might wear, and I can help you choose the backdrop that you would like to use. I love this red one and I need to remember to use it more often! To learn more about Business Portrait sessions and to see some example images you can check out my dedicated Calgary Headshots website. AGAT Laboratories is a highly specialized, Canadian-based company that provides laboratory services worldwide. The company's operations encompass 12 scientific divisions to offer full-service solutions to multiple industry types within the Environmental, Energy, Mining, Industrial, Transportation, Agri-Food and Life Sciences sectors.
Ken Eddy | Better Business Portraits
I had a great session with Calgary Realtor Ken Eddy to create some updated business portraits for his websites and marketing materials. He wanted a good variety of photography that he could use on the various websites that he uses to promote his businesses. While Ken is a Real Estate Broker with Re/Max in Calgary, and he is also a professional speaker and he has a new website coming online to promote his Real Estate Training seminars. He specifically wanted some images that would show off his look as a speaker. I suggested that we photograph all of the images on a white backdrop so that the background could easily be cut out so that the images could be adapted for whatever use they were required for.
