For the last couple of years, I’ve been one of four judges for the International Photo Contest sponsored by the Centre for International Students & Study Abroad. It’s always fun to see all of the places that people have been and specifically what caught their eye when they were there. This year there was one photo that grabbed us all right off the bat. To me, the kid on the right glancing over makes the photo. Congratulations to Andrew Gilbert for winning the Overall Grand Prize.

I first met Palma back in January when we both worked on Second Bloom, a theatre production of Fire Exit Theatre Company. Palma did an amazing job of the make-up for Second Bloom and I had fun doing some shots of her during the application process backstage. I met up with Palma and Zoltan for a shoot on a VERY chilly morning but they were excellent sports with a lot of personality. You gotta love a girl who understands the necessity of wardrobe changes. Many thanks to The Art Gallery of Calgary for allowing us to shoot in their outstanding venue and warm our frozen fingers.

Sometimes a “day-after” wedding shoot is the way to go. You’re relaxed, happy and the pressure of the actual wedding day is off. It’s brilliant. Such was the case for Blake and Julianna. I shot their winter wedding photos on a coooold day in December. We started out in Okotoks where Julianna had her hair and make-up done by Shea Brown at Hue Hair Salon. The inspiration for elements of this winter wedding came from Snippet & Ink. Kathryn’s amazing blog is a feast for the eyes. If you’re looking for inspiration for your own wedding, check it out.

My first shoot with this family was back in June to honour the 1st birthday of their daughter Ella. At the time they told me they were expecting their second child and we tentatively booked a session for November-ish. Well I finally got to meet little Ethan when we did a photo session in a warm house on a very wintery day. It is such a privilege to witness families as they grow and change. Enjoy the photos and don’t forget the slide show at the end.

This photo was an “oops” but I still love how it turned out.

I love how Ella had her hand on Ethan – just letting him know that Big Sister was there.

I was first introduced to Totally Rad Actions about 18 months ago and I’m a huge fan. They have become a staple in my editing process. When I heard that Doug Boutwell had come out with a new set of textures, I had to have them. They just up the “cool factor” of a photo. Check them out.

Meet Shea Brown. This shoot was a special treat for me as I’ve collaborated with Shea on a number of projects. She is a super-talented make-up artist and she works out of Hue Hair Salon in Okotoks. The last time we worked together she mentioned that she would love to do her own wedding photos over again. Ding, ding, ding. Next thing you know we were doing a very-post-wedding shoot for Shea and her husband Allan. Many thanks to Tara Watts, owner of Hue Hair Salon for working her usual magic on Shea’s hair and for allowing us to shoot in her gorgeous salon. Take note of the lovely bouquet and boutonnière that fit into our winter wonderland theme so perfectly. These were provided by Wanda of Wildflowers at Kensington. She has the most beautiful shop on 10th Street NW in Calgary so be sure to stop in the next time you’re strolling through Kensington.
