Those of you that follow me on Facebook will likely know by now that my family has recently grown by 1. World, meet our new dog Pepper! She's a 12 week old lab/retriever/border collie cross, and she is pretty darn cute. I'm sure you will see more of her here (and on Facebook) over the coming weeks and months. It's been awhile since I've had my own pet portrait model to practice with...
Fall Portraits
We took Pepper to Carburn Park in calgary for a walk today … Continue Reading ››
When your children want to dress up, let them dress up!
We were getting ready to go out to dinner with some friends yesterday and Andrew decided he wanted to wear his "Handsome Clothes". He's been wearing his "Handsome Pants" (the suit pants that he wore to a wedding last Christmas) pretty regularly for over a year, and he just recently added a nice new shirt and tie to the collection.

So we drove around to see what we could find. It was a fun time and although the kids were pretty goofy we managed to get a few useable portraits. It's much … Continue Reading ››
It was a beautiful day in Calgary and we decided to go for a walk at Prince's Island Park. I was hoping to make a nice portrait of the kids while we were there, but I was not expecting the early onset of fall colors and even the fallen leaves on the ground. I took advantage of it and had the kids pose nicely. I also made a few of their visiting grandparents too. It seems that we're going to have an early (and short) autumn season this year. It … Continue Reading ››
