My sister’s familia | Calgary Family Photographers

Earlier this year I made a commitment to try and photograph more of my family.  Knowing how important photos are for parents, I had to offer up my skills.  The first session I did was with my cute little nieces who happen to be very talented dancers.  This time  around it was the rest of the family’s turn to be photographed.  I took them outside of Calgary to the Big Rock, west of Okotoks, for their session.  We timed it perfectly as the sun was about to set, we got some great light.  If you are interested in a Calgary Family Photo session with me, don’t hesitate to email with your request.  I take only a few commissions every year for families.

The Gillund’s | Calgary Family Photography

I do not take a lot of family commissions, because I am pretty busy with weddings.  But sometimes the right family comes a long.  The Gillunds were that family.  Martin contacted me years ago about shooting photos of his family.  We never got around to it due to scheduling conflicts, but this time around, everything worked out.  Martin has been following my work on Calgarypuck since I first started doing photography.  He remembers photos that I made that even I have forgotten about.   I came over to meet Martin, Mihaela, Gabby and Travis at their beautiful home in NW Calgary.  When I first arrived I immediately greeted by the boys with big smiles on their faces.  I felt welcomed right away.  I also noticed there was one thing was lacking in the home, family photos.  That would have to change.  They also had the most amazing backyard I have seen in a long time.  I was so jealous, because my backyard is… well, uninspiring.  Travis and Gabby are such happy kids!  They showed me all their toys, swings and showed me some of the funny things they liked to do.  I knew right away, this was the perfect family for me to photograph.  So we booked our session the day after and I showed up a few days after that to do their family session.

We hung around the house for the first hour while I photographed everyone in their own environment.  Afterwards we headed to nearby Nose Hill Park in NW Calgary for the outdoor part of the session.  Everyone did awesome even though we were swarmed with what seemed like a million of the world’s biggest mosquitoes.

Thank you Martin, Mihaela, Gabby and Travis.  You guys are one awesome family.  I hope you print lots of the photos and put them everywhere in your house.  I am really glad to have been able to do this for you guys.  It was really nice for me, as a photographer, to do something different from my norm.  It gave me the motivation to want to shoot more families like yourselves.  I look forward to taking you all to Flames games with me next season.  :)

The Le Family in Hawai’i!

I have known Cynthia since I was 15 years old when we used to be “Birthday Party Co-Ordinators” at Easy Street.  Those were the days I tell ya, making $4.20/hr and serving pizza to 5 year olds.  It was actually really fun and we had some great times there.  When Cynthia and Buddy heard I [...]

 

I have known Cynthia since I was 15 years old when we used to be “Birthday Party Co-Ordinators” at Easy Street.  Those were the days I tell ya, making $4.20/hr and serving pizza to 5 year olds.  It was actually really fun and we had some great times there.  When Cynthia and Buddy heard I was going to be in Hawaii at the same time as them, she asked if I could do family photos for them.  Of course I was more than happy to shoot a session in Hawai’i.  Like I’d ever say no to that!  We shot all these photos right on our beautiful timeshare resort that we own in, Ko Olina O’ahu.  Taelienna and Cao were awesome kids to shoot.  They were willing to do anything I asked and we had a blast!  I know you guys will cherish these family photos for a long time.  Kids grow up so fast, love every minute of it.  Thanks for the sushi dinner and making me try oysters for the first time ever!

Alisa & Ray – Baby on the way! | Calgary Maternity Photographer

March 12th, 2009

Ray and I go way back. We first met working at Moxie’s in 1997. That’s 12 years already, wow. Ray is one of the few buddies I still talk to from my Moxie’s days. We even lived as room mates once upon a time in Rundle. I was supposed to shoot Alisa and Ray’s wedding [...]

 

Ray and I go way back. We first met working at Moxie’s in 1997. That’s 12 years already, wow. Ray is one of the few buddies I still talk to from my Moxie’s days. We even lived as room mates once upon a time in Rundle. I was supposed to shoot Alisa and Ray’s wedding last year, but they had to change their date due to venue conflicts. Unfortunately it had to be a day that I was already booked.

Ray recently told me Alisa was 7 months pregnant.  I have always wanted to do a maternity session, but never really had a good opportunity… until now.  I knew these two would make a good shoot and Alisa looks good pregnant!  We got some pretty hot shots that are for their eyes only ;) .  Here are the ones I can share.   Thanks for having me over and starting your first family treasures for you.  I can’t wait to meet your boy or girl!

Jonas gets his first haircut!

January 29th, 2009

Jonas hit another milestone yesterday.  He got his first every real haircut.  I say real because when he was about 5 months old, I buzzed his hair with some clippers to get his messy hair evened up.  Since then, he has not had his haircut and he’s 16 months old now!  Ok, so finally I [...]

 

Jonas hit another milestone yesterday.  He got his first every real haircut.  I say real because when he was about 5 months old, I buzzed his hair with some clippers to get his messy hair evened up.  Since then, he has not had his haircut and he’s 16 months old now!  Ok, so finally I decided, he really needed a haircut.  I didn’t know how he was going to react, but usually he’s a pretty chillin kid.  Every thing was going well, until the hair dresser sprayed his hair and that when he started to cry.  But all in all, he was a trooper and his haircut looks great.  He looks like a little boy now….. but even more bratty!

The Brown Family at Lac Des Arcs – Family & Lifestyle Photography

Although I do most of my family photography in Calgary, I am always willing to take a drive to visit a client.  I prefer to shoot my clients in their environment.  I find it more relaxing for the client and much more fun too, of course!  Brent remembered my work at Rebecca & Vedran’s wedding [...]

 

Although I do most of my family photography in Calgary, I am always willing to take a drive to visit a client.  I prefer to shoot my clients in their environment.  I find it more relaxing for the client and much more fun too, of course!  Brent remembered my work at Rebecca & Vedran’s wedding this past August.  He emailed me and wanted family photos done, so I asked him what do they like to do for fun?  He said his cabin!  So he invited me out to their cabin right on the shores of Lac Des Arc, near Banff National Park.  It was a chilly -28 that day, but that didn’t stop us from having fun.  We shot inside the cabin for a little bit and enjoyed the warmth of the fireplace.  It was nice to see a real fireplace, because all ones we see nowadays are the fake gas fireplaces.  Throwing in a new log always reminds me of my childhood when we had a real fireplace in our home.

Anyway, I just wanted to thank you guys for a great time and the awesome chai and gingerbread cookies.  I hope we can do it again sometime in the summer or when it’s warmer. :)   We can play on the lake and capture the beautiful Rockies surrounding it.
