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 [...]

 

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.  :)

Meet Jen and Jason!  Jen and Jason are a super cool couple and are totally down to earth.  We had some fun at a Flames game earlier this year, so it was nice to finally see them again.

We had an awesome time doing their engagement photos down by the Elbow River near downtown Calgary.  We found some interesting places to stop and shoot some photos.  Afterwards we ventured over to warehouse district to shoot some more and ended up at the Arriva building as the weather started to turn on us.  The security guard there graciously allowed us to shoot inside the building.

Their wedding is at the end of June and from the sounds of it, it’s going to be one heck of a celebration!

You might remember Jenn from last summer.  I photographed Jenn & Khang’s wedding on Lake Chestemere just west of Calgary.  Now, her and Khang are having their first baby sometime next month.  Jenn asked me to come take some maternity photos of her, and of course I said yes.  Once the wedding is over, the relationships I have with my clients never end.  I hope to be their photographer for all the special moments.  You can bet I will be there when baby comes home from the hospital as well to create more memories.

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

January 25th, 2009

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.

If some of you have been following my work, you’ll remember Duane and Kim’s wedding out on Two Jack Lake in February.  Duane is one of my good friends from when we used to work at Moxie’s together.  Hayden is now over 5 months old and he’s is growing so fast!  He’s a perfect split between both parents and it was such a joy to photograph their new family.  Duane and I have already created a line combination for when our sons are ready to play hockey.  There’s so much in store for Hayden.  And he’ll only look like this for a short time, so enjoy it while it lasts!

I met the Tam family through my friend Bao, who’s family pictures you may have also seen on my blog a few posts back.  They really loved what I was able to do with Bao’s family photos and wanted to see if I could shoot their new arrival, Elliot.  When I finally met Henry and Tanya, we talked about the idea of shooting them.  And to prove what a small world it really is, I went to high school with Tanya and we both graduated in 1996!  Of course I game to shoot photos for them.  This time I decided to ditch my studio lights and shoot in the style I truly love, with natural light and in a relaxed non intrusive way at the client’s home.  Elliot was quite the trooper as he was awake most of the time I was there.  They are a young family just like mine and it was almost to easy to get good stuff out of them.  Thanks for having me come over to your wonderful home to spend a few hours with you guys.  We’ll definitely do it again when Elliot’s 1 year old!

All in the family

June 11th, 2008

For mother’s day I wanted to give my grandmother (and grandfather) something.  I am embarrassed to say I have never given her anything before.  My grandparents are getting quite old and I know they might not be around 10 years from now.  I wanted to take a photo off all their descendants, but the logistics [...]

 

For mother’s day I wanted to give my grandmother (and grandfather) something.  I am embarrassed to say I have never given her anything before.  My grandparents are getting quite old and I know they might not be around 10 years from now.  I wanted to take a photo off all their descendants, but the logistics would have been too much to handle.  Especially getting all my uncles and aunts to come over.  So I made a photo of their grandchildren and great grandchildren.  I had this photo metallic printed and mounted in a 20×40 print.  It is HUGE.  As soon as it was ready, I picked it up, went to their house and put it up on their wall for them.  I looked at the picture and looked at them and said “look what you did!”.  Grandma smile back and said, “yeah not bad, and it all started with you and your parents escaping Vietnam 2 days after you turned 1.”
