Leanne and her Mom received the grand tour of one of Calgary’s nicest back alley while I shot Leanne’s portraits.  It was a beautiful night to be outside and Leanne was so much fun to photograph.  Easy peasy.  :)  She is hoping for a job with Disney and I mentioned that she looks like a princess.  Don’t you think?  Look at her sweet smile and sparkly eyes?  Good luck Leanne with your venture.  I can’t wait to hear!

Ok, I’ll admit it.  Blogging is not my strong point.  I love sharing sneak peeks with my clients, don’t get me wrong!  When life gets busy though it is so hard to find the time and keep on top of everything else in business and in life.  My apologies, yet again to those of that are waiting patiently.

Meet Jenn.  Jenn and her Mom called to let me know that they had arrived where we were supposed to meet.  When I got there I saw two other photographers with ginormous lights and well, how shall I put this… a very scantily clad girl.  It was interesting to watch and yet again I realized just how many different styles of photography and ways of doing things there really are.   I hopped out of my vehicle with my camera in hand.  Jenn and her Mom asked if I used equipment like that and I replied “nope”, just me and my camera and sometimes a reflector.  I used to shoot with equipment like that but let’s face it.  I like the freedom.  I like not having to haul around piles of equipment which seemed to stifle my creativity.  It is hard to move on to another location when you know it is going to take you 45 minutes to set up again.  Not me.  Can’t do it.  Hopefully Jenn and her Mom didn’t mind.  ha ha.  Anyway we had fun, Jenn was awesome to work with and we got some great images.  Thanks so much for the wonderful afternoon and good luck with all of your wonderful plans!

I just may have to share a few more later.  I found this cool location while out hunting around for somewhere different.  Jenn seemed to fit in with it just perfectly but I don’t want to spoil it for her by showing too many images here.

Headshots for Katie and her Mom.  Katie was needing some headshots done for her interior design business which she is joining along with her Mom.  They are wonderful people and I enjoyed our time we spent doing the headshots and chatting about interior design.  Meet Katie and don’t forget to visit the decorating den….

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting and shooting some headshots for Ilona.  Ilona is an actress currently working in the UK.  We had fun walking the streets of Inglewood in Calgary which is where I do most of my headshot sessions.  It’s like having my very own studio with a million different options and beautiful light as well.  We did notice that things are changing as the master plan for the revitalization in Inglewood  is beginning to take place.

Some of my favorite walls have been torn down or painted different colors.  It is both discouraging and encouraging at the same time.  I am hoping (and I’m sure many other Calgary Photographers are hoping) that some of our beautiful photographic spaces are kept in tact but it will also be nice to see the new plans as they unfold and begin to make the community a safer and more desirable place to be.

Meet Ilona, beautiful inside and out…
