Here’s a triptych (3 image composite) of images from my recent shoot with model Amira. I love shooting high-key setups for their simplicity and clean look!
That feeling when the rain clouds give way to blue skies and sunshine – that’s how I feel when my oldest son cooperates in the studio! I’ll love him forever even though 99.99999% of the time he’ll never sit still for even one frame. But on the day this frame was taken he actually listened to me! Miracles DO happen! Here’s an image that put a smile on my face that was even bigger than his.
My next challenge? His little brother! Cheers.

I recently had the opportunity to shoot a creative with actress and dancer Amira. We took advantage of a break in her hectic schedule (she wrapped up filming for a movie, completed a commercial shoot for Tourism BC, volunteers with the elderly, and always seems to be dancing!) and shot a variety of looks which will be the subject of a future post. She’s got a very unique look and is such a versatile model! Here’s a sneak peek from our shoot. High key studio setup for a nice clean and crisp look. Cheers.

A short while back I received a call from Alissa, a veterinary student at the University of Calgary. She was referred to me by one of my old high school friends, Dr. Tom Leboldus. Tom also happens to be one of the owners of Woodlands Veterinary Hospital and Animal Dental Centre which is a great facility if you are looking for quality animal health care. Alissa was organizing “Vetball” which was meant to be an informal grad of sorts for the Calgary Association of Veterinary Students (CAVS) third year class who would be heading off into the real world for their final year. Alissa hired my studio to set up a photobooth and to provide coverage of the evenings events.
The evening was filled with viewings of various CAVS students’ video contest entries (there were some truly hilarious videos!) and some great humour by the two co-MC’s. There were many finely dressed DVM’s in-training, and some individuals that were both uniquely dressed and well dressed! Throughout the night the co-MC’s handed out many awards and it was clearly evident that CAVS was quite a close-knit group.
Here’s a photobooth frame of some of the many awardees. I’ll update this blog post hopefully later tonight with a link to the rest of the booth images. Alissa and her crew did a great job in organizing a fun evening for her fellow students.
Special thanks to Natalie for assisting me with setup/takedown and for second shooting the event. What a fun night! Cheers.
UPDATE: CAVS members – the rest of the booth images are online. To access them:
- Visit my Facebook page here (and click the “Like” button on your way in!).
- Once you’ve entered my Facebook page, click on the “VetBall Photobooth – Calgary Association of Veterinary Students” photo album. From there CAVS Vetball guests are free to tag themselves, share the image, or post it to their own profiles as long they keep the original image intact (no cropping or alternations).
- Laugh, giggle, and enjoy the images!

Happy New Year! 2012 is here and Calgary continues to be greeted with mild temperature. Here’s an image from my first shoot of the year. Fittingly, it’s an image of one of my favourite couples: Meaghan’s folks. They are heading home after a great Christmas visit in Calgary, so I thought I’d take advantage of the great weather and shoot some images for them in Fish Creek Park.
They’ve been together for 45 years and still going strong. It just goes to show you that when you commit to a life journey together, every year brings more memories and new beginnings. Cheers.
