University Dance Club Starlight Ball

Had a chance to photograph the annual Starlight Ball presented by Edmonton's UADC (University of Alberta Dance Club). This club is probably Edmonton's next best secret to learn ball room dancing in. It offers an extensive range of classes and activities. Regardless of your dancing ability.

These guys worked very hard to get this night going, and i'm definitely bringing my game up a notch when it comes to these events!  I got to meet some super cool...

She is definitely cuter in person! This will mark my first on...

This is the beginning of my serious journey to get into shooting portraits. I've spent lots of time scouting for locations to do photo sessions and try out loads of different lighting techniques and force myself to survive in harsh lighting conditions too! I'd carry my gears to work to save travel and time. Having looked forward everyday, I shot in the rain, overcast days, gloomy...
