Carnival Themed Stylized Fashion Shoot at KDays Edmonton

Carnival Themed Stylized Fashion Shoot at KDays Edmonton I have been looking forward to shooting at the Calgary Stampede since last yearsince the photo I took of my friends at the faris wheel became viral on Facebook.

We spent a lot of time exchanging ideas and ended...

West Edmonton Mall Family Portrait Session in Europa Boulevard and Santa Maria

Photographing the busy West Edmonton Mall? Yup! I was doing some commercial work and added a quick little family session with it. I must say, taking photos in the mall is actually a great idea! Europa Boulevard has one of the best lighting and beautiful structures built in under their roof! We were originally walking to Galaxy Land but they were closed, so we decided to venture into the Santa Maria. It was definitely a fun time!  ...

high school senior graduation photographer from Edmonton and Calgary

Prom Dress Photo Session CCIS Ualberta

A photo shoot I did for this beautiful grad dress along with the designer & maker. The idea stemmed because I wanted to look for a big puffy dress or graduation dress to shoot with. Jo has been looking for a shoot and capturing how she looked before she chops a huge length of hair for a charity called Hair Massacure. Knowing Jo is a designer and has made a dress she never got to wear to her high school prom, this photo shoot was definitely inevitable! Quite happy...

Cultural Celebration Event

The Great Mughal Gala Pakistani Students’ Association University of Alberta

The Great Mughal Gala presented by Pakistani Students' Association University of Alberta. It was a great night full of talented cultural performances from Edmonton and awesome food! Seriously haven't been updating for a while with everything going on, so I thought i'd send out a quick update on something from last night! I guess my work has been getting more and more complicated, and more and more demanding...

Friends Portrait Session

In the year of 2015, what better way to celebrate it then to hang out with your friends have your photo taken? Got a chance to work with these lovely ladies for some candid portraits on a warmer Edmonton winter weather, and it was a total blast! These girls have been friends since elementary and is a real example of BFFs! Makes me wonder if I should call up some long lost friends from childhood haha. We started off at this beautiful park where I have found while location scouting,...

UofA Mixed Chorus Banquet + Dance

A great night photographing the banquet event and hosting a photo booth for the University of Alberta Mixed Chorus group last night at the Faculty Club! These people sure knows how to party! Great DJ and music, and great photographers (including myself ;) ) The organizers were super amazing people with amazing food! The funny paper plate award and speeches set the tone for what they were all about. It almost felt as if they were one big family full of laughters and passion.

Calgary model CoCo

Calgary Trip Fashion Photography

I've had the opportunity to travel down to Calgary with a buddy a while ago, and I met up with an old friend who happens to be super talented and had some modeling experiences. for more info on CoCo you can visit her page here. This shoot was totally unplanned and uncalled for! We drove down with all the equipment I own simply because we don't know what location and how everything will be! I almost always plan my shoots, but this time I decided to let the shoot take...

Studio Fashion Headshot Portrait Photography

In the studio for some head shots and fashion oriented photography! I had a chance to set up a backdrop and get into some indoor studio action!We've had sooo much fun! There is much to learn in the studio. When your subject is confined in an area there is no stories to convey, suggest, nor can they give "life" to your story. They act differently and rarely natural. So the photographer needs to do most of the leading in her emotions, what poses and facial expressions they give you. [caption...

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. The instructors are volunteer based but all trained by competitive dancers in the scene. 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...

New milestone and YouTube Chanel for mpStudio

There are so much I'd...
