Fall Portrait Session at St-Albert Ravine
Another Fall photo shoot and this time at the beautiful ravine of St-Albert just 20 minutes outside of Edmonton. The leaves are fresh and the weather is great, got myself a very hard to handle 85mm lens from Vistek rental, and Dani and I are ready for some photo fun! St-Albert is a small town known for their huge green house store called Hole's but very little people know that St-Albert is fall of beautiful ravines and parks! I was lucky to know a friend who I play music...
Tanning Studio Promotion Photo Shoot
Got an assignment from a Sherwood Park based Tanning Studio to shoot a before and after spray tanning photo shoot for model! Ashley the model actually contacted me herself after seeing some of my work, and i'm totally glad to take on the challenge! Baja Bronze Custom Spray Tan is a very homie studio owned by an extremely nice lady Dani who is also a loving mother. She gave my assistant and I great hospitality during her stay at the studio during our shoot, and in such a short time we...
Sugar Skull Makeup Photo Session
Halloween is coming! Had an on-location Sugar Skull Makeup photography session last Sunday with the talented model Clarissa as a belly dancer! Clarissa is a young lady who is striving to achieve her dream as a make up artist / hair stylist and gaining experience modelling on the side. I don't usually work with models so when we were acquainted, I presented her with an idea of my own and a location for the shoot like I do with everyone else. Clarissa not only had her own ideas but...
Portrait Session & Posing
Had a great portrait photography session right in downtown Edmonton! Lindsey was my last scheduled friend this summer who was kind enough to let me try out poses and play around with lights (which by the way I have just purchased) to gain more shooting experience shooting portraits. I'm also going to tap my experience into one of the greatest portrait photographer debate: To pose or not to pose your subjects? I have scouted this spot since the first day I began scouting for portrait locations, and it's at a really...
Bridesmaid Photo Fun
Went down to Sherwood Park for a photo session with these ladies. I was contacted by one of the bridesmaid and was asked to do a photo session with just the girls a week before Oli's actual wedding. What an honor! In my opinion, I think the key to a successful relationship/marriage lies largely on the married couple's friends and family as well. These bridesmaid are definitely just as important to this session as the bride to be! So I sort of decided to leave Oli the bride out as the...
F & C’s Wedding Photo Booth and Reception
I was asked to help out for a photo booth at F & C's wedding, and I got to sneak in a few photos during the reception partyas well! It was truly an amazing night at F & C's wedding!I think it was obvious how much fun was there at the wedding, it was virtually effortless to get people to smile for me in front of the camera or pose for a "let's go crazy" and "hurray" shot, because people were simply doing that, and they were proud...

Banff Johnston Canyon Creek Trail and Two Jack Lake
The whole camping trip was actually spent without much planning. After having brunch we knew we had to at least get fishing licenses for those who wanted to fish. A group of us went off to two jack lake to look for fishing spots while the other group went to Banff to get the license. Once everyone settled down, a bunch of us decided to check out other places since we weren't planning to fish. I visited Johnston Canyon last year and had some great memories there in the midst of the great Alberta flood. The view...
Dustin and Lesley Wedding
I don't like to spam everyone with 200+ photos so I figured putting it neatly in a film strip comic would justify how amazing this wedding was! It was truly an honor to have been the wedding photographer for Dustin and Lesley's wedding! I had sooo much fun shooting my first wedding and would definitely do more weddings in the future! ...
Boyle Renaissance Surprise Photo Impromptu
My friend and I went down to the Boyle Renaissance in Edmonton for a practice photo session today. I will be having a shoot here in a week for a wedding reception in this venue here at Boyle Street. It's rare to get someone to participate in my projects and I felt great having Lilian here with me today. Lilian enjoys taking photos like many people and she has only shot with iPhones and tiny point and shoot cameras, but this is to proof a great creative mind certainly...
Portrait Session in University CCIS in Edmonton I mpStudio
What an amazing photo day with my two dear old friends and the amazing Sara! I met Sara through Dani who is also assisting for me in this photo shoot. Sara is a young lady just finishing up junior high, but already has a contract with a modeling management company. She's had some shoots and agreed to do a shoot with me for learning experience. Today marks the first day of me shooting with assistants, who by the way had no training so extra points to them for being awesome!So here, we have...
Family Portrait Session in Edmonton Strathcona Area
I approached my old time junior high friends personally for a family portrait session on location. I was so excited when I found out that the family were just thinking of getting a family photographer in town =) Kory and Brittney were both friends I knew from junior high. We haven't seen each other in close to 8 years! It was so awesome to get to meet their daughter who I have only seen pictures of on facebook. She is definitely cuter in person! This will mark my first on...
Indoor Family & Maternity Portrait Session
Many families are often unable to photograph their precious moments, especially in Edmonton. Asides finding the time to book a session from the new busy family life, , then there is location! Finding a convenient location that is family friendly is not always easy. The weather in Edmonton is cold for 10 months and summer only officially start in July! Some wants to preserve the most authentic, candid moments in their point of time with the family, so I thought an "on location" candid portrait session right at...
Portrait Session around University Area in Edmonton I mpStudio
Another portrait photography day in Edmonton! So Iris and I have been friends for quite some time now, and we would have dinner talks periodically to catch up, but today I've decided to talk her into a photo session. *Evil laughter* Iris has always been a pretty chill person so I already knew she would agree to be in my photos. I'm practicing for an upcoming wedding gig, so finding anyone with no modeling experience would obviously be a no brainer right? Iris got off work and was dressed in business casual attire, so...
