Merry Go Around Carnival Themed Engagement Photoshoot
So K-Days have began and I have since made lots of plans to shoot a whole lot of things that I envisioned. The day before I worked with a girl and my assistant while planning my route for the couples scheduled to shoot this week. It was seriously a whole lot of work! The crowd and noise was definitely a major issue I had to overcome for my client. I tested this shot in the Merry-Go-Around many times on my own before going for this final product. This...
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. Unfortunately I couldn't make it to Calgary in time. So I returned to KDays for this legit photography session fully prepared! I met up with the lovely Kailyn for this session and plan on doing a full coverage of KDays on different rides. We spent a lot of time exchanging ideas and ended...

Baja Bronze Sherwood Park Bikini Shoot
Another beautiful bikini shoot for Ashley for Baja Bronze Tanning Studio, this time with a twist! This photo shoot session has been in the making for the longest time! Not only did I build the lighting set up (as opposed to the traditional speed light or strobe lights), I have taken much attention to every detail and the background. The shoot was super fun with Ashley as usual, and everyone involved (along with the proud coworkers and owner of Baja Bronze) had a lot of fun! I even...
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...
Birthday Party Event & Photo Booth
Kids birthday parties are awesome! Favour bags, cup cakes, candies, jumpy castles, magicians, and even a hypnotists? I got to photograph a very special birthday party today for a great friend/mentor Kat's little girl. It was truly a great experience to be involved in this! Here are some highlights. If you...
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. [caption id="attachment_2211" align="aligncenter" width="1000"] Faculty...
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...
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...
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...

Fall mini session
Alright she's no client of mine but a very good friend of mine. I was out looking for a location to shoot my upcoming portraits so needed company. So here is a few snaps from my rental lens from Vistek. The wonderful Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 ! =D ...
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...
