Family Photography Session at Park near Fox Drive
Edmonton family portrait photography session at Whitemud Park near Fox Drive and Alfred H.Savage Centre. [caption id="attachment_2809" align="aligncenter" width="1000"] This Yorkie has never landed his feet on grass and is definitely confused![/caption] I have been experimenting with a workflow that incorporates color grading but I'm still a pretty big fan of keeping things as original as possible. If I truly like color grading, it'll be a photo that takes at least 30 minutes to work on in photoshop...

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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
