Welcome Theodore!

The newest Muncaster baby arrived, happy and healthy, and I was honoured to make family portraits with the new arrival just five days after he was born. Some extended family was in town to celebrate, and we got some great images of everyone inside before moving outdoors

Slobodeckis at Prince's Island Park

The first time I worked with the Slobodecki family, their son was about one, and we travelled to Fish Creek Park one evening when the sun was low, having a blast and getting some beautiful, flared-out shots in beautiful light. Now they have two adorable kids, and were looking for new portraits with a similar warm look. We met at the Peace Bridge, and walked across to Prince's Island Park - where I haven't been for years - to find good locations with the golden sun streaming through the trees. They're an awesome family and I can't wait to work with them again!

Check out a few of the photos we made together:

Baby Shower Fun

I had the privilege of photographing a baby shower recently, as friends and family came together to welcome Baby Charisma to Calgary. It was a wonderful, casual afternoon as well-wishers dropped in to offer their congratulations and meet the little angel. What a lucky baby to be born to such a happy, contented family and to be surrounded by those who love her.

I set up a little photo booth to allow people to have portraits made with the baby, but mostly captured the event documentary-style. Check it out:

Jim Adamchick, Alberta Party Candidate

I was happy to make my first ever political portrait recently, a series of headshots for Jim Adamchick, Alberta Party Candidate in Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills. Drove out to Didsbury and we made this portrait in a quick session in the garage.

Jim's a good man and honest candidate - good luck to him in the upcoming election!

More Muncasters

Holy moley, it's been a while since I've put up a blog post! Busy with life, I suppose, but I wanted to share a few pics from a great session I had a few weeks ago. The Muncasters brought me in again for some more family portraits and maternity images, since now they are expecting! (yay!) As with the first time we worked together, we had a great time, with lots of laughs. Little Man just loved the camera and was keeping us on our toes, grabbing the spotlight with his impromptu poses.

Phoblographer Interview

Well this is a first: The Phoblographer.com just published an interview they did with me about my work. While I'm not crazy about the title - the word 'perfect' is a bit much - I'm honoured and flattered they'd take the time to feature m. Check it out by clicking here.

The Muncasters

I photographed the Muncaster family in October near their home - we went for a stroll in the late afternoon just looking for great light and simple environments, and found plenty of both. It was exhilarating to be kept on my toes by both a location I hadn't visited before and by their awesome one year-old, Corbin, who, like most toddlers, had a mind of his own and feet made for walking away.
We had a lot of fun together; here are a few sample pics:
