Sandra & Barrett get Married

It's been a while since I had a wedding to photograph. I found myself having to find a new second shooter on rather short notice for Sandra and Barrett's wedding at the beginning of July, and despite being rather nervous about it, working with Justin of Zozo Studios couldn't have gone any smoother. I am just putting the finishing touches on the Wedding package for Sandra & Barrett and thought I would share a few of the gorgeous moments from their day.

Galleries West Review

Back in January, Quentin Randall wrote a review of my solo exhibition for Galleries West online show review section. I found out this week that it will be in the print eddition for their summer 2011 issue! That's exciting!!

2 days left to show opening!

Things are starting to come together for my first solo exhibition at The Hive Artists' Hub. Posters and postcards have been distributed, I've posted the event on facebook, and it was even featured on Art Rubicon. I have all the pieces hung in the gallery and just need to add the signage and finishing details to be ready for opening night on Friday. If you're local to Medicine Hat, look for me on Chat news either tonight or tomorrow (I'm not sure when it will be airing) as I was interviewed this morning for a piece on the arts and culture minister.

Hope to see you at the opening Friday night!

On another note, I will not be taking anymore bookings for the week following my show, sorry.

Erin Farrell, a professional photographer in Delaware, recently wrote a refreshingly eloquent rebuttle to the "Your camera takes really nice photos" comment.

Imagine that you’re baking dessert for a party. It’s your special recipe: the one everyone asks for. You make it from scratch, of course, never looking at the recipe that you committed to memory so long ago. Sugar, beaten eggs, sift in the flour… you’re crafting something delicious from basic elements. Now you’re at the party and everyone is gushing about your dessert. The flavor! The texture! But most of all you’re being asked, “what kind of oven do you have? It makes great cakes!”

That’s pretty much how a photographer feels when people look at their photos and say, “your camera takes great pictures.”

She goes on to explain here experiment using her camera and a non-professional behind the lens, vs. herself taking photos with the same model in the same location. A very interesting article. Read her whole blog post here.

Warning: Proud Aunty moment

I had the honour of taking Maternity photos for my kid brother and his beautiful wife a couple of weeks ago. The rain let up just long enough for us to head over to Confederation Park in Calgary, and spend some time in the great outdoors. The photos turned out beautifully!
I can't wait for little miss A to make her grand entrance in just a few short weeks!
