School Pictures

I love when school picture day comes around.  It takes me back to my first "real" photography job.  I lasted a year doing school photos.  And in that year I learned a lot about photography - what I love and hate - and about myself.  What I am driven to do. How I want to be.  What I am willing to compromise - or not - for the sake of working as a photographer.  Being a photographer. So every year, when school picture day comes around (ok, this is only the second year but I feel a trend beginning) I let Carter make the decisions on what she wants to wear, how she wants to smile...or not.  Because I know that ultimately, those pics only mark a school event.  It's still a rite of passage to have bad school photos-every kid should at least have a few!  I feel grateful that every fall I take her out for a special shoot where we play and capture who she really is.  At this age.  At this time. Because I know that these will be the pictures that truly mark her changes from year to year. Love you baby girl!

Christy and Al

Banff in the summer - it's an absolutely perfect spot for a wedding.  The mountains are crisp, the weather is warm and the air is fragrant with growth. Christy and Al had the most perfect August day for their wedding.  I'm so happy that I got to be a part of it! Enjoy your sneak peeks - I can't wait for you to see them all!

Andrea

One of the most challenging aspects of getting a good headshot lies in getting people to connect.  They may only have a few seconds or less to catch a casting directors eye...so every bit of energy and connection helps them stand out.  It was such a pleasure today to work with Andrea.  She had an amazing ability to connect and stay connected and the shoot was a breeze.  Thanks for the coffee and the fun afternoon!
