Erica & Chris

Lake Louise was such an awesome place to have a wedding! The photo possibilities were endless! Thanks to Niki, we were prepared to do some amazing shots in the Fairmont, Chateau Lake Louise. Niki had scouted the week before and found some deserted hallways, couches and stained glass windows to take advantage of in our shots.

The weather was perfect for photos. It was bit cloudy, which makes for even soft light. Most of Erica and Chris' outdoor shots were taken at the Lake Louise Train Station, about a 5 minute drive from the Hotel - in town.

Adjusting the colour and arranging a few shots, make it look like a scene straight out of the 1920's! Not only did Erica look absolutely stunning - with her blue "Sex in the City" shoes, but Chris was a great model too. Very GQ! Again Congrats to you both and looking forward to presenting you your Graphi wedding album soon.

Jane's Dance

A few months ago now, a mutual friend told Jane about my talents a Pin Up photographer. When Jane called, I was surprised to learn that she wanted photos of her dancing! I almost called my good friend John to take over as he is familiar with sports photography, and shoots karate tournaments and combat sports all the time. He wasn't available so I got my courage up, packed my studio lights and off we went to face the new challenges of photographing creative movement.

The shoot was amazing! Jane and I were happy with almost all the images which would later be used in an editorial about Jane's specialty in interpretive dance.
Thanks Jane!

Poster Girl!

Yep, It's official, Christy is my newest poster girl, with 3 - yes - 3 posters going up at the Tattoo and Arts Show in August! Here are some images from our shoot this past weekend. Enjoy!

Thanks for doing such a wonderful job Christy!

Annie & Myron's Wedding

Below are a few pictures from Annie's Wedding. Fun (Clean) group! Clean, cause Niki and I showed up at the Brides place for the getting ready shots, and the place looked like a showhome! Way to go girls! You get my "Dutch Seal of Approval for Cleanliness!" :)

Michelle & Cory - June 27th

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of shooting Michelle & Cory's wedding. It was a great day! The weather cooperated and John and I got some great shots.



There wasn't too much time scheduled between the ceremony and the reception, but we managed to squeeze in a couple of good locations on the same street as the reception.Locations include: a playground, a pub for the guys, an intersection by her dads house, the outside wall of a 7-11 and yes, a Sobey's Parking lot! Yep, a parking lot. It was great! :)



Thanks again Michelle for being a perfectly organized and happy bride - and again, Congratulations! :) P.S. Is Michelle a Drew Barrymore look-a-like??

Maserati Time!

Seems like we have a lot of cool vehicles to take pictures of lately!Who would have guessed that my couple showing up for portraits last Friday would have shown up in a Maserati! What a nice surprise! Of course I couldn't let them leave without me grabbing a few shots. We got quite the reaction from the neighbours - again - and, even the cat peeled herself off the couch to come out and take a peek at this awesome car.

The interior is full leather, and RED!
The drivers seat is programmable and adjusts itself automatically by driver (I think it has programs for up to 3 people). I don't know how they get the courage to actually get out and drive it around the city. I know I would be completely nervous!

What a pleasure to see such a rare and exotic vehicle parked in front of my little house. - Thanks Hal!

Mel's Bridal Shower!

So, not even a couple glasses of wine can keep me from the camera! Last weekend we held a bridal shower here at our place for my dear friend Melanie - who is getting married in less than 3 weeks!  We had a great time with the girls.  Activities included a sassy dance lesson, a treasure hunt, the usual fun games and my sweet husband convinced the neighbour to let us do a photoshoot with his old timer truck What a blast! Of course it fits right in with my favorite pin-up vintage theme and I came up with this...
