Being so close to the Canadian Rocky Mountains, it’s so easy to take them for granted. You often forget that people from all over the world travel to Banff to take in their majesty and splendor. For a Banff destination photographer it’s always amazing when couples reach out to you from all over the world […]
Working as a Calgary portrait photographer, I love working with models because they are very used to being in front of the camera and being asked to pose. This allows us the freedom to get a little bit more creative when shooting as poses seem to flow pretty naturally. I suggested to Justin that we […]
Standing in front of a camera can be very nerve racking - I get it, I don’t like having my picture taken either. If that sounds like you, you’re not alone. Kirsten told me flat out that she felt nervous every time she has her picture taken. So, when I hear that, I know […]
