One of my favourite types of photography is low key, which basically means Black clothing on a Black background. It focus’s the viewer right to the most important part of the photo. The expression! This family agreed with my reguest and the results are just stunning. I Love how they turned out. The Little baby was only 8 day’s old and wide awake for all his portraits. No way would he fall asleep, I had to wait for a blink. so… now you know my secret for those sleeping baby photos. Sometimes it’s just a quick finger!

Viking Park – Gimli
I recently headed North to Gimli to Photograph Viking Park. I’ve been to Gimli many times, but have never been to this beautiful little hideaway. It’s tucked away along the banks of Lake Winnipeg. Viking Park includes three gardens with indigenous plants, grasses and flowers. The Troll Storm Garden, Elf Garden, and Breakwater Garden. The Viking statue was first erected in 1967 to mark Canada’s 100th anniversary. My local source told me the statue has moved a few times, but finally found his home here. Innovative Laser Works in Winnipeg hired me to showcase all their amazing metal work. Here’s a few of my favourites.
The lighting wasn’t perfect in the morning for some images, so I hung around until it was overcast. Check out the difference and detail in these images… Also the little troll house at the base of the Viking feet. How cute is that!
