2018 is just around the corner, less than 3 weeks away!
If you’re wondering how to incorporate this colour into your life it’s easy! I often find inspiration from nature. If it look’s great on a flower, I believe you can wear it or decorate with the same palette. Purple and Yellow are complimentary colours, and look awesome together.
This is my office. I’ve alway’s loved this colour and various shades of it. The inspiration of my office came from the vase that was a gift over 20 years ago. If you’re wondering what the heck that large print is….. it’s not a cheese grater. LOL It’s actually the afterburner of a CF-5 aircraft. I use to work as a in-house photographer at a aerospace company. The president at the time wanted me to create art work from plane parts. It was a challenge, but I remember it being so much fun. When I left the company in 1994 the 25″x25″ print was given to me. It has hung in my office ever since.
Now if you’re wondering how to incorporate this colour into clothing for your next family portrait session. Here are a few options.
If the Colour Violet is your favourite colour, You are gentle, a free spirit. Your feelings run deep. Deepest Needs: Emotional security and to create order and perfection in all area’s of your life. Including your spiritual life.
Yellow and purple together are very regal. Any of these combination’s would be a excellent choice for a family portrait in 2018 to honour Pantone Colour of the Year!

Year in review-2017
Goodbye 2017!!!
You’ll be remembered as being one of my most challenging years, both personally and professionally. This year, the Manitoba Government closed down New’s Media including the photography dept. For almost 18 years I’ve been free-lancing under this dept. Incredible opportunity’s to photograph every walk of life, including royalty! It’s been a wonderful journey, beyond my wildest photographic dreams. I can’t wrap my head around these photoshoot’s being done with iPads, smart phones, and point and shoots, by whomever is on hand at the time. I’ve always believed it’s not the equipment it’s the person using it that create’s the image. It’s hard to believe that the PC government lacks the valve of photography from a trained professional. Is it just the sign of times? Is professional photography dead? I HOPE NOT! I still believe in good quality photography, Good lighting, posting, capuring emotion will NEVER go out of style, no matter what the medium! Smart phones have made photography fun, and although I don’t like selfie’s, I treasure the images of family and friends.
My year in review, is a mix of wedding, business portraits, family portraits and events. In studio and on location. It’s hard to pick 1 from every month, capturing love, life, and laughter!

As we say goodbye to 2017. I plan on ringing in the new year with the hope 2018 will be a little kinder. I’d like to thank all of you who still believe in professional photography,
All the best in Love and Laughter, Happy New Year 2018!
