High Performance Physician

Photographing doctors is incredibly humbling for me.  The amount of care and compassion required to help others certainly takes a special kind of person.  Dr. Gigi Osler is a ear, nose and throat surgeon. She volunteers overseas and runs a busy household.  It was a pleasure to meet and photograph this amazing women. highperformancephysician

Love it or List it Vancouver

I attended the Home and Garden Show at the RBC Convention Centre in Winnipeg this weekend.  The Urban Barn main stage hosted  Jillian Harris and Todd Talbot from Love it or List it Vancouver!   I have a celebrity crush on these two.   Their playful interaction with each other is fun to watch and nice to see them acting the same way for their presentation.

I’m about to begin my last decorating class for my certificate in residential decorating.  It’s been a long haul  on a part-time basis.  The course at Red River college has been more about designing and re-designing space then decorating.  I feel like I’ve learnt so much and  I’m thinking more about how to incorporate decorating/design with my photography expertise.  I’m so excited to see what the future holds!

Business Portraits

Meet Amit Bindra a realtor with Century 21 in Winnipeg Manitoba.

Amit needed a new  business portrait,  but a few different styles to update his website.  He decided  both business and casual looks were required depending on the marketing material.  He wasn’t sure about the background colour, so  I suggested all white.   Photographing on  white is called high-key photography.   His image can be used as it or easily cropped and placed on a differant  background at a later date.

…and baby makes 5!

It’s so wonderful to have repeat clients, and I love to watch their families grow. My client colour co-ordinated the girls and boys. The red is such a powerful colour that black was the only option for me and I just love how the focus is on their sweet faces. Another beautiful portrait for the annual Christmas card 🙂

Happy 50th Anniversary

I  had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful family a few weeks ago.  They live in different parts of Canada but came together to celebrate their parents 50th.  It was a opportunity to photograph everyone, both together and as individual families.   The family portraits were done right in their own backyard!familyportraitwinnipegphotographerfamilyportraitswinnipegphotographerfamilyportraitphotographerwinnipegfamilyportraitsinwinnipeg

Congratulations on 50 years!

Cat Truck Driver – Oh Baby!

How cute is this little guy?  Being a baby photographer in Winnipeg can be fun and I always try to be a little creative.   This little guy’s big brother brought a cat truck to play with and we ended up using it for some of the photo shoots.  As a preemie Cash (yes that’s his name) only weighed 4 Lbs.  Adorable in the little truck! photographybabywinnipeg

Family Portraits at Sargent Park School

I’ve had the pleasure of photographing Mr. Andrew Swan and his family for many years. A politician in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. He was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba in a 2004 by-election.

Every year the portrait is taken in a different location of his riding.  This year the family portrait was at Sargent Park School.  It’s been wonderful to watch his daughter’s grow up into beautiful teenagers.  This was the first image I took and it was a keeper 🙂
