Calgary photographers blog, a helpful resource for clients and photographers.

Welcome to my creative corner of the internet!

This photography blog was created to be a helpful resource for clients and photographers. A place where you can get to know the person behind the lens a little better while also exploring highlights from my favorite client portrait photography sessions and corporate events.

You will get an exclusive look at the personal artistic projects that keep my creativity flowing year after year. I also love to use this space to keep you in the loop regarding upcoming events at my studio and any seasonal promotions I might be running.

I’ve curated a library of session tips to make planning for your session stress free. In this photography blog you will find what to wear guides, advice on the best time to book your portrait session, and tricks for successfully including your family pets in the fun.

Whether you are looking for some photography inspiration or practical advice, I invite you to browse through the archives and drop a comment on the posts that resonate with you most—I’d love to know what you want to see more of!
