Sassy boudoir session with Terra

This past Tuesday, March 11th, I had the pleasure of spending a few hours photographing Terra in a boudoir setting. She is a stunning model and really knows how to light the camera on fire! Here are a few shots from the session. Checkout the rest of the session at www.envphotography.com
I must admit, I do prefer the pin-up style more than the less blatant boudoir style....

Trash the Dress session with Chantelle in Edmonton!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful bride in beautiful dress on her 5 month wedding anniversary. Chantelle was a delight to photograph and was willing to help me live out my vision for a snowy Trash the Dress session. We wandered around the Cloverdale neighbourhood where she played with a snowman, made snow angels, had a snowball fight with some kids and went tobogganing! It was a blast and I am in awe of how the photos turned out! Absolutely stunning!

Here are few to tease you toward the slideshow at Edmonton Winter Trash the Dress

The eclipse!

So I couldn't resist freezing my toes off last night to get a few shots of the eclipse - I wish i had a telescope! Here's a few to look at anyway - and then go look at my website for people pictures!

yay, surgery!

So I've been out of commission for a month or so because of the stupid gall bladder - got my first IV ever on Jan 31, followed by my second on Feb 1st when I was re-admitted to the hospital. I have to admit, the morphine certainly helps make the pain go away. I finally got surgery to have the evil gall bladder removed this past Monday (the 11th) and am now attempting to heal so I will be functional again soon! In the meantime, while unable to do much in terms of photographs, I have had fun spending money on new lenses while I've been laid up... woohoo! Don't worry, I won't post any photos of the scars, although I wish they had given me the gall bladder so I could throw it at a wall or squish it somehow to show it how I feel about it!

Maternity session with Sarah & Josh

On New Year's Day, Sarah and Josh came over to do a maternity session maybe only 12 hours after leaving from the New Year's Eve party the night before. We all may have been a little sleepy still, but I don't think you can tell. This shoot was a great deal of fun and they were willing to do just about anything! I couldn't have asked for better subjects. Just look at how pretty and colourful they are! Looking through all the photos, and just seeing how sweet they are together, I know they will be fabulous parents to this lucky little boy! Here's just a couple pictures to tempt you toward the slideshow at fun tattooed maternity photo session

Christmas Eve with Lisa & Anthony - Stony Plain wedding

This past Monday (Christmas Eve, to be exact) December 24th, Amy and I had the pleasure to photograph the marriage of Lisa and Anthony in a cool little old church in Stony Plain, AB followed by a beautiful reception at Lisa's mother's home. The weather was a little odd that day and shortly before the ceremony began a crazy strong wind picked up and made it a little difficult to do any photos outside.

Here a few pictures of the day, and you can see the slideshow at A Very Merry Christmas Wedding

Downtown with the Franco family

Yesterday (Dec 9), I spent sometime downtown photographing the Francos and their extended family in their cute matching scarves. We actually started off in the lobby where I work during the week (It was a bit of a pain trying to remove the Meloche Monnex and TD Insurance logos from the background of the pictures) because the tree was just fabulous. We moved out into Churchill Square and ventured into City Hall to snap a few more photos. The weather had finally warmed up a bit, but I think we all had pretty rosy cheeks by the end of it...

Owen turns 2 at Chuck E Cheese (pure insanity)

On November 10th, I spent the afternoon at Chuck E Cheese celebrating Owen's 2nd birthday. He's lucky he's such an adorable child, because I nearly had a breakdown in that place and was surprised that I managed to get any good photos at all. That was the first, and last, time I have ever gone to such an establishment. Walking through the door, carrying an armful of present and an armful of camera gear, I was accosted by some random child who ran up at me and punched the present and ran away. I suppose it was a good thing that both of my arms were occupied... Chuck E Cheese should just be marketed as selling one monstrous headache for people over the age of 7...
But anyway, the photos were cute and you can see the slideshow at www.envphotography.com/owen2/

Jackie and Darcy's engagement photography session

Wow, this post was a bit late... nearly a month ago we took Jackie and Darcy to Griesbach (I swear if I keep taking pictures there, someone will just give me a house there, right?) to do their engagement session. They were tons of fun and brightened up the drab landscape (someone really must have stolen the leaves) and their photos turned out wonderfully. We really look forward to shooting their wedding in June. Here's a quick peek at some of the best shots of the day and you can see the whole slideshow at www.envphotography.com/jackiedarcy/
