Oh those curls! {Calgary Family Photographer}January 23rd, 2012Mary and I went to high school together. I still can’t believe we’re all grown up with kids! We were pregnant together with our youngest kids (I was going to post a picture of us showing off our bellies, but it’s horrific – me…not her!!), and they are 4 days apart.

Mary and I went to high school together. I still can’t believe we’re all grown up with kids! We were pregnant together with our youngest kids (I was going to post a picture of us showing off our bellies, but it’s horrific – me…not her!!), and they are 4 days apart.
Anyway, her daughter has the most amazing hair, and her son has the sweetest smile (& personality to match!)

I’ve come to the realization that if I was to post a blog post from all my sessions this fall, I would still be blogging them in April. So, they are all here, in one MEGA POST!
There’s a couple Portrait Parties in here, a lot of studio sessions, and even one outdoor one.
Thank you to all my 2011 clients. It was a very successful year for me, and I am very grateful that each and every one of you chose me to capture your families.
PS – Watch my Facebook Page for a huge special coming up later today!
Such a Gorgeous Family {Calgary Family Photographer}November 8th, 2011Not only is this one of the MOST gorgeous families EVER, I’m also related to them! Such sweet girls with such amazing eyes, just like their parents. You’ve seen them on the blog before, and hopefully will again! |

Christmas 2011 Mini Sessions {Calgary Family Photographer}November 7th, 2011It’s that time again! Time for Christmas Mini Sessions. Often, a full hour of shooting just isn’t needed.

It’s that time again! Time for Christmas Mini Sessions.
Often, a full hour of shooting just isn’t needed. Especially in winter, and in the studio. So, at different times of the year, I offer mini sessions, which are 20-25 minutes instead of an hour; with different packages, prices and specials. This is what I’m doing this time:
When: November 19th & 20th – Sessions run continuously from 10am until 5pm. You pick what 1/2 time slot works best for you.
Where: My studio – in Chaparral (we’ve put off the basement reno until the New Year!)
How Much? The session is only $25. About 4-5 days later, your images will be up on a password protected gallery, and you can just order what you want. No packages, nothing you don’t need. My Print/Digital File prices can be seen here
The whole idea is to get at least one perfect photo for you to use in your Christmas Cards. (I also do cards, FYI).
Attn: Sylvan Lake/Red Deer people: I am available to come up and do Minis on November 27th if I have enough interest. Email me if you want to be put on a list.
Fall Shoots – Well under way! {Calgary Family Photographer}October 19th, 2011So I’ve been busy doing shoots. So busy, that I haven’t been a very good little blogger! If you ‘like’ my page on Facebook, you have seen a few sneak peeks here and there, but no blog posts! Until now. Here, my friends, is a lazy blogger’s blog post, of what I’ve been up to [...] |
So I’ve been busy doing shoots. So busy, that I haven’t been a very good little blogger! If you ‘like’ my page on Facebook, you have seen a few sneak peeks here and there, but no blog posts!

Introducing “Home Portrait Parties” {Calgary Family Photographer}October 3rd, 2011After a very long hiatus from parties, I have decided to start doing them again! Back in 2006-2009, I was co-owner in a Photography company here in Calgary that specialized in Portrait Parties, and it was a lot of fun. When I went on my own, I didn’t do them, mostly because I had a [...] |
After a very long hiatus from parties, I have decided to start doing them again! Back in 2006-2009, I was co-owner in a Photography company here in Calgary that specialized in Portrait Parties, and it was a lot of fun. When I went on my own, I didn’t do them, mostly because I had a baby, but also because I had space for a studio in my basement. We are wanting to [actually] develop our basement this winter, and I will be losing my studio temporarily, so I will bring the studio to you!
First – the DEAL! Past hostesses from Shutterbug’s Photography receive 3 FREE digital files, in addition to their Hostess Credit! That’s an extra $120 worth of stuff!
Here’s how a Portrait Party works:
-The Hostess (or Host) invites and schedules families to their house, in 1/2 hour intervals. You need 5 families plus yours (6 total) for the party to happen, but no more than 10 please!
-Each family gets a private 1/2 hour full studio session in the comfort of your home.
-Less than a week later, all families will be able to see their images in a password protected gallery on-line, and order what they wish (no selling for the Hostess!).
-The Hostess receives 20% of the total sales as credit for their prints & digital files.
-All orders are delivered to the Hostess, or they can be picked up from me.
As an introductory special – all parties booked before November 1, 2011 will be FREE for all families (regular $50/family).
Please note – you need a very LARGE space to host a party. With the lights & backdrop, I need a space at least 12′ x 20′ – basements work best, for space and privacy.
Parties are available in Calgary AND Sylvan Lake. Travel costs may be added for outside of town.
Here’s some images from a party I did last winter:
A little update {Calgary Family Photographer}September 30th, 2011So, I haven’t done a single shoot in a couple months (besides my own kids). I’ve been busy starting up a new company (Tenacious Media) and basically just ‘summering’. We just got back from Vegas, where we saw the 1st night of the iHeartRadio Music Festival, and and Garth Brooks – which was also on [...] |
So, I haven’t done a single shoot in a couple months (besides my own kids). I’ve been busy starting up a new company (Tenacious Media) and basically just ‘summering’. We just got back from Vegas, where we saw the 1st night of the iHeartRadio Music Festival, and and Garth Brooks – which was also on my Bucket List for this year (along with Oprah). I’m now faced with setting my goals & bucket list for next year…but how do you top THAT?! I’m going to have to be creative! Currently, losing 20 pounds is the only thing on there. And that’s not fun.
Anyway, I’m ready to get back to doing some Photography, and the fall is the perfect time!
Speaking of which – I still have a few spots open this weekend – I’m doing Studio Mini Sessions tomorrow (Saturday) and Outdoor Mini Sessions Sunday. Let me know if you want a session. Here’s the info:
Here’s some images from my “baby’s” 2nd birthday! I had a vision. He didn’t like it.
This one got blown up REALLY big for my wall:
Update on stuff…July 8th, 2011So, a few of you might remember a little something I was doing during the first few months of the year; 5ppplx12 – where I would take a self portrait of my family every month. Well, it lasted 3 months. January – check. February – check. March – check (only because my dad took one [...] |
So, a few of you might remember a little something I was doing during the first few months of the year; 5ppplx12 – where I would take a self portrait of my family every month. Well, it lasted 3 months. January – check. February – check. March – check (only because my dad took one of us while we were in Disneyland). Then, with April came all the Oprah hoopla, and I forgot. May brought more Oprah hoopla and then the deep depression of it being over…and well, that was it. Maybe I’ll try again in 2012.
I have still managed to keep up the 365 project. Have taken a picture everyday this year. This is very easy, since I take a lot of pictures everyday (thanks to my iPhone) – the problem is usually deciding on my favorite picture of the day.
Speaking of the Oprah thing – it has brought many blessings into our lives (besides being so incredibly famous – kidding – although Mike still gets lots of attention from the elderly…LOL!). We were given free gym memberships from Gold’s (with free childcare for all three kids!), and shortly after the show aired, I was contacted by the editors of MOMeo magazine to write for them! I had always wanted to write something (besides my blogs), so this was very exciting. I wrote two articles, and the first one was published yesterday. It’s pretty cool to see your own writing and bio on another website! See the article here…and leave a comment &/or retweet it!
Another thing that has recently developed, and partly because of all the ‘PR’ I did with the Oprah show, was a new business venture! I was contacted by a good friend who wanted me to be their ‘Twitter & Facebook’ person. Anyone who knows me, knows I am a social media ‘junkie’, so he had come to the right place! I did a little digging, and discovered that ‘Social Media Management’ was everywhere! So, I started a company. TenaciousMedia.com is a Social Media Management company for small business owners and Realtors. I do all the stuff online that they know they should be doing, but don’t have time to! And, the best part is, it is something else I can do from home – often in bed from my iPad while my kids are still asleep! Perfect!
Here are some recent faves of my kids:
And this was my Hubby’s Father’s Day gift:
Lastly, I’d like to thank you all for reading my blog. Although I have NO IDEA who you are because I never get comments. I know there are people here though…I see the analytics!
Oh! And yes, I’m still doing photography! Time to book your Canola Field shoots!
