Roaring 20’s Graduate Session

1912GeorgiaLGrad-34

I’ve known Georgia for most of her life.  This past week’s Graduation session with her was a bit emotional as it truly made me realize how fast children grow into adulthood. Before my lens was a confident beautiful lady! Not only have I know her a a friend of the family, I’ve also been a client of Georgia! Georgia  is a super talented Crocheter- creating unique pieces and participating in avenues like the Central Canada Comic Con to showcase them.  You can find some of her creations on the Consulting Crocheter on Face Book.

I was not surprised -considering she is such a creative genius-that her Graduation outfit would be uniquely stunning! I LOVED her choice of a 20’s themed outfit. The Hair by Dina at Hair Obsession and the details down to the nails and cap and pocket watch of her date, Gavin, were amazing! Of course we had to find a prime location for the Family/ Graduation session and our Manitoba Legislative building-with its tall pillars and green space, provided the perfect backdrop! Congratulations go out to Georgia on her Graduation-may your future be filled with wonderful opportunities. Continue to be you and continue to share your wonderful gifts and talents with the community! Assistant/second shooter Kristen Sawatzky and I enjoyed our time with you and your family and Graduation date Gavin, thank-you for spending part of your special day with us!

Graduate Julie

ED1736elkJulie-53Graduates-It is not too early to book for a portrait session! In the past few years, I’ve had graduates and their families book a photo session as early as April.  Booking a portrait session ahead of the graduation date allows for a much more relaxed time in front of the camera… and as we know, most graduates have their dresses and suits chosen and delivered within that time frame.  I love meeting new clients and photo sessions celebrating graduations is a real treat!  Julie and her family invited me to capture this event for them last year.  Her dress was amazing-Such a beautiful colour and the detail so intricate!  We started with studio portraits with her and her family and then I spent some time photographing Julie in the studio and at the Legislative Building for some outdoor images as well. She had such a sparkling personality and was a delight to photograph! I also enjoy customizing the session to the graduate’s personality and/or interests!   Booking for sessions has begun-so if you are interested in more information call or contact me via my Website!

Graduation Time!

Congratulations go out to all the Graduates of 2012! I know next week is the special event for many of the Grads. It certainly is a busy week for me- photographing a school after Grad party, Graduation class formals and attending the graduation ceremony of my niece!

I so enjoyed meeting and photographing this young lady a few weeks back. Her mother called to book a Graduation session for her daughter.  We spent a good hour and half in the studio photographing with backdrops and in various rooms and then moved outdoors to the Exchange district of downtown Winnipeg -and yes we did stop traffic to get some pics on the street!:) We worked to create images that were more “model like” to feature her gorgeous dress and its features while showcasing her personality and this special time in her life.  Special thanks to Cory for the rental of Studio 448 and help with moving the furniture! Hope you enjoy the images!
