We Brave the Storm!
This was a wild shoot this last Sunday!
After hearing from her friend about our TFP promo running this last week, my client for this shoot got right on it and made sure to get herself a spot. After how the shoot on Saturday afternoon went, we wanted to try and catch an outdoor shoot. Unfortunately Sunday's blizzard caught us just as we were getting set up! There were a few lazy, fat snowflakes when we left the studio but by the time we got to our location 10 minutes later the wind had picked up and it was snowing pretty hard.
Not to be deterred, my clients decided to power through and were really good sports about it! We were out for about half an hour and got some pretty awesome wintry shots out of it.
These two had a lot of fun. They cracked many jokes about all of the geese (sort of visible in the background bokeh.
They actually didn't know I was taking this photo. We were in between set poses and this shot happened while they were talking to each other. It ended up being one of my favorite from the whole day.
Working from their energy we came up with a few goofy shot ideas that actually turned out really well, like playing with the trees in the shot above and below.
Thanks for a great shoot guys! This one was a lot of fun and it was great working with you!
Cher Holiday Shoot
My client wanted some photos to give to her family over the holidays. What a great gift idea! She came with a clear vision of what she wanted and we worked to set up the studio to support her ideas, and then headed over to the park to get her some shots outdoors to round out the set. She graciously agreed to let me blog the session and here are some of the highlights.
Hurricanes 2016 Teddy Bear Toss
The Hurricanes enjoyed a commanding 5-3 win over the Red Deer Rebels at the 2016 Teddy Bear Toss. Bellerive's Teddy Bear goal at 14 minutes into the first period brought down the Bears.
Wong tosses the Teddy Bear goal puck to a pair of girls in the front row who spent a good ten minutes tossing bears over the glass.

Lots of laughter and smiles from the players as they watch the Hurricane's holiday video montage during the cleanup.

Joseph was one of three Canes players to drop the gloves in what was a very chippy match for the last 15 minutes.

Lethbridge Hurricanes Visit the Hitmen Teddy Bear Toss
Headed up to Calgary this weekend to cover the Hurricanes' visit to the annual Hitmen Teddy Bear Toss game.
This was an interesting trip as this was my first time shooting the Saddledome as well as my first time testing out my newly acquired Nikon D5.
With my milk crate to sit on against the boards in section 111, by the hash marks of the Hurricane's defending end, I had a great vantage point for Skinner's highlight reel performance stopping 12 of 13 shots, most of them quality scoring chances.
During the warmup skate I also got a taste of the perils of sports photography, as one of the players got the blade of their stick caught in the camera hole while I was checking levels and pegged me pretty good in the side of the head. Anyway, you're not here for my rambling you're here for the photos! Enjoy!
