Winnipeg Headshots – Dean Harder

Last winter I took some headshot photos for my friend Dean, who also happens to be a very talented Winnipeg actor and director. Since then, he’s been busy with new projects, as well as spending some time in L.A., attending acting workshops and learning from the greats. And now, just recently, he landed a roll in an episode of Less Than Kind and will start shooting very soon. (something I know he’s super excited about! Congrats Dean!) Ever since we took his headshot photos, it’s been exciting to see him traveling around, meeting new people and getting new work.

In addition, his headshot has been standing out amongst his peers and getting noticed by industry professionals like B.C. casting director Jackie Lind and actor Lorne Cardinal from Corner Gas. Not only has it been exciting to see Dean’s career continue to blossom, but it’s also super exciting for me to know that the headshots we took have been such a positive asset to the growth of his career. Can’t wait to see him in Less Than Kind! In the mean time, check out Dean’s website for more information and updates on his current work: deanharder.com

All the best to you, Dean!

Danielle & Joël – a long time love story in photos…

It’s that time of year again – when people are buying photo gift certificates as Christmas gifts, or as in this case, redeeming a gift certificate they got for Christmas last year. I love being someone’s Christmas gift! 🙂 But what I love even more is the many times I’ve had the pleasure of taking photos for Danielle and Joël. They were the first of my engagement couples (way back when, before I had even gone to photography school or started my business), and then went on to be one of my first wedding clients in my first summer of shooting weddings, followed a year later by an adorable newborn shoot when their son was born….daniellejoel And then most recently, some family photos! It’s been an amazing journey following this great couple and now, their newborn is already 14 months old (wow, time flies!). Definitely a cutie… especially in his oversized parka! A totally lovable little dude! We took a few photos inside their house and then went wandering around outside. Théo LOVES being outside, which made it all the more fun to catch him in his little explorations and adventures. Here are a few highlights from our October morning shoot and outdoor stroll…. 101029GT0029 101029GT9835 101029GT9849 101029GT9925 101029GT9871 101029GT9837 %image_alt% 101029GT0211 101029GT9938 101029GT9949 101029GT0144 101029GT0131 %image_alt% 101029GT0114 101029GT0126 101029GT0103 101029GT0082 101029GT0058 101029GT0015

November is here and although the year’s not over yet (snow hasn’t even arrived yet!), I’m already reflecting back on what a great year 2010 has been and looking forward to what’s in store for 2011.

First off I want to thank everyone who has supported me in my photography endeavours, allowing me to make my passion for photography a full-time reality for the third year in a row. I couldn’t do it without all my wonderful clients, friends, family, students and distant admirers. (yes, even those of you who stalk my blog from a distance!)

Wedding season 2010 is almost over, and I’m already looking forward to my 2011 weddings! I’ve had the pleasure of meeting some awesome couples in the past few months to discuss their plans for their upcoming weddings, and I’m getting more and more excited about starting wedding season again! Weekends are booking fast in 2011, but do not fret: I still have some Friday & Saturday openings.

The year is coming to a close, but I have a few updates and announcements to make for 2011. First of all, a CONTEST. I’m giving away a free photo session! ….and I’m even including the full-res images on disc. Details to come soon… you won’t want to miss it!

And of course, Christmas is just around the corner, so keep in mind that I still offer photo gift certificates for the people on your lists that are impossible to shop for. Yes – a photo shoot – it’s a unique gift idea! Not only that, but I’m offering a discount portrait package for all gift certificates ordered by November 30th. $150 will get you a 1-hour shoot and a basic print package (two 8×10 & five 5×7 prints). With no expiry date, you could order a gift certificate for yourself, and save it for a warm summer day next year! ….e-mail orders to photo@egabrielle.com

I’m also excited to announce a couple upcoming photographic art exhibits that I’m putting on in 2011. The first is a solo exhibit at the Collège Universitaire de St-Boniface for the month of March. I’ll have about a dozen framed photos on display. Can’t wait! My next exhibit will be a group show with my art collective, f/action. We’ll have a large photo exhibit adorning the gallery walls of the Cre8ery. Opening reception will be in early April. I’ll keep you posted and send you an invitation!

I hope you guys are all enjoying a wonderful fall season – don’t forget to take in the beautiful sun before the days get too short!

Cheers,

-Gabrielle
