Here’s a sneak peek from a super fun fire spinning photo shoot on Monday night in downtown Winnipeg. I have lots more to post, but I’m just too swamped with my photo exhibit opening in only 1 day!
Here is the amazing Paul Mann. Can you believe he’s only been doing this since last September? He’s pretty good!
My next photo exhibit happens in 2 days! I’m still working on some last minute stuff… printing, framing and prepping food for the opening reception. Everything happens on Thursday April 21st at the Cre8ery gallery in Winnipeg’s Exchange District — and you’re invited!
It will be a group photo exhibit with my photographic art collective f/action. Our photo projects explore the notion of fragmentation, and in my 54-photo series, I’ve created fragmented portraits – exploring more specifically the question of self-identity. I’ve been working on this photo series since the fall and I can’t wait to finally show the photos! (you know me, I always love blogging my photos as soon as I take them… But these ones have been locked away, waiting for the big reveal for this photo exhibit!)

A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting Kelly, a local Winnipeg Jazz singer/musician and actress. What a sweetheart! We had a lovely time at my studio, taking some headshot portraits for her and chatting like old friends. She was referred to me by a former photography teacher of mine and I’m grateful that our paths crossed. It was a delight working with her and I’m glad that she was so happy with the results. She even gave me a hug! It doesn’t happen often that a first-time client HUGS me after a session. She’s great. 🙂
Here are a few highlights from the headshot session, and while you’re at it, you should also check out her music over at myspace. Cheers!
A couple years ago I had the pleasure of meeting the F-Holes and taking some band photos for them at Red River College. The band has recently been working on some new music and will be going off on tour this summer. They’re also gearing up for their album release party in August at the West End Cultural Center. With all these new changes, it was time for some new band photos, so we got together at my studio to take some shots yesterday. The lighting was fantastic and we managed to get a good amount of photos in just over an hour. I love their look (!!) and I was very happy to be able to create new photos for them.
Bonne chance les gars! Have fun touring!
Today we put Élise in her Jolly Jumper for the first time – and although she doesn’t understand the concept of jumping yet, she absolutely loved being in it! Élise is one of those babies who doesn’t like to cuddle. She’d rather be facing out when you hold her, so she can look at the world all around her. She’s extremely alert and wants to explore (as much as a 3.5 month old can!). She really reminds me of me…. Wow. What have I created!? I too get bored easily, must be occupied at all times and love being in the middle of all the action. I wish there was an adult-sized Jolly Jumper for ME! (just kidding)
Here she is, exploring the world around her, and loving every minute of it!
