Back in November 2009 I donated an engagement session for an auction put on by Weddings in Winnipeg at the Grand Wedding Showcase held here in Winnipeg. The lucky winners of the engagement session were Faylin and Ryley – who I finally got to meet a couple weeks ago! We had been talking by phone and e-mail for quite some time, planning the perfect day to take engagement photos at Fort Whyte Centre. We finally met on a gorgeous, sunny (and hot!) Saturday morning and had a wonderful time taking pictures. They were an adorable couple with a great sense of humour. I was happy to be a part of the auction, raising support for a brand new not-for-profit organization: Learn Love, and even happier to meet Fay & Ryley for an engagement session. All the best to the organization and to the couple!

It was on a cool and humid day that I met up with Colleen & Justin for engagement photos… not sure if it was going to rain… but having my studio as a back up location just in case. The rain stayed away (for the most part) and we ended up getting some gorgeous lighting & colours throughout the exchange district and Waterfront drive. And at the end, we still took a few quick shots in the studio anyway. Before starting, Colleen confessed to feeling awkward in front of cameras, but as you can see, it didn’t show at all! They were both very comfortable with each other and with me, and we ended up having a great time. Whenever I do engagement photos, it gets me even more excited to shoot the wedding – and theirs is no exception! Just a few short months away! Congrats you two. 🙂

Cute little Noah! This little guy was about 3 weeks at the time of this shoot – very cute, with lots of fluffy blond hair like his dad. Although he was pretty hungry and squirmy that morning, we managed to get a few shots with mom & dad. He is incredibly cute, and together with his proud parents, they made a very adorable new little family. 🙂 Bryan & Cher are friends of mine, so I’m lucky enough to see this little boy grow week by week. Every time I see him, he seems to be doubling in size! They grow so fast… (cliché, but so true). Congratulations you guys!!

Well, time flies! April turned out to be a pretty busy/hectic month of shooting, editing and meeting new people. It’s been wonderful! (that and the weather). From headshots at Great West Life, to a poster campaign to promote French in schools, to photographing a children’s musical group throwing brussel sprouts at my camera (I promise those photos will come up soon), things have been pretty colourful this month! And it’s not yet over… meanwhile, I’m still teaching at PrairieView where lesson planning and marking takes up a lot of my time. Today, however, I took a group of students out shooting on location. They picked the Cathedral in St. Boniface as their location and we worked on portrait photography. By now the students are well used to taking pictures of themselves, and we enjoyed the warm weather as I helped them do some practice shooting. The PV diploma program year is drawing to an end, it’s been a great year, and I look forward to seeing their final portfolio! Here are a few of the students posing this afternoon, as well as one of their models who came for the class.
