I’m very excited to announce that Sunflowers Photo is going to have a booth at the Calgary Baby and Tot show again this year. We’d love to see you at the Calgary Stampede BMO Centre on October 2.

It’s been a busy few weeks around here as we’ve been preparing for the tradeshow. I can’t wait to show you what we’ve been up to! So, stop by our exhibit to say hi, view some of our photography and to get a glimpse at our one of a kind products – you can now get your child’s portrait on a diaper bag!

There will be some great promotions at the show as well. Stop by our booth to pick up a promotion card that will save you 50% off your custom photography session and an 8×10 gallery print (valued at over $100). On top of that, if you book your next session while you are at the Calgary Baby and Tot Show, you’ll also receive a free 11×14 print and a special gift (valued at over $200).

We’ll also be giving away items and you could be the lucky winner of our gift basket giveaway.

I’m looking forward to seeing some new faces as well as my existing clients. See you on October 2!

I have been caught – hook, link and sinker – by this little mermaid.

This afternoon, I had the pleasure of spending a fun-filled photography session with Sydney (or Syd, as she prefers to be called) while we tested out the newest portrait set and costumes to arrive at Sunflowers Photo.

Syd (and her parents) graciously offered to help me out with a dry run of the new seaside experience portraits, and I couldn’t have asked for a more delightful volunteer. She arrived with her hair in perfect ringlets and was eager to put on the  costume to show me her best mermaid impersonation. As you can see, it was fantastic.

I can understand Syd’s enthusiasm. It’s always exciting to get a new backdrop. Since the new ocean scene backdrop arrived at the studio a few weeks ago, I’ve been fluttering with new ideas to bring to all my favourite people – my clients.  And, now that there are new handmade costumes (mermaids and vintage sailors) and props to go with it,  it’s time to unveil the newest portrait option.

I am so happy with all of the photos, and had a very difficult time trying to decide which ones to share with all of you.

Thank you, Syd, for making my afternoon so much fun! In fact, I enjoyed this session so much, I’ve decided to make it my summer studio special.

If you would like your very own seaside experience photo, call today (403.272.4403) to book your session.

I had the greatest compliment an artist can receive! I recently had the honor of photographing Mike and Carla’s new baby girl Maelle with their son Noah, whom I have been photographing since he was a baby.

Nearing the end of their session Mike asked if I could do a pose with his baby girl and the tattoo on his chest. I said certainly and to my amazement it was an incredible piece of art in ink….an image I had taken of his wife, Carla holding their son on his chest over his heart. How amazing is that?!

I was reminded of how my imagery as a professional photographer can impact a person’s life, how I captured a moment in time that Mike wanted to honor with permanence on his body. Wow, I feel truly privileged! Thanks Mike and Carla for trusting and allowing me to capture your children, your Legacy of Love.
