Victoria Beach Dog Show! (Winnipeg Pet Photographers)

Leave a comment

The Victoria Beach Dog Show, which occurred today, is like no other. For this dog show, dogs just need to be cute and show up; so every dog is a winner. It helps if the dogs have a special talent, which many of the dogs had. One dog’s special talent was of returning waves when waved at. My dog, Zara’s, special talent was shedding and my step daugher’s dog, Kassidy’s talent is her spotted tongue. These unique talents got them awards, which included a dog mask (I assume for their owners), some treats and some poop bags.

The dogs had a great time wresting with each other, sniffing each other’s butts and just hanging out. My goal was to capture the dog being dogs; doing their own thing.

    A Very Special Graduate! (Winnipeg Photographers)

    A couple of evenings ago I had the pleasure of photographing my great niece with her parents. I’ve been photographing this girl for most of her life and it’s hard for me to believe that she is finished grade 12. Sarah is not only beautiful, kind and smart; she is an amazing writer and will go onto university to become a teacher.

    Here is Sarah!

    Love this picture with the flowers behind her.

    Sarah with her family and their dog Roo!

    Sometimes the best images are candids. I love this candid image for the story that it tells. It is a slice of life happening and it makes me ask questions like: why does LC , the guy with the shades, has his knee on the dog! Is this his way of keeping Roo (the dog) under control? Does it work? Or is his leg just tired and he’s using Roo as a post to lean on? I also wonder who Sarah was texting? And why she has such a big smile? Did she get a really nice message from someone or is she just happy that our photography session is over.

    Life in a photograph! That’s what this is.

    Very Special Candid!

    Graduation 2021: (Winnipeg Grad Photographers)

    Graduating from grade 12 is a special time for students and not being able to have a regular convocation or party is really tough, so a lot of parents are doing what they can to make this event special for their children. Yesterday, I met a few of the grads of 2021 in a special photography session.

    We started at Kildonan Park. It was a lovely evening. The temperature was perfect but the wind was kind of brutal at times.

    Love the smiles on these 2 girls!

    The biggest smiles on these 2 best friends!

    The girls pictured below are part of the provincial basketball team that won at Nationals; so we headed over to St. John’s Park to use the basketball courts. Note the medals they are both wearing! The wind was fierce here!

    Basketball Stars!

    Another friend arrived and was happy to pose for some pictures. We had a great time. Watch for more pictures here as I get these images edited.

    50 Years Later! (Winnipeg Photographers)

    Bob and Ilse, our friends and neighbours at the lake are this lovely couple, who recently celebrated 50 years of marriage. My husband John and Bob are childhood friends who spent every summer at the lake while getting into all kinds of mischief.

    You can’t pick your neighbours, but John and I are lucky to have this couple as our neighbours and friends. We wish them good health and a safe journey as they travel back to their home in California.

    Here are Ilse and Bob on their wedding day:

    And here they are now:

    Marlene and Barry: 50 Years and Counting! (Winnipeg Event Photography)

    I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing Marlene and Barry’s lovely family last Saturday on the occasion of their 50th wedding anniversary. Marlene and Barry celebrated with their 2 sons and their wives and their 5 grandchildren.

    I really enjoyed working with the kids, who were real cuties, but  were also completely cooperative when posing for pictures!

    The best part of this day was when Marlene wore her original wedding dress and Barry dressed up in a very dapper looking suit. How many of us would fit into our wedding dresses from 50 years ago? I know I wouldn’t be able to.

    What a lovely couple Marlene  and Barry made then and still make now!

    And here Marlene and Barry are now.  Barry bought the red and white roses for his bride. Notice the lovely smiles  on both of them.

    2020 Grads: Miles Mac Collegiate (Winnipeg Photographers)

    Leave a comment

    The grads of 2020 have missed out on the usual grad ceremonies and dinners but at least these grads got to dress up, get their pictures taken and have a party.

    I enjoyed meeting and photographing these young adults and finding out what they were all doing in the fall. I was impressed by the fact that they all had plans for university and that they knew what they wanted to do.

    The gowns that the girls wore were absolutely beautiful on them and the guys looked really dashing in their suits.

    Here is a quick sneak peek at these beautiful grads!

    It was my pleasure to be a volunteer photographer for Destination Imagination, an event that my niece, Shauna Cornwell spearheads. This year it was held on March 10th at Ecole River Heights.

    DI is a competition where teams compete with other teams in specific challenges. Teams that win at the Regional levels go to Global Finals. This year the finals will be held in Kansas City, Missouri.

    You can find out more about this program at the link Destination Imagination Info

    Here are some of the pictures that I took yesterday. I was particularly struck by the pantomime done by the group from Ecole River Heights. As you can see their production looked professional!

    This lovely couple is celebrating 50 years of marriage and were renewing their vows this past Friday.  Their whole family came to help them celebrate and I was honoured to take pictures of these good-looking and very fun people.

    Unveiling of Painting of Daryl Reid; Manitoba Legislature (Winnipeg Photographers)

    Leave a comment

    I love the variety in my job as a photographer. I do portraits of babies, children, families, head shots, weddings and the list goes on and on. Each session that I do is a new adventure with new people to meet and photograph. Photographing the unveiling of Daryl Reid’s painting at the Manitoba Legislature is an example of the variety in my job.

    It was a pleasure to have had the chance to be a part of this special day and to photograph it. A special thank you to Sylvia Jensen, my friend and assistant for coming with me on short notice.

    Here are a few images of this event.
