Voted Best Photo Studio in Calgary!!!

Yippee!!!!!! Not only were we voted the best photo studio in YYC –  but best photo studio in Alberta! You can imagine how excited we are so super appreciative of everyone who took the time to vote for us in the Wedding Industry Experts Awards.

We were honestly overwhelmed with the amount of e-mails, messages & social media support we recieved over the last few weeks. Thank you to so many any of our past & present clients took the time to let us know how much they value & appreciate the photos we’ve taken for them, & how much they cherish the memories they provide.  Personally – whether we actually won or not became way less important as we felt the love & it reminded us once again how fortunate we are to be able to have the careers we do.

But – now we get to display this cool badge of pride on out advertising & website:)

 

Have a wonderful day!

 


Clancy & Amir bump photos

Clancy & Amir are an adorable couple. Expecting their first baby,  they are super excited & can’t wait to finally meet the new little one. Clancy is a stunningly beautiful girl who is deeply loved by Amir & it shows. Their house is covered with walls & walls of photos of all the good times together including their wedding which we photographed in 2010. After the shoot Amir wouldn’t let me leave without eating first & being the owner of Koob – he knows how to feed people!  Thanks for the hospitality & as always, it was great spending time with you guys. Enjoy the photos.  I can’t wait to meet the new little one either.

Nominated for Best Photography Studio in Calgary 2013

I am one of those people who never wins anything – 50/50 tickets, playing the lottery & door prizes have never been my forte. I don’t even buy lottery tickets any more after too many disappointments. In my mind I’m already on that sunny fantasy trip to Mexico then the (literally) cold hard reality hits as I do not hear the little voice say ‘who hoo’ when I check the ticket. Boo!
But those winners are left to chance & why we’re excited is not about chance… it’s about YOUR VOTES

Nominated? Who us? Really? COOL! Followed by the happy dance & jumping around our office this morning. Honoured does not even begin to describe what a thrill it is to be nominated for Best Photography Studio 2013 in Calgary. With your votes the nomination might become the reality of winning this coveted title!

Each day until Tuesday April 23 with 1 click you can vote for us to be the winners in the category of Best Photography Studio. One vote each day per person with just one click. They’ve made it pretty easy to participate – no pesky e-mail sign ups – no signing away your first born child or entering personal info.(why do they need to know what I ate for breakfast anyways????? A smoothie in case you were wondering).
It’s just an easy click of a button TO VOTE.

It is only because we have such amazing clients that we have been nominated & are so honoured to have the fulfilling, fun careers that we love. Photographing special moments of peoples lives is such a privilege & we can’t imagine doing anything else.

Thank-you so much for your support & now we’ll continue on with our happy dancing…

 


Cate’s cute belly

I love photographing this family! Cate & Paul are so great & always having fun together; sometimes laughing at each other, sometimes laughing at their 4 year old son Liam & sometimes just laughing together, whatever life throws at them. Their maternity photo session was mostly about Cate’s belly with soon-to-be big brother Liam dashing in & out for a few shots before he was off playing again. We’ve known Cate & Paul for several years now – capturing their lives from their e-session, wedding at Kicking Horse Mountain in Golden, B.C., maternity bump photos with Liam & his newborn photos & now – baby number 2. I can’t wait for the next photo session guys. Enjoy the photos.
