Shannon Tweed-at home in Beverly Hills

At the beginning of August I was invited into the home of Canadian actress/model, Shannon Tweed and her rock star partner, Gene Simmons to capture images for Saskatchewan's own Fine Lifestyles and Fine Homes magazines. The following is the first of two articles resulting from my visit. This one, featured in both Fine Homes magazines focuses on the re-decoration of the family home in Beverly Hills. Hitting the racks in September will be the Fine Lifestyles issues featuring the gracious Shannon herself on the cover, accompanied by an article ion her life along with more photos of her and her family. Enjoy, I sure did.

Remembering Jaren

On July 24th, beautiful-always-smiling Jaren died of SIDS. His mother, Erin, and his family have decided to honour his memory by holding a fundraiser for the Canadian Foundation of SIDS Research on Jaren's first birthday.

Polka Dot Piggy-the Studio

From the success and quality of Polka Dot Piggy::Designs by Kara, you would expect that home offices would be in a towering skyscraper and that product would be made in a foreign factory. Share in my delight as you tour through Kara's natural light-filled studio set above a garden centre just outside of Saskatoon. Kara's made-for-children and moms products embody her personality with their colour, creative design and functionality. This mother of four (yup, kids are welcome in the studio), sews EVERY piece herself and distributes worldwide with her hugely successful Etsy site. Locally you can find her aprons, eco-friendly snack bags, nursing covers, bibs and more at Cravings Kids lifestyle boutique , Cravings Maternity & Baby Boutique and Paisley Party and Gift Boutique.

Special Assignment: Shannon Tweed

on location in Beverly Hills with just another girl from Saskatoon!

So here's a fair warning, blog posts may slow down a bit for the next little while as my schedule speeds up. The funny thing about my blog (which I always tend to entirely myself) is that the busier I am, the less I have time to blog.

I find myself a wee bit behind my workflow this week as I was invited by Fine Lifestyles Magazine to photograph the beautiful Shannon Tweed and family in their home in Beverly Hills this weekend. Yes, there will be a blog post about this incredible photo shoot and then probably another about our time spent on Rodeo Drive but in the meantime, just know that I'm a busy bee out photographing other important (but maybe lesser-known) people of Saskatchewan!
