Jacobson Family

If you ever want to know what the hottest day of the year is going to be in Saskatoon, just ask me what day the Jacobson family has their family photos scheduled (here is last year's heatwave). This year we chose a very unique location. I thought McNab Park, in it's colourful urban decay would create a cool juxtaposition with Jordana and Perry's refined style. Throw in a little girl's tea party and you've a got a shoot like no other. The little girls, Ryan and Layla's sense of style is no accident. They went shopping with mom at Jordana's new kid's shop, Craving's Kids lifestyle boutique! Watch for Jordana's partner, Rebecca and her family's photos in a few weeks and you'll see what all the cool little boys are wearing too!

Mike & Tyra~Engaged!



Mike and Tyra are getting married down south this winter. Just them and the big ocean and miles of beautiful sand! Tyra warned me, REALLY warned me ahead of time that Mike hates having his photo taken...hates it!9he even apologized) So, I was prepared... BUT, I wasn't prepared for how easy it actually turned out to be! (He ended up being a great subject, they both did!)

Baillie, the Gorgeous Grad

The Janex family really knows how to enjoy their photo shoots! Remember big sister Brianne from last year? (well, I remember her because she was my assistant for a full year before she became enamored with building my last website and desired to leave me for the brights light of web design school, 2 weeks ago. Sigh, I really do wish her the best). So anyway, younger sister Baillee graduated this year and we culminated her shoot with another rockin- good-time-family photo shoot!

Lucky Number Thirteen

Thirteen years ago, he made me a Fritz....then he made me a mother (twice). All along he's made me laugh. Heather and Rob, it's a really good thing.

Happy Anniversary, Babe.

Danika Lorèn & Mark Turner (nationally acclaimed artists)

I cried when I first heard soprano, Danika Lorèn sing and pianist, Mark Turner play. It was a little embarrassing because I was in a room full of professionals, Opera supporters and generally cultured people. (but not so embarrassing that I won't begin this blog post with the fact). I have photographed Danika and Mark through various Saskatoon Opera related events and by the time we met to do this photoshoot0 to promote their concert it was a curious thing to capture their unyielding talents mixed with their BIG BIG personalities. Congratulations to them both. Danika (accompanied by Mark) won Nations (voice) and continues to bring audiences to their feet (and to tears) as she performs and pursues her studies in Toronto. Mark is home-based and teaches out of Saskatoon.

Paula Ghiglione-Realtor

Paula's a different kind of realtor. Her mission from the onset of her career has been to match a person/family's lifestyle to the environment and home she finds for them. It's kind of amazing the detail that goes into such a mission. Because she's a different kind of realtor, she wanted a different kind of head shot. you can find Paula's website here: www.paulaghiglione.com
