Christa & Luke are Engaged
Christa and Luke are getting married this summer in Melfort, Saskatchewan and they contacted me because they were interested in having some engagement photos made. We were getting close to Spring so I was hoping that we would be able to make it my first outdoor shoot of the season. But if you know anything about Saskatchewan winters, it rarely cooperates. This time was no exception.
Since we weren’t about to let a little cold weather get in the way of us having a good time, we found a handful of great locations around the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon to shoot. Making use of the many large windows around campus, there was plenty of soft natural light for us to have fun with.
The two of them were hoping to get a few shots downtown along the river since that was where Luke proposed to Christa, so we wrapped up at the University and decided to brave the frigid temperatures. I’m glad we decided to make the effort because now they have some photographs that they really had their heart set on getting.
Here are some of my favourite photographs from the afternoon, and be sure to also check out their high definition slideshow.

Christa & Luke Engagement Teaser
Christa and Luke are getting married this summer so we got together this past weekend to capture some engagement photos. It was one of the last cold days of the winter, but that didn’t stop us from finding some great locations in Saskatoon to showcase this gorgeous couple. Here’s a photograph I made to give you a preview of what’s to come. Check back soon for the full spread.
Rachel and Jeffrey
Rachel and Jeff live in Montreal. The last time they were in Saskatoon was this past fall and they were expecting their first child. Rachel wanted to capture this moment in their life, but didn’t want maternity photos. She just wanted to have some photographs made of her and Jeffrey just having fun.
A nice park by the river seemed like a good place to spend some time with them. It was late in the day and the sun was low in the sky creating a nice warm light. It took a little while for Rachel to get over her case of the giggles, but they did make for some great photos. I was able to also get some nice romantic shots of them as well.
A few months later Rachel and Jeffrey welcomed their daughter Ginny into the world, and hopefully I will get the opportunity to get the three of them together for some photos. Here are some of my favourite photographs from the evening, and be sure to also check out their high definition slideshow.

The Cey Family
Melanie and Ryan welcomed their son Alistair into the world seven months ago. And with his personality really starting to come out they thought it was a great time to get some photographs of him. I love doing these types of shoots in the family’s home so I can create images of them in a natural setting where everyone can just be themselves.
It has become a normal thing for me to take my wife along as an assistant when the shoot involves a youngster. She proves to be invaluable in getting the kid’s attention, and has no qualms about dancing or making funny faces. We headed to their downtown Saskatoon loft on a Saturday morning which proved to be an awesome space for the shoot. A big window provided all the natural light we needed.
Alistair was a pleasure to photograph, and I just loved this crazy breakdancing wave thing he did with his arms when he started getting tired. We were able to get a good hour of shooting in before Alistair was fed up with a camera in his face. But that was long enough to get some great shots.
We ended the morning with an delicious brunch that Melanie and Ryan were kind enough to make for all of us. That was pretty awesome of them. Here are some of my favourite photographs from the morning, and be sure to also check out the high definition slideshow to see even more images of this great family.

Alistair just turned seven months old, and his parents thought it would be a great time to capture some photographs of the three of them just hanging out at home. Here’s a teaser image that I captured that Saturday morning. Make sure to check back soon to see more shots of this great family.
