The Fenrich Family
With the coming of the autumn season Cheryl and Jason contacted me about having some nice lifestyle photographs taken with their daughter Jorja. Being a year-and-a-half old I knew that I would need some help so I enlisted my wife Michelle as my assistant. It seemed that Jason and Cheryl were thinking the same thing since they brought Jason’s sister Nikki along to help entertain Jorja.
Maybe it was the fresh fall air, but Jorja seemed to have a lot of energy that day so having that extra help really paid off. I spent a lot of time chasing her around to get some cute shots of her playing and interacting with her parents. She was an extremely good sport for the shoot, but started to get a bit irritated with me following her around and pointing a big black camera at her face. This seemed like a good time to focus some attention on the parents. With Michelle and Nikki entertaining Jorja I was able to grab some great photos of just Cheryl and Jason.
I had a fabulous time with the three of them, and was honoured to be given the opportunity to capture family photos for the Fenrichs. Here are some of my favourite photos from the shoot. Be sure to also check out the high definition slideshow to see even more images of this fantastic family.

Rene, Clint, Sadie, and Tucker
Clint contacted me a couple of months ago telling me that he and his wife Rene were interested in having some photos taken of themselves, and their two dogs. We scheduled the shoot for a nice autumn evening at a park in Saskatoon hoping to capture some of the splendid colours that come with the season.
I don’t regularly shoot animals so I knew it would be a fun exercise to photograph Sadie and Tucker. The park we were at is home to a Frisbee golf course which brought on an unexpected challenge – the dogs were more interested in chasing the Frisbees than posing for photos. Clint and Rene however were able to distract Sadie and Tucker long enough so that I could get some great photos of the two of them.
After giving all of our attention to the two dogs it was now time to focus on Clint and Rene. They were married just over a year ago so this was almost like a celebration of their one year anniversary. We were so lucky to get a gorgeous evening in the middle of October knowing full well that we could have been dealing with a Saskatchewan snowstorm at this time of year.
Here are some of my favourite photos from the shoot. Be sure to also check out the high definition slideshow to see even more images of the two of them.

Deborah & Scott 35th Wedding Anniversary
Deborah and Scott were all set to see their oldest son get married this past September in Saskatoon. As it happened, the two of them were also celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary. They were hoping to get some time with their son’s wedding photographer to capture some images of this great milestone, but as everyone knows a wedding photographer is pretty busy with the bride and groom on the big day. So it was a nice surprise when the newly married couple gave Deborah and Scott a photo shoot with Naidu Photography, just to say thanks for all of the help they provided with the wedding.
Being that they live in North Battleford it worked out well that Deborah had a reunion in Saskatoon a few weeks after the wedding. The timing was also great since the leaves were exploding with all sorts of fall colours. We spent a couple of hours together that Sunday evening where I was able to take some photos of them all decked out in their attire from their son’s wedding, as well as some more casual shots of them at a nearby park.
I am used to photographing newly engaged and married couples so it was a pleasant change to shoot a couple that has been together for thirty-five years. What was truly awesome was that Deborah and Scott still had that same spark that I see in all of the young couples I’ve shot.
Here are some of my favourite photos from our time together. Be sure to also check out the high definition slideshow to see even more images of the two of them.

Jill & Zach Engagement
Jill, Zach and I had a really hard time trying to schedule their engagement shoot. Between their extremely busy lives and the rain filled Saskatoon summer we found ourselves rescheduling the shoot over and over again. It looked like a Sunday in early September was going to finally work for the three of us.
What I hadn’t anticipated when booking that date was that I would be in the middle of installing hardwood floor in our entire house. I remember that particular Sunday looking like it was going to be an awesome day for the shoot so I knew that we wouldn’t be rescheduling again. The shoot was for 5:30 so my father-in-law, my wife who was 32 weeks pregnant, and I raced through laying the nursery floor.
And am I ever glad that we didn’t have to reschedule because the light that day was awesome. Jill and Zach live on an acreage about 20 minutes outside of Saskatoon and that seemed like a perfect place for the shoot. Their place was a photographer’s dream, and with them being the “outdoorsy type”, it was fitting to use as a setting.
In January they will be tying the knot in Maui, Hawaii with about 30 guests making the trip with them. Unfortunately I won’t be going along to shoot the wedding, but I am very grateful that I had the chance to work with this fabulous couple to capture their engagement photos.
Here are some of my favourite photos from our time together. Be sure to also check out the high definition slideshow to see even more images of the two of them.
