I went out to shoot a few photos last night here in Calgary and I had to bust out the ol winter jacket! It was crazy windy and pretty cold. As if the cold night wasn’t enough, I woke up to snow on my car and lawn haha. Thankfully it’s all melted now and the …

Wedding Party in the Park: Caroline & Danny
I shot Caroline & Danny’s wedding last weekend and it was a blast! The ceremony was an intimate setting, yet with a full house. The entire ceremony was beautiful and everything went rather smoothly. Well, it went smoothly after some forgotten flyers showed up 15 minutes late haha. After the ceremony we zipped over to Confederation Park …
Canon vs Sony 70-200mm
I have been shooting a decent amount with my Sony a7R these days and I have run into some auto focus speed issues along the way. I have found that Sony’s hit rate of moving subjects is noticeably lower than what I have been used to with my Canon gear. This issue rang especially true …
Waiting for the Times
This is a really random shot I snapped while walking down the street in Port Townsend, Washington with my son last year. He wasn’t actually waiting for anything, just climbing around like kids do :). Thanks for stopping by, Rob
Lake of the Stars
Last thursday night I took a little trip to the mountains in and effort to escape the city lights. With me being an urban type of guy, this is some what out of character for me. However, I do enjoy a bit of fresh air and a starry sky from time to time and I have …
Fetch
I was driving by this park the other day and I had never seen it before. As I drove I could see it was rather hilly, so I decided to take a little drive around to see if there was any good photos to be had. I landed on this location and thought I might …
Twin Sheds
I was driving in the country one day when I zipped by these random sheds in this field. I kept on driving a little ways when I decided it might make a good picture. A quick stop and U-turn later I was walking through these strange bushes trying not get my shoes dirty haha. The …
Wedding by the River: Mal & Jay
I shot Mal & Jay’s wedding last weekend and it was a beautiful day for it! I started my day off at Mal’s house to get some shots of her and the girls while they got ready. When I arrived everyone was in good spirits and clearly having fun. After some fun shots with the …
Run Over The Skipping Stone
I went out and shot some photos last night with a friend of mine (guy ruining my picture at the bottom of the frame haha). We walked around St. Patrick’s Island here in Calgary looking for some good shots with the city in the background. I took only two lenses with me, my 300mm 2.8 & …
Valley Ridge Wedding: Claire & Eric
This wedding was a little extra fun for me because I have known these 2 for a couple of years now. Claire just happens to be the daughter of a lovely woman whom I have been shooting real estate for over the past 3 years! And I have watched a few sporting events with Eric …
4 Year Old Violet
This is the 3rd photo shoot I have done with Violet and her mom. Violet is about to turn 4 years old and for the past couple of birthdays we have done a photo shoot. It’s so fun to see her over the years and watch how she has changed. This year Violet was easier …
Mary Portrait
My mother in-law was just in town over the weekend and I shot this portrait of her yesterday. We shot the photo right in front of my house. There are a lot of trees around my house and I thought it would look nice to use them for a green background. I used one Canon …
The Host
A couple of weeks ago I went to a BBQ at a friends place down the street. This young lady was our gracious host :). I didn’t take too many pictures, because I figured I’d better talk to people instead of being “camera guy” the whole time haha. Thanks for stopping by, Rob
