Simply Sunday: Family Portrait

2 Comments
Annual Phillips-Knobel Family Portrait We took a trip out on to the prairies east of Calgary today to create our own family portrait for this years Christmas Card. I didn't have a firm idea in mind other than I wanted to do something on the prairie, maybe making use of a big bale of hay, an old barn, or a grain bin. Something like that anyway. So we drove around to see what we could find. It was a fun time and although the kids were pretty goofy we managed to get a few useable portraits. It's much … Continue Reading ››

Simply Sunday: Fall

Fall Portraits at Prince's Island Park It was a beautiful day in Calgary and we decided to go for a walk at Prince's Island Park. I was hoping to make a nice portrait of the kids while we were there, but I was not expecting the early onset of fall colors and even the fallen leaves on the ground.

Unfortunately the trail to Chester was closed due to Bear activity, so we had to change our plans. We decided to do the nearby Burstall Pass trail instead. The good news is that Burstall … Continue Reading ››

I've been working some really crazy hours lately trying to get caught up on all of the projects I've got going and it was really nice to actually have some time to take a break! The weather was pretty perfect for photography. It was a little bit sunny and a … Continue Reading ››

Simply Sunday: Soccer Picture Day

Simply Sunday - WRC Soccer Picture Day Today was picture day for my daughter Melanie's U8 Soccer Team. I was fortunate enough to be selected as the photographer for the league again this year. We were ahead of schedule and after Melanie's team was finished Melanie and Andrew were just hanging out and I was able to create a few cute images of them together. On a related note, Andrew's soccer picture day was yesterday, but he refused to have his picture taken. He plays U4 in a different league and sadly for Andrew, … Continue Reading ››
