ALBERTA REGION IMAGE COMPETITION

WE DID IT!

We’re OVERJOYED and couldn’t wait to share our amazing news with y’all!

This year being an observer member of the Professional Photographers of Canada has taught me so much, so I decided to enter into the Alberta regional image competition. Competitions are nerve racking as $#!%. I thought what the heck, just toss your images in and if anything utilize the feedback to keep improving your craft Andrea.

September 12th

Cue nail biting as I sat waiting in anticipation on what the scores would be. Keep in mind this competition is judged by top photographers not only in the Alberta region but in Canada! Prestigely awarded photographers.

So what did they say?

Legend

E: Excellence (or if you understand medal placings E = Gold)
M: Merit (M = Silver)
A: Accepted (A = Bronze)
NA: Not Accepted (NA = no medal)

MoonDreams | Category: Fine Art | Score: Merit

Elegance | Category: Portrait | Score: Accepted

We can’t thank you enough for supporting our little business and continuing to help us grow in our passion of the art of Photography. These scores wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our little village of clients, mentors, family & friends.

LIGHT – WRITING

If you break down the word ‘photography’, it literally means “light – writing.” While technological advances have changed since it was first named, the original meaning still gives me all of the feels.

Light absolutely matters! Its a topic often discussed in the photography world regardless of your level of expertise. I believe one of the most common hurdles to overcome is how to use your light. Be it natural light or studio light. While I may not be the most profound expert on the matter I do understand that it is a key factor for creating a successful image. Brightness and darkness are determinations of light, it helps set the mood of the image. Hence why it’s imperative to know correct control and manipulation of it, getting your image the best texture, colour vibrancy and luminosity.

Please note, Im not an instructor and don’t claim to be one but I do hope this helps my clients understand why I choose specific times of day particularly when shooting outdoors and then when shooting indoors in the studio for specifically styled genre’s.

Thank you for sticking with us and supporting our small business!

FAQ FRIDAY #2

Location Location Location

‘Where are we getting our portraits done?’

It’s almost time for your session and we’re trying to decide on a location. Below are some things you’ll want to think about.

Keep in mind the décor of your home. My personal photography style is more modern minimalistic or brighter and softer. My home is also more modern minimalist. I would never have us dressed in bright colors on a canvas in my wall because it doesn’t go with my minimalistic style. Make sure you coordinate your outfits and locations to match the décor style of your home. You also will need to coordinate the colors with the walls of your house so they don’t clash.

If you have a modern minimalistic space like mine, studio portraits look gorgeous and outdoor pastels will go with all modern minimal decor.

The above being said however, if you have a more modern home, studio photos will more than likely be your best option.

You can also choose to have a lifestyle session done inside your home. We will come to your house and take photos of your family in your own natural environment. These are beautiful and will look great in your house because they match perfectly.
