We are so excited to announce the grand opening event for our new downtown studio this Friday, June 26, 2009. We will be mingling at the studio from 7 to 10 pm and we'd love for you to come check things out (Mingling will be way more fun if more than just Devin and I show up!). Also you can enter for a chance to win a photo extravaganza including a session and an album of your best shots (over $500 value). This is a dress/casual evening, please no jeans, t-shirts, or ass-less chaps. Hope to see you on Friday!

Cheers,
Dani & Devin

P.S. We are located at 1317 Central Avenue, Prince Albert

My very good friend, Janelle, has just opened a small hair studio in her home and does amazing work. She will also be doing hair and make up for the studio.
To celebrate her new venture and my new venture Janelle gathered some beautiful women did their hair and make up and we took pictures and drank wine. It was a fabulous evening!!

We're moved into the new studio but still waiting on about half of our furniture to arrive. We won't have regular hours until the end of June. That's about when we hope to have everything here and ready to go. You can find Devin and I at the studio on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 4-6pm and on Thursdays from 4-8pm.

We are taking appointments in the studio now so if you'd like to book give us a call or come down and check things out.

On Saturday Devin and I celebrated at the studio and hooked up the remote system for the camera to take a few pics of ourselves in our new diggs;

Then on Sunday, Mother's Day, Mom and I got a few shots together;

I have so many things to blog. Hopefully I'll find some time to get all caught up in the next little while.
Cheers,
Dani

(05.14.09 @ 10:08 PM)
Lynette:

Wow! You both look so great! I don't think I would have recognized your mom had I passed her on the street...but I probably haven't seen her in like 18+ years... Where's the studio located? Maybe we'll pop in one evening on our way through to Candle lake! It would be great to see you.

It hasn't come very easy these past few weeks. I'm up late and awake early. Sleep is restless and filled with images of things that need to be completed, things that must not be forgotten, things that aren't perfect... yet.

I will post images this weekend of the progress in the studio. I wish I had taken before pictures.

My thoughts are scattered...

I think I will try to sleep soon. Right now sleeping looks and sounds great;

Yes Mom, I know I haven't seen you in like almost 3 weeks. I'll try to stop in this weekend.
Jackie, you are at the very top of my to do list. I miss you.

Kelly Moore is an amazing photographer in Ruston Louisiana. She is at the very top of my list of photographers whose workshop I long to attend.
Kelly really knows how to work full sun to her advantage. In fact Kelly rocks any lighting situation. Right now she has a little contest running on her website for full sun images. This image is my absolute favorite full sun shot. I love the colour, the moody clouds in the background, even the reflection of the water on Sarah's face;

I love this photo. The light and how it sets everything is amazing. The model is gorgeous (of course)!

(07.14.09 @ 02:30 PM)
What do photographers do for fun? Well, take pictures of course.
Brittinea was sweet enough to be my model for a day last summer and I can't wait to go out and and play with her again. She is a stunning beauty with modeling experience.How fun for me!!!

I show everybody, I can't help myself. It is among my most cherished possessions. The KISS album of mine and Devins first professional photo session is what I would save if my house was on fire and my loved ones were safe. We have decided to have professional photos done at least every two years from now on. Eventually I will have an entire collection of albums that document our lives and our love.

I absolutely love designing albums. Knowing that my clients have such an amazing way to cherish their images the same way I cherish mine fills my with joy.10x10cover.jpg 001.jpg 002003.jpg 004005.jpg 006007.jpg 008009.jpg 010011.jpg 012013.jpg 014015.jpg 016017.jpg 018019.jpg 020.jpg

Love this book....what a lucky little girl!

You are awesome! You totally make my world! Thank you so much for trusting us with your biggest of days. Thanks for creating gorgeous, romantic, lovely days for us to document. Thank you for being vunerable in front of our cameras. There is not a moment that goes by during which I am not completely thankful for you and the amazing impact you have in my daily life.
Thank you.

I received a couple of lovely emails from brides today thanking me, but I cannot express enough just how thankful I am for them. I really can't think of a better job. I meet the most amazing people and I'm constantly making new friends. Devin is always making fun of me because after every shoot I always say I want that couple to be our new best friends. Kinda creepy, I know, but I really do love and appreciate all of my incredible clients.

Dani :

Hey Mickey, So glad you received the magazine. I got my latest issue yesterday too. Aren't the images breathe taking? Pocket Wizards are radio trans-receivers that allow me to fire my flash off camera. Very portable, perfect for on location lighting.
