Been a hot second since I've posted. It's not that I haven't been shooting. I just post more to my Instagram than to my Facebook. 🤷‍♀️

Coming back strong with this photo of Kitsumi Cosplay in an original bunny cosplay.

Hoping to do a lot more shooting in future!

Moved to Winnipeg earlier this month and am finally set up enough that I can start shooting again!
I'm available most evenings and weekends!

My current rate package is...
- $50
- 1 person
- 1 hour shoot time
- 10 photos returned.

Any additional people would be $25/person and an additional 5 photos per person.
To shoot at any locations that cost money to enter (such as Birds Hill Park), models will need to cover those costs.
I shoot in and around Winnipeg. Any locations over an hour outside Winnipeg are subject to a travel fee.

LOOK AT THIS ABSOLUTE ANGEL!! 😍😍😍

Kitsumi Cosplay is such a babe! It was really hard to select the photos from this shoot to edit because she looked amazing in all of them!

I haven't done much (any) shooting this year, so it was really fun to get out in the sun to play for a bit. We shot so early this morning to avoid the heat and crowds, and it was definitely worth it!
I forgot how efficient I am when shooting. Even though we started late, I think we finished in about 45 minutes. I felt a little bad for Kitsumi being forced to keep up with me in her heels! 😅

I usually go into shoots knowing exactly what shots I want to get and where. I try to plan ahead of time as much as I can. I get stressed out if I feel like I'm wasting someone's time, so it's become habit for me to plan for efficiency.
Sometimes I forget that means I'm forcing people to go at my pace, which tends to be a little quicker than the average bear.

While I'm not shooting at all this month, from February to July 2021, all shoots will be only $100.
Minimum 10 photos edited, but as usual I'll edit as many photos as turn out.
Available on weekends and some evenings.

Composites will be an additional charge depending on request.

A travel fee will apply for shoots outside of Calgary depending on distance.

Before and After of another composite I've been working on.

Cosplayer credit incoming. Posting from my laptop is, strangely, more difficult than by my phone. XD

Went to Horseshoe Canyon with a group of cosplayers on Saturday. Very slowly working my way through all the photos.

I've gotten a few questions about whether I'm shooting at CCEE this year and I'm sorry to say that I'm not.

However! If you're looking for a photographer I strongly recommend Stacey.

Her shoots start at $50 for 2 people. If you would like to add additional people, it's only $10 per additional person.

She's taking limited spots, so book while you can!
