Rodeo Storyboards

I thought that some of these needed to be seen in sequence so I made up some panos :)

Rodeo!!

I went to the rodeo last month (for the first time shhh!) and had an awesome time!  I had so much fun the first day that I went back for the finals on the third day.  I shot about 300 frames in total!  And, I even got to see my favourite bull rider, Ty Elliott, in person!  (I was super excited about that!  Unfortunately the light turned to poop right before he rode so my shots of him aren't that great.)  Now I'm totally hooked and I want to go to the Calgary Stampede...too bad that's not feasible right now:( 

I hope you like these, there are lots!  I would love some feedback since this was my first time doing this kind of event.

Pausing for a Breather

I've been busy lately!  It's wonderful when I have work, but I think I'm going to take a wee break now that all of my editing for clients is done.  My last shoot was of my friend's dog, Chester.  She needed some conformation shots of him for his stud book.  I've never done anything like that before so it was quite interesting.  Getting him to stand square was a challenge, but I think I got some shots that will work.  Images of him turned away from me while looking back towards me, however, was nearly impossible!  I'll have to re-try those ones another day.  Overall, Chester did really well and he's such a handsome boy!

I still have a ton of my own photos to edit!  Horse photos, camping photos and about 300 rodeo photos!!  Whew!  It's going to take me a while to get through them all.  I am looking forward to the rest of the summer though!  I have an engagement shoot in a few weeks and the wedding in Sept!  So excited!!  (My first solo wedding shoot - no pressure LOL!)  We're going over to Hornby in a couple of weeks too, so I hope I get some good images over there as well:)

Bye for now!  *Deep breath*

Meet Max!

I had the pleasure of photographing Max a couple of weeks ago.  He was so well behaved the entire time!  He stayed awake and happy and even kept facing my camera, such a good model!  He was super handsome too, gorgeous blue eyes and the most amazing reddish/brown hair.  He's going to be a looker for sure!!  I had a heck of a time going through all the frames because liked so many of them...hence all the samples you are getting now!  Enjoy!
