Wedding In May with Family!

I traveled to a little town outside of Winnipeg, Manitoba, in May of 2009. It was my cousins wedding and my daughter Keira was the flower girl. It was great to meet new friends and catch up with family I haven't seen in years. I took the photographs for her and her husband. It was and honour! Quilting is a major component of my heritage. I had to get a picture of the shoes ,along with the pearls she wore , on an heirloom quilt. It was a great time and the weather was very nice. The bride ended up getting cooked like a lobster!

Well, I have decided that I need to create a new letterhead. One that people will look and and say " Oh that's RedgwellPhotography". I have no idea how to do that ! I am hoping to get a good book asap! Any suggestions? I have got to buckle down and concentrait on how I want to portray myself as a photographer? What will set me apart and how do I make it mine? These are all big questions to be answered. I feel like a baby learning to walk!

Is Anyone There?

I am slowly getting the hang of this blogging thing! Have no clue if anyone is reading it, but I'm hopin. I appreciate being able to come down to my computer, let the kids attack each other, write peacefully into the night, yeah right!! I actually have decided a few things about the path I am taking. I carry fear with me!! Not a bad thing though, it is a motivation for me. My one year plan in a nut shell, Photography, the end.

The Pictures above are from an engagement photoshoot I did for a friend in Calgary, Alberta. A cute idea from the future bride! She is from here and Her man is from Ireland hence the mountie and the lepricaun... I had so much fun that day. We really just farted around and got amazing shots. They are a very playful couple, destined for an excitement filled life.

I am trying to decide which classes I would like to take to gather information. After dealing with a bridezilla of sorts ( food not photography), I am putting my foot down, I will not write a 4 page apology either! I am totally worth putting my effort in to. What was I talking about? Oh yes, classes. So I think I am going to go to one being held in Calgary. A friend of mine, Jenny Jardine, is helping with. It is all on lighting which will benefit me greatly. I hope the dates will work out in my favor. The teachings are of the great Tri-Coast and its on TTL flash systems for NIKON and Canon cameras. Yeah! an exciting decision for me.

I just love photography and people and art so It fits. I have lots of equipment to keep me busy. I have my two weddings booked for the summer. Things are looking up!
