Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torch Relay | winnipeg manitoba

torch     {tawrch}

n.     something considered as a source of illumination, enlightenment, guidance, etc.

This morning the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torch Relay made it’s way past the studio on Portage Avenue.  We made sure not to miss this historic event.  Myself and Grant were both armed with a camera.  I was on a snowbank in front of the studio and Grant was on the median shooting back towards the studio.  It went by so fast, but was still worth standing out in the -39°c temperature (with the wind chill).  Here are some of the shots that we got as the Torch went by.

Political Christmas Portrait | winnipeg manitoba

ar·ti·cle     {ahr-ti-kuhl}

n.     a written composition in prose, usually nonfiction, on a specific topic, forming an independent part of a book or other publication, as a newspaper or magazine.

 

I just got an email from one of our clients, Manitoba Conservative MLA Mavis Taillieu, who is the provincial representative for Morris.  Her email had a link to an article about her Christmas card in the Winnipeg Free Press.  Of course, we took the portrait for it.  

Here is an excerpt from the article found on the Winnpeg Free Press’ website:

Capital Chronicles with Mia Rabson  |  Winnipeg Free Press  |  Dec, 16, 2009

“But so far the best holiday card photo I’ve seen has to be that of Manitoba Conservative MLA Mavis Taillieu. The provincial representative for Morris is standing with her husband and two sons under a tree in a park-like setting. It is pouring rain and they are huddled under an umbrella and Taillieu is hunched into herself, arms crossed around herself for warmth and looks like she is positively freezing.

At first I wondered why they wouldn’t have just rescheduled the photo shoot if the weather were that horrible. Then I thought hey, bravo to Mavis. First of all, with the wet, cold weather of 2009, finding a day when it wasn’t raining was about as easy as it is to find Waldo at a convention of red-hatted people.

Plus that photo is in many ways symbolic of the year that was. For 2009 will not go down in history as a year many people want to remember. From the economic meltdown and major government deficits, growing unemployment lines, H1N1, you name it, It kind of feels a bit like the entire year was spent under a rain cloud. That picture just kind of personifies it.”

a not so typical Family Fall Portrait

a not so typical Family Fall Portrait

The story behind the photo….A couple of years back we had done a portrait of her and her husband for her Christmas card.  This year, her two sons were coming in for Thanksgiving weekend, so we scheduled a family session to photograph them in their home and outdoors on a walking path that she often walks on near her home.  Mavis really wanted fall colours and the popular, beautiful fall portrait.  When we got to the location, just as I was about to click the shutter it started to snow. Not just a light fluffy snow, but a outright downpour of wet snow.  We waited in the cars for about 10 minutes hoping it would blow by, but it didn’t, so I said…well I have an umbrella, lets just go for it.  So we did a fun one with the umbrella to capture the moment and then did some without.  It was soo much fun.  We also headed back to her house to do some more inside.  But we all felt that the snow shots were fun and couldn’t wait to see them.
When Mavis came to view the images, she decided almost immediately that the umbrella portrait would be her Christmas card.  She loved that it was different and so did I.

I think she made the right choice :)   It just goes to show, that no matter what the weather, a professional photographer can “make it work!” as Tim Gunn (from the hit Bravo TV’s show by Heidi KlumProject Runway) says.

cot·tage     {kot-ij}

n.     a small, modest house at a lake, mountain resort, etc., owned or rented as a vacation home.

What comes to your mind when you hear the word “Cottage”.  I used this word for my definition today, because I thought it would be a nice ironic way to explain the house we just photographed.  Don’t be mistaken.  This is a “Cottage” or should I say “Summer Home” which is located on Lake of the Woods in Ontario. 

I’m going to try to keep this short, because this is one example of “a pictures says a thousand words”.  But there are so many unique features about this home to tell you about and it only took us 10 hours to photograph it!  I’ll make comments about the images as you scroll through them.

Firstly, here is the exterior of the cottage.  It is located on a bay and quite a ways up on a hill.  Getting the perfect shot would have meant going out onto the lake.  Only there were two things keeping me from doing that.  1.  The lake wasn’t frozen over enough for me to walk on.  2. There was ice on the lake preventing me from going out on the lake with a boat. 

In the top image, you can see how steep the incline is to the cottage.  The building on the bottom of the hill was one of the other 5 building aside from the main building on the property.  The bottom building is a guest cabin.  The building on the hill, far on the left, is another guest cabin with a full kitchen, fireplace, and loft (also shown in bottom right image).  The home owners built this building first as a “practice cottage” to make sure that they were happy with all of their choices in finishes, suppliers and contractors. No one knew that they were going to build a larger cottage until the “practice cottage” was completed.

 The foyer is almost like a back door to the cottage, but is just as impressive on it’s own and when you walk in you have a view out to the lake.

The main living space features a spacious living room with a gorgeous stone fireplace.  There is a seating area around the fireplace and a secondary one around a flat screen t.v. on the wall.  The entire cottage is finished in Birch siding which was done specifically to weather the winter when the cottage is vacant.

The homeowners are avid fishermen and gardeners.  To keep the smell of fish to a minimum, a 3 season cooking area with a dining area to seat 8 was built in one of  the two 3 season rooms adjacent to the main dining room.   A large accordian glass wall seperates the two dinning areas, but easily opens to create a large are for large gatherings.

Newborn Portraits | Winnipeg Manitoba

new·born     {noo-bawrn, nyoo-}

adj.     recently or only just born

n.     a newborn infant; neonate

Babies!  Babies!  Babies!  Wow have there been a lot of baby sessions recently.  Newborn sessions are one of my favourite types of sessions to photograph.  Each baby is so special and beautiful…a true miracle of life.  With over 14 years experience as a professional photographer, our clients trust in my experience as a mother and a professional photographer to photograph them – and the results are breathtaking.

 
 
 

 

Mackenzie - 10 days old

Addison - 10 days old

When we, Artistic Impressions,  book a newborn session, we recommend the baby being between 7 to 14 days of age for the very best pictures of the baby.  The baby is less fussy at this time, and also will have better skin as the baby acne has usually not set in yet.

 

 

Kingston - 20 days old

Kingston - 20 days old

If you would like to capture a family session at the same time, we encourage both parents to be there if possible.  As a new Mom, you may feel that this is not an ideal time for you to have a portrait session considering you just gave birth only days ago.  But not to worry – years of experience have taught me how to capture you in your best light.  By focusing on capturing the closeness between Mom, Dad and baby, and creating an environment where the whole family can relax, the results are keepsakes for generations to come.

As proud new parents you will want to preserve and record every precious moment in your baby’s life.  As a mother, I treasure all the pictures of my daughter taken over the years, especially those from her first year of her life as she reached all the different milestones.  But the most precious is the newborn portraits as they are so small and delicate.  You will be surprised how much your child will change from one week to another.  

 

 

 

 

Mackenzie - 10 days old

Mackenzie & Daddy - 10 days old

Let me help you capture those precious newborn moments in exquisite, beautiful professional portraiture.  Feel free to bring something that is special to you and your baby, such as baby’s blanket, heirloom rattle, your childhood book or a first stuffed animal to name just a few.  We have a number of clients that come in with items from their careers, such as Paramedics, Fire Fighters, Search and Rescue Tech, etc.  Personal items make the portrait just that more special for you and your family. I strongly recommend comming down to the studio for a planning consultation before you give birth so that we can be prepared for when you arrive and you can have everything you need to bring ready to go.  My goal is to create a heirloom portrait where your baby is comfortable and relaxed and will showcase your baby’s sweet, natural expressions.

Newborn portraits will be the most treasured and beautiful portraits you will ever have taken of your child. It’s never too soon to get started so call today for your appointment at 204.831.8310 or email us at info@aiphotography.com.  Also available are gift certificates to make a special gift that will be enjoyed for years to come.  Please call the studio and we can customize one for you to give to that special mother to be.

Here are some of the little angels that I have had the pleasure of photographing just recently in their first couple of weeks.

Christmas Portrait Fundraiser | winnipeg manitoba

fund-rais·er     {fuhnd-rey-zer}

n.     One, such as a person or an organization, that raises funds.

 

So since the holiday season is now upon us…we are in the giving spirit here at Artistic Impressions.  We have recently decided to hold a fundraiser for a local school, St. Charles Catholic School, here in Winnipeg.  This school is a wonderful private school and doesn’t receive the same funding from the government as a school in the public system.

st_char

In order to keep the tuition reasonable for a families to afford, they rely alot on fundraising for the items that the school needs.  One such item, that is a new key learing tool in the classrooms is a SMART board.  A SMART board is an interactive whiteboard that replaces a chalkboard and overhead projections.  Both Grant and myself think it is a great learning experience for the children and of course the way of the future. Because we feel so fortunate that our daughter is in a class with such new technology, we would like to see more of them in schools for all children to benefit from.  They do cost a lot of money, so  we thought we would help out by holding a fundraiser to raise money to purchase one…or two.  What a great Christmas present it would be for the school and to be able to announce the achievement at their annual Christmas concert!

We brainstormed and came up with the perfect fundraiser for this time of year that everyone can easily take part in and be able to help St. Charles Catholic School in obtaining a new SMART board.  So here is the deal…most families still send out traditional holiday greeting cards.  What is better is sending cards to your family and friends with a recent portrait of your family or children for everyone to see much the kids have grown up, how your family is growing…and how older we are looking :(  LOL! 

We are offering a “wee” Christmas portrait session that includes 25 Christmas cards for only $75!  We will donate back to the school the full $75 to be put towards the purchase of a new SMART board.  It will take as few as 35 families to participate to purchase one SMART board.  What a great way to support the school and for you to also get something in return, that you can share with your family and friends.

The details are…

card-1-for-blog

$75 per session* includes:

•  1 “wee” Christmas family or childrens portrait session (includes 1 background and upto 10 proofs to choose from)

•  25-5×7 personalized photo Greeting Cards** (a number of designs to choose from exclusive to our studio)

•  Additional cards are available at only $3.25/card**

•  100% of the session fee goes to St. Charles Catholic School for the purchase of a new SMART board.

 

If you are interested in participating & having a sitting done,please contact the studio at 831-8310 or via email info@aiphotography.com 

You don’t have to be a St. Charles family to take part of this fundraiser, so tell your friends and family about it. You can direct them to this blog or our Artistic Impressions Photography Fan Page on Facebook for details and samples of our work.

* Sessions must be photographed by December 9th to guarantee the cards back in time for you to mail out.      

** envelopes included

We posted a contest in early September for people interested in a Pin-up style photo shoot, complete with makeup artist.  We had a great response and that made selection difficult.  We have chosen a winner, and after speaking with her last night, it couldn’t have come at a better time for her, as it has turned a bad week into a great one for her.

Grant and I started Artistic Impressions in January 1996.  Wow! That seems like so long ago, yet on the other hand, just like it was yesterday.  A couple of years later we had our logo developed for us by a graphic designer who was also our client.  It served us well, but it’s time for a fresh new look as we start our 15th year of business in January.  I designed half a dozen options and we polled some of our clients, family and friends.  One really stood out as the winner.

So I am pleased to show you the new look for ARTISTIC IMPRESSIONS photography.  We are very excited about the new direction that our marketing pieces are going.  Please bear with us as we transition from the past to the present.

Pin-Up Photography | winnipeg manitoba

pin·up     {pin-uhp}

  n.     a.   A picture, especially of a sexually attractive person, that is displayed on a wall. 
         b.   A person considered a suitable model for such a picture.

There once was a time when images of women were filled with secrets and mystery, intrigue and enticement.  A sideways glance; the trailing smoke of a slender cigarette; a whisper of danger on cherry red lips, it was an era where tease and suggestion reigned supreme.  Pin-Up photography was popular in the 40’s and 50’s. Judy Garland, Brigitte Bardot, Sophia Loren, Norma Jeane (aka. Marilyn Monroe) and Bettie Page, to name a few, made many poses famous.   These portraits concealed just enough to be innocent and scandalous all at once.  Pin-Up portraits generally focus only on the subject, with background and props kept to a minimum. 

Our Pin-Up portrait session will transform you from your everyday life into a beautiful glamorous Hollywood style 50’s Pin-Up!  We promise that your time at Artistic Impressions is an amazing, fun and unique experience.  Pin-Ups are for every woman – they are about the everyday woman! 

I recently had the pleasure of photographing one of our clients, Sam, who had come to me with the vision on doing a Pin-Up style session.  We brainstormed some ideas at our design consultation and set the plan into action.  The day of the session, Sam brought with her, her mom, grand-mother, a hairstylist, a friend…and a bottle of wine.
Here are some of my favourite images from the session.  Keep reading to find out more about our Pin-Up session and how you can win a Pin-Up session of your own.

Simply beautiful Sam!

This portrati reminds me of Marilyn Monroe.  Stunningly beautiful!

This portrait reminds me of Marilyn Monroe. Stunningly beautiful!

What to expect when doing a Pin-Up session…Usually a whole lot of fun!  You’ll start by getting your hair and make-up done.  What you wear is entirely up to you.  Bring as many outfits as you like, it is good to have a lot of choices.  If you have something in mind, but you are afraid it will be too much (or too little) you can always bring it along, change your mind, and leave it on the hanger.  We will help you choose from the clothing you brought and pick out 3 outfits which will work best with the poses you want to try. 

We have a number of props that will compliment this style of portraiture, but you are always welcome to bring any props that you feel may work, bring out your personality or have a special meaning to you.

Next you’ll plug in your iPod with your favourite playlist to set the mood and step into the studio to create the glamorous you with studio lights flashing all around you like a classic Hollywood movie star.

You’ll look your best if you are feeling relaxed and comfortable. So along with your favorite music, bring anything else that will make you feel calm, confident and beautiful–a good luck charm, a good friend, a bottle of  wine…whatever it takes to help you feel comfortable, build your confidence and sense of adventure.

re·lax·a·tion     {ree-lak-sey-shuhn}

n.     abatement or relief from bodily or mental work, effort, application, etc.

 

How do you relax?  What do you do for yourself?  Do you take the time?  We all lead such busy lives that I think we forget to take a moment to just relax.  Life is too short.  Our tired bodies need to relax and feel rejuvenated once in a while.

I can’t think of a better way to relax, then to visit a luxurious, inviting, peaceful spa.  I photographed Riverstone Spa located in the Inn at the Forks at The Forks just recently.  What an amazing spa.  It is so warmly decorated and had a wonderful cozy feeling to it.  The owner of the spa brought in a model from Panache Management for the shoot.  She had a great morning…as you will be able to tell from the images posted.  The images we captured will be used on Riverstone Spas website and spa promotional material.

The next time I need to go for a massage, I am going to go to the Riverstone Spa.  They have the only massage therapist certified in Manitoba to do Jade Stone Massage Therapy.  It sounds so interesting and relaxing that I think I may try it out one day.  I was interested in learning more about Jade Stone Massage Therapy, and this is what I found.

Jade Stones
Jade Stone Massage incorporates heated and cooled Jade Stones that are placed on the body and/or used for massage. These stones have been cut to various shapes and sizes and then polished providing a very smooth and silky feeling on the skin. Traditionally, Jade has been used to attract love and bring money into your life. Jade is a protective stone guarding against accidents and misfortune. Jade is believed to heal stressed organs and discharge toxins. It slows the process of cell aging and strengthens the body’s natural defenses and healing power. The soothing green color of Jade helps the body to self-heal.

Benefits of Jade Massage
* Releases toxins and increases overall health
* Prevents chronic illness
* Decreases high blood pressure
* Regulates female functions
* Strengthens blood vessels and smoothes wrinkles
