Baby on the way – Matt & Katie

3 things that make a great Open Image maternity session:

1) I met Matt and Katie a couple of years back on a kayak trip in BC. I was happy that they asked me to photograph their new adventure!

2) Matt suggested Sibbald Flats for a location for the session. I loved the idea as I spend quite a bit of time there on my mountain bike.

3) The weather was beautiful! I can’t believe I woke up the next morning to a full on Spring snow storm! Good timing guys!

Thanks Matt & Katie, Can’t wait to meet your little boy or girl in June!

 

 

Spring Calgary Wedding – Michelle & Grant

3 things that make a great Open Image wedding:

1) Michelle and Grant were the emcee’s at Meghan & Martin’s wedding. Meghan and Martin were the emcee’s at Michelle and Grant’s wedding. I still do not know who won the emcee off!

2) It’s not very often that I shoot a wedding in the city, so it was interesting and fun to have a change of scenery!

3) Michelle had an amazing dress, the bottom zipped off and she could showcase her awesome green rubber boots!

Congratulations Michelle & Grant!

Spring Canmore Wedding – Meghan & Martin

3 things that make a great Open Image wedding:

1) Old Friends. I always love when I get to photograph a friends wedding. It was so great catching up with the Stastook clan and meet the Balment family.

2) Great mountain location. Meghan & Martin chose to get married at the Bill Warren Training Centre at the Canmore Nordic Centre. Very fitting as they are both great athletes!

3) Great shoes! Usually the girls are the ones that love shoes, but in this case it was shoe mania all round.

Congratulations Meghan and Martin!

Surf, Swim, Cervezas and a Toyota Land Cruiser – Nicaragua Week 2

3 things that make a great Open Image vacation:

1) One of the things that I wanted to check out in Nicaragua was a development called Balcones de Majagual. I love the open air design, so I talked the boys into staying a couple of nights!

2) Shaun had heard that Lake Nicaragua had the potential for great kite surfing so we attempted a session. Kite surfing didn’t go so hot but we found a Nicaraguan hotel with cold cervezas and had great view of the volcanoes.

3) A little site seeing and a lot more beach, surf, and fun times at Taco Loco! ” Thanks friends!”

Brent Parke - April 2, 2012 - 2:41 am

Jennifer, fabulous pictures. You’ve absolutely captured the spirit of your Nicaraguan adventure.Your professsional eye has caught the moment in every shot. Well done!!

Surf, Swim, Cervezas and a Toyota Land Cruiser – Nicaragua Week 1

3 things that make a great Open Image vacation:

1) A trip to Nicaragua has been on my radar for a couple of years now. I was really excited when a couple of my friends were all in for a little Jenn and Friends adventure.

2) We rented a house just north of San Juan Del Sur over looking Playa Maderas. It had an amazing pool with an incredible view and was a short walk to the surf and fish tacos!

3) We took a break from the beach for a day and road tripped to Granada. The city is located on the coast of Lake Nicaragua and has a rich colonial heritage. I loved all the beautiful colours!

 

Stay tunes for more photos of week 2!

Sue MacLean - April 1, 2012 - 11:14 pm
