That Time I met Gwyneth Paltrow’s Wedding ...

“Is anyone sitting there?!” I said while balancing a plate of food and glass of wine.

He said “No, it’s all yours.”

And I cheered a silent ‘hoooray!’ because I was starving, and the wine was free. So far my day of solo travel had only occasionally been haunted by that painful kind of awkward. You know, the kind that almost always comes along with navigating new environments and experiences. And, dang, dare I say this was shaping up to be a good night.

I honestly can’t remember how the next bit went. But I quite quickly came to the realization that I had parked my clueless little self right beside the star of the show….

Why is photography so expensive?

OK, so here's the thing, this is really uncomfortable to talk about but I am going to anyways because I think these days transparency is everything.  So here we go (let's hope I don't make a mess of this). Why is professional photography 'expensive'?

The Story Behind the Photos // The Mojave ...

What happens when two sister’s head off into the desert with a tiny teardrop trailer and a killer road-trip playlist?! Magic, my friend. Pure magic. I am so excited to share everything about our adventure, from the creepiest night in a tiny Montana town, to the unbelievably beautiful abandoned mid-century motel that used to be frequented by celebrities like Harrison Ford!. If you love the desert as much as I do, you are going to love coming along on this wee adventure with us. Or heck, just come for the beautiful desert art!!!

More Sunshine... Can it be True {a sneakpeek} | Edmonton & Red Deer Grad Photographers

After all that rain and cold, can you believe how gorgeous it has been lately???  Finally I have been able to reschedule rained out shoots like this one =)Talia, as I am sure you will noticed, is an absolutely gorgeous girl and is graduating this year.  It was so great working with her, sometimes I really think I am spoiled... I get to work with some truly amazing people.  I suppose it is one of the perks of being a photographer.  But anyways, other than obtaining a wack load more mosquito bites, it was such an amazing & enjoyable shoot.  Talia, I hope that you love your sneakpeek, I can't wait for you to see the rest!  And I am very much looking forward to meeting your whole family for pictures later this summer!!  ENJOY!Truly,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Karmenp.s.  Talia... I am not sure if I just recognized you from Dancer's Edge, or if we were indeed in the same dance class.  If we were in the same class.... you know that class that I was definitely to old for but Miss Heather let me in anyways.......  ya that one, well I am a bit embarrassed lol.  I hope you find my photography skills far more superior than my dance ones =)   All the best in your first year out of high school!!

sunshine & mosquitos {a sneakpeek} | Edmonton & Red Deer Portrait Photographers

It had been a week of cold rainy days; and I am not talking damp wet, I am talking to the bone, pouring rain.  But, as I was driving to Lacombe I watched the clouds start to break up and reveal one of the nicest evenings this month.  Yup, we were given a few short hours of loveliness for the shoot, and then everything promptly returned to being miserable =)  But, man, did we ever enjoy those few hours!  It was so great to work with Jennifer on her grad portraits, not only is she obviously drop-dead gorgeous but she is the sweetest thing you will ever meet.  Even the mosquitoes thought she was delicious, there were swarms of them, they must have come from all over Central Alberta!  The really must have, I have no idea how else there could have possibly been so many....  But anyways, the mosquitos loved Jennifer, we loved Jennifer and the camera loved Jennifer =)  And Jenn, I hope you LOVE your sneakpeek!!Truly,Karmen
