2018 Spring Portrait Blitz

We held our annual Spring Portrait Blitz in and around the new Norquest building on 108 Street and 102 Avenue this year. The building looks fantastic! The area around the building is also full of nice little spots that allowed us to capture some great images of the groups that took part in the event.

The day ended up being quite warm and sunny. Clouds were not to be seen at all. On a regular day, we're all for that. The trouble is that it makes things a little tricky for photography - people with squinting eyes don't seem to make the greatest photos - so we were a little bummed that it was so clear, but we still managed to work it out. We always love the challenge of getting the best photos possible in ANY situation.

We tried to keep the gallery to around 30 total photos to share, but there were too many that we loved. Some are just too fun to not share... so we did 2 galleries. Here is a sampling from the many sessions we held on the day. 

Spring Portrait Blitz - Team Christina

Christina found us because of her brother Scott, who also participated in this Blitz. Scott and his wife Biddy have been at several of our sessions actually, and we were happy to meet more of the family.

One of the fun things about this session was trying to get the older daughter so smile. She was playing shy for a lot of the session but we were able to get her to start enjoying the idea of having her photo taken. The younger daughter seemed to be a natural in front of the camera though!

Here are some of the photos of the family.

Spring Portrait Blitz - Team Marika

Dave has known Marika for many years. We took photos of her while she was pregnant with their little guy and then we followed that up with a family session with Marika, her husband Stephen, and their then 6 month old baby.

Their session consisted of bubble blowing, coaxing their little dude with chocolate almond milk, and of course lots of laughs. We had a fun time with them once again.

Here are a few photos from their Blitz session.

Spring Portrait Blitz - Team Jen

Jen is the President and CEO of Junior Achievement for Northern Alberta. We have worked with JA for several years now. We were very happy it finally worked out that Jen, her husband, and their daughter could finally participate in one of our Blitz days.

Jen is a very busy woman. Aside from her job as CEO, she is an avid runner and participates in triathlons on a regular basis. She was also recently honoured as a Woman of Vision by Global News Edmonton.

Bubbles were a plenty during our session and their little one had a field day (and did NOT want to give up her bubble wand!). She was having so much fun running around so we just snapped some photos of her playing. Love the smiling face she always had!

Looking forward to working with Jen and her family again!

Spring Portrait Blitz - Team Nora

We have worked with Nora and her family more times than we can count now. We always look forward to seeing them and seeing how big their little ones have grown.

Our first session with them was way back when their youngest one was still waiting to join the world. Nora was 8 months pregnant at the time and it was deja vu all over again on this shoot. Nora was oh so close to the due date of their 3rd child (which arrived a few weeks ago! Another little boy!!).

We are very happy for the family and can’t wait to fit all 5 of them into their next session!
