This week Challenge from EWPP was Treasure.

So many ladies posted photographs of things they treasure, but for me this verse from the Bible was keep popping up in my head. I do have a few “treasure” but really dont want my heart be in those, I want my heart be with God. So this verse is a perfect reminder about Treasure. Enjoy.

Ps: The photograph was taken of our very old family Bible. It is about 100 years old and we received it from a friend as our wedding gift. So that could also be a Treasure.

Second week challenge from P31 was “Clouds” We haven’t had cloud in the sky for a while now, so I had to improvise. I’m actually glad about that as I’m not so much into clouds as I was 10 years ago.

So this is what I come up with:

 ps: today we had a bunch of clouds but I needed to stick to my original idea, and I’m glad I did!

So this year I started a few photo challenges with different groups. I thought it will help me be motivated and to better myself as a photographer as I have to come up with different ideas every week.

On of my personal resolution is to take a photo with my cellphone of my daughter every day. I’m posting those photos on my personal facebook page, but in the end of the year Ill make a nice collage out of it for the blog.

The other challenge is with EWP (Edmonton Woman Photographers) We have different topic every week that we post in our group and see how everyone did. Ill also post those here.

And a by-weekly challenge is with P31 (Pursuit 31) Those are Christian Woman Photographer all over from North Amerika. We are chellenging eachother every second week with different topics to photograph. Also Ill post those pictures here as well.

So my first one was the same from both group and the EWP started a week late, so rigth now I only have one photograph. The topic was “Resolution”. I don’t usually make any resolutions in the new years as I have been failed to keep them after January. But this one Ill have to try and keep working on all year. I just simply want to become an Excellent Wife. It is hard as we only been married 3 years, but this year Ill try my best. I also want to come closer to God and I know when I do that, Ill become the Excellent Wife. So all those titles are very significant in this process. I don’t promis to read all those books that are in this picture, but they are all titles that speaks on my subject.

 I’m working on this week project, so stay tooned for more.

Happy New Year to everyone! I know I haven’t been blogging lately, but I got so busy with many things, you know how it is? Anyhow, I will be posting at least one blog a week until I posted all the photoshoots from 2011. Ill start on some well deserved weddings and babies that haven’t been blogged about. Ill be staring on this project next week, until then please take a look at my new model.

Sam. He was born just 2 days before Christmas and I got to play with him a few days ago.

I practice safety newborn photography. So I would like you to see how this pose is done. It is all composite I would never leave a baby holding his/her head without support. I love this pose but it takes practice and a very clam sleepy baby to do it. Please do not attempt to do this pose if you are not a professional and the baby is awake!!!

Cory and Trish got married on a beautiful autumn day just over a week ago. It was a hot occasion - and not only because of the sun. The whole wedding party, the family and most of the guests have a Hot Rod. I just love those cars! Even thougth they look awesome I think Trish totally outshines every single one of them. You ware a beautiful Bride, girl!

Enjoy some of the images from the wedding. More to come soon!

With love,

Helga

So before I begin, let me just tell you that these two are as hot as their hot rods! I met Cory and Trish earlier this year when they signed the contract for me to be their wedding photographer. I connected with both of them right from the start and I just kneww the wedding would be a fun, fun day. But before we talk about the wedding let me just share with you some of their engagment photos. They both are HOT RODers so we had to incorporate their beautiful car into the photosession. It was fun to work with this hot couple on the rooftop, as I enjoyed every minute of it! I hope you guys will enjoy the photos just as much as I did. A sneak peek of the wedding pictures is coming in just a few days!

It’s a pleasure to know you both! Check back soon for more pics.

I strongly beleive in continous education, to better yourself and to be able to provide your clients with fresh ideas and looks. So today I had the privelage to attend a workshop and meet with the amazing Ana Brandt from TAoPan. With 10 other photographers, we plunged right into shooting a pregnant model and a newborn baby boy with his big sister. I had such a great time, listening to Ana’s stories and strategies, I think I learned a few tips on how to take my business to a new level. I really thougtht I would not have time to blog these photos, since I have a big wedding to prepare for tomorrow, but after I downloaded my memory card I realized that these images are AWESOME,  I just had to touch them up and post!

Enjoy!

Thank you so much Ana for being so nice, personable and friendly with us. Even though you had a rough start getting through customs, I hope you enjoy your time in “cold” Edmonton. I wish everyone a wonderful time on Saturday, and thanks to Laurie for opening up your home for the workshop.

Love, Helga.
