Birthday girl

Tonight was Amanda's 30th birthday. So after going out for a few drinks, the gang all came back to my place to play some Wii and have a few more brews. I was playing around earlier today with the home made ring flash reflector I made, so I still had the studio set up for making some great portraits. I convinced Amanda to let me take her birthday photo, and this was the result. I used two slaved flashes to give accents from the side, and the ring flash reflector as the main.

Happy Birthday

Trade show

Well, now that the trade show is complete, I can settle down and get some rest. I spent the last couple of weeks scrambling to design my booth, get handouts made, do a banner, cut some mats, figure out what materials to bring, etc. Hence my absence from the board. I really enjoyed the Bridal Fantasy show. It is the largest wedding show in Edmonton, and there were plenty of people there. During a lull in the show, I had Chris take some shots of the booth so yo ucould see what it looked like. For a first time exhibitor, I was pleasently surprised. I think the booth looked great, and Chris and Krista did an excellent job helping me out there. So far I have been in touch with a bunch of people and I suspect that I will be able to gauge the success of the show in another month or so once all of the bookings start to peter out for this year. I am looking forward to the next show already!

Blog break

Well, after taking a couple of weeks off from the blog, I guess it is time to get back on track. While I was away, I managed to redo an entire bathroom in my basement from the studs to finished, Make an ice rink in the back yard, meet with several couples about upcoming weddings, and get my trade show booth organized. That last one is not really done yet. The Bridal Fantasy (Edmonton's largest wedding show) is next weekend. I still have so much work to do in prparation, that I am not sure I'll finish in time. I may have to do some things a little different than I originally planned. I am really looking forward to it. This is my first trade show so I will be curious to see how everything goes. Maybe we'll see you there! Booth 183 & 184
