Paris is certainly a unique and beautiful city. So many beautiful details everywhere, always crowded and bustling with activity. (At least, this is how it was in central Paris where I stayed) It was quite a contrast to where I was in Geneva. One thing I learned is that people generally seem to eat dinner late... like after 9pm. Before then they eat and drink at places called "Brasserie". It's like having two dinners in one night. And I totally forgot that entrées are appetizers, unlike North America where we butchered it into meaning the main course. It messed me up on my first food order. hahaha. It was raining for most of the time I was in… Read More

The third stop of our Fashion World Tour was Geneva, Switzerland. Geneva is a beautiful city, and the Lake it sits on was beautiful, with surprisingly crystal clear water. We stayed in central Geneva and it gave the impression of being a wonderfully CLEAN city. I fell in love with Geneva right away. I fell in love even deeper once we reached the "Old Town" section. Hahaha, I find it funny how they consider anything built more recently than 150 years old to be new. What a difference to Edmonton. The Old Town is a beautifully maintained and preserved historic section of the city. And gorgeous it was. I could probably take a two week vacation and… Read More

Finally have completed processing the photos from the second stop on our Fashion tour: Milan, Italy! Central Milan was beautiful with classic cobblestone streets everywhere decorated with old architecture, yet still fully equipped with today's modern amenities. Beautiful! One thing that surprised me though, is how quiet it was at night. At 8pm there was hardly a soul to be seen on the streets! It felt like Edmonton at 3AM. But once business hours hit, WOW was it ever busy! Anyhow, onward to the pictures. Agnieszka looked great amidst all the fall colours, which were well and present.

Our current stop on our World Tour is Paris, France. We got outside kinda late after the sun had fallen, the wind was howling mad, and the air was REALLY cold, and it had been raining on and off for the last couple of days. It was gonna prove to be a difficult shoot!  Especially for Ron who had to hold the lighting equipment in the strong winds.  But we slugged through it and prevailed! =) We actually turned this into an e-shoot slash fashion shoot. Luisa's boyfriend, Michael was there so we worked some pics of the happy couple! For some reason, there are a lot of carousels in Paris. Read More

Our third stop on the World Tour was in Genève, Suisse. We decided to shoot in the Vieille-Ville (Old Town) and it REPEATEDLY took my breath away with almost every corner we rounded. This was historic beauty that Canada just does not have. Nina at the Cathédrale Saint-Pierre A bit of fun in the playground by the Cathédrale The flags of Switzerland and Genève Read More

Got together with Shalyn for a crazy portrait shoot. She was up for anything so I ran it more like a fashion shoot; she had the clothes, the look, and the attitude for it so why the heck not? The motivating factor for the shoot was to actually get some shots of her new tattoo. So we started with that. Then we moved into downtown for some grunge. Read More

I had the fortune of flying into greater Vancouver for a commercial photoshoot with Xhale Beauty Lounge in Surrey. They have a beautiful, top notch setup and specialize in hair, skin, nails, and also offer massage. Definitely check them out if you are looking to get pampered and pretty! The goal of the shoot was to capture the essence of their commercial space, and showcase the skills of their beauty staff. And skilled they are! I've worked with countless hair and makeup professionals, and this place is the real deal! So go visit with confidence! An overall view of the beauty lounge. Read More
