This image of Alex was captured in late April 2011, just days before she placed second in her category at the WBFF Quebec competition. Alex is one of the trainers at Get Ready Girls. Shot in studio – Winnipeg.

During the weekend of March 25-27, 2011 I had the opportunity to shoot (four) Fashion Shows and the Miss World of Wheels Pageant at the Winnipeg Convention Centre. The annual Winnipeg WORLD OF WHEELS car show is one of North America’s premier “Hot Rod” events. Typically, I prefer to shoot such events with an assistant, but on this busy weekend … I was on my own. Fortunately, the Fashion Show and Pageant organizers had everything under control and this marked another successful year for team from RHS PROMOTIONS. I had the chance to meet some interesting people… and captured some nice images as well. You can see most of these images on my FaceBook page. If you LIKE it, then LIKE my page !! Thanks !!

This is a sneak peek from today’s shoot with fitness competitor Holly. She placed FIRST in Women’s Figure at the 2011 MABBA Novice Championships that were held in Winnipeg on March 19, 2011. For some gratuitous reason, I was so happy to learn that Holly enjoys McDonald’s fast food !!!

Grace and I were playing with an “awkward” pose …. We couldn’t get it looking right … so abandoned the idea. But not before capturing this ONE off. I’m glad we got THE one !!!! Shot in Studio (Winnipeg), January 22, 2011.

This “experiment” with plastic wrap had been planned for a photoshoot last year, but scheduling issues kept pushing the shoot to a later date. When we were finished shooting, model GRACE made the remark, “That’s a WRAP!!!”…. Ha Ha… she thinks she is so funny…. but I think I’m just jealous that I didn’t say it first !! This session was shot in Studio (Winnipeg), January 22, 2011.

This Studio Photoshoot with Melody (on December 5, 2010) was the first time I got to work with her…. and hopefully not the last. She was very easy-going and professional. This was also another shoot featuring the wonderful make-up artistry by Laura. SOME people were complaining that the Studio was too cold… but aren’t we all Canadians ?? Great people, great work, great session !!

Here’s an example of the beautiful bodypaint artistry by SamanthaWpg during the Central Canada ComicCon 2010 at the Winnipeg Convention Centre. Samantha painted model Grace at the Convention. This image was shot in Studio after the October 30, 2010 day of the show. This is just a small peek at the intricate artistry by Samantha. See more of her work on her website (http://www.samanthawpg.webs.com).

This image was captured on November 7, 2010 for my ongoing IN OUR LIFETIME Portrait Series. The sisters photographed here were so easy-going and natural on set, that the photoshoot didn’t take much time at all. I am so pleased with the results of this portrait and am thankful to the sisters for allowing me to share their message with this project.

Glamour shoot with model Grace in Studio (Winnipeg) October 16, 2010. Make-up by Laura. When Grace pulled out the rabbit-fur jacket and suggested shooting a few “with the hood on”, I did not foresee the results we captured. Credit to Grace and the wonderful make-up artistry by Laura.

Here’s a sneak peek from an upcoming set … Shot in studio October 11, 2010. Shots from this set were “too hot for Facebook” … LOL
