This is another of my Grenfell students, but we did the session later on in the week, not on grad day. It ended up being awful weather in town the night of her session. I happened to be heading up to Saskatoon for a wedding later on in the evening, so instead of her travelling back to Grenfell and doing a studio session because of the rain, I headed out a bit earlier than originally planned, and I met her in Regina for her session, since the weather was better there.  Sooo glad we did the session in the city! It got me to Saskatoon a bit earlier than I had hoped, which was good, and we shot at the university, which was beautiful in the evening! Big thanks go to this girl’s dad and boyfriend for meeting up to get the dress into the city!

I loved the shot below, and wanted to fool around with the processing a bit to make it look a little more “artsy”.  The original look is very pretty, but I really like how this alternate version turned out.

As you may have noticed, the blog has been a bit silent lately. I’ve had some really annoying computer issues to deal with, and though I was super busy shooting, I wasn’t able to actually work on anything for almost a week and a half. So that sucked! Everything is basically up and running smoothly again, almost.  So I figured I’d better catch up on blogging. Instead of writing a blurb about each session I shot, I’m lumping everyone together. In here you’ll see students from Qu’appelle, Indian Head, Balgonie, Wolseley, Broadview and Whitewood.  Everyone looked amazing!! Congratulations on your grads.

Blue skies made me smile the day I did this session.  No umbrellas, no porches.  We started in the studio, because I had the shot below in my head.  I don’t think either of us were sure about it when we looked at it in the camera, but I knew the black and white would make it awesome once I got it on the computer.

I’m amazed that this girl got here for her session! She’s from the Kipling area, and as you all know, they’ve been having a rough go of things there with the power being off for days, and the state of emergency last week.  But she somehow made her way down the Oakshela road, and we had a day without rain to shoot an outdoor session!

Beautiful girl. Sweet personality.  Notice the earings?? She made them! They had such pretty beadwork.
