Does your hockey league need a free photo shoot? https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2023/9/does-your-hockey-league-need-a-photo-shoot A free shoot for your league?  I've got space for a couple more hockey leagues in my schedule.  Complete the form to nominate your league for a free photo shoot.

I will design a variety of custom mementos with your league's logo and colours, and your league will get a free shoot. 

Community Sports has a remarkable ability to bring people together. Fans form communities and friendships based on their shared love for a team or sport. Sports mementos serve as a way to commemorate the camaraderie that sports can foster. When people look at these mementos (most especially years later), they're reminded of the friends, family, and fellow fans who have been a part of their childhood.

*there are limited spots available but I will respond to every nomination

Enjoying the last sights of green as the season comes to an end https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2023/8/enjoying-the-last-sights-of-green-as-the-season-comes-to-an-end This is a beautiful spot in the studio to take a break from my computer and enjoy the last sight of green on the trees before Autumn takes over and we have to say goodbye to summer.

Usually I look forward to fall and crave the cooler air and colours but this year it's taking a little bit longer to accept that summer will soon be over.

I must whip myself up some pumpkin coffee creamer which will no doubt help spark the hygge fall feeling.

Are you ready for fall?  What is your favourite Autumn treat?

Northern Diversity: Beauty and Wellness https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2023/6/northern-diversity-beauty-and-wellness I was preparing a cup of tea this morning and decided to a little impromptu photo shoot for my friends over at Northern Diversity.

When I heard about them I was immediately in love!  A clean and sustainable beauty and wellness box that supports diverse Canadian businesses.  BIPOC brands too!

It's sometimes difficult to find Canadian companies so when I heard about them I followed them right away!

Oh, and my morning tea was delicious, all natural and ethical

✨Soon the shoes come off so you can dance the night away, the dress gets stepped on, sequins come off, your makeup runs due to teary goodbyes and your hair is tousled from the fun you're having while you say "farewell" to high school and "hello next steps"!⁠

Into the dugout we go! https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2023/5/into-the-dugout-we-go The rain started to pour and the thunder was booming. There's no complaining about the rain when we need it so badly!!

We set-up inside the dugout and continued recording baseball memories - the players were not phased and made great models!

We missed some of the U9s today https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2023/4/we-missed-some-of-the-u9s-today A lot of the U9s were not able to make it to photo day so we weren't able to get a team photo but that's okay because those who missed today can come to the next photo day on Wednesday 3 May, and as an extra special alternative to the Memory Mate, we can design you a Roster Mate.

Like the Memory Mate, your individual player still gets the hero image, and their team members are presented on this 8x10 size with them. 

As a bonus the team members' names are listed along with their jersey numbers.

This is the option for when not all team members were able to make it to photo night but you still want to remember these faces for years to come.

This Roster Mate has been added to The Rock's online ordering options.

* This Roster Mate can be customized to fit up to 12 players. If you have more players we will need to size up the print from an 8x10.

A set of mugs is better than one https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2023/3/a-set-of-mugs-is-better-than-one I laughed when I received a message about how this new mug had become the most popular in the house, so popular she needed to order more.⁠
⁠
When you're a sports mom the house isn't complete without a full set of sport mugs for your morning coffee, your evening hot chocolate, Friday's hot toddy or your afternoon tea.

*Its a large 15oz mug that can hold the most satisfying amount of coffee  - also available in 11oz for when less is more

Keep your coach caffeinated https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2023/3/keep-your-coach-caffeinated A coach's commitment is a serious, long-term promise to dedicate oneself to the task of training and showing athletes they have the potential to win.  They are a role model that sets the standard for acceptable sportsmanship

This coffee mug is a perfect coach gift for the early mornings, late evenings and hours of prep for running effective practices to help build players up to their full potential.

Framed sports photography from your studio shoot https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2023/3/framed-sports-photography-from-your-studio-shoot Sports photography is fun in the studio because we do several different poses and capture different expressions.  This U9 player was a dream for the camera, much to his mother's surprise.

After your studio session you will get a digital proofing gallery to choose your favourite images.  It can be hard to narrow them down to just one and that's when I recommend this frame that presents 9 of your favourite images.

If you're interested in booking a shoot or just talking about what that would look like feel free to contact me.

Westlock Volleyball Club 15U Boys https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2022/4/westlock-volleyball-club-15u-boys It was great fun photographing WVC's 15U boys last night!  They definitely brought the energy and wanted to pull all kinds of poses for the camera.  When it came to striking their volleyball pose they all did great and they took direction much better than I expected.  Here are some samples from the night.  Today is the deadline for getting your orders in.  There is no charge for shipping but late orders will be subject to an additional $15.  Click here for a link to the order form.

Harvest Hill at Elbow Tree Cottage https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2021/9/harvest-hill-at-elbow-tree-cottage A short walk along the edge of the forest from Elbow Tree Cottage and you're at Harvest Hill. The harvest changes from year to year so you may see canola, oats or wheat. Depending on the time of year the harvest may have already been removed or maybe there will be snow. Whatever covers Harvest Hill it's a beautiful vantage point to feature the Alberta Sky in your photos.

A quick staycation https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2021/7/a-quick-staycation I'm on vacation - just a short three-day break from the studio to welcome company.  Visitors is a wonderful reason to take a break - and to clean baseboards L*  When I'm making up beds I'm happy.  One of my favourite indoor chores is laundry - disappearing piles of dirty laundry and stacking shelves with folded linens is very satisfying.

I love having a good reason to schedule a break.  If you haven't made time for a break recently, I hope you can soon.

It's time to celebrate cousins! https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2021/7/its-time-to-celebrate-cousins I have a memory that feels like a hug every time I recall it.  The house is full of people, two large pots of tomato sauce are simmering on the stove each being looked over by a different person, 🍝 wine is being poured 🍷, there is a good natured argument about how the bread should be cut πŸ₯–, I hear the sound of silverware clinking and lots of talking and laughing.  I'm not sure if it's the smells, the sounds or the feelings that make this memory strong but it is a very strong memory indeed and I cherish it.  βœ¨ Happy National Cousin's Day⁠

Five end of season coach gifts https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2021/7/the-best-end-of-season-coach-gifts Without coaches and volunteers growing up with team sports wouldn't be possible.  Give me a loud "HECK YEAH!" if team sports made up a big part of you growing up.  Is it the end of your league's season and you want to be sure your coach knows how much you appreciate them volunteering their early mornings, late evenings and weekend hours to your team and league?  Here's a list of 5 coach presents to gift to your coach at the end of your sports season...

Mugs.

I'd bet your coach was going through the brew to stay caffeinated and alert all the while they were coaching your team.  Thank them with a mug that will remind them of the team they gave their time to guide you through another season.

Volunteering their early mornings, late evenings and weekend hours to your team.  Say "thank you" and write a little message on this framed signing board to present to your coach.  There will be no doubt they remember the faces that go along with the notes.

Does your coach collect trader cards?  Give your coach a holder they can slip into their binder with all of the trader cards for the team.

On photo day have your coach pose for their photo too - have their image put onto a magazine cover and customize the headings to suit them.

+ Team says "Thank you coach!"

+ Can you think of a heading that would work for your coach?

Behind the scenes at Legal Minor Ball's photo shoot https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2021/6/behind-the-scenes-at-legal-minor-balls-photo-shoot Do you remember playing ball when you were a kid?  The support of your family, getting to spend time with your friends and the encouragement from your coach πŸ˜Š  It was a WINDY day at the photo shoot so Aunties and coaches jumped in as "hair and makeup" to ensure the players looked their best for their annual photo.  Mind you, a bit of wind in the hair adds a little action to the shot so it's a win-win.

Thank you to all of the volunteers that make this League a success.

  • If you're wearing a hat, have it match your team colours.
  • Bring your favourite bat
  • Don't forget your glove
  • If you have special shoes, bring them
  • Clean and pack your uniform
  • Put the items you want to bring by the door so you won't forget them 

A little preparation will ensure you are looking the part for your photo shoot and the mementoes will be that much more awesome.

Smiles for mom regardless of their age https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2021/5/smiles-for-mom-regardless-of-their-age This little sport star loved being in front of the camera and was excited to tell all his friends that he had a professional hockey photo shoot.  When I say "Look at mom." I will almost always get a smile.   I can tell you from experience that regardless of age (yes, even teenagers) this is true.  They can't help but smile when they look at mom and it melts mom's hearts in and out of the studio.

Coffee & Bourbon https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2021/4/coffee-bourbon Sundowners Coffee and Bourbon Cocktail Happy hour at Elbow Tree Cottage
It's happy hour at the cottage.  Leftover coffee doesn't usually exist at the cottage but it's Spring which meant my day was full of outdoor chores so the second cup of coffee in my French Press was left to be enjoyed in the evening.  An extra bonus is that I could use a little pick-me-up after schlepping wood and digging in the garden all day.  Sometimes the stars align.

Never let the morning's brew go to be waste...

INGREDIENTS

4 1/2 oz black iced coffee

1 oz bourbon

1/4 to 1/2 oz maple syrup (how sweet do you like it?)

DIRECTIONS

If you don't have leftover coffee brew a pot and let it chill until cold, or dilute your cold-brew concentrate with an equal amount of cold water.  Measure all ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake thoroughly, until chilled and foamy.  Strain into a glass over ice.

If you made this please comment below on your thoughts - will you make it again?  Have you amended it somehow?  How sweet did you like it?

Spring in Alberta https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2021/4/spring-in-alberta Spring is here .... Alberta's version of Spring is here.  Beautiful tone on tone shades of brown and tan broken up by gorgeous evergreens and then a snowstorm that inspires cozy times by the fireplace with hot drinks and fuzzy blankets.  Alberta's version of Spring is okay for me.

Valentine's Day Printable Activity https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2021/2/valentines-day-printable-activity It's basically my job to reminisce.  I think it's important to take joy in moments past and memories that put a smile on your face.  It seems to always be the case that after the first memory is shared many more stories come to the surface and soon everyone is taking part in sharing their take on what happened 'that day' at 'that moment'. 

Here's a printable activity that will have you reminiscing about grade school and may even keep the littles occupied for a bit - download it here.

Regardless of how hard Google, iCloud, Dropbox, etc. work to create a failsafe system, the reality is that no system is ever 100% safe.  While we love the idea of security and permanent preservation that digital files seem to offer, the reality is any platform can crash go out of business, or hike their prices up.  Print your images because there's no way to reclaim them once they're lost.

Gin & Germain https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2020/12/gin-germain It's Friday and I'm celebrating the end of a good week with some Gin & Germain.  I discovered St. Germain when I came across a unique glass measuring tumbler while thrifting with my mom.  Since then I've been playing with different cocktails that include this Elderflower ingredient and it's been a win every time.  I'm not a food blogger or mixologist, but if you're interested in the recipe click the image below.

Late Autumn Neutral Colours https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2020/10/late-autumn-neutral-colours Autumn is a very popular time for photo shoots.  Is it because people are preparing for their Christmas cards or that the colours are gorgeous?  Maybe a bit of both, but there is that time between beautiful orange and yellow foliage and wonderfully covered white landscapes that can be special.  The leaves have all fallen, the air is fresh and aromatic and the landscape is neutral - possibly a bit minimalistic.  This boy rocked his photoshoot and had fun doing it.  He told his mom he really enjoyed it and his mom knows he liked being 'in the spotlight' at his one-on-one photo session.

Inventory time of year https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2020/8/inventory-time-of-year country life in Alberta, Canada I was organizing the cold room and, although I wasn't expecting it, the chore filled me full of anticipation for colder weather. There must be something primal about filling the cold room with the year's harvest that connects me to the natural instinct for preparing to hunker down for winter.  It's getting darker sooner, the mornings are noticeably colder and I've got the urge to collect wood.  Autumn is coming and the yellow bits in the trees make that easy to realize.  I will enjoy these brighter nights for as long as I can.  How will you enjoy your last days of summer?  Share in the comments.

The good times rolled while we shot in three different locations and had two outfit changes that we changed up with accessories

A surprise tool that I need to do what I do https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2020/8/a-surprise-tool-that-i-need-to-do-what-i-do You can probably guess that as a photographer my day-to-day often involves using tools like my Nikon, memory cards and Photoshop to do what I love. πŸ“· What might surprise you is how necessary long quiet walks are to clear my mind so inspiration can enter.  I often come back from a walk with my furbabies with ideas I’m rushing to write down so I don’t forget them.  πŸΆ What do you do and what can’t you do without so you can do it❓

Printing your images have impacts you may not realize https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2020/7/printing-your-images-have-impacts-you-may-not-realize A picture may paint a thousand words, but what story does a blank canvas tell? That’s easy, whatever you choose! I’m much better with my Nikon than paint so I prefer to tell stories through pictures and there is nothing more satisfying than preparing images from your photo shoot for your walls.  I hope you choose to tell the story of your loved ones

Printing is important, one reason is that hard drives fail.  To see other reasons why printing is important, click the image below.

Me behind the scenes https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2020/7/me-behind-the-scenes I was doing a final edit on this image and after I zoomed in to check the details I saw myself in these beautiful green eyes

Look closely and here I am behind the scenes on a hot day summer here at Elbow Tree Cottage photographing individual portraits.  It's a great time of year for light filled summer images.  I took this lovely teenager to three different locations and we played with different accessories each time.  I love taking pictures for this family every year - it's so fun seeing the girls grow into young adults.

Memory Lane - a photography location https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2020/7/memory-lane---a-photography-location Memory Lane - that's the name of this area here at Elbow Tree Cottage.  It's beautiful and I knew when we were first looking at the land that this was going to be a great location for photographs.  I've used Memory Lane for family photography and individuals too. 

I help my clients with what to wear and my client's mom loves how her daughter looks in 'jewel tones'.  In this shoot she is wearing something from the studio.  I love how the dark dress contrasts with the model's skin and trees.

Soon our golden Spring fields are going to turn into sun-shiny-yellow canola!  Canola is many people's favourite when it comes to portraits and I am very much looking forward to use this beautiful background for 2020 photo shoots.

A special price for Minor Ball players https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2020/6/a-special-price-for-minor-ball-players Photo Shoot specialMinor Ball Portrait SpecialPhoto Shoots at Elbow Tree Cottage
Pictured above is the same boy with a missing year in between.

How fast they change! 

I've been photographing the same league for three years and each year it's so entertaining to see the change in the players.  I expect this is less entertaining to the parents as their babies grow into young adults.

This time last year I was photographing ball players and preparing their year's momentos.  Although organized team sports has been cancelled it doesn't mean you can't play catch or get a special photograph of your growing player. 

If you were in organized Minor Ball last year and don't want a gap in years for your photo collection, I've put together a special for you.  You don't have to wear your ball gear, but you can if you'd like.

You will get:

  • An individual portrait photo shoot for your player
  • Shoot location: Elbow Tree Cottage near Busby, Alberta
  • Pre-shoot consult
  • Digital proofing gallery of 5 images
  • Your choice of a 5x7 or 8x10 print (which can be customized to include the year)
  • You can order prints from, what would have been, this year's order form or from Juniper Berry's spring/summer magazine
  • Cannot be combined with other specials or discount cards
  • This Minor Ball deal is valid for shoots scheduled between now and 30 June
  • More than one child?  Contact me for a special rate.

Clearly communicate your brand story https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2020/5/clearly-communicate-your-brand-story Your customers are visual people. It’s said that 93% of consumers admit that visual images are the #1 factor that influences their buying decisions.  This means your imagery needs to work hard to inspire your audience and clearly communicate your brand story.

The difference two years make https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2020/5/the-difference-two-years-make I've been photographing the same league for three years and each year it's so entertaining to see the change in the players βšΎοΈ I expect this is less entertaining for the parents as their babies grow into young adults. I really will miss seeing all of the players this year. Dare I say the mosquitoes wouldn't have been bad either.

How do you lift your spirits? https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2020/5/how-do-you-lift-your-spirits What do you do to lift your spirits?  Whenever I’m having a bad day I want to stay cozy in my bed and maybe binge watch a sitcom...(s). I try to resist and instead I make my way down to the kitchen to begin the ritual of making my morning coffee.  I get my good-morning-snuggles from the puppies and take them for a walk. This, and a video call with someone special, can turn my day right around!  I'm interested to know what you do to lift your spirts - tell me in the comments.

Pictures of home during a pandemic https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2020/5/pictures-of-home-during-a-pandemic You're at home and you're probably getting tired of it.  Tired of being cooped up and of not having any alone time.  Don't let that stop you from capturing this time of your family's story in photographs.  I've never regretted taking too many pictures - only not enough.  As much as it's a challenging time, the images you capture will spark the memory of your children years from now and the stories they will recall with be ones of togetherness.  I am SO looking forward to hearing the stories told by the younger generation in 10 years from now when we ask them to tell a story about this time in our history. 

I don't think we tell each other enough stories and, in my circles, I hope to take steps to fix that.  Bonfire story time here we come!

Seven tips to prepare your family for a photo shoot https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2020/4/Seven-tips-to-prepare-your-family-for-a-photo-shoot 7 tips, family photography,Seven TipsPreparing your family for a photo shoot

There are 7 things I tell parents when preparing for their family photo shoot.  These tips help prepare you and your family so the getting ready, showing up and having fun is stress free.  

The first thing I say to moms who are planning a family photo shoot is ... INCLUDE EVERYONE: Get your family excited about the shoot. Involve them in the discussion of what you will be doing and where you will be doing it. Kids and adults alike want to know what's coming. Let them know they will be featured on the walls like the rock stars you know they are and they will no doubt perform accordingly πŸ‘ 

PREPARE: The more relaxed you are, the more relaxed your family will be so plan your outfits at least one-week in advance and set them aside so you are not fussing with stains on the day of your shoot. If your time before the shoot is rushed and stressful, this mood will be hard to break. Set the tone and be ready with spare time to relax or play with your children before the Session. ✨ 

EAT: Full tummies (or at least not hungry tummies) make for happy kids. Children are more likely to be restless and easily upset when they are hungry. Please bring snacks and drinks to keep them going and remember to avoid anything that will stain their face or get stuck in their teeth.

COMFORT: It's okay if your child wants to bring their favourite toy, blanket or anything that brings them comfort. They can take a break for a snuggle or maybe blankie should be in the picture too? Did you have a blankie when you were a child? Or was it something else?

ENJOY: I don't recommend making appointments immediately after your shoot. You have set this time aside for you all to be together – embrace it and be in the moment.

YOU CAN’T FAIL: There is no right or wrong way to do this. Love your family, hug them, throw your children into the air, tickle each other, enjoy a favourite activity and I will capture the interactions between your family. 

NO PRESSURE:  There is no hard and fast time limit for your session duration so don't worry if it takes time for your children to warm up.

Behind the scenes during a Winter photo shoot at Elbow Tree Cottage https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2020/4/behind-the-scenes-at-elbow-tree-cottage A curious dog, a very long skirt and extremely deep snow!  Here's a picture of behind the scenes before getting this very noble look from both models.  A winter princess with her protective sidekick but there was plenty of silliness going on before pulling this off.

Her mother and I had fun pulling together this inspired outfit of textures and layers and doesn't this German Shepherd look like such a good boy!  He looks as if his eyes are saying "Stay away from my little girl!"

Vintage Linen Memory Cards https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2020/4/vintage-linen-memory-cards I thought it would be good to highlight products/gifts for under $99. While curating a list I quickly realized that almost all items were under $99 - and that there were plenty under $50 too. ✨ I believe it's important to print your images - digital images are not stable - for longevity print your images

These VINTAGE LINEN MEMORY CARDS are an excellent way to enjoy many prints from your session. Some clients like to hang them from a string or fairylights, a wood block holds an image on your side table or desktop.  Each order comes with a customizable box so make it special and add a meaningful quote, name and date, or a personal message.β €

Same girl, three years later https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2020/3/same-girl-three-years-later Can you believe this is the same girl but 3 years later?  ONLY three years and the difference is mind-boggling.  Three years and so many stories, milestones and growing. 

I hope your athlete enjoys many cuddly nights drinking hot chocolate out of their mug before they use them to sip coffee

Savour the cold days that make a hot drink feel extra special.

How quickly they change.

Sports Portraits now for memories later https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2020/3/sports-portraits-now-for-memories-later It's been a pleasure photographing for some Volleyball Alberta Clubs this season.  I think organized sports is a wonderful thing and offers so much to young athletes.  I expect more than just volleyball lessons will learned this season and I have no doubt these experiences will shape a little bit of who these athletes grow to be.  I'm genuinely delighted to be able to help create images that these athletes can look back upon and remember this time in their life.

What do you love to do more than anything else? https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2020/3/What_do_you_love_to_do_more_than_anything_else What do you love to do more than absolutely ANYTHING in the whole wide world? For me, it’s THIS. I’ve been helping people record their moments since 2015, and I wholeheartedly find purpose in helping you preserve your memories.

I think It’s important for you to see the smiles of your loved ones when you walk through your home.  I think it’s special that your children can pull an album off the shelf and travel to their past.  If you want what I want for you, I’m here to help!

The Click Book https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2020/2/the-click-book I thought it may be helpful for you if I collated a list of products/gifts for under $99 and curate them here on the blog and on social.  I quickly realized that as I went through the Investment Magazine that almost all items were under $100 - and plenty under $50 too.

THE CLICK BOOK is awesome for side tables, desktops and also easy to slip into a bag for a work-trip.  The book snaps together with a satisfying magnet click.

Working with other small businesses https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2020/2/working-with-other-small-businesses I love working with other small businesses!  βœ¨ I get excited when they reach their goals and I get a high from helping them.  

My mind works best when working with other businesses, my creativity goes on high-power and ideas flow easily 🧠 

I'm not sure why I find it more difficult to get to that point when I am working on my own stuff πŸ€”

I don't know how the human brain works https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2020/2/i-dont-know-how-the-human-brain-works I really don't know how the human brain works but I woke up this morning with memories flooding to the surface.  Clearly more time has passed than I realized and these memories were from longer ago than it seems. 

It feels like I was there, smelling that air and seeing those things for the first time just a couple years ago but time has moved faster than I can comprehend.  So I sat down to look at old pictures; the images brought back moments I would have forgotten and I was thankful for having them.

One regret: LOTS of pictures but very difficult to find one me.  I don't like being in pictures - I love to take them.  I aim to be better at that because as self conscious as I may be, the memories mean more.

There is one picture below that I remember reluctantly letting someone take and now I am so glad to have it.

Saturday mornings https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2020/2/saturday-mornings During the weekday my breakfast can consist of only coffee.  So I like making Saturday’s breakfast a bit special.  We let the dogs in and I’ll make pancakes, a breakfast casserole or egg sandwiches with freshly baked bread.  The coffee is fresh and then we'll enjoy and veg before going for a walk in the woods with the dogs.  Doing this sets a slow pace for our Saturday.  Tell me: What did you have for breakfast this morning?  Was it a drive-through kinda morning or were you able to take it slow?

I may not be a jack-of-all-trades, but I'm told I’m master-of-one. My photography clients say that I can put people at ease and make anyone comfortable in front of the camera.  β 
⁠
I’ve had parents baffled at pictures of their children saying that it’s not even a true representation of them because they are “never that happy”. At the end of their photo shoots, my clients have been known to say something like “Wow, that wasn’t as nerve-racking as I thought it was going to be.”  β 
⁠
Very thankful for my clients✨⁠

  1. People cooking/baking in the kitchen;
  2. The holiday spread;
  3. One shot of everyone together - it doesn't matter if not everyone is looking and people have funny faces;
  4. The "everyone" above means YOU TOO so set your timer;
  5. A family tradition you do each year.

These pictures will become more and more valuable as time passes and the memories and feelings they will bring flooding back years from now will be priceless.

The Juniper Album https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2019/11/the-juniper-album It's time for Hyyge.  Cozying up on the sofa with loved ones, blankets and hot drinks.  Your children will have to sit nice and close to see the memories recorded on the pages you have in your lap.  

The Juniper Album is a beautiful way to record memories. Your photo session stopped time and you can always travel back when you open the pages of your album. I recommend you customize the cover with the date and it will be a timeless treasure for you or your loved ones to enjoy now and in the future. You can be a legacy in these pages.

Which do you prefer? https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2019/10/which-do-you-prefer I was at the Westlock Spirit Centre taking photos for the Westlock Minor Hockey Warriors and I was told by the young male hockey players that when you pose for hockey pictures a serious face is appropriate.  LOL  When will they learn that a smile is the best way to catch the girls' attention πŸ˜„ He was adamant that I use the one with no smile - which do you prefer?

smirk, smile or serious.

It's harvest time! https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2019/9/its-harvest-time I was so excited to see the farmer arrive today with his equipment and I can't say why.  The oat field is beautiful and he's taking it all down - this means no more photographing clients amongst the golden stalks but still I was filled giddy energy.  Back in the day harvest time was followed by harvest festivals where people celebrated with eating, contests, music and other fun activities.  Could it be that I'm influenced by my farming ancestors?  Or perhaps I'm looking forward to extending our daily walks into the newly accessible field?  As it turns out the field actually still looks beautiful and golden.  Tonight's walk is going to include a new route.

Happy harvesting to all of our local farmers!

School photos that are frame-able https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2019/9/school-photos-that-are-frame-able Mark the 2019 school year with something frame-able βœ¨

Does your child's school photo show their true personalityDoes it make you smile and want to put it on the wall?  Do you look at it and say "That is so her/him!"

If not, let's book them in for a photo shoot. We can talk about their personality, their hobbies, I can help you put together an outfit or two that they are comfortable in and we will make images that, when you look back on them in years to come, will have you remembering their individualism at this age. 

I guarantee that these images will become more and more valuable with time.

My old apron https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2019/9/my-old-apron I grabbed my old apron today and started making meatballs.  As I used my hands to mix the ingredients I looked outside and my mind wandered... πŸ‚ The season is changing and stores are full of autumn décor; you’re probably tempted to buy a new fall inspired apron.  Is the apron you currently have your mother’s or maybe your grandmother’s, which was passed down to you? ✨ Do you have memories of coming in from playing outside with a bruised knee and her wiping your tears with it?  Maybe you hid behind it when company came or she wore it to make your favourite pie?  πŸ₯§ Was it worn to bring you soup when you were sick?  πŸ² Every mended hole and tear tells a story.  Don’t buy a new apron, go to the basement or attic and dig out an old apron and wear it like a hug.  You’ll be reminded of past moments while you make new ones.

Dancing to the music in your head https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2019/8/dancing-to-the-music-in-your-head I had a super cute photo shoot with a 3-year old yesterday and we didn't know she was a dancer until she was in front of the camera.  How children are going to react to being in front of the camera is an unknown and this little girl didn't stop moving.  We're not sure why she chose to move the way she did but there was no stopping her.  Her bottom could be solidly sat on a chair but her hands, and even her head, didn't stop dancing.  When the music in her head became so good, she had to get up and strut her stuff.  Her mom and I couldn't stop laughing at her moves and that only made her more confident in her self.  Is it hard to imagine how your little one would react to the camera?  In my experience they usually surprise you.

The last day of summer is approaching and I'm unapologetically looking forward to cozy sweaters, pulling my boots out of the back of the closet and stacking wood for chilly evenings.  Summer was fun, it was nice not to have to wear three layers of clothing before heading out, it was amazing to have super long days that extended sundowner sessions and, if I’m honest, my legs needed to get a peek of sun!  For those of you wanting to stop summer call me to talk about scheduling your summer session.  Together we will stop summer and it will live forever in the images that capture your sun kissed hair and freckles.

It's about the little things https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2019/8/its-about-the-little-things I think that life is all about the ‘little things’, the time spent, the moments shared and the photographs for proof that it all happened. I've found that, when remising with family and friends, I’m surprised about moments I’d forgotten. This is why I love pictures – they tickle my brain and memories come flooding back. Has that ever happened to you? Suddenly you remember why you wore that outfit and the smell that was in the air and the hug your mother gave you just before the picture was taken. Collect memories, not things.

Hey Moms, organizing a photo shoot can sound confusing - but it doesn't have to be https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2019/8/Hey-Moms-organizing-a-photo-shoot-sound-confusing-but-it-doesnt-have-to-be Family PhotographerFamily Photo ShootsWestlock County Photo Shoots To some, thinking about organizing a photo shoot can be confusing – how do I herd the cats?  That’s why I’m here to give you 7 quick tips on preparing your family.  The first three are below, click the image above for the full seven.

TIP 1: EAT Full tummies make for happy kids. Children are more likely to be restless and easily upset when they’re hungry. Bring snacks and drinks to keep them going and remember to avoid anything that will stain their face or get stuck in their teeth.

TIP 2: COMFORT It’s okay if your child wants to bring their favourite toy, blanket or anything else that brings them comfort. They can take a break for a snuggle or maybe blankie should be in the picture too – don’t we all have fond memories of our favourite blanket or stuffy!

TIP 3: YOU CAN’T FAIL There is no right or wrong way to do this. Love your family, hug them throw your children in the air, tickle each other, enjoy a favourite activity and I will capture your family’s interactions.

It’s starting to sound straightforward right? Tell me, did this help you?

Message me if there’s anything I can help answer for you and click here or the image above for more tips.

Summer is not almost over, not almost over, not almost over.  If you repeat it several times it comes true right?  It's feeling cooler but here is an image taken at Juniper Berry's new location, Elbow Tree Cottage, and it feels like summer.  There's still time to squeeze more summer out of this month and book your photo shoot so you have a record of this summer in your personal timeline.

Today I'm getting ready for white sheet boudoir sessions https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2019/8/today-im-getting-ready-for-a-white-sheet-boudoir-session Simple, sexy, and iconic. This is one of my most favourite and requested sessions.  I'm preparing the studio for upcoming White Sheet Sessions - these are a great way to be seductive and modest all at the same time. It's appealing to most because you're in control of how much you want under the blanket and how much you want peeking out.  Click below to learn more about Juniper Berry boudoir shoots.

Wishing you a happy Cousin's Day! https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2019/7/wishing-you-a-happy-cousins-day It’s Cousins Day!!  Such a coincidence that by the time this month is finished I’ll have had five cousins visit. It’s gonna get crowded but I prefer the word “cozy” and I expect the chaos will be fundamental for the lasting memories we’ll make.  We will be hosting 11 extra people in our two-bedroom house but that’s not my biggest concern – how do I cook for that number of people!  Please share with me your favourite recipe for large groups.

Ice-cream is for bonding https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2019/7/ice-cream-is-for-bonding One of my favourite things to do with my nieces and nephews is making ice-cream.  It's probably one of their favourite too <laugh>

They each have their favourite flavour and without fail they ask for it whenever they're visiting.  It fills me with joy when they say "Auntie ..." and I love being able to give them something they want.  For me, it makes it so much sweeter (no pun intended) when it's homemade and we can do it together

Ice-cream maker $30, moments with my family priceless.

Road Trippin' with someone special https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2019/7/road-tripping-with-someone-special What are you doing today? Today I get to take an 8-9 hour road trip with my sister.  There was no chance I would give up the opportunity to spend one-on-one time with someone so special.  Things I’ve packed for the trip are: my road trip playlist, very large coffee mug that can be refilled at any Tim Horton’s along the way (trying to be green) and a camera to record the funny moments that will eventually turn into memories and stories we will later tell.  Who would you choose to share the car with for a 9-hour road trip?  Let me know in the comments.

Packaging up baseball memories today https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2019/6/packaging-up-baseball-memories-today Sports PhotographyPackaging memories today

Kallan wanted to be sure his baseball pose reflected his favourite position.

This afternoon I'm busy packing up memories of team comradery, sportsmanship, goals reached and lessons learned.  

At first it's a momento to mark a fun event in their childhood years, you're proud and you share with your family.  As time goes on it's a reminder of how they looked and of a time that seems too long ago. Start collecting these sports momentos for your children to enjoy when they're older.  Your children will thank you when they sit down and reminisce about their younger years; old friends, teammates, coaches and what being part of a sports team taught them. Your grandchildren will also enjoy seeing their parents at their own age. It's never too early to start your child's legacy.

  8. Slip one under his pillow - How long will it be until he wakes you up?
  9. When you leave town, leave one on your pillow.

Club Volleyball Photo Shoots are Underway https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2019/3/club-volleyball-photo-shoots-are-underway Volleyball PhotographyVolleyball PhotographySTAVC player, Saint Albert Volleyball Club Club Volleyball photo shoots are underway.  Sports was a big part of growing up for me - grade school basketball, volleyball, badminton, skipping etc, although tennis was something I couldn't get a handle on.  It probably wasn't a good idea to take tennis right after badminton due to the similarity of the racket but the big difference in swing!!  Ouch, my wrist!

This is Phaedra's first year taking part in Club Volleyball with Volleyball Alberta.  She and her U14 team are very much looking forward to the upcoming premier in Calgary and especially excited to be able to travel to British Columbia for Nationals.

Great experiences for this young teenager!

Testimonial https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2019/2/testimonial

I talk about my photo shoots but this time why don’t I have Tracy tell you about her experience instead: ⁠
⁠
“Due to weather I thought this may have been her fastest shoot as a huge thunder storm with a down pour of rain cut our time down but this didn’t phase Heidi at all. She kept on doing portrait shots in the barn as we all took shelter. She made my 10 year old daughter feel like a super model and she didn’t want the night to end.” ⁠
⁠
SO sweet, right? ⁠
⁠
Thank you Tracy. We got some great shots in the barn πŸ˜‰ and I think the best ones were after the rain passed - everything looked especially lush. I loved hearing how the photo shoot left Morgan feeling - big smiles over here!

What to wear https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2019/2/what-to-wear To some, thinking about organizing a photo shoot can be daunting – what would you wear? Below are 3 quick tips on what to wear and you can click the image below to get the full guide.  

TIP 1: Avoid clothes with large logos, words or illustrations.  Typically polka dots and wide stripes should also be avoided.

TIP 2: It’s best to avoid all-black and wearing too much white.

TIP 3: Iron clothes and use a lint roller.  Wrinkles, lint, and animal hair will standout in photographs.

Wearing coordinating (not matching) clothes is nice but what’s most important is that you take a moment to stop time so you can cherish today in images that will make you smile for the rest of your life, and then the smiles keep coming because they will be how you’ll be remembered.

It's not just a trader card, it's a reminder https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2019/1/its-not-just-a-trader-card-it-s-a-reminder At first it's a card your children can trade with friends, you're proud and you give a copy to your family, as time goes on it's a reminder of how they looked and of a time that seems too long ago.  Start collecting these trader cards and other sports momentos for your children to enjoy when they're older; they will thank you when they sit down and reminisce about their younger years, old friends, teammates, coaches and what being part of a sports team taught them.  Their children will also enjoy seeing their parents at their own age.  It's never too early to start your child's legacy.

School Supply Season IS Photo Shoot Season https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2018/8/School-Supply-Season-IS-Photo-Shoot-Season It's August and the summer is coming to an end.  School shopping, hair cuts, and the smell of school supplies is in the air.  Oh how I loved the smell of new school supplies!  I very clearly remember shopping for and organising my school supplies.  Ticking off items on the paper list provided by the school and choosing binder colours that matched the classes - Math was always blueI digress

I had a great time photographing this family who chose August for their annual photo shoot.  I was able to spend individual time with each boy and even captured some special moments with only the parents.  We had great weather and having their images from this shoot meant they didn't need to depend on school photos working out, the images could be more personal and include pets and their home/land as a backdrop.  Additionally, they had plenty of time to order photo products for Christmas gifts and were able to take advantage of the October pre-order Christmas card sale.  As I write this I am beginning to realise why August is such a busy time for photo shoot bookings.

Our model may not admit she wanted mom at her shoot but there is something comforting about having your mom nearby.  I had a fantastic time at this shoot with Morgan and her mom.  Morgan was confident, relaxed and silly in front of the camera and neither was fazed by the rainstorm that had us running for the barn.

Looking natural vs being a natural https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2017/11/Looking-natural-vs-being-a-natural Being natural in front of the camera doesn't always feel natural.  How do you hold your face?  What does my genuine smile look like? What do I do with my hands?  Where do I look?  Does my hair look okay?  I'm behind the camera so I've got the answers for you.  You will be prepped in advance of you shoot and I'll be guiding you throughout your session so you don't need to overthink it.

Location Scouting in St. Albert https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2017/10/location-scouting-in-st-albert I've been back for longer than I can believe but the sound of my boots kicking the leaves is still harmony and I'm taking so many deep breaths I'm getting dizzy.  I hope my appreciation for Autumn and these small pleasures never fade.   

It's a beautiful time of year and I get to go out and look for photogenic spots to photograph your portraits.  Today I'm in St. Albert and there are lots of perks to organising a shoot here; parking, overcrowding can be avoided, access is easy and this little city takes nature seriously.  Capturing the beauty of your smile with Fall as a backdrop won't be a difficult task.

A smile you want to see again and again https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2017/10/A-smile-you-want-to-see-again-and-again You have so many hopes for his future but today he likes to cuddle his cat, his mom can easily make him smile, he can be bribed with ice-cream and it still takes him time to warm up around new people.  Enjoy the moments today has to offer, try to appreciate the special times and collect memories, not things.

Juniper Berry can help you record and keep your memories so you can travel back in time and refer to these smiles anytime you'd like.  Your memories become more special with time and that's why my photo products are made using quality archival paper.

Blinkity Blink Blink https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2017/10/blinkity-blink-blink They say women blink twice as often than men and, in this little lady's case, I'd say it's true.  At one point I switched my shutter speed to 6 frames a second to capture an eyes-open-shot; we had lots of great shots in the end but I'd like to share a collection of blinks from Morgan's photo shoot and a sample of one 'keeper'.  

Despite the blinking Morgan made it into the Juniper Berry Magazine.  If you, or a loved one, made it into the magazine and want a paper copy please let me know.

Giggle Fits https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2017/8/giggle-fits These behind the scenes images brought tears to his mother's eyes.  As a mother you want your children to be happy.  As your photographer, I want your children to be happy too.  Following a shoot I often go through the images and wonder what happened at particular moments to evoke certain looks and smiles.  Did I say something funny?  I don’t consider myself funny so it must have just been silliness.  I do remember this moment though, maybe because it lasted for quite a while, this boy had the giggle-fits and he couldn’t stop laughing.  His giggle was infectious.

Remember when ... https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2017/8/remember-when This family wanted to do something a little different for their annual family photo shoot so we took it to the city.  We scooted, climbed ramps, enjoyed the city skyline and above all else, the family loved each other, shared sideways glances, knowing looks, encouraging smiles and giggles.  It's possible that not everyone wanted to be there but at the end of the day they have a story to tell and images to remind them "about that time...."

You can picture the setting - you are at a family gathering and maybe turning the pages of one of your family photo albums and your sister/brother laughs and says "Remember that time mom brought us to that parkade ..."

"Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory."

Collect memories, not things.

Road Trip! https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2017/8/road-trip I'll call it a road trip even though it's not far from home.  I believe it classifies as a road trip if I’ve got hot coffee and a place to be.  Some days it’s an opportunity to be quiet and alone with my thoughts and other days I turn up the volume and get lost in the beat of a good song.  Today was a beautiful day to drive into the country for a photo shoot; the contrast of the yellow canola against blue sky was too beautiful not to make me grateful for my surroundings.  Enjoy your road trip and take time to admire the beauty around you - tag me on your road trip.

Two Thumbs Up https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2017/8/two-thumbs-up We started Morgan's shoot early because storm clouds were heading in our direction.  Both Morgan and her horse, Orlagh, were ready to get started as the primping started early in the day.  Hair, nails and even Orlagh got some special beauty time.  

We were able to shoot for the must-have shots before it started raining.  Thankfully we made it inside the barn before the skies opened up but Orlagh had to be walked back to the pasture - thanks mom!  Mom was soaked through but didn't let it get her down; she wrapped herself in a blanket and enjoyed the loudest thunderstorm I've heard in years while being protected from the wind and rain inside the beautiful old red barn.  I took advantage of the light entering the barn to capture more images of Morgan and when the storm passed we headed back out to continue the photo shoot in the fresh after-storm air.  The rain and evening light made everything shine a little more brightly.  

It was a pleasure to work with Morgan and her mom on this meaningful photo shoot.  Some images from this shoot can be viewed on the collage page of my website and more will be posted soon.

The first image below was taken after Morgan's photo shoot - she had a great time and so did I.  The second image is of Morgan rocking her photo shoot.

First days, first shared moments https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2017/6/first-days-first-shared-moments His nursery has been ready for him; clothes cleaned and folded, unboxed diapers are to hand and there's a special teddy waiting for a friend.  You carefully drove your bundle of joy from the hospital and now he is safe in the walls of your home.  The first days are when you get to know each other.  What his sounds mean, how often he likes his meals, is he a sleeper or a does he like to stay up and play?  Life is made up of small, seemingly insignificant, moments.

A Model's Life https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2017/2/a-models-life This birthday girl wanted a Juniper Berry Photography session for her special birthday *so flattered

She learned that a photo shoot is more than just looking great.  When she became a Juniper Berry model she got to see what happens behind the scenes.  Light testing, working up a sweat walking her horses in snow and trying to keep warm between shots. 

The cold toes get warm and the red cheeks fade but the images are going to be recorded in a photo album forever.

It was a pleasure hanging out with you and your horses for the afternoon Erin.  Also, let's not forget to thank your mom for being a great assistant and managing the second horse and warm clothes behind the scenes.

I'm thankful to my sister who volunteered her time to assist me on this shoot - we worked hard but it was fun.  Remembering each individual personally while I edited the images had me smiling the whole way through.

7 Reasons Why Winter Shoots Are Great https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2017/1/7-reasons-why-winter-shoots-are-great Sure, winter can be chilly but it's a beautiful time of year to book your portrait session.  Read on for 7 reasons why winter photo shoots are great:

Photo Shoot, Edmonton, Alberta, PortraitWhy a winter photo shoot is great

1.          Frost

Hoar Frost is beautifully picturesque and once you add your gorgeous self we create custom art you will be proud to display in your home.  Hoar Frost is common at the beginning of winter buy can be seen throughout the season.  I hope these whimsical crystals can play a part in your photo shoot.

2.     Grey skies equal beautiful skin

No joke – photographers use light to keep you looking beautiful and in the winter there are so many days with beautiful soft light.  Cloudy days may not seem ideal but they will smooth your skin and help you look your best.

3.       Winter wardrobe

Do you secretly prefer your winter wardrobe to your summer wardrobe?  The boots, jackets, cozy scarves and textured knits!  You are getting excited imagining it, right? I’m thinking of the layering combinations and my heart is racing.  If you need any advice or ideas on what to wear I’m here to help.

4.     Winter sun

As mentioned above, the winter sun is much more flattering than the high, specular sun of summer.  It’s fabulous because it stays relatively low in the sky and nature’s natural filters make it beautiful before it lights you.  If you want to glow, consider a winter shoot.

5.       Sunset & sunrise

It gets better and better.  Sunset and sunrise are the best times of day to shoot.  In summer, this means getting up at silly-o’clock or getting home long after dinnertime but in winter, you will be home in time for dinner and to cosy up with your loved ones on the sofa.

6.      Winter makes you the focus

You’re not just a prop in all of the autumn colours.  The wintery background makes sure the focus in on you and you’re going to look great!  I love burgundy. and navy blue can be beautiful too.  Whatever colours you decide to wear, you will shine.  If you prefer a more muted neutral look - perfect – wear neutral colours and the background will play along.  Winter backdrops are starting to sound amazing, right!?

7.       Snow

Lots of people hope for snow when booking a winter photo shoot.  I’ve got my snow pants, warm boots and down jacket ready to walk through deep snow for you.  I’ll be prepared to record your memories in the snow so you can capture the beauty of this season before it melts.

If you want to discuss your shoot or book to take advantage of the unique opportunities winter provides drop me a line.

On Location https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2016/12/on-location

This morning I was lucky to be shooting in -6 degrees Celsius! Much warmer than the -23 degree weather we've been having!  I wore three layers of clothes but as it turns out, photographing a beautiful girl, two horses and a dog on 80 acres of property kept me warm enough that the second layer was probably unnecessary.  Better safe than sorry.  My sister's homemade muffin made a nice snack and the hot water in my thermos kept me hydrated while we traipsed over the hills.  A fantastic day to take in the scenery and fresh air.  Images from the shoot will shared here - watch this space.

Happy Birthday https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2016/10/happy-birthday I spent my birthday horseback riding with family.  The fact that my allergies flared up and that I was tenting in freezing temperatures didn’t take away from how lucky I felt to be spending time in nature with my family.   The fire and the hugs were warm – not to mention my sister camps in a trailer with heat so the occasional break to help clean up after meals was nice too <wink>  Birthdays - another time of the year that reminds us time is passing and we change with it whether we want to or not.  Collect memories, not things.

Cheeky Smiles https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2016/10/cheeky-smiles They try to look mature, and grown-up boys don’t smile right?  They give it their best shot but mention their girlfriend’s name and they can’t help themselves.  The positive side effect is the lovely blush it puts in their cheeks <place appropriate emoji here>.  It’s even sweeter when they beam in response to questions about their mom.  It’s always special when I’m invited to capture these fleeting moments that nature only lets us enjoy for a short time.

Getting the Shot https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2016/9/getting-the-shot Find the light, find the background, dial in the settings to the camera, coach the girl, fix her hair, coach the girl again and oh, now a friendly dog is nudging the camera away from my face with it’s nose and licking my eye. Thankfully, in this case, the horse was on his best behaviour. Getting the shot isn’t easy or straightforward but it’s always worth it!

Cowboy Hat Pullback https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2016/10/Cowboy-Hat-Pullback I had some spare time between barrel races to make some images. Here is a pullback to show where this image of the cowboy hat was taken.  Photography is not about what the camera sees; it’s adjusting the settings so the camera sees what the photographer wants to record.  To get the most out of your photography experience, hire a trained photographer to record your special memories, not just a fancy camera.

Coffee Please https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2016/10/coffee_please Those of you who know me, or know me through my About Me page, know I love coffee.  I will go so far as saying I need coffee.  My morning coffee not only combats caffeine-withdrawal headaches but it's also my morning ritual and it fills me with joy.  So needless to say, once I arrived back to Alberta, I needed to find some good beans.  While I waited for my morning latte I snapped a picture of Barry familiarizing himself on Edmonton news (being new to the area is still a novelty).  I'm still looking for a great coffee place to source some beans so I’d love to know where you recommend - please let me know in the comments.

Packed for a Journey Across the Ocean https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2016/9/packed-for-a-journey-across-the-ocean I nervously prepared all my photo equipment for shipment across the Ocean for my return to Canada.  A lot of bright yellow ‘Fragile tape’ was used!  I was sad to pack away my favourite lens but had to limit the weight in my backpack for our travels to Hong Kong and Vietnam.  Today I got to open it up and get excited to use it for my new Canadian business.  I hope to shoot you with my 85mm soon <wink>

So Fortunate https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2016/9/so-fortunate I feel so fortunate to have beautiful and loyal clients who not only book me again and again to record important milestones in their life but also recommend me to their friends and family.  I hope to meet more special people like this when I return to Canada and do hope that I will have an opportunity to visit Dubai and schedule some photo sessions when I need to escape the cold for some Dubai beach time.

Your Boudoir https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2016/4/your-boudoir Smokin' HotSmokin' HotA boudoir shoot in the home of this beautiful woman. Her fiancé will be surprised to receive these images on the wedding day.

Merriam-Webster (I trust you’ve heard of him) defines ‘boudoir’ as meaning “A woman’s bedroom or private room for dressing or resting”.  Let’s amp it up ladies!  Our boudoir can be the backdrop for so much more.  I’ve been privileged to be invited into women’s homes to capture intimate and sensual photos of them for their significant others and sometimes a gift for themselves.  None of my clients  have ever regretted their experience.  If the thought has crossed your mind – there is no time like the present.

Lovely Little Workspace https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2016/4/lovely-little-workspace We are still travelling but happy I'm able to fit in some work. We are in the town of Sapa now. I was so excited about taking the night train from Hanoi that I didn't mind sharing the cabin with a cockroach.

Holiday https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2016/4/holiday

Hello from Vietnam! I'm currently enjoying the sights of the Mekong, sounds of Saigon, lights of Hoi An and tomorrow I'll be on the back of a motorcycle seeing the temples in and around Hue - camera in hand of course! If you've been to Vietnam before please let me know your recommendations.

What A Beautiful Gift https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2016/3/what-a-beautiful-gift My last Dubai beach shoot ... until I visit again.  How lucky I feel to have had the opportunity to photograph this gorgeous family who received this Photo Shoot as a gift.  We ran, splashed, discovered sea creatures and danced. These memories were recorded on an overcast beach day with beautiful dreamy light.  Collect memories, not things.

Creating an Image Gallery for Your Small Business https://www.juniperberryphotography.com/blog/2016/3/creating-an-image-gallery-for-your-small-business I get really enthusiastic when I am collaborating with fellow women entrepreneurs.  Yvonne and I had so much fun making images; from her with her tools of the trade, genuine portraits and amusing images relating to blog post themes.  The studio was brimming with clothes, shoes, accessories, props, make-up and laughter.   We danced, jumped, twisted, played peekaboo, pretended to be angry, acted frustrated and even stood very, very still.  I have no doubt that someone as passionate about her gift as Yvonne will be successful and I sincerely wish her the best.  Watch this space and I will let you know when she launches her site!
