Calgary International Awarded Calgary Photographer Teaches the Magic of Lighting Posing and Composition | Shelley Vandervelde | SVP Photography

February was a crazy month...teaching at Canon's Image Square in Downtown Calgary where I also had a two week exhibit of my Portraiture was only part of the fun.  It was pure coincidence that I had just been awarded Portrait Photographer of the Year for Alberta. Because judging is anonymous and these images were going on to the National Competition, I did not post the winners, but those who attended my exhibit were able to see some of them on display. Below are the four entries that led to that award.  Thank YOU to all my clients who allow me to create their portraits and continue to hone my craft!  

Outdoor Portrait Day

I'm really enjoying my outdoor portraiture. Melanie and Stephane are expecting and enjoying their last few months with lots of time together. They commemorated their time as a couple and the start of their family with lifestyle portraits before a weekend get away in Banff. I hope they make time for date nights after the little one arrives. A special couple.

SVP's Outdoor Studio

A few of shots on the ridge behind the studio. I was hoping for more outdoor sessions before the weather turned cold.
