Calgary Child Photgrapher | Birthday Portraits | SVP Photography | Shelley Vandervelde

Tyler turned 4 this week and Corina his little sister turned 2.  They came for portraits to celebrate these years when they are growing and changing so much every week.  One day they will show their grandchildren portraits from these sessions and say...That's me, when I was about your age. Click the links below to see their latest photography sessions.

Tyler is Four

Corina is Two

Willow - Eleven

Willow is the youngest in the family! Yes she is musical too. In two short years we will be doing her thirteen year session. But I couldn't wait that long to photograph her! The princess dress wouldn't fit her then.

Aurora - Thirteen

More shots from Aurora's teen session!

Thirteen

Pamela has four girls. I have photographed each of them during their 13th year. Aurora is the third to turn 13. She is extremely musical with a lovely voice, but she is also extremely bright. I look forward to seeing her share her gifts with the world - she already has so much to offer. I hope I have caputred just a bit of who she is at this wonderful time of self discovery.

Craftsman of Photographic Arts

Wow, received my plaque and medallion for my Craftsman of Photographic Arts at the National Convention and Print Competition of the Professional Photographers of Canada. Three of my four prints blogged earlier were accepted into the print salon with a Merit distinction! My best results to date. Can't wait for next year!

Thanks Darwin for taking a few shots during the Awards Banquet and thanks Linda for escorting me to the podium and making sure I didn't trip!

But mostly thank you to my fantastic models, especially Aurora from Childhood Wonder, you are so natural in front of the lens. And most importantly, thank you PPOC and all the wonderful mentors I have met. I have learned so much from everyone of you!

Professional Photographers of Canada National Print Competition

2009 entries are on their way! I will post the results following the Convention where I will be inspired by International Photographers.

Provincial Print Competition

These were the final four that were submitted to the Professional Photographers of Canada - Alberta Print Competition. The names selected were I'm Not Pouting, Childhood Wonder, Little Princess and Baby Blues. Looking forward to seeing which ones will be selected for exhibition.
