Calgary Grad Photographer

Wow, she chose an SVP portrait for her 16th birthday, what a honour to photograph her. You should see all the other photos - absolutuely stunning! I'm sure Elmone will make her presence known as she follows her heart and blesses the world with her charm.

Brooke - Fourteen

Brooke had her thirteen year photos done last year. I think they are somewhere back in the blog archives. Couldn't pass up the chance to photograph her again! Brooke is creative, musical and an honour student. Nice to have it all, isn't it?

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.

Downtown with Brandon, Grad Photographer, Shelley Vandervelde, SVP Photography

Fun shoot in the city. Brandon was so together, dispite all the stares from the passer bys. I was on my back on the ground trying to get the right backgrounds.

Brandon is just 14! I know, he looks 20, he must be over 6 ft already. Plays soccer but I'm thinking basketball. And if he gets into modeling, he would be runway material. Very relaxed in front of the camera and looking forward to more sessions to complete the story of his grade nine grad.

Miranda

Reading is Miranda's passion. She and Tamera go back to kindergarten. Now that is a true friend! I'm sure they have been through lots together and will be there for each other in this new life of adulthood. With friends like that one doesn't need best wishes but I will make them anyway. The last images to post are those of the group. By then we were all tired and I hope the girls will be back for an outdoor session once the weather warms up so we can capture their relationships on camera.

Laura

Laurel loves sketching and photography so we did a little bit of tech talk during her session! Laurel's quiet nature comes through in her images but a sense of complexity is also very strong. She may have a tough time deciding which direction to follow in life as I sense she will have many options and interests. You go girl!

Andrea

Andrea and Tamera have been friends since grade nine so it was great she could come for the fashion photo session Tamera set up. Andrea loves style and dresses and moves like a model with ease in front of the lens. My poodle, Mozart was thrilled to pose with her as he tries to be in all the portraits taken at the studio. All the best Andrea!

Tamera

Tamera and her friends had their make up done at the studio for their fashion photo session to commemorate graduation and the start of a new life. Tamera loves drama, music and art. She has a flare all her own and I wish her all the best in her future endeavors! Keep watch - more to follow.
