Just a quick note to say that I am looking for a family of at least 4 to participate in a project that I am doing in March. I would prefer that the children be under 10. If you know of anyone who might be interested in participating, please have them contact me. My session fee would be waived($300 value), they would get 20% off any items they purchased and I would gift them one 11×14 print from the session. Please email me at dana@shortandsweetphotography.ca if you are interested.

*** thank you. I am overwhelmed with responses to this casting call. I am confident that I will find someone to fill the spot from those who have already replied.

Today, I’m working on some super duper old images at the request of my mom. Catching up before my busy season begins.  I just wanted to announce a couple of quick things. May is nearly full. Sometimes my online availability can look deceiving as I put up all the days I’m willing to do sessions, but I don’t take sessions on all those days. I cap my monthly sessions at around 6. Currently, I have 5 6 in May already(edited to change to 6!! Book quickly before I close the month!!!). NOW that said, I am going to be in Toronto on the May long weekend and would be willing to take one more session while I’m there. AND, the beginning of May is pretty light in sessions, so I would fit one in there as well. Sooooo, if you were going to book with me in May, you will probably want to do it sooner rather than later.

June is a wonderful time for sessions here–lilacs, crabapple trees and all other beautiful prairie trees should be nicely in bloom. If you would like a spring session, book soon! I have some Edmonton availability in June on the 13th and the 14th if anyone is interested. AND, I am looking for a maternity in June willing to be on call to do some fun stuff with me. This maternity couple has to be around 32-34 weeks in June. For your trouble, I’ll reward you nicely! Email me for details!!

Just a taking care of business post. Where are my Elvis sunglasses now???

Does this image look familiar? It should…That is the fabulous Miss S gracing the cover of Calgary’s Birthing magazine. I have a pile of copies, so if anyone is interested in one and hasn’t been able to find it around town, just let me know!

So, I am adding a new category. A casting call category. There are some things that I am looking for to help me feed some of my creative juices and instead of waiting for them to come to me, I am going to actively search them out. Right now, I am looking for a maternity couple with multiple tattoos. Willing to let me photograph them and also willing to let me use the photographs on my site and in my advertising. So, you’d have to be willing to do that. Keep in mind, that maternity images are best done around the 32 week mark. In return, I will waive my session fee(currently, $200) and give you one 11×14 of my favorite shot of the session. Here’s the thing, in this case, you will have to send me images of your tattoos. I’m going to be picky. Mostly because I have this certain vision in my head and I don’t want to settle for anything less. ha! So, if you know of anyone, please have them contact me. Thanks.

On to my favorite blogs…who to show you? hmmmm…I’m not sure. oh okay…I’ll show you a new discovery. Someone I really love because of the way her photographs feel…she has me wondering if she shoots film. I am having a longing to move onto film which is weird, but the feel of it is so….well, dreamy. I might even begin a personal project that involves film. Anyways, Gemma Booth….lovely, dreamy images with a whole lot of kitsch. Which I love most of all. Happy Friday.
