Portraits for Work

I had the pleasure of doing some natural light headshots for Midas Gold this week. They've got a really great new web design coming online shortly and they needed to update their corporate headshots. Thanks to Liz for giving me the opportunity and trusting me with this important project.

I had a great time getting in behind the scenes at Wednesday night's Abbotsford Heat game. I got the unique opportunity to be a sports photographer for the night. I have to say, I loved being able to go anywhere. The 'no access' areas suddenly become my domain as I flashed my 'media' sticker. It felt good. Wow, is this a different world from any other type of photography I've done. The lighting is fairly good and consistent, the action is fast, and the to do list long. Thanks to Amy Williams for the invite and opportunity to stretch my photography in a new direction. Next time, bigger lens! I shot the whole game with my 24-70m which I found a bit frustrating. I was waiting for the boys to slam into the boards mostly, action in centre ice or from the cat walk was just too far away to look cool. Amy's shots with her gazillion $ Nikon 300m were such so much more 'sporty'. If only I had a lens for EVERY occasion. Ha! Much thanks for a new adventure Amy. Your passion is contagious.
When I was looking back through my year of photos I was amazed by the number of headshots I had taken. Apparently I only photograph beautiful people - ha! It has been great fun getting to meet these local business owners, musicians, lawyers and non-profit managers.
I enjoy headshots that incorporate natural backgrounds and natural light while using texture and color to compliment the person I'm photographing and give them a sense of place. If you're looking to update your head shot for your business, or social media profile, drop me a line and I'll send you my 2012 price sheet. - Brooke
Having fun doing some creative late night editing. These GORGEOUS gals were an absolute joy to photograph. I look forward to seeing which images are your favorites, these are a few of mine. Cheers!
