Garrett Clark- Vernon BC

Here is possibly one of the most fun shoots I've ever done. Ladies and Gents, if you're not familiar this dashing lad is Garrett Clark, a local comedian (with an Australian accent to boot!) you can read his whole biography HERE.

So what made the shoot so fun? Garrett shaved in an alley...using a women's disposable leg razor. He'd been growing it for about a month and it was about time for him to update his head shots, so why not shave than in an alley and document the whole thing??? I brought along 2 old coke bottles filled with hot water, we used my good salad bowl as a basin and an old mirror from a vanity I had when I was a teen. Oh and I should mention that Garrett is HILARIOUS...I think I giggled through the whole shoot. It helps that I like Aussies too ;)

Passerbys stopped and stared quite a bit. Apparently an entire office stopped what they were doing and watched us. What is this weird?

An hour later, a bit of rain, some razor burn and 2 Pilsners later we'd completed a truly fun and amazing shoot! And Garrett walked away with a wicked 'stashe. Check out these pics of him PRE shave. Please take notice that his pants are in fact, undone.



SHAVING pics to come soon!!!!

Kyle Perison's Trash the Dress Workshop

Last month, I attended Kyle Perison's Trash the Dress workshop at the Wedding Cafe in Kelowna. I learned a ton from Kyle...particularly how he edits his photos. Something I'm really fascinated by. I'm a crappy editor. Like, really bad. So good job Kyle :) It was also really nice to meet so many great photographers in the Okanagan! And I met my purse twin. Lola in Red and Lola in Black had a very nice playdate (Shoutout to Lyne Inhoff ;))

I don't have enough good things to say about the workshop. I think Kyle did a great job keeping 13 ladies (and one dude) on task, had lots of interesting things to say, and the food at theWedding Cafe was great!

FYI, for you single guys out there, you want to meet women? Become a photographer and then have a workshop. You'll have your pick of the ladies. No joke.

Here is the lovely Carolyn Carson of Carolyn Caron Photography modelling for us. We also became best friends. Do you see her shoes??? Pure heaven.

Kyle showin' us the magic.

Does this work? Still not sure. But there is something about it I like. I really wish for these ones I could have been a foot taller.

How great is she? And fearless too btw. I mean, she climbed into a tree wearing those shoes and that dress at one point.

I love her legs in this photo

This one is hard to explain. Essentially Kyle wanted her to FLY off the end of the slide. So he demonstrated. I'm pretty sure that's Carolyn sayin "are you crazy????" But hey, she's fearless. So she did what he said. And she did it beautifully.

*LOVE*

Awww she's so pretty :) She's going to be one darn beautiful bride this weekend!

Nuff said.

And my favourite one. Seriously great I tells ya! Thanks to Kyle for letting me play with his flash

Many thanks to the wonderful and talented Kyle Perison for all his hard work that he put into his Trash the Dress workshop!
