Jared Aitken headshots, Feb. 2016

Making the most of my lack of a studio, I think they turned out pretty nicely!

Best of 2015 / Happy (slightly belated) New Year!

2015 held the last leg of my photojournalism education and the first September since pre-preschool where I didn’t go back to school. Looking through my drive to find my top 10 made it clear to me that I need to find my own motivation when external motivation doesn’t exist. I did next to no personal shooting in 2015, despite how much I love to make images! How ridiculous! Sometimes we just need a reminder of the things we love, even when they’re staring us in the face. Here’s to more (and better) shooting in 2016!

I’ve passed this building so many times wanting to shoot at it and I FINALLY DID! My boyfriend David makes an excellent model and shooting partner 

PS, can you believe these were taken in December in Canada??

(03/10/2015) Poetry in downtown Calgary, October 3, 2015 - it was only 1* outside! Alberta weather is crazy!

(08/10/2015) Standing on tables is not EXACTLY restaurant etiquette but Poetry was apparently feeling too excited about being a big sister to stay in her chair that day // My apologies for the surplus of Alberta/dad/sister photos, I hadn’t seen this side of my family in 2 years and I couldn’t help but shoot in excess!
