the goddess movement : abbotsford photographers

browns — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 02:12:05 +0000

We were excited to be invited to photograph the beautiful and talented instructors at The Goddess Movement in Abbotsford and Chilliwack. We are in the process of working on their headshots and will post a few samples later but in the meantime, here’s a dramatic, creative photograph that Jason did with very simple lighting.

For those of you who are interested in lighting, there’s a spot on the wall to create the red circle plus an SB-800 on either side of the model to create rim lighting. If you know how to do it, it’s very simple and creates impressive results. Here’s the photograph and below is a lighting diagram created on a friend’s iPhone with the strobox app …

izabella + sydney : abbotsford kids portrait photographers

browns — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 23:02:03 +0000

Photographing Izabella and Sydney was a bit of a flashback as Izabella looks exactly like her mom, Glenda, did when she was a little girl. I went to elementary school with Glenda and her siblings at Jackson Elementary. The girls were both adorable and Jason took some beautiful photographs of them for their Imagine Kids session using the natural window light at Trethewey House …

green lake triptych : cariboo fine art photographer

browns — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 03:46:50 +0000

We are about to sell our home which proved to be motivation to print the piece of art we’ve been meaning to print for months. This is a photo Jason took in July 2009 at my parent’s cabin at Green Lake. We go there for a week or two each summer to unplug from our life and recharge our souls. Now I can flop down on the couch for a few seconds and recharge just by looking at the photograph. Ahhhhh.

russian pairs figure skating + japanese speed skaters : vancouver 2010 olympics

browns — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 05:59:38 +0000

The top Russian pairs figure skaters and Japanese speed skaters have been using the ice at the Abbotsford Rec Centre to practice and members of the public are allowed to watch for free. Being fans of free Olympic entertainment, we took the kids and the camera.

The skaters were amazing! I’ve skated the same ice as these Olympians and it seemed like they shrunk the rink for them. The distance it takes me a minute to wobble around they could glide over in seconds. I found someone to confirm that the rink is indeed Olympic regulation size.
