A group of great photographers from Edmonton and the surrounding area are getting together to raise money for breast cancer research, through an event we are calling “Rock the Dress for Breast Cancer”.

This is an event where women can come out in their old wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, or grad dresses to look & feel beautiful while raising money for a cause that affects women all over the world!

**ALL proceeds will be donated to the “Relay for Life” event**

Cost: $100 will get you a 45 minute one on one shoot with a professional photographer, and a disc with 20 high res. images.

Exact Locations are TBA – Each Photographer will be choosing their location, and once you are booked with your photographer, we will be contacting you with all your information!

ENV Photography will be doing 4 sessions on May 15 for the Event.

Today I headed out with Amy of Island in the Mist Photography to do some new headshots for her website. Amy is a wedding and portrait photographer who works mainly in Alberta and Newfoundland, and has a far better knack for photographing babies than I ever could. Amy and I go waaaaaay back to my troublesome high school years, and I was more than happy to show the world just how adorable she is! I think it is difficult for photographers to be on the other side of the lens, especially myself, but Amy did a great job posing away, even with her poor, cold, sockless feet (all in the name of fashion) when I made her climb in the snow.

Friday afternoon found me on the road, headed East, for my first foray into Saskatchewan for the weekend. My destination was Humboldt, SK for the No Limits: North workshop that was being hosted there. The drive was an interesting one, in that the roads were so straight and flat that I found myself easily going 160 kmph while singing along to to The Crack at the top of my lungs since I had no one to talk to.

I arrived in Humboldt Friday night, somewhere around 7:30 and totally forgot about the time difference, so it was actually an hour later, and I cruised around town, but couldn’t find much going on so just went to the Inn and crashed. I must admit, I’m not fond of sleeping places without my Derek and the 4 furballs, so didn’t sleep so well. Saturday morning came too early and I was up at my equivalent of 6 am to head to Imagin Photography (the Studio where everything was taking place) for 8 am (well, they called it 9, but not in my head) where I was joined by 15 others to learn from Mike Long and Andy Armstrong about pin-ups, fashion, glamour and boudoir photography. We each got to shoot a little with a model each day and learned about light, posing and post-processing.

At the end of the two days, I headed off to Saskatoon to spend the night before arriving home today after a very snowy drive. Here’s a few shots of one of the lovely models, I will show some of the pin-up stuff once I’ve finished working on it.
