Killer - Photographing photographers

This is my friend Dani... she is the photographer over at Danielle Stasiuk Photography and Pink Sugar boudoir.  Her work is killer!  The other night we went out to take some photos of each other.  It was a lot of fun!  She made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera and gave me a ton of direction, which I love!  I will post some of my pics later, but in the meantime here are a few fav's from her session.  If you are interested, you can check out her website HERE

Danielle - Shooting photographers...

Tonight Danielle, of Danielle Stasiuk Photography, and I went out in the city to capture each other.  We both agreed that we needed some new head-shots.  While this one isn't a head-shot,  I love how this one turned out!!!!  So bad ass!  Danielle specializes in weddings and boudoir!!!  She was so much fun to photograph and while I was in front of the camera, she made me feel at ease and gave a ton of direction, which I love!  You can check out her amazing boudoir work Here

Frames, Frames, Frames!!!

Well I got some bad news the other day... our super, wonderful, Canadian, frame company is closing its doors.  My house is full of these frames, and now I will no longer be able to add to my collection.  Total bummer... I know!  But, the good news is, they are still accepting orders until July 30, so we will be happy to accept any orders until then.  I thought lets go out with a bang!  All frames will be sold empty (without images) and I can offer them for 40% off if you buy two or more.  We would be more than happy to print professional prints for the frames as well at at discounted price of 20% off our regular print price. 

So, you can get these frames for a steal!  Here is the pricing:

30x40:  $749.40 (reg: $1249)

20x30:  $407.40 (reg: $679)

16x20:  $221.40 (reg: $369)

11x14:  $149.40 (reg: $249)

8x10:  $71.60 (reg: $179)

The frames are amazing quality!  And I'm saddened as I haven't found a company that is Canadian and comparable.  So until we find another great company to supply us, this will be the last time you will be able to score some frames from us!  Here are some images of the frames.  They come in a variety of different shapes, can come distressed or not, and you can get them in every color of the rainbow!  Our last day to accept frame orders is July 29, 2014!!!

Urban Ballerina - Saskatoon Photographers

My sister in law lives in Calgary and last fall while we were there visiting, she asked me if I could do some photos of one of her dance students as a gift to her mom.  After chatting a lot about what we had envisioned for the session, we decided on going with an urban ballerina theme.  I love how the session turned out!  With the mix of the pretty tutu and point shoes along with the grungy setting of downtown Calgary.  This stunning young lady is so extremely talented and did incredible for her session.  We had her dance instructor (my sister in law) along to do most of the posing, and she nailed it!  I was so impressed by how strong and flexible she was and how she doesn't look cold, considering it was right around 0 degrees out that day.  I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to capture these images. 

Happy New Year!

Hi there!  Welcome to our brand spankin' new blog!  We have had the same blog since we opened up shop, almost 8 years ago.  I figured it was time for a much needed upgrade.  So here it is, our brand new blog to showcase our latest work!  

While I was going through images for our new website I found some behind the scenes shots that you've probably never seen before.  So here they are, some behind the scenes shots from my second shooters from different weddings over the last few years.  While, it may not be exciting, its fun to see how I create some of the images I get, from interesting angles, to bribing kids for smiles.  Here they are folks!  Behind the scenes with Memories by Mandy Photography.
