New Adventures – Becoming a Calgary Photographer

ByCMercredi

This year as the season changes Life and Portraits will be seeing significant changes as well. My family (and eventually studio) will be relocating from Fort McMurray to Chestermere (A few minutes east of Calgary) next month. I have truly loved calling Fort McMurray home for the past 15 years, starting my family here, and building this business embraced by our amazingly supportive community.

Life and Portraits is not taking further bookings at this time, as the studio is booked to capacity. If you know anyone looking for a corporate portrait and headshot photographer in the Calgary area send them my way! I hope to open the new studio in the spring, please feel free to visit as I would love to see you and am located only about 20 minutes from the Calgary airport.

Thank you for everything Fort McMurray Wood Buffalo. I will be back to visit often, and will always be cheering for you.

Soon to be Calgary Area Photographer;
