What a great event this was as so many people took time on a gorgeous weekend to stop by the Syncrude Sports and Wellness Center and be a part of the Spring Women’s Show.  I was extremely thankful that it was not -50C like it was for the last show I was in! 

How fun it was to spend the weekend meeting new people and reconnecting with friends!  Thanks to all of you who stopped by : )  

I also want to thank Danelle, Sheri and Erin for giving of their time to help out in the booth and keep me company.  They were fabulous and did such a wonderful job!

I was so proud to be a local exhibitor and to be one of Fort McMurray’s very own in this show!  Speaking of Fort McMurray’s local talent… featured a short distance away from me was local artist and incredibly talented painter, Amy Keller-Rempp.  I have the joy of working with her and her husband and will be featuring them on an upcoming blog!  In the meantime…here is a sneak peek at their booth that weekend.

Fort McMurray Photographer,

Christine

When you run into traffic like this….you know that things have changed – and that there is a pretty good chance that you are now in Fort McMurray, Alberta! 

Well, it is true! Uncontained Photography is excited to be new to the Fort McMurray scene and call it home.  The business originated in Edmonton, Alberta several years ago and recently relocated to Fort McMurray mid 2009. It has been wonderful getting to know people here and finding new photography locations!

Several people have asked if I still do sessions in Edmonton.  The answer is most definitely YES!….it is just a bit more schedule dependant now. If you are an existing client, I especially would love to continue to work with you…and if you are a new client – I look forward to meeting you!   There are several trips to Edmonton that are scheduled within the year, allowing sessions to take place in various seasons.  Please contact me if you are interested in an Edmonton session as they book up quite quickly.  If you have a specific need for photography – please do not hesitate to contact me as there is always possibility of another trip.

Besides Fort McMurray and Edmonton, I also do weddings and sessions in Calgary, Kelowna, Canmore, Banff, Jasper, Vancouver, Victoria…and the list goes on and on! 

Why be limited in your location when you can be uncontained?  : )

As I have mentioned before, part of what I do is called stock photography.  This could either be images or shoots that are set up specifically for stock purposes – or it could be people that do a “non-stock” session but then sign model releases, allowing me to use it for stock afterwards. 

What is stock photography, you ask?  These are images that are taken with advertising/marketing campaigns in mind.  When a business puts together a brochure or billboard – they often use stock photography.  It can be used in several different mediums – and unfortunately as a photographer you are never sure where it ends up!

However…there has been a stock sighting!! I was just made aware of this on the weekend – but this is a family that I shot a couple of years ago…and now this image is being used for the article and the cover!

So fun!

If you have any interest in modelling or having your shoot be considered for stock photography – please contact me at info@uncontainedphotography.com

Thanks!

Families….

They are the group of people we love the most.

The ones that we laugh with.

The ones that we cry with. 

Our families allow us to be most like ourselves, as they love us unconditionally and accept us for who we are. 

Families are a source of strength, comfort, joy and celebration.

The majority of our memories are made – and shared – with our family.

In honor of Family Day – and just families in general – our family sessions are now on sale for $99 until the end of this month.  This sale applies to all family sessions that are booked this month (they do not necessarily have to be shot this month) – and also to gift certificates for family sessions.

Often people comment on how they haven’t had a family picture in years – or even ever at all. There are also those that have had a loved one pass away…..and wish more than anything to have a picture of everyone together. This absolutely breaks my heart as families are so special and are something that we need to capture and cherish.

PLEASE take the time to cherish, celebrate and capture your family.

From one who loves her family more than words can express,

Christine

 

And last, but definitely not least – I need to include a picture that I took of my immediate family and I (fall 2008)
