Diane Jarvis-Schuller

Sure, I love photographing families, children, pets, and more, but photographing couples is something special. It really doesn’t matter if the reason for the photo session is because of an engagement, wedding, anniversary, birthday, or simply “just because”. Any reason is a worthy one!

I come to your urban or rural home, we can meet at a favourite park or other setting, and I’ll create memorable keepsakes for you to treasure forever.

Photographs Never Forget! Creating artistic memories.

Since July and August were extremely busy for me, I missed posting several previews. All of the clients have received all their proofs but since I was concentrating on keeping my head above water with the workload, preview posts really did get set by the wayside. One couple I photographed last month were such a joy, I’m backing up and sharing a few photos from that session.

S bought his beautiful wife A a gift certificate for a custom photo session for her birthday. They live in a beautiful rural setting and are building a new home so we spent the entire time taking advantage of the lovely surroundings. We also drove to a couple different locations so there is a great variety of  images to create a lovely portrait book.

From the moment A stepped outside I knew this would be a great photo session. She was wearing that cute dress with a flashy pair of cowboy boots! I love when someone has their own sense of style and fun. Speaking of fun, S is bursting with energy and antics as you can see. Now you can see part of the reason why I enjoyed my time with these two.

Many of these images were captured as the sun was setting so those ones have that darker but warm hue, much like a comfy sweater.

I had fun playing around making some of the storyboards as well, though the possibilities are nearly limitless for different combinations. If you’re looking for a photographer in the Grande Prairie, Edmonton, or Peace region in northern Alberta, I hope you’ll keep me in mind or pass this post on to friends. We could have as much fun as the evening spent with this lovely couple.

Photographs Never Forget! Keeping memories alive with custom portraits and albums.

Time is running out, book now for fall photos. I only have a few spots left.

I had the pleasure of being invited to the T family home to take photographs of their first born. She’s a cute-as-a-button little girl and boy-oh-boy does she have proud parents! While I was in their home, I also got to meet baby Adrian’s proud grand parents visiting from ‘down East’. You should see her nursery! Beautifully painted and decorated to the nines with so many incredibly special touches, all done by her grandparents.

Did I mention how happy the parents are?

In fact, thanks to a conversation I had with them, I am bringing back the 8×10 special (see the end of this post for details) plus I’m kicking it up a notch! Thanks K. Oh and it’s not hard to see what a heartwarming look of pride the new dad is wearing these days.

And here is one more sneak peek; this one of Mom and babe.

BONUS: As I mentioned, I am bringing back the following special plus I’m kicking it up a notch. If this post receives 15 comments from friends and family, this family will receive a complimentary 8×10 of their choice because of your support! The added bonus is for anyone who lives within a 150 km radius of Grande Prairie: After leaving your comment if you contact me and book a session with me (to be scheduled prior to Sept 2010), you too will receive a complimentary 8×10 print from your photo session. To make it easy, use the [email a friend] link to share this post with friends or family.

Get a free custom photography session! Yes, the entire $125 session fee is complimentary for this special. You definitely wouldn’t save $125 if you were buying a $300 gas (bbq) grill or a $300 outdoor wicker chair for the patio. The local plumber or yard clean up crew certainly aren’t going to take $125 off their bill, so check this one out.

Instead, pay only for your prints and other photographic products by purchasing a $300 print credit. After your complimentary session, pick your choice of images for any prints or products using your $300 credit. The possibilities are practically endless. You could end up selecting a variety of quality professional prints, add a brag book or two, and something big for your walls! Order whatever your heart desires.

This is a limited offer and based on a first-come, first-served basis to the first three (3) people to book (payment is required to hold your booking). Ideal for individuals, couples, teens, or small families (maximum of 4). So if you live within a 150 km radius of Grande Prairie, Alberta, get in touch and let’s do a fully customized photo session so you can update those outdated photos currently on your walls!

The only fine print: cannot be combined with any other offer or promotion and session must be completed prior to September 2010.
