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.

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radius of Grande Prairie, Alberta, get in touch and let’s do a fully customized photo session so you can update those outdated photos currently on your walls!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.

Don’t forget, there are only three spots open for this exceptional sale!

M and K brought their two beautiful dogs along on Saturday’s photo shoot. We met at Saskatoon Island park and had most of the park to ourselves. The lake is not entirely covered in ice yet but it won’t be long before the entire lake is solid. Can you tell how windy it was?

Tucker, the all black Lab cross, was constantly on the move as you can likely tell in a couple of these shots and by how K is working to keep him still  M and K have such rich dark brown eyes but with the glare from the sun on the snow, squinting was inevitable. I’d love to capture them with different light to really enhance their eyes because this cheerful couple are both so attractive. They both have such a warm and genuine smile as well.

I continue to be busy, as you can tell by my infrequent posts. Today one of my more important jobs was to double check an order that came in, put it together, and then package it up nice and pretty. You may remember this couple from a recent photo shoot in Edmonton. D & M are truly delightful. There were several photos from this shoot I felt really hit the mark. This photo is one of them and so is the one below. Ordinary enough and maybe doesn’t look to be anything overly special. But today when I gave them that second look as I was preparing to package up all the prints, these were two that really grabbed me in how something that seems ordinary can be really very striking. This one isn’t huge but in the 8×12 print it really comes alive. I’m excited for them to see it. I’m excited for them to see most of the prints and I hope they love them as much as I do.

Isn’t it wonderful when we take the time to pause and really have a second look at things? The ordinary, everyday things. There is so much to see that is missed when we don’t take time to linger and really observe the details and the essence. For me, when I’m photographing anyone or anything, what is most important to capture is that essence. Not the superficial but what comes to the surface from within. That’s what I strive to capture when I photograph.

“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” – Elliott Erwitt

PS: I’ve been asked to write out a tutorial on how I make my designer envelopes. I thought I’d have that completed by now but hopefully next week I should post on that how-to crafty item that is so easy peasy.
