We just got back from a couple days in Banff for Christmas. We were treated to some incredible frost that turned everything into a visual winter wonderland. Hope you enjoy these!

The next one taken by my sister Steph, and we really liked it!

Happy Holidays everyone! We hope you’re all having a wondering holiday season! If there’s anyone who is sad about the lack of snow, just let us know. I’m sure Edmonton would be more than willing to part with a foot or so :)

And Happy New Year as well! We hope 2010 will be filled with adventures, laughter, and lots of friends and family!

I thought I’d share our holiday card image with you all! We sent this bad boy all around the world, and hopefully were able to bring a little smile to a few faces :)

Oh, and since I know you guys just love it when we create suspense….Rob and I have a stellar idea, and about two weeks to get it rolling. I’m really hoping it will work out, so definitely make sure to check back here in the new year when we hopefully launch a new project!!!

Loves of love everyone! Stay warm :)

Well, I’ve been working away at these for a long time now. As I’m sure all photographers know, revamping your portfolio is always way more work than you expect it to be. But it’s always worth it. For us, we have a renewed energy and drive after seeing all that we’ve done in the past year!

It’s not completely finished yet, as I still have to put together a couple more categories, and hopefully get them all linked together, but I wanted to share what I’ve done with you lovely blog readers! For those wondering, I made these portfolios myself! Big thanks to my friend Kyle Fox for his help with some of the CSS stuff!!

First up, our Wedding Portfolio: http://www.robandlaurenphotographers.com/weddingportfolio/

And a couple teaser shots:

And secondly, as many of you know, we took up shooting film this year. Our Film Portfolio is less extensive, but hopefully still interesting! There is a lot of new stuff in there, since we just finished scanning it all!

Here’s the link: http://www.robandlaurenphotographers.com/filmportfolio/

And the teaser shots:

Note: You will need to scroll sideways to view our portfolio. I know it’s a bit of a hassle, but we find it’s the best way to display both horizontal, vertical, and irregularly sized images! 

We’d love to hear your feedback! Hope you enjoy, we’re really excited about where our work is going :)

Hi friends!

Man, it is COLD here in Edmonton! This Saturday it might get down to -37C with the windchill. To my American friends, you might wonder what on earth that means. Well, -40 is the point at which Celsius and Farenheit converge, so think of it that way. Either way, it’s not fun at all! So today I’m posting some images from the summer. *Sigh* 

If it’s warm where you are, enjoy it! And if it’s cold, I hope you’re keeping warm!

Lauren :) 

This upcoming Saturday photographers from all over the world will be participating in an event called Help Portrait. Quite simply, the purpose is to find people in need, take their portrait, and print it. It’s going to be an amazing way to give back, and show people that they are beautiful. 

Here in Edmonton there is a large group participating, with 4 locations around the city. The reason I’m posting about this event is to ask our lovely blog readers to spread the word to people in need. You might know someone who runs a shelter, works with the underprivileged, or could benefit from this themselves. Examples of the people this event was created for are veterans, the elderly, the homeless, single mothers, etc. 

If you’d like to see what it’s all about, view this video. I watched it this morning and nearly bawled. I’m really excited to get to participate in such an awesome cause.

Here is a poster with details for the Edmonton event. Please think if you know someone we can help, and spread the word! If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email and I’ll answer them as best I can!

And finally, if you are a photographer, make-up artist, or even just someone who wants to help, I’m sure there is still space for volunteers. This is the link for the Edmonton group where you can offer your help, and get in touch with the organizers: http://community.help-portrait.com/group/edmonton

Thanks in advance for your help! We really hope we can put a smile on a lot of faces this Saturday!
