Ackland Grainger's National Sales Conference and Tradeshow 2009

I was hired on by Sonar MediaThink to take photos of Ackland Grainger's 2009 National Sales Conference on January 14th and 16th. The first night was the Meet and Greet with group photos of over 600 employees downtown at The Westin. Friday morning was the Tradeshow at the Shaw Conference Center where companies like 3M, GE, Kimberly-Clark, Westward and dozens of other companies showed what they were all about with some very impressive booths! The event wrapped up that night with the Presidents Gala where many employees were honoured for their achievements with bonuses and even trips to Hawaii! They definitely know how to treat their employees! It was a hectic couple of days and we got to meet some really great people! Thanks again Acklands Grainger and Sonar MediaThink! Job well done!

Council of Canadians COC

On October 31st I was hired on by a fantastic citizens group that works hard getting attention brought to some serious issues that Canadians face. The shoot was held at the Crown Plaza Chateau Lacombe Downtown and their three day conference was being held there. "Founded in 1985, the Council of Canadians is Canada’s largest citizens’ organization, with members and chapters across the country. We work to protect Canadian independence by promoting progressive policies on fair trade, clean water, energy security, public health care, and other issues of social and economic concern to Canadians. We develop creative campaigns to put some of the country’s most important issues into the spotlight. We work with a network of over 70 volunteer chapters to organize speaking tours, days of action, conferences and demonstrations. We also produce research reports, create popular materials, and work with individuals and organizations across the country and around the world. We do all of this to ensure that governments know the kind of Canada we want. The Council does not accept money from corporations or governments, and is sustained entirely by the volunteer energy and financial assistance of its members." I had a great time doing the photoshoot that was headed up by Jan Malek and everyone was so cooperative and fun! Now that my attentions have been brought to this group I definitely want to take a deeper look into the council and I encourage you to do the same!

Promo shots close to home!

So this week I was hired to do a few headshots and promotional shots for my boyfriend's new website. (He runs a digital video production company called Point Of View Media and he also helps out in my company from time to time as a wedding videographer and lacky. It was my turn to help him out and I think he was pleased. We got a bit goofy by the end and even managed to do a fake ad for my company...*Laugh* take a look.
