The Flanagan Family | Calgary Family Photography
For my entire career, I have been meeting with this family. It has truly been my pleasure to watch these incredible kids grow up. I mean...I probably shouldn't say that I have photographs of this little girl with her 'blankie'. No, really!! How old does that make me? When they purchased this house and it's FABULOUS pool, we immediately hatched a plan to one day do a session in it. I am so grateful that the kids(and the grown ups) trusted me to show up with my crazy camera and BATHING SUIT to capture these images for them. Summer is now fading fast and I'm already wishing I had taken the time to get in the water more. It might just be the perfect year for a HOT vacation ;)
A Truly Canadian Wedding | Calgary Wedding Photographer
I had the pleasure of documenting my first Hindu/Christian wedding over the Canada Day weekend this year. To me, it was the perfect way to celebrate Canada Day--seeing two cultures come together to celebrate family and love. You see the thing is, around the world, people really are mostly the same. They just want the best for their families and the ones that the love. The differences between us--these are the things we must celebrate and enjoy about each other. And, as a proud Canadian, I feel that our country does a great job of welcoming people from other countries, but, at the same time, encouraging them to maintain their heritage.
The father of the bride remarked about how his children had all married different cultures--one daughter married a Ukrainian, his son married a Vietnamese girl and now his other daughter had married an Indian. He said 'imagine the grandchildren!!!' ;) but I thought to myself how CANADIAN is this?
I want to say thank you to two lovely families who welcomed me, fed me, danced with me, and shared their amazing traditions with me. To the aunties who sat at my table....I promise to email you a link to the gallery so you can download all of the images! Here is a sneak peek...enjoy!
Baby's First Year Photography Special
Did you know that I offer a special to celebrate the arrival of a new baby into your household?
You have two options for a newborn session with me. Both are booked by your due date to secure your spot in my limited monthly calendar. One type of session takes place in my natural light studio in Okotoks. This is a great option for new parents as you don't have to clean your house in any way. Nothing to worry about except getting in your car to come visit me! We spend about an hour to an hour and a half creating roughly 40-50 images in a modern and relaxed atmosphere. I have a variety of clothing and blankets for you to use or you can bring your own. The pricing for this type of session can be found here: http://www.danapugh.com/okotoks-photography-studio-pricing/
The other type of newborn session that I offer is an in home/on location session(in the Calgary area). This allows me to fully document your new life together. The images we create are a mixed of portrait and candids. I can(and will) photograph the baby in his or her room, as well as capture more of your 'real life'. I find this is an especially nice option for families with other children. It is generally far easier for new siblings to be relaxed and themselves when they are in their own space. Together we create a series of images that work together to tell the story of exactly where you are at this point in your life. An average gallery for this type of session is closer to 80 images. The session takes between one and a half hours to two hours. The pricing for this type of session can be found here: http://www.danapugh.com/calgary-family-life-photography-session/
When you purchase a newborn session with me--whether it be in studio or on location--your maternity session will be a flat rate of $500(+gst). Together, we will create approximately 20 images from it. I will even do underwater sessions at this rate, although there are sometimes other fees for that type of session(like pool rental).
You are also eligible for an in studio 6-9 month session at the reduced rate. So, $500(+gst) for a 45 minute studio session documenting your baby's sweet smile and chubby little rolls. We will create about 20 natural, modern. A complete way of documenting your child's first year and I am so excited to begin offering it to my clients.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am often booked a couple of weeks in advance. To book a session, fill out the contact form and you will hear from me shortly. Thanks!
