If you are in Calgary today, you will need your umbrella!
It is Friday and it seems like it has been raining most of the week, but it is spring, so the rainy weather is to be expected. Having a nice red umbrella can brighten the day. I hope you have a happy friday and a great weekend.

Western Lowland Gorilla Kakinga, Calgary Zoo enjoying the sun
We visited a zoo a couple of weeks ago, Kakinga was out enjoying the sunshine. She was watching the crowd who was watching her and the troop of gorillas at the zoo, and I was able to take this portrait of Kakinga as she sat.

Yesterday the sun was shining, it looks like the nice weather has finally come to Calgary, and I hope it lasts through the summer! The hard part is spending time in the basement studio, processing images, and getting my work done when I really want to be outside.
Working with Jillian does make it easier to be in the basement, she is beautiful and therefore her images are also beautiful!
Today is going to be another wonderful day, but I am determined to get her photo package done, so today is a promise of things to come.

Richard Dansereau, Lad’s Auto, Calgary Business portraits
One of the great things about being a member of the BNI Rocky Mountain Thunder is the 7 am meetings, okay, that isn’t the best part! The best part of being a member is the people I have met. One of those great people is Richard Dansesreau, of Lad’s Auto, who is currently the President of our chapter. Dedicated to building the chapter with people who believe in the giver’s gain philosophy he is works hard to keep the meetings organized and on track; starting on time, finishing on time, and getting all the business done.
I have had my vehicle to Lad’s Auto, and I was impressed with the service. The service techs at the front desk are friendly, helpful and answered all my questions, the shop was so clean you could eat off the floor. They are licensed and authorized to perform regular scheduled maintenance on all new vehicles, and will identify all warranty work that need to be done.
It was great getting the opportunity to have Richard in the Studio, it gave us a chance to chat, and I learned that Richard is married, has two kids, coaches hockey, and sits on the advisory board at SAIT for the automotive program. He is one busy man!
Trust Richard with your automobile, call me if you need business Portraits!

Peter Huszar, owner and operator of Creations by Casablanca, loves working with his clients to decorate their home .
I had quite the chat with Peter when he visited my home. We are in the process of getting new windows, and some of the curtains and drapes need updating. We had a pretty good idea of what we wanted, Peter was able to show us several options and I am looking forward to new blinds!

Jonathan Dicey, Lakeview Insurance Brokers, Calgary Business Portraits
I met Jonathan Dicey through the BNI Rocky Mountain Thunder, he is the secretary-treasurer for the group. As part of the executive he provides a great example of the “givers gain” philosophy, and leadership to the members.
Jonathan and I had a great visit while he was in the studio getting his business portraits done. His father John Dicey founded Lakeview Insurance Brokers in 1981 and Johnathan joined the business in 1988. Family owned and operated Lakeview Insurance has a A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau. They are a member of the Independent Insurance Brokers Association, the staff is dedicated to, in Jonathan’s words, helping their clients understand their insurance needs, and getting them the best coverage available.
I know how hard Jonathan works for the members of BNI Rocky Mountain Thunder group, so I am sure that he and the staff at Lakeview Insurance will work just as hard for their clients. Jonathan’s Gallery of Images.

Richard Pouliln, Home Renovator; Calgary Business Portraits
Richard Poulin, is a Home Renovator who has been running his own business for almost 20 years. I met Richard through the BNI Rocky Mountain Thunder meetings. He like a lot of people who have been running their own business for a number of years, has always relied on referrals for his business. Letting his work and his clients speak for him. In today’s market referrals are much more important. BNI Rocky Mountain Thunder is becoming an important part of that referral business
Today’s market is changing, as consumers do a lot of research on the internet searching for the businesses and services we need. While we are doing that we check what other consumers are saying about the business. As a business owner, we are told that we need to have a web presence. Like any first meeting we have about 10 seconds for people to have a look and decide if they want to do business with us, your business portrait, and your business web pages must communicate effectively. Mr. Poulin is working on his web presence and wanted a portrait for his business cards and website.
Business Portraits are not and should not be all standard, they should be personal. Yes, there are corporate headshots that the company’s want for their employees that are all the same and fit the template designed by the web designer. And of course there is Linkin and Facebook, they have standard sizes for your portfolio shots. It is because of this that you need to find a way for your portrait to connect with people.
Richard tells me his is a simple man, married to the same lovely woman for 33 years. He is the proud father of 4, and a grandfather to 3 kids.
Richard has been in construction all of his life, he told me is biggest sense of accomplishment on the job site coms when the customer is thrilled with the completed project. From kitchens to bathrooms to basement developments his goal is to complete project one time and on budget, giving his clients room that they love to walk into. Helping to make a house a home!
