Welcome

Hi there! And thank you for taking the time to peek at the Visual Hues Photography blog! Seeing the images so big on the screen just makes me smile from ear to ear – hope you like them too!

I’m Janet and I’m a portrait photographer based in Calgary, Alberta. I truly believe I am one of the luckiest people out there having the job I do. I meet the most wonderful people, share the special moments in their lives and get to see their families grow and expand. And to top it off I am rewarded with their smiles, tears and compliments when they see the beautiful art we’ve created featuring THEM. So fun!

Have fun touring around. My website link is at the top of the blog where you can see more images and lots of helpful information. You can use the archives tab to find blog posts from previous months. And there is a link to our website where you can find out lots more information. I look forward to meeting you and the precious ones in your life … whether they are brand new, just growing up, around for a while, or not even arrived yet!

Thank you for letting me do what I love. Hope to hear from you soon!

Janet

BRAND NEW ARRIVAL – Calgary Newborn Photography

July 28, 2010 – 8:43 pm

I soooo loved this family.   An amazing level of comfort right from the moment they first called and when I stepped through their door.   Dad told me he took pictures of the Visual Hues canvases up in the Foothills hospital with his phone so he could call me when they got home!   Love it!  

For this shoot, I wanted to highlight an idea for a wall collection, because I just love this combination of images so much.  I love the long and narrow feature piece and then all the sweet images of this beautiful brand new little girl.   Would this just not look soooo striking up in their home?!?

FREE-SPIRITS – Calgary Child and Family Photography

July 23, 2010 – 1:16 pm

When I first saw these three little ones pop out of their vehicle one by one, I knew we were going to have a magical shoot!  The whole family was full of big smiles, lots of giggles and a sense of style that I just loved.   The best thing… the kids are just as fun and free-spirited as  they are gorgeous.

It’s a big post, I know, but it’s all I could do to narrow it down to these ones!!  I’m sure I’ll look back at their gallery tomorrow and wish I would have put some other favourites in!!!

Enjoy your weekend!!!  I’ll be back next weekend with the most precious newborn.

FAMILY – Calgary Family Photographer

July 22, 2010 – 1:24 pm

I was so excited to take photos of this beautiful family.   These littles ones’ drop dead gorgeous mom and I both did work with our children’s preschool board.  Through meeting there we organized our shoot — it’s  great to meet so many wonderful and fun families through the activities of our children.   

I am in complete love with the first image here.  It’s an example of those images where your children don’t have to have a huge smile on their faces to be as precious as can be.   The first family one just shouts “FUN” to me and the second kiss in the park makes me sigh with happiness.   We finished the day off with ice cream — what a perfect way to end it!!!

Thanks K!!

OUT IN THE COUNTRY – Calgary and Longview Child Photography

July 13, 2010 – 8:39 am

Here are a few more images from our beautiful venture out to Longview.  I will never tire of the beauty of the area where I grew up; it’s one of my favourite places to take photographs.   There is a such a sense of ‘being’ out there… the air, the colours, the quiet!    Couple that beauty with these sweethearts and it’s a perfect day!

“Hi! Are you taking our pictures today??” – Calgary Family Photographer

July 7, 2010 – 12:45 pm

He popped out of their vehicle and came  up to me with no hesitation!     “Hi!  Are you taking our pictures today?!?!”  he exclaims as he sticks out his hand for a introductory handshake.  I immediately knew I’d be having a lot of fun today …  and a decent workout following these two energetic brothers around in Fish Creek.  And I wasn’t incorrect in that assumption!   We went exploring  into the woods, running everywhere, throwing rocks by the river and yes, I had a good slug of water when I got back to my car!    Love it!!!
