{Duncan Clan} | Calgary family photographer

It's been a year since my last photo shoot with Jason and his family. From my last family photo shoot with them super adorable baby Alexis became a toddler, super adorable one too :) I think her and I share a special connection :) I love to cuddle her and she gladly let me do it :P
This time it was a special, surprise shoot for their parents, so they asked me not to share anything until the secret it out :) So, the secret is out, and I am very happy to show you what they've been hiding all this time :)

Calgary Concert Opera Company | Calgary performance photographer

One of my friends is an incredible opera singer - Barbara King. Her and Chris founded this new amazing company "Calgary Concert Opera Company", where they provide opportunities for opera singers to learn roles from different operas and to perform them for audiences in a comfortable environment. Barbara and Chris are fun, life loving, intelligent and kind people and every time I have to work with them - it's just pure pleasure.

The concert was amazing, all of the Voices were just mesmerizing! The hall was full and everyone enjoyed the performance. To me opera has some kind of magic and as I look at it - you MUST be an excellent singer as well as perfect performer and all of them were very good at it. Congratulations to Barbara and Chris on such a great beginnings!
