That's Edmonton For You!

2009-06-15T19:56:00.000-07:00

Saw a great little concert this weekend. The City Of Edmonton commissioned local Edmonton musicians to come up with some music to support sustainable community.

I didn't bring my camera, I just wanted to spend the day with my family and enjoy the music at Louise McKinney Riverfront Park. I wanted to tell you about the web site where you can download all the music from the concert for free!

Check it out, there are some great songs!

Support your local artist! :)

That's Edmonton For You!

Wishing you happiness, joy, and laughter!

2009-06-08T19:32:00.000-07:00

I recently had the opportunity to photograph a Boudoir Session of a very beautiful woman. This was my first attempt at Boudoir photos, so I thank her for letting me post a few images from our session! I'm glad I had the chance to try this and hope to do more in the future.

Wishing you happiness, joy, and laughter!

And the Oscar goes to........... Someone else! :)

2009-02-28T18:18:00.000-08:00

So yeah, I'm a big time Hollywood actor. I haven't told anyone yet, but now that the cat is out of the bag I might as well blog about it! You'll probably see me nominated for an academy award within the next couple years! ;)

Actually I did this silly commercial for the Edmonton Motor Dealers Association Car Show that's happening this weekend up at Northlands. If you get a chance you should go check out the show. They've got some pretty sweet cars there, including the Nissan GTR! Mmmmmmmm..... Nissan GTR! Here's the web site: www.emdacars.com

Here is my awesome commercial! Check me and my acting skills out! I'm a Superstar! :D

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS!!!

2008-11-12T23:35:00.001-08:00

Stone Temple Pilots! Canticle and I went down to Calgary for the Virgin Music Festival this summer. STP is one of my all time favorite bands and I finally got to see them. Yeah! Scott Weiland and the guys put on a great show for all!

Yeah, that's Scott looking right at my camera! :)

This is when I got up on stage and showed the crowd how to ROCK! ;)

This was the first time I'd seen The Tragically Hip as well. Gordon Downie is one cool cat! He is such an amazing performer, he is so completely wrapped up in the moment that you can't help but feel his passion for music.

Wishing you happiness, joy, and laughter!

David and Jessica ~ Destination... Stockholm!

2008-11-12T20:54:00.000-08:00

When David and Jessica first called me from New Zealand and told me they wanted me to shoot their wedding, I was pleased to say the least! Then they told me they were not getting married in New Zealand though, we're getting married in Stockholm!

Wow, I'd never been to Stockholm before. What an exciting trip it was. Stockholm is very beautiful and actually does not look that different from Alberta. It was a beautiful ceremony and a great celebration of family and friends from around the world!

Come to think of it, Stockholm does look a lot like Saskatchewan! ;)

Wishing you happiness, joy, and laughter!

Aurayliah Two Years Old!!! Whaaa???

2008-11-05T19:57:00.000-08:00

Our little girl turned two years old not that long ago, so we went to the park and took a few shots. It's hard to believe she's two already, it seems like a couple weeks ago she was crawling around. Now look at her! :)

Wishing you happiness, joy, and laughter!

The Blood Lines!

2008-05-17T16:03:00.001-07:00

The Blood Lines are a great band from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan! They are the music on my home page. This band is extremley talented and they are going places! Check out their web site, listen to some of their other songs on MySpace, then go buy their album on iTunes.

The Blood Lines are in the midst of recording their second album with some big time producer, they're gonna be huge!

When The Blood Lines played a show at the Velvet Undergound in Edmonton I was lucky enough to hook up with them for a few shots. We were short on time, but still got some great shots!

Seriously, check this band out! :)

Blessings, Love, and Peace!

Jason & Elizabeth - Trash The Dress

2008-05-17T14:54:00.000-07:00

Not long after the ANTI-workshop I had the opportunity to do a "Trash The Dress" session. I speak of that workshop and this TTD session together because John Michael Cooper is the dress trashing master, he basically invented the genre!

Anyway, HUGE props to Jason & Elizabeth for being game for this! Sorry Elizabeth, your dress will never be the same! ;) Oh well, it was just going to sit in a closet anyway. :p

Here are a few shots.

Jason & Elizabeth weren't the only wet ones that day. These shots would not have been possible unless I got in the water as well! I'll never ask people to do something I'm not willing to do. Wasn't exactly the warmest day, but totally worth it!

This image I was going to put in a magazine as an ad, but every one I showed it to said it was "too scary" to be a wedding ad. I just love this shot though, I don't think it's scary, but I remember how much fun we were having taking it! :) I opted not to run the ad, but maybe I should anyway, what do you all think?

Blessings, Love, and Peace!

Anti-Workshop Seattle

2008-05-17T13:55:00.000-07:00

I know, I know, I'm a late blogger, but better late then never right! :)

I had the privilege of going to The ANTI-workshop last year in Seattle. Click the link, click past events, click Seattle; that's me attempting "Blue Steel" with an inflatable pig! :) LOL!

Many thanks to John & Dalisa Cooper of altF in Las Vegas and Doug & Chenin Boutwell of Boutwell Studio in SoCal. This workshop was full of information and inspiration which helped push my photography to new and exciting places.

Here is a (anti) portrait I took of John Michael Cooper during this workshop. :)

I also want to send a big thank you to Marisa Holmes. Marisa is a photographer from Southern California who volunteered to be our model for the day, we shot some different & fun shots. Here are a few of my favorites! :)

Blessings, Love, and Peace!

The Traveling Shovel

2008-04-04T13:44:00.000-07:00

Ok, ok, ok.... I'm totally crazy! I admit it. I'm ok with that fact though, because I know that I am not alone!!! :) A bunch of photographers from all around the world decided to take pictures of a shovel. Why you ask? I told you, because we are crazy! :)

It actually all started with a shoot in the desert outside of Las Vegas in which amazing photographer
John Michael Cooper used a shovel for a prop in an image. Then we got this crazy idea to send the shovel all over the world being photographed in fun and unique ways. Keep track of the shovel in all it's glory at
The Traveling Shovel web site.

The shovel has been lost, watch an update and initiation of a new shovel in
this video.

My collection of images are with the original shovel. It was the shovels first visit to Canada, so I had to show him what Edmonton and Canada are all about! :) We will miss you buddy! *single tear*

Blessings, Love,and Peace!

2008-04-04T12:44:00.000-07:00

I had a great time at Brian & Carolyn's wedding. They are a very fun couple and were up for any of my idea's. I got some great images from their wedding, you'll recognize the first image from my home page and gallery. If you are looking for an amazing web designer in Edmonton, talk to Brian! He did a fantastic job with my web site! :)

Mark Salamandick

2008-04-04T12:31:00.000-07:00

Mark is an comedian based in Edmonton. Mark wanted to do some non-traditional head shots, so we went out and had a great time getting some great shots. Mark kept me in stitches the entire shoot! :)

I was watching TV the other day and I saw in a City TV commercial someone being interviewed in a local comedy club. Whose picture was hanging in the background? Why it was Mark's head shot that I took (the first one in this series)! I guess that makes us both super famous!!! ;)

Blessings, Love, and Peace!

Adam & Brette

2008-04-04T12:25:00.000-07:00

Adam & Brette are some friends of mine. I was actually a groomsman in this wedding, not the photographer. But I was able to get a nice shot anyway. The black & white is from when they first started dating.

Blessings, Love, and Peace!

Little Emily

2008-03-05T16:21:00.000-08:00

Emily's mom wanted to capture all the fun and personality that lives in her little girl through photographs. This was a fun shoot, Emily is such a little character and had a great time being herself in front of the camera. My favorite image from the shoot made it into the portrait gallery on my web site. Thanks Sherri for choosing me as your photographer! :)

Blessings, Love, and Peace!

Roshan & Karene

2008-03-05T14:12:00.000-08:00

These are from the first wedding I did after I started J Leon Photography here in the Edmonton - Spruce Grove area.
Roshan & Karene are such beautiful, kind, and loving people.

It was such a gorgeous day at the Devonian Gardens, we couldn't have asked for better weather.

Roshan & Karene decided to have this amazing drum group at their reception.
They put on a good show and everyone had a blast dancing! :)

Blessings, Love, and Peace!
