Street Style YXE

Growing up we were told not to talk to strangers…unless of course they were fabulously dressed.  In which case chat them up, take their photo and tell them how awesome they are. So when the Fringe Festival came to Saskatoon I knew there would be no better place to find extraordinarily dressed people strutting their stuff on the streets as if it was their own personal runway.  #workit
You may wonder why all the people below are stunning young men.  Ladies, before you get you knickers in a knot, because we all know you too can be trendsetters, let me tell you that this lil escapade was a contest brought to you by the lovely menswear blogger “We, the Timeless” and local menswear boutique ‘Banjo Outpost’ to win some swag.
*As a disclaimer my parents didn’t really tell us that it was ok to talk to fabulously dressed strangers, only to talk to strangers with candy. JKJK!! I HAD GOOD PARENTS!! gary

Canada day

In Canada, when July 1st rolls around we get all patriotic and stuff.  Painting our faces red and white, eating poutine for breakfast, lunch and supper, and tuning into our favourite radio stations to listen to the most requested song of the day, “Oh, Canada.”  I’ll have to say that while all those things get my inner Canadian rage on, nothing beats dressing up your best friend in a red and white flag, stamped with a maple leaf to show true authentic Canadian pride.

Big thanks to my partner in crime Jec Graham for being a good sport and an amazing model.  Add a, “I double doggie dare ya” and she’s game.  Another big thanks to Momma Graham for the donation of the flag, because even though we are super patriotic and all that, let’s face it, two broke college kids can’t afford a $60 flag. #shouldabeenagolddigger

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

In the Boho world pineapples are in. So when cruising through the grocery store the other night I decided to pass by the pineapple section and see what all the hype was about. My inner Nicole Richie couldn’t resist. $4.95 later, pineapple and Coachella vibes in tow, we hit the mean streets of Regina to photograph the carefree vibes of a pineapple.

Banjo Outpost – Behind the Scenes

This past Sunday Banjo Outpost, a menswear clothing store in Saskatoon, was shooting their Spring/Summer lookbook and with my hookups through We, the Timeless I was asked to tag along. I mean can you really say no to a day with male models and free food? #hangingwithmodels #blessed 

With a photographer, videographer and several other cameras around I choose a behind the scenes view. And if you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of a mens fashion shoot, it’s a lot less glamour and a lot more pickled eggs and beef jerky snacks.  But…nothing short of fabulous.

Thanks again to We, the Timeless and Banjo Outpost for letting me be a part of such an awesome project.  Check in with them at a later date for the full story.

Kelly

The beginning of the year is bliss.  The crammed holiday portrait season is over and I get to shoot a planned stylized shoot just for me.  Alyssa Strassburg and I collaborated once again for our 3rd annual styled shoot and we had GORGeous Kelly to help us out.  I swear this girl couldn’t take a bad picture if her life depended on it!
