New Client / Platoon FX
One of my newest clients is Platoon FX. They are a new gym here in Calgary focusing on a “physical fitness experience”. While most gyms target on gaining your membership and then letting you help yourself, this gym is different. They have expert staff that are dedicated to helping you out. Another different aspect of this […]
Be My Valentine / Four Points Sheraton Charity Event
On Saturday I was lucky enough to be a part of a charity event at the Four Points Sheraton. Be My Valentine was such a fun time. Proceeds of the event went to the burn unit at the Foothills Hospital. Calgary Firefighters were auctioned off, burlesque dancers performed, there was great music and Casino Fun […]
Mabuhay Calgary Advertisement / October 2010
This was an advertising spread for Mabuhay Calgary’s October edition. It was shot in studio with two exposures. The first exposure was with Vince (AKA Mabuhay Boy) reading the newspaper. The second was with just the mirror and jack-o-lantern. In Photoshop they were merged and the bite mark was added for that vampire effect :) […]
Chelta & Todd / Engagement
Last year was such a busy year that I haven’t had time to blog all my wedding and engagement shoots. Now that it’s cold out again I thought I’d torture myself and look at all the pictures during the summer. Even better I’ll share them with all of you! It’s not surprising that Chelta and […]
Portrait of My Grandmother
My 93 year old grandmother Isidra Toledo (or “Apo” as we like to call her) is a very special lady to me. I am who I am today because of her. Every time I see her I’m reminded of the times when she would babysit me while my parents were at work. I must have […]
Rising Edge Christmas Party / Red Carpet Booth
Rising Edge Technologies and Rising Edge Engineering had their company Christmas party in November. I thought I’d post a few pictures from the Red Carpet booth that my good friend George Cox took care of while I was doing the portrait booth. Great job Geroge! And thanks to Rising Edge Technologies and Rising Edge Engineering […]

Help-Portrait Calgary / Dec. 4th, 2010
When I went to Escalate Live back in May of this year one of the speakers was celebrity and commercial photographer Jeremy Cowart. The conference was jam packed with eight industry leading professionals. I hoped to learn a lot and I did (I’ll talk more about Escalate Live on another post). Help-Portrait is an idea that […]
Jiao & Robert / Wedding
Jiao and Robert live in Vancouver but decided to get married in Calgary where a lot of their family and friends live. The day started out with some morning coffee for the guys thanks to Alek, one of the trusted groomsmen. As Robert continued to work on his car he was continuously reminded that he […]
Leah Cronkite / Lifestyle Fitness Shoot
As a photographer the most weight I’m lifting these days is my Nikon with a 70-200mm lens attached. Not quite the workout that Leah Cronkite sees on a daily basis. Leah is a fitness model in Calgary. I had the fortunate opportunity to test with her. At the same time I was able to try […]
Khubsurat / Citytv Breakfast Television
Shaila and Domingo had asked me to do some stills during a morning taping of the Breakfast Show on Citytv. I barely got up at 5:30am to catch the filming around 7am. Being up till 1am the night before didn’t help matters so forgive me if this post cuts off short or if you were one of […]
Jiao & Robert / Engagement
I had such a great time with Jiao and Robert that cold chilly Saturday. Jiao, a doctor and Robert, a teacher have awesome personalities that came alive in the images. There were so many that I liked that I had trouble choosing which ones to show you! Now living in Vancouver they flew to Calgary […]
Calgary Public Library / Branding Book
I was fortunate enough to work with the Calgary Public Library (CPL) marketing team on a wonderful marketing campaign. The marketing team at the CPL was a lot of fun to work with. They had great a great campaign on branding people of the CPL. The two day shoot was interesting and I got to play […]
