Okotoks Studio Photography
I love watching families grow. I photographed their wedding back in 2017(you can see the blog post here: https://www.danapughphotography.com/blog/2017/11/1/canyon-ski-resort-wedding-calgary-photographer ). This summer, I got to meet their adorable little man in my studio for some family photographs. It is honestly one of the greatest joys of my life seeing families over and over again as they grow and change. And, then, right after I sent them their gallery, I ran into them at D Dutchmen Dairy in Sicamous!!! I mean, when in Sicamous, you gotta stop there—am I right?
I just wanted to share a studio session with everyone so that you can see that they aren’t stuffy at all ;) Very relaxed and fun, just safe from any inclement weather. And, now, in the days of COVID, I am taking all sorts of precautions—including increasing the airflow by keeping the windows open during the session, wearing a mask, hand sanitizer and fully sanitizing between each session(this last bit is nothing new…I’ve always done that). So, if you are looking for something a bit different than fall leaves for your annual portrait session this year, a studio session is a great option!!
Simply Portraits Session | Pet Photography Calgary
The most common question I get asked is ‘Can we bring our dog?’. My answer is always YES. Dogs are my favourite. And, this fella has so many expressions I just couldn’t pick one photograph that was a favourite. I mean—his tongue is possibly the longest tongue I have ever seen!!!
His parents are pretty cute, too.

Too Cool For School Portraits 2020
Every year, I have a special event in my studio called Too Cool for School Portraits! These portrait events are designed to create a back to school portrait that truly shows us your child’s personality. It is a relaxed setting where I let the child lead. A quick portrait experience with 5-10 minutes per child. This year, school is looking different than ever before, so I wanted to offer these portrait sessions in a different way than ever before.
For the month of September, you can book one of these sessions in studio Monday-Friday for $99/family. This will get you a session that includes 5-10 minutes plus one digital file per child. The session can include up to 3 children from the same immediate family. Each additional child is $49. Additional digital files, prints and other products can be purchased as well. There will be a limited number of sessions available so that I can allow for social distancing and sanitizing of all surfaces in between sessions.
I will also be making space for the children of 4 families on Saturday, October 3rd(this is available for children only). I believe that is the most number of families I can manage in the studio and still maintain a high level of sanitization. Same deal—just one session per hour from 10:00am-2:00pm. First come, first served. This truly is the portrait event with the best prices of the year!! Act fast as I have limited availability.
So, for all of you folks out there that find yourself homeschooling this year. Or, for all of the people who are truly just too cool for school portraits…this is the portrait event for you!! Contact me now to grab your spot.
And—I still have space for a few more family sessions this fall season, but I’m booking fast…don’t miss those fall colours this year and book your family session today. Contact me for more information.
Mountain Adventure Session | Calgary Family Photography
Classic Dana Adventure Session ;) That’s what I’m calling this one…ice skating in the mountains, exploring a snow pile together as a family…this is what makes family photography sessions FUN!! My favourite type of portrait sessions are Adventure sessions where we take the time to get those family portraits you crave, but also the more candid, documentary moments that don’t happen in a traditional portrait setting. I’m grateful for families that are looking for something more out of their photography experience and trust me with my crazy ideas!! Even when it means putting on the teeniest pair of skates EVER!!!
This family was in Banff for a hockey tournament and took the time out of their busy schedule to slow down and have fun together!! Their mom is an awesome photographer herself(http://www.lifeandportraits.com/) so go check out her work. And, scroll to the end so that you see all the super fun photographs we created together.
