Miss T – Boudoir Photography

Mac Sokulski — Wed, 22 May 2013 15:59:09 +0000

A few weeks ago, we had a great pleasure of working with Miss T for her boudoir session in our studio. Miss T brought an unusual item, specially for boudoir, her boxing gloves. That added a new twist to the theme. I encourage this very much in our boudoir photography sessions. The sessions are very personal, and anything that can add a touch of you, something that makes the images unique is just brilliant. We try to make our boudoir sessions an event. Something that makes you feel special, like going to a spa and getting pampered. That’s what our boudoir session are like. Fun, full of laughter and energy. Just for you to feel super special.

Usually we do not post any images from our sessions. Well because they are kinda private, and personal. From time to time we get permission from our special ladies to show a few, like Miss W boudoir session, and Miss T has graciously allowed us to show some of her images. There are a lot more…. but only for Miss T

So why don’t you give us a call and setup your own glamour, boudoir, sexy, photography session.

Spring 2013

It is a wonderful thing to see the trees bloom as well as get green all over. I’ve been getting a lot of images here and there while walking with our dog, or just simply taking my camera to my own back yard recently. Such a delight to see all this wonderful color. Hope you like it as well!!

Lifestyle Photography: A boy and his dog

Mac Sokulski — Tue, 21 May 2013 17:36:12 +0000

I was playing with 645 Pro photo app on the iphone. It’s quite an interesting app, with a lot of options for film and format. Then edited via Snapseed app. They were done while on a walk with Konrad and our little dog Atos. He’s not little anymore mind you. I think he doubled in size in the last month and a half. At least he’s a good mosquito catcher, of which we have an abundance. Atos is doing his part. Here are some of the photos from that walk. Enjoy!

Before Planting Season

Kasia Sokulska — Thu, 09 May 2013 21:39:40 +0000

The weather is finally warm enough that I can start thinking of what to plant in my garden. It’s going to be a couple more weeks before I will be brave enough to do so – there is always a possibility of frost and I have had an unfortunate accident a few years back, when I rushed things through and lost almost all new plants to a morning frost.. So, I will wait with planting, but nothing stops me from visiting our neighborhood nursery and doing a little “window shopping” before I can actually purchase things. With that in mind, a few days ago, I have taken my camera with me and had a great time taking pictures of all those wonderfully colorful flowers all just waiting for me to take home . I caught a few early insects as well, not mentioning a guarding cat that was enjoying a bit of a nap on one of the shelves, when I rudely interrupted his rest. A cute thing, allowed me to take a picture and then wondered away, in search, I think, of a quieter spot.. I don’t know about you, guys, but I can’t wait to plant things and watch them grow and bloom in a myriad of colors for my enjoyment all summer long!! Happy gardening guys!!

Two Spring Sunsets – Alberta Landscape Photography

Mac Sokulski — Tue, 07 May 2013 14:37:05 +0000

One could say that winter is officially done. As my wife pointed out in her post of a first proper Alberta landscape sunset, the wait is finally over. I think it is safe to say, that we are back to the big Alberta skies, and perfect time for more spring and summer Alberta landscapes.

It is so nice to be able to go out, in a T-shirt and feel the warmth of a setting sun, smell of the earth, and hear a high pitched buzz of a mosquito. Yep, they are out there already. It’s really unnerving when you are focused on taking that great image, and hear that familiar buzz in your ear. Do I swat it and ruin the image, or wait it out?? Times likes these I’m glad I have a digital camera.

I took these images over the last couple of days. First it was a planned trip. We left early enough to find a spot, setup, and get ready. The second was a typical “Hey, do you see the clouds?? We have 10 minutes, grab the dog and the cameras! Lets go!” type of deal. Both times the Sony 10-18 got a nice work out. It’s a great lens. Beautifully wide to capture the big Alberta skies, and sharp for great detail. Did I mention it’s light? Not to mention the Sony NEX camera’s flip up screen, which allows to get the camera down low, with out subjecting myself into lying down in the mud, or shooting blind. You must forgive me, I’m getting older, and unlike my co-host from Shutter Time with Sid and Mac podcast, who likes to get muddy and dirty on her wildlife shoots, I like to stay relatively clean and dry. Call it lazy, or lack of dedication, but I say why get dirty if I don’t have to

So here are the shots from the last two days. Enjoy the sunsets!

The Wait Is Finally Over!

Kasia Sokulska — Sat, 04 May 2013 21:16:22 +0000

I am sure, you remember me mentioning a few times over the winter (Missing Summer Skies.. Part 1 and Missing Summer Skies.. Part 2) the fact that I have been missing the beauty of summer skies. It’s been such a long time, since we have had something interesting to look at during daytime hours as well as mornings and evening that when I saw what was happening outside yesterday I was up and about with the camera enjoying myself immensely. The warm temperatures brought with it fluffy clouds yesterday afternoon and I took our puppy for a walk in a neighborhood off leash park hoping to capture some of them. Oh, what a gorgeous walk it was!! I was hoping that the sky would cooperate during sunset as well and guess what! It did!! We didn’t have much time to go in search of a location and decided to use “our” field close to the city. The melted snow left a huge puddle at the edge of this field and it happen to beautifully capture reflections of the sky, of which we took a great advantage ;D. Here is a few shots of yesterday’s beauty. Hope you guys find it as enjoyable as did I!

The Beginning..

Kasia Sokulska — Sat, 20 Apr 2013 17:56:00 +0000

As I have mentioned in my post Things to Come, spring has been very slow to start this year. We all are rather tired of grays, dirty snow and cold, and long for things to change. It is rather late, but finally, after almost 6 months the snow has finally melted off my flower beds and lawn and I can see growing things starting to come out, particularly in one, sheltered spot by my house. First there were the tulips, sticking out shyly, followed quickly by delphinium foliage and then, I have seen some buds on the trees in the neighborhood getting nice and fat and finally my crocuses started to bloom. I was so very happy to see them!!! I’m also very lucky because in most places in our city there has been no signs of spring yet except for an occasional, very rare pussy willow.. So here it is, for all of us in central and norther Alberta, a little color with renewed hope that soon our world will turn green again.

Cold Foggy Morning – Alberta Landscape Photography

Mac Sokulski — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 16:45:16 +0000

It supposed to be spring. My wife posted a few landscape images from this time last year. What a difference. No snow, warm days, beautiful sunsets. This year, Ms. Spring is a little late. Which still allows for wonderful winter sunrise images. Another foggy morning at the end of March, and very cold. I think the temperatures in the park dipped down to -24C. We were both frozen, but very happy. The world looked absolutely spectacular. Kasia posted some of her images from that day, really great landscape images. I took a little longer to process my images from that day, but I think it was worth it. Enjoy!

Things to Come

Kasia Sokulska — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 15:07:46 +0000

Spring is taking its sweet time to come this year. Things are barely starting to move along and I am waiting very impatiently for the Nature to fully wake up and start working on the colors.. Good thing I was able to take quite a few shots of the blooming trees and buzzing bees (and other insects finding refuge among those blooms, as well as little droplets of water hiding among foliage – you know, I cannot resist these ;D) last year so that I can look at them now in order to help me survive till such time comes again.. I would like to share some of these with you now in hope, they will bring you as much pleasure as they bring me. Enjoy!

Weekend Fun

Mac Sokulski — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:00:59 +0000

Mac here… I have been a little silent on the blog lately, as a week ago, we got a new addition to the family. He’s a rescue german shepherd, lab cross puppy. He’s almost 3 months now, and for the last week or so, has been taking practically all of my attention. As you know, we have rescued 2 little kittens about a year ago, and now with the puppy it a full house. It took the cats about a week to figure out the dog, they are still cautious, but I think they figured out who is the king. So today I took my camera for the first time in a week, shot some playtime in the yard. I have to say, the dog is persistent
