The Legislative Assembly of Manitoba has a new acting ombudsman.
Marc Cormier was promoted to the role. Mr. Cormier comes from a military background, having served 18 years with the Canadian Armed Forces as a commissioned officer. He achieved the rank of Senior Officer working with the director general of the Canadian Forces Grievance Authority.
It was great to have Marc in the studio for his official portrait!
Ambe was visiting Winnipeg from the North West Territories and wanted to have a professional portrait taken. I alway’s ask what the propose is, as to create a style and match the expression. Ambe’s response “oh I’ve never had one before, and thought it was a good idea” After a little more digging, I found out he he’s heading back to school to become a lawyer. What a great idea to have a professional business portrait just on social media. It will surely open many doors for Ambe!
The legislative grounds make a beautiful backdrop for weddings in Winnipeg. Great architecture, water fountains, and beautiful flowers. I had the pleasure of photographing this sweet couple. The whole wedding party was so easy going and tried a few things I requested. ( Like jumping a few times for that perfect shot)! All the best in love and laughter Jess + Riley!

Safety Day at Lafarge
It was great to photograph Safety Day at Lafarge Canada Inc. on May 10 2018. The turn out was fantastic! Dave, from International Canadian School of Survival had so many great tips, even this city girl learnt a few lesson’s.
The Red Ember treated us to so many different kinds of pizza and salads! apparently it’s the “BEST PIZZA IN THE CITY – SOME RANDOM GUY” and I have to agree, it was EXCELLENT!
The Winnipeg Fire Department demonstrated how they chop up a car, using safety gear. Also, safety ropes used on the job to fight fires. It was mesmerizing to watch, and the clear blue sky made the images pop.
Hilti demonstrated the use of power tools that are dustless on concrete.
Last but not least Maples Chiropractic gave 5 minute neck/back massage.
Special thanks to Lafarge for making Safety Day a huge success!
