Those Wedding Day Disposable Cameras!

Wedding season is upon us! As I write this, soon-to-be newlyweds across the country are sitting down and planning their own ceremonies. If you’ve ever been to a wedding and walked away thinking to yourself that it was one of the best weddings you’ve been do, you probably know that it’s the details that make for a great wedding.

As a photographer and as someone who is currently working on planning her own big day, I know that one of the few things that lasts after a ceremony are those beautiful photographs. But I also know wedding photographers are expensive and it can be hard to look at that bill for several thousand dollars and not think to yourself, “there has to be a cheaper way.” Continue reading “Those Wedding Day Disposable Cameras!”

Emotional Support in Small Businesses

At the beginning of the year, I took some time to map out my blog post schedule. In my effort to blog with more regularity, I sat down and planned what days and which topics would be published all the way through to the end of June.

When it came to this week’s post, my schedule read the vague and daunting subject of, “Emotional Support in Small Businesses.” I looked at this topic and immediately said to myself, “I do not know where to begin with this one.”

So, I texted Leonie, complained to her that I had delivered an impossible topic to myself, and lamented that I just didn’t feel like writing this one. After a bit of back and forth, I was more at ease, relieved that my friend was there to make me feel better and that she understood how tough it was.

And though she didn’t know it, she gave me my article with that one small gesture. Continue reading “Emotional Support in Small Businesses”

5 Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Travel Pics!

As a devotee of Instagram, I know how it usually is when it comes to travel photography. We snap a million great photos, eagerly post a few to social media to share with our followers, and then we let it drop, except for the occasional Throwback Thursday.

Your photos can do so much more for you!

Travel can be one of the most rewarding experiences we can treat ourselves to. Learning about other cultures and ways of life can humble you, expand your mind and heart, and make you appreciate both the things you have at home and the things you don’t.

If you leave your photos only on social media, you’re missing out. Your home’s walls, shelves, and niches all deserve to showcase your travel memories and provide you that daily opportunity to reconnect with great experiences. Continue reading “5 Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Travel Pics!”

How to Save Water-Damaged Film

In 2013, Calgary experienced a pretty devastating flood. Homes lying in the floodplain at best had their basements filled with water, and at worst were rendered too damaged to be livable.

Though it is one of the worst places to keep one’s film, many had left their negatives in boxes in their basements, leaving them to get water-logged and if left untreated, completely ruined. For some professional photographers I know, this meant losing a huge chunk of their photographic history. One in particular saw his entire portfolio of images vanish when someone trying to be helpful said she could save them, but in the end just made things worse.

Human / Nature, a photographic exhibition by Jillian Logee

I am very excited to invite all of you to my first solo exhibition: Human / Nature.

Human / Nature is a look at the way people and nature interact. Through photographs, this exhibit examines the way we rewrite the landscape to suit ourselves, forcing flora & fauna to adapt, and the way nature reclaims that which we’ve abandoned, giving our structures a new, feral life.
