Fashion Show and ING Marathon Weekend - Meet these two people!

Meet Joe. He's 3:15 marathon runner, a father, husband, math teacher, future brother-in-law, and just an all around good man.  Congratulations to Joe for finishing todays ING Edmonton Marathon in exactly 3 hours and 15 minutes, and placed 13th overall.


Joe and his son George celebrate.

George, Joe and his wife, Colleen.



Meet Kathryn Neuman. She's a fashion designer, university student, english major, and friend. This afternoon was her very own fashion show which took place at Maggie Walt Design. Her entire collection is created by her very own hand. Congratulations to Kathryn for putting on this wonderful show of her incredible work!

Below are a few photos from the show. This was the first time I ever shot this kind of gig, and for the most part did a decent job despite the challenging lighting and just the fact I have never shot a fashion show before. I basically had no idea what I was doing and just winged it.  Aside from the challenges, it was so much fun using the available light.

This first photo is Kathryn after the show. 





These next couple of shots is Christian Morneau. He performed the "half time show".  It was a spectacular performance! Christian is actually one of the final ten contestants in an international talent contest. He's a local edmonton performer, and deserves your votes! You can vote for him here, http://www.mtscproductions.com/vote/6104vote.php.









I have another post coming soon this week about two more cool people! Stay tuned!

WOW! Eric, your "challenge" with your first fashion show was more than overcome. The pictures capture everything so perfectly, the expression of the models, the movement as well as the scenery in a captivating way. Thank you also for support me, I am very grateful. Christian Morneau
