Last week I’ve had a great pleasure working with a beautiful model, Liz Maria. The shoot was inspired by the concept of royalty. After all, every woman is a queen. Our choice of location fell on historic Rundle Ruins dating back to 1894 in Ramsay, Calgary. To create the look, we teamed up with Glam And Beyond for hair and make up; raided Liz’s closet for the jewelled dresses and nearby stores for crowns.

On the day of the shoot, we were blessed with sunshine, which provided for some gorgeous, luminous light. At the same time, the cold northern winds started to pick up, which certainly sped things up for us.

As I leave you to enjoy the images, I’d love to share a few lines from the poem by Rachel Thomas “Our Lady Divine”:

Hearts catch alight, bewitched like the night

Scorched with desire and feeding her fire…

As moths to a flame, we’re pawns in her game

Seduced by the gleam, oh shimmering Queen …
