Hello Folks! Due to a series of small misfortunes, my Monday announcement post is being grouped with my usual Friday blog post.

Saskatoon Blitz is almost here, and I am so excited to finally be able to announce that Katie Deobald Photography will be offering not one but TWO professional cosplay photography mini shoot events at Saskatoon Blitz.

For $25.00 you will get 5 poses. After the convention, You will receive one web resolution preview copy of each, and you can pick one of your images to receive in high resolution to use and print anywhere.

These events will be happening in the tropical courtyard on the main floor near the restaurant, and they are first come first serve so be sure to have $25.00 in cash on hand.

The Cosplay Photography mini shoot is happening on Saturday 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM and Sunday 3:30 PM – 4:30 PM.

I am so excited to be offering this mini-shoot event, but there is so much to see at Blitz I really recommend checking out Saskblitz.com for more information on the other panels and activities taking place.

I am very proud to be a geek, and to be a part of this team, and I can’t wait to share some awesome photos from the event with you guys next week!

Photographers Log – Week 20

[dcs_img_left_ngg pos=”left” framed=”black” lightbox=”true” mright=”15″ w=”267″ h=”400″ pid=”692″]

Hello Saskatoon! At last, winter is truly gone and behold! The garden is planted. This was taken a day or two after we planted our strawberries. It is so wonderful to have growing things in the yard this year.

With only a few weeks left until Saskatoon Blitz I may be moving the date for these regular updates around a little until things settle down.

More interesting photography to share this week. I’m not sure what kind of retro bug got into my head when I did my self portrait this week but it is certainly unique from all the others thus far.

Photographers Log Week 18

[dcs_img_left_ngg pos=”left” framed=”black” lightbox=”true” mright=”15″ w=”400″ h=”267″ pid=”672″]

Hello Saskatoon!

I had a great time last week at the Geek Summit in Regina. We met many lovely people, all of whom I hope to see again in June at Saskatoon Blitz.

My costume for the event was Melisandre from Game of Thrones.

Version 2.0 of that costume will be seen next week in my photos from Free Comic Book Day.

Also included in my images this week is an in progress shot of our garden project this year. (Thank you again to my best friend for bringing the extra power tools and helping with construction. You can see her in the progress shot below.)

Sadly there are no photos of the look of maniacal glee I had while drilling drainage holes in our garden barrels, but images of the finished product will be coming next week.

Photographers Log – Week 11

[dcs_img_left_ngg pos=”left” framed=”black” lightbox=”true” mright=”15″ w=”400″ h=”267″ pid=”617″ desc=”Next week, I will take a cheery self portrait. Honest.”]

Hello Saskatoon! I am sorry for the delay in this week’s update. It has been a busy week, and our car getting stuck on a snowbank Friday certainly did not help matters!

(Thank god for helpful neighbours — We were able to get it pulled out without having to call for a tow.)

This week I have been doing a lot of work with my new 50mm prime, and I absolutely love it.

Any Saskatoon Photographers considering a new lens should look into the Canon 1.8. It makes a great walk-around lens if you don’t want to be lugging your zooms around all the time!

I did an entire shoot with it on Saturday and I am so happy with the results. Images from that will be appearing soon as part of my new client guide! I can’t wait to share them with you.

In other news, I am putting together some geeky wedding freebies for anyone looking to create their own wedding invitations, so you can expect to be seeing these images and possibly some of my images from last week as well reappearing with some modifications in the near future.

Photographers Log – Week 10 – Steampunk & Pet Photography Edition!

[dcs_img_left_ngg pos=”left” framed=”black” lightbox=”true” mright=”15″ w=”400″ h=”267″ pid=”609″ desc=”Ozymandias, King of Kings. Gaze upon his works, ye mighty, and despair.”] Hello Saskatoon! Another week, another seven photos to share. This week we have a new portrait of Ozymandias, the studio mascot.

He is a nocturnal creature and not fond of bright lights, but he will occasionally stay still long enough for me to take a shot when bribed with a treat.

His current aliases include The Great and Powerful Oz, or just “Oz” for short.

[dcs_img_right_ngg pos=”right” framed=”black” lightbox=”true” mright=”15″ w=”400″ h=”267″ pid=”608″] This image just makes me happy. I love steampunk, and each image in this series seems to me like there should be a character to go with it.

Any writers in the audience who care to describe some characters or a story to go with these please comment! I would love to hear what you come up with.

Happy Valentines! Photographers Log – Week 7

[dcs_img_left_ngg pos=”left” framed=”black” lightbox=”true” mright=”15″ w=”267″ h=”400″ pid=”591″] Happy Valentines! The image on the left showcases something interesting my husband and I discovered this week — My ring fits, perfectly, on a Canadian penny (though sadly it shifted a touch was I took this photo) and his fits precisely on a dollar. I thought it would make the perfect image for the occasion.

[dcs_img_right_ngg pos=”left” framed=”black” lightbox=”true” mright=”15″ w=”267″ h=”400″ pid=”593″] Now, this next image requires something of an explanation. For several years the hanging lamp in my kitchen has been home to this pile of dollar store toy magnets. I am not sure there was a reason we put them there, and I sometimes wonder if I will remember to take them with us if we ever move.

Photographers Log – Week 6

I was visiting 8th Street Comics this week when I saw the most exciting sign on the side of the building. It seems that 1006 8th St E is now also home to a fashion and bridal boutique specializing in Pakistani and Indian clothing. What an incredible shop — I already had a salwar from a friend’s wedding a few years ago, but when I saw the lovely piece that features not once but twice in my images this week, I knew I had to have it. So beautiful! If you haven’t been, I highly recommend stopping by H.A Collections.

Also featured in my images this week is a goofy sneak peek at a recent shoot with talented choir director Michael Harris. More images from that are soon to come, but this was one of my favourites.
