Hope Litwin — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 18:26:21 +0000

Every year for the past 4 years we have had the distinct honor of photographing the annual YWCA Women of Distinction award winners, and every year I am introduced to women who exude excellence, grace, passion, drive, ambition and intelligence. I love doing these sessions and although they are short, I feel it is so important to celebrate their beauty with a special photo session.

So a huge congrats to the winners for 2010; Dr. Bonnie Lee, Mallory Kristjanson, Nadine Chandler and Dr. Tracy Edwards.

Shadow of the Bridge – Lethbridge High Level Bridge Centennial Celebration [ litwin photography - Lethbridge Photographer ]

Hope Litwin — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 02:47:32 +0000

After shooting Lance and Diana’s wedding on Saturday the family headed out to the coulees to shoot some photos of the lighting of the high level bridge for the Shadow of The Bridge Centennial Party. It was pretty neat to see the bridge in a new light (pardon the pun) and it was even a bit windy and cool out so the mosquitoes stayed away!

James did quite a bit of shooting, but I got a few shots in myself and thought I’d post one here! In full size, the detail is quite cool!!

Enjoy,

Edmonton Weekend – August 28th, 2009

Hope Litwin — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 05:51:12 +0000

We are up in Edmonton to shoot a wedding tomorrow and we are so excited! we popped out for the night to cruise around town and visit our old stomping grounds. James and I used to live here in Edmonton about 5-6 years ago and it doesn’t seem like much has changed, although, we lived here in the dead of winter so we have actually not seen the city in “summer” mode!

We took a short trip out to the Legislature building to shoot a few shots for fun and WOW is that place gorgeous at night. there is a huge water feature that people can wade in and it was such a beautiful night there were tons of kids playing in the waterfalls and fountains.

Stay tuned for photos from Amanda and Dean’s wedding, in the meantime, here is a shot just for fun from tonight that I shot quickly.

April & The Challenger – August 23rd, 2009 [litwin photography - lethbridge photographer]

Hope Litwin — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 04:02:40 +0000

Today I had an awesome 2 hour session with April, her husband Brian and their GORGEOUS Hemi Orange Dodge Challenger. This shoot was done to celebrate Brian and April’s anniversary and I loved every minute of it. These two let me be as creative and odd as I needed to be in my process to make some amazing photos for them. Luckily it was a Sunday and the city is all but shut down on days like today, we had tons of privacy for the most part and still got to shoot in some fun locations.

I absolutely love it when a strong, beautiful woman like April can model for me because her strength and confidence radiate through the session and really allow me to think outside the box and not have to worry so much about the “poses”. Brian also made a wicked assistant, forever grabbing new shoes and buffing out the finger prints (and thumbprints lol) off of the car.

Thanks a lot for an amazing afternoon guys, I had so much fun and can’t wait to get to the editing of this session, the photos look awesome from what I have seen so far!
