Lethbridge Weddings & Portrait Photography by Tanya Plonka

Although I’ve been in the store many times, I found all kinds of new little details during this Kapow Comics, Cards & Games business branding photography session. Kapow recently won first place in the 2018 Best of the Best competition for best hobby store in Lethbridge and needed new photos to update their website and social media accounts. I stopped by on the weekend during a Magic the Gathering tournament and explored the store from top to bottom to capture all the little things that give it the great atmosphere it has.

Normally it takes a lot to convince me to do landscapes (photos are just so much more interesting with people or animals in them!) but when I last went location scouting in the Crowsnest Pass, the autumn colors were so beautiful that I just couldn’t keep my camera down! I went on a mini-hike and barely stopped taking photos along the way. All of the plants were so lush and colorful, and the hazy sky from the BC fires gave such a warm, gorgeous light.

Interested in prints of any of these? Send me a message! Later this year I am hoping to put together a special gallery of prints for sale, so keep an eye out :) (more…)

While the snow has been sporadic so far, one thing that’s more frequent is the ice fog we’ve been getting that’s been coating Southern Alberta in gorgeous, sparkling frost. The frost has been so heavy that Lethbridge is still often white by the afternoon! With a few traces of autumn still left behind and no snow to cover the grass, it made for some beautiful photos.

Finally I bring you the last installment of my City of Lethbridge photos, featuring autumn! Sadly the trees didn’t play nice that year, and some lost their leaves while others were still green, so it was hard to get photos encompassing how beautiful it actually was! However, we had some gorgeous weather with delicious warm light and I was so happy with what I was able to capture.

For the next installment of my City of Lethbridge photos, here is summer! We had an amazing summer and the city put on lots of great events so I had plenty of things to photograph! The great thing about being surrounded by farming communities is that it gives us such a diverse landscape with colorful fields next to urban settings. I love how rich and blue our skies are here all summer.

This is by far the largest post because we had such a long summer and I just couldn’t put my camera down :)

This is the second installment of photos for the City of Lethbridge, featuring my favorite season, spring! (You can see the first post, winter, back here.)

Last year we had a beautiful spring with warm weather and tons of blossoms, so taking photos was a breeze! Though we had a number of cloudy days, there were enough blue skies to offset them. (more…)
