Ben + Andrea

I met Ben and Andrea when I was in first year of university, which happens to be the same time that they met. Looking back, I would never have guessed that I would be the one photographing their wedding. It was such an enjoyable and emotional event for everyone involved - even I was crying during the toasts! Congratulations you two!

Postcard Design

Stillwood is starting up a new leadership program next summer and needed a informational postcard made up to promote it. I was really stuck on what to do for the design, and then one morning it just seemed to flow right out of me. Guess that's how design works sometimes. 

All the photos, as well as the design, was done by moi.

The 10 Min Photo Shoot

I met these families at Stillwood over the summer. Both asked me to take a quick family portrait for them to use for Christmas cards. With busy camp schedules and squirmy, though adorable children, the goal was to make the photo session be as quick and easy as possible. So with that, I took on the 10 min photo shoot challenge and these shots are the results.

July 1st Wedding

This wedding was a joy to shoot. The wedding party was so interesting and the bride and groom had an incredibly defined style which was reflected in every aspect of their wedding day. This day was not only special because of the subjects I was shooting, but because I was second shooter for Dylan and got to tryout my 55-300mm telephoto lens for the first time.

Something New

Meet my new blog: Art + The Aerialist.

As this blog, Kat Grabowski: Art + Photography, has become devoted to being my online portfolio, I found the need to create something new to act as a more loose interpretation of my creativity. Art + The Aerialist does just that with posts about art, design, and life.

TWU Orchestra & Choir

This small selection of photos represent a few of my favourite shots from the TWU Orchestra and Choir concert that took place on Good Friday. I have very little previous experience with photographing concerts, so this was a really great learning experience. I've come to decide that the photographers greatest challenge is to be as inconspicuous as possible. Maybe I should invest in some camo.

Chelsea

This is Chelsea. She's my roommate and art buddy. Her mom requested head shots for grad announcements, so we went out and snapped these. I used my own camera (Nikon 3100) for the shots where she's wearing orange and my work camera (Canon 5D) for the shots that she's wearing purple, both with a 50mm lens. It's not super obvious after editing, but the 5D is just a dream to shoot with. It really makes me dream of an upgrade.
