Free Photo Session Applications **CLOSED**

Applications for the 2010 Photo-A-Day mini Sessions are all filled up this year.  Keep your eyes open for the results and be sure to apply in May 2011 for the next round of these awesome sessions!

Welcome to my Blog!

Thank you for welcoming me into your lives to capture the fleeting and precious moments surrounding you everyday. Whether it is a baby's first few days in our world, a special milestone for your child, or the beginning of a life together with your partner, my passion is transforming those wonderful moments into memories that you and your loved ones can cherish for a lifetime.

Life is a celebration of these moments, and there is little more special than being able to hang on to each and every one of them. These are more than just pictures, they are a window into your amazing life!

One of my good friends once described me as a "lifeographer" instead of a photographer, and I believe that is what I truly am. I'm not out there to simply take pictures, but to freeze time for a moment so you can look back and feel the life and love surrounding you.    ~ Justin

Brittany and Lance | Engagement Session in Jasper

Hey Everyone!  Just a quick note first: this will be my last post until September 3rd as I’ll be away from the office.  This also means that any gallery/prints/proofs etc will be made available only after this time unless we made other arrangements, and my internet access my be patchy, but I’ll try to respond to any inquiries as soon as I can!

Brittany Lance Saskatoon Engagement Jasper Photographers Session JG Photography

But before I head out, let me introduce to you Brittany and Lance!  As you will soon see, their session rocked beyond belief!  Why you ask?  Well, first because they are awesome.  Second, because they brought me up to Jasper, Alberta for their engagement session!!  We basically had 1 full day and 2 half days of shooting and they were down for everything – to shooting in a burnt forest, to going into the middle of a set of rapids, to running around in some awesome moss, to driving his Mustang into a lake, to shooting at 10:45 at night and more!  We stayed at the sweet Patricia Lake Bungalows (Sue, your hospitality was unrivaled!) and had a blast together!  I can’t wait for their wedding next June!

August 20, 2010 - 9:52 am Juli - Love the photos! especially the ones with the car... & that one with the mustang car on the gravel & water with the mountains in the background looks like it should be for an ad to sell mustangs... it makes me one to buy one.

August 20, 2010 - 3:45 pm Darryl - Wow! The scenery combined with the easy going pictures makes these perfect guys. The lighting makes Sally look as if you just bought her yesterday! These are really really nice guys, good thinking on going to Jasper.

August 20, 2010 - 9:42 pm Verlee and Glenn - awesome pictures. I really liked the bad ass picture. Laying in the flowers on the side of the mountain was breathtaking. The ring in the burnt forest is another spectacular picture. Can't wait to see more, they are absolutely gorgeous.

Miren and Geoff = Hitched!

Miren Madariaga Geoff Luczka Saskatoon Wedding Photographers JG Photography

I bet I’m going to start sounding like a broken record, but Miren and Geoff and crazy awesome and super amazing!  They completely rocked their engagement session and their wedding was even better!  They are such a fun couple, and super nice: Miren has a heart of gold and Geoff is the kind of guy that would give you the shirt right off his back.  It was a real honor to capture and experience this special beginning with them.  And check out all of Miren’s creative touches – from the shoes to the flowers to the cake, she definitely has that special tough.  It was a blast getting to know you two – congratulations, and may you two have a lifetime of awesomeness!

Oh, and this time I did an even bigger blog post!  It contains 114 images?!?!  Crazy, but there was just too much good stuff.  So once again, to avoid my website grinding to a hault everytime someone goes onto the blog you have to click the “More” link right under this to see their beautiful day!  But I think this will be the last time I do this – my blog has a problem inserting more than 30 pictures and it takes forever!  Anyways … here are the pictures, just click the (more…) button: (more…)

Jasmine Jay | Off to University

Laurie Jay Graduation Photography Saskatoon Photography JG Photography

I first got to know the Jay’s through basketball as the official photographer for the Prairie Dog Classic, grabbing a few shots of Connor flying through the air.  Back then the Jay’s were awesome: super nice and friendly and always nice to be around – and nothing has changed!  I was so happy when I was asked to take Connor’s older sister, Jasmine’s, grad pictures!   Not only is this family awesome to be around, but they are definitely photogenic!  I had a blast with you guys that day!  Can’t wait to work with you guys again in the future!  Congrats Jasmine and good luck with university next year!

Married: Alex and Reagan!

Raegan Alex Saskatoon Wedding Photography

Have I been avoiding posting weddings as of late?  Yes, yes I have – mainly because it takes soooo long to put a blog post together from them!  But with the weddings piling up (so far 8 weddings unposted, urgh!) I thought a great way to break into things is with Alex and Reagan beautiful and amazing wedding day!

Raegan and Alex are an amazing couple of people!  They are very down to earth, and the kindness within them that they show to others is contagious.  And the quiet, gentle way that they love each other is truly beautiful.  It was a real gift to be a part of their day; a special day not only bringing together two families but also two cultures along with their own unique and special traditions.

Congratulations you two, and hopefully we see each other in the Philippines next year!

Heather and Geoff | Engaged

Saskatoon Engagement Photography Saskatoon Photographers

Meet Heather Baldwin and Geoff Kearney: two amazing people who are incredibly in love.  Heather booked me for their wedding over the phone without meeting with me in person last year – something I normally do not do.  But something clicked when we talked – I knew that I would just love these two as soon as I met them.  And when the day came, I most definitely did!  They are both super interesting and “worldly” and easy going and fun.  Their engagement was a blast!  And I can’t wait to share with you all their wedding at the Top of the Inn!!

Family: Rowenna and Bodhi | Vancouver

Saskatoon Family Photographers Gryba Vancouver White Rock Photography

A few weeks ago I was up in Vancouver, British Columbia, for some photography and decided to pay my awesome cousin Rowenna and her super cool kid, Bodhi, a little visit.  We always have so much fun when we are together and this time I decided to bring along one camera and one prime lens and grab some shots of them throughout our day together.  We started out in Granville Island out in Vancouver and ended out on the beach in White Rock.  It was an awesome day spent with two ultra awesome people!  I love the summer!

Danielle and Chad | Gonna Be Married

Hagen Engagement Photography Saskatoon Photographers

Danielle and Chad were great!  Super awesome people, fun to be around, super easy to work with, and adventurous, down for all of my ideas, with plenty of ideas themselves.  And Chad is really into photography too, which resulted in many gear-talk interludes during which I’m sure Danielle wanted to throw canola at us, haha, but we had such a great time!  It was supposed to rain that day (like with most of the days this last month!) but we went out anyways and it turned into a great evening with some of the best light in a while towards the end of the session!  Can’t wait for your guys wedding!

The Lorenso Kids | Bonnyville

Bonnyville Photographers Family Kids Photography in Bonnyville

Finally, this is my last session back from when I was up in Bonnyville for a week a while back (yup, crazy behind, but I’m getting there …) – it a great session it was!  These kids are great – so full of energy and life and laughs!  We basically went out exploring for a few hours, around their amazing yard, down by the lake and playground, and out in some fields and forests!   Just going around, exploring and discovering: just the way kids do things.  It was perfect and we all had an absolute blast!  Can’t wait to get your hardcover book out to you guys!

Vanessa | Graduation

Graduation Photographers Saskatoon Grad Photography

You may briefly remember Vanessa from the family portion of the shoot I did last year for Matt Schneider’s grad, but today it is all about Vanessa!  Coming out of Grade 12 as an awesome person with mad soccer skills, we had a lot of fun on our shoot (and missed a torrential downpour literally by seconds, haha!).  Congrats Vanessa!

Sawatsky Family Session

Sawatsky Family Photography Saskatoon Photographers

Four boys, including twins.

Some would be scared.

But not Megan and Kurtis Sawatsky!  Nope – every minute I spent with this family I could feel the love and awesomeness  between everyone (amidst some roughly orchestrated chaos – I have 2 brothers myself, I know all about this, haha!).  This family is just awesome!  Once everyone was over the fact that this was not a “sit down, chin up, look here” session, the personalities started coming out and we just had a blast (even if I had to pick on Carson sometimes, lol).

Hopefully these pictures do a little justice to that awesomeness! For all the shots in the blog preview, hit the link: (more…)

July 21, 2010 - 7:55 am Megan Sawatsky - Yeah Justin! I love what we see so far! I am really excited to see the rest of the photos and can hardly wait to get them up in our home. Thank you for such a fun and comfortable photo shoot. Our entire family really enjoyed your creativity and spirit. Looking forward to hearing from you. Megan

July 21, 2010 - 1:04 pm Justin - Hey Megan! Thanks - I can't wait to show you the rest of your pictures too, I had a blast with you all.

July 22, 2010 - 11:34 am Kurtis T - Justin, I had a lot of fun taking these photos. I can't wait to see the rest of the fun we had. You captured the boys awesome.

July 29, 2010 - 12:40 am jesslaine - your fam portraits are always second to none justin. sweet job.

Dustin | Graduation | Life

North Battleford Graduation Photographers Saskatchewan Photography

Hey all!

First off … I am sorry … I tried so hard to keep up with my blogging … and now I am more behind than ever!  But that stops now and I am dedicated to continuing on with my blogging!  3 times a week for until September I hope :-D

Now to the important stuff: meet Dustin Seib.

On my blog you see him as an awesome young guy from Battleford, Saskatchewan, who is a crazy awesome mountain biker, has a truck with a killer stereo system, and just graduated high school with all of his friends – out into a world of possibility and opportunity.

But I’ve known Dustin in a way for many years and am proud to call him and his family friends.  And to me, Dustin is a hero.

To hear his amazing story and see the awesome smile he now has on his face, hit the link: (more…)
