You may remember this little beauty from a while back... She is an incredibly talented young lady who has recently been nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award (congrats Rebecca!) and I had a fun session with her before the snowflakes started to fly.
We visited three of her favourite murals and tried out three different album photo looks for her new cd, to be released in the coming months. Check out Rebecca's music here!

This is Rebecca - she's a stunning wee girl who writes music, sings, plays piano, and is all-around talented (for reals - check her out here on her YouTube Channel) and I had the pleasure of making some portraits for her last week.

Only people who know me really well know that I've got something against taking photos at shows (other than dance shows, of course.) It comes from an aversion (rooted in my teenage-hood) to doing what all the other chicks with cameras are doing ... although I will fully admit to taking one or two photos of my own feet ... I digress.
Because of my loyalty to my teen self (otherwise known as my immaturity), I wasn't really planning on taking any photos tonight during the ECGAS's first "Edmonton Show" but then there were some dancers on stage so I couldn't help myself. Also performing (and pictured below) - the young Michael Rault, whose tambourine-stomping skills never cease to make me smile, and my new fave rap artist and poet, The Joe.
There were a bunch of really talented and excited young artists performing ~ dancers, musicians, actors ~ and the lobby was full of inspired art, from paintings to photos (yes I do have a couple pieces in the show and this is a shameless plug) and guess what ~ there is another show tomorrow night (Feb 19), so you should go!
. Avenue Theatre ~ doors 6pm ~ show 8pm .

Calling all actors/dancers/performers/people who just want pretty pictures of themselves ~ I am setting up a shoot just for you and not only will it be loads of fun, it'll be a steal of a deal too!
I'll be doing headshot sittings at Dance Alberta - 11205 107th Ave - on Monday, January 25th, 2010, between 1pm & 5pm. Here are the details:
~ a mere $40 gets you . a 20 minute sitting
. an on-line viewing gallery to check out your pics
. touch-ups/finishing of the pic of your choice
. a CD with the high-res digital file *
~ fork out $50, you get all of the above with 2 choices, and both high-res files on the CD
*You can also order prints through me if you like - I work with a professional photo printing company and believe me, London Drugs just can't do your photo justice. Email me for a price list for prints.
So, email me asap at mckeownphotography@gmail.com, or call/text 780.995.7895 to book your sitting.
Looking forward to seeing you!
