Bridget’s Burger is a twist on the classic bacon mushroom burger featuring mouth watering boar bacon, fresh portabello mushrooms, vine ripened tomatoes, and crispy lettuce. Be sure to stop by and check it out. You can catch Bridget on Breakfast Television, weekday mornings from 7-9 and you can also follow Bridget on Twitter along with her fellow host Ryan Jespersen. You can also follow Delux Burger for daily specials and other juicy details. Here are a few photographs from our shoot.

And for the keen eyed observers of my blog, you may notice my brand new logo on these images! Yes it’s finally finished and I’ll be posting more about my new branding soon. I will also start to use it across my website and blog once I get through September and have some free time to start implementing it. In the meantime, I’d love to hear your comments on the new logo.

This time around, we were able to shoot in the brand new Delux Burger location in West Edmonton Mall. It’s a great looking location with over twice the capacity of the original Delux Burger Bar and it features a take-out window which is open until 3:00 am for the late night Bourbon Street crowd looking for a delicious burger. August’s Celebrity Chef is Che Bechard of Baseline Wine & Spirits and his featured burger for the month is the Poutine Burger. This mouthwatering delight is made with 7 oz of Alberta beef, secret sauce, fresh cut french fries, and real curd cheese on a kaiser bun. Truly a Canadian masterpiece. Sarah and I actually stopped by the new location yesterday to partake of this gastronomic delight. Be sure to drop in to either location of Delux Burger during the month of August to try out this delicious burger before it’s gone.

They say a picture is worth a 1000 words and professional photography is one of the best ways to show off your product or service. Don’t leave your next project to chance or rely on bad photography from someone with a point and shoot camera. If you are looking for professional commercial photography for your next project, feel free to contact me with the details and I would be happy to provide you with a quote.

The round-table was led by Erin Rayner from Ed Marketing (an Edmonton-based marketing and event company), who facilitated the discussion. We met in the conference room of the Alberta Women Entrepreneurs – “a not-for-profit organization that provides a range of tools to help women across Alberta succeed in business.” While there, I actually ran into a former colleague who I used to work with at the YMCA back in my life guarding days (I promise to all my readers that I have retired the Speedo!). Erin was joined by Tracey Scarlett – CEO of AWE, Colleen Madsen from Sandler Training, Jessie Radies from the Blue Pear Restaurant, and Pauline Perreault from Jump Outta Bed Workplace Strategies.

All five women discussed what it means to them to be a female entrepreneur, the challenges they’ve faced, and what it takes to succeed in today’s marketplace. It was an interesting discussion and I gained some valuable female insight towards what it takes to succeed in business. Be sure to pick up the April edition of Edmontonians when it hits newsstands to read Erin’s article.

Here are a few photos from our shoot that day:

For the month of March, the Delux Burger Celebrity Chef is Chris Kourouniotis from CK Design Associates. Chris and his team provided the interior design for several of the Century Hospitality Group’s restaurants including Hundred and the newly renovated Century Room. Be sure to check out their new YouTube channel for a peek this newly redesigned hot spot on Edmonton’s southside.

Chris’s burger features a 6oz lean Alberta strip loin steak burger, kopanisti, crispy prosciutto, shredded iceberg lettuce, Mediterranean salsa, on a fresh baked sesame seed bun. Be sure to stop by Delux during the month of March to enjoy this delicious burger that was really ‘well designed’ from the bun up.

On the walk back to the office, I discovered that the law firm where my sister used to work, eventually became Davis LLP and Rachel actually recognized her name and had run across some files with my sister’s name on them. Small world. Afterwards, I also discovered that Rachel’s husband is Tyler Hamilton who was the winner of David Foster’s Star Search competition back in the fall of 2008. I was the official photographer for that event and photographed Tyler during the competition and during his big moment on stage at the Winspear. Again, small world sometimes.

Thanks again to Jennifer, Wendy, and Rachel for a fun shoot. Watch for their story in the April issue of the Edmontonians.

As a reminder. you also still have one week left to try Warren Smith’s Redneck burger featuring bison, smoked pork shoulder, and ham.

If you are looking for commercial photography in Edmonton for your next big project, promotion, or event, please contact me and I’d be happy to provide you with a quote for my services. I offer quality work and quick turnaround times for rush projects.

UPDATE – Ooops. I photographed two chefs in the same session and I got them backwards. Adam is actually going to be the Celebrity Chef for the month of April. Chris Kourouniotis from CK Design Associates is going to be the chef for March. Watch for an updated post on Monday featuring his tasty burger with a Greek influence.

Warren’s “Redneck Burger” features a 7oz bison burger topped with parmesan cheese, fresh ham, smoked pork shoulder butt, onions, tomatoes, lettuce, and mustardnaise (mayo & mustard mixture) on a toasted kaiser bun. One of the great things about photographing this promotion is that I’ve had a chance to try out each of these burgers after I’m done photographing them. Being a big fan of bison meat I really enjoyed Warren’s creation and highly suggest you stop by and try it out.

Here are a few shots from our session. Feel free to contact me if you need professional headshots done for promotional or personal purposes. I have a full suite of lighting gear which I can bring to your location and capture you in your natural environment.
