I daydream about taking certain pictures. Every time I drive down Whyte Ave I can’t help but daydream about pictures (maybe don’t drive behind me on Whyte Ave). Everywhere you look there’s great textures, lights, and interesting backdrops just begging to be used for pictures. Fast forward to a couple days ago when I convinced my friend Linda to be my model for my Whyte Ave photo shoot…the photos that have been floating around my head for a couple years now.
I couldn’t have asked for a better model. I told her I wanted her hair and dress to be “flowy summer” lol. When I picked her up, the vision I had for hair/make-up/and dress was totally met in every way. Thank you Linda for being such a great model :0)
Above: This was the only picture I managed to click off. We came around the corner to see about a hundred (or so it seemed) bikers and Linda so bravely hammed it up for me as I clicked and power walked out of the shot!
This final image is in honour and memory of Linda’s brother Rob. Linda’s tattoo is a tribute to her brother. I had the privilege of taking these pictures of Linda on Rob’s birthday.

Awsome pictures, loved them!!
Wow. I love all of these… particularly the dandelion, and the black/whites, and the “serious” noise one!!
These are amazing… as usual. You are a true talent Christine.
Great work–captured great paradoxes, textures, and strong images. There are some cool narrative and visual layers in these.
You have true talent, Chrissy. These are beautiful.
Thank you for your comments, it means so much to me!
Christine….you keep getting better and better!
Those are AMAZING and so inspirational (I have bride and groom who want to walk Whyte for photos!).
I love the first one (so awesome) and the one with the dandelion, oh and the last one!
They are fabulous!
Love, love, love ‘em. Hard to pick a fav but I do get a total kick outta that first pic as my Dad’s a biker dude. Lots of memories on a bike. Fab job as always. ;0)
Wonderful pics Christine!!
Wow, these are great!!
Positively inspired, Christine. You never cease to amaze me.
These were so fun to do! I am so happy with each picture!! You truly made my day that day and it was one that needed some lifting and made me feel beautiful! Thank you for helping me with that Christine!! Your truly one talented person!
You take such wonderful shots Christine! And Linda was a perfect model for it! Just beautiful!
Great ideas on the location…such neat places on Whyte.
Very talented girl!
[...] of a couple at sunset, and these images have been floating around in my head for years. Like my Whyte Ave pictures I decided to make these pictures happen, and the right people would come to me to help me with these [...]
Your work inspires me! Thank you for the gifts you share!
