About me
This is my 33rd year in business as owner of Sooter Studio, and I have seen many changes in the industry. From the film days to current digital image capturing there is always the one constant - the need for pleasant relaxed posing and expressions and the need to see the light.
Our recent move out to our present location boasts 3 acres of parkland just on the edge of town, and offers many natural backgrounds and props for unique photographic opportunities.
A long time member of the Professional Photographers of Canada (PPOC), I am currently the chairman of the local (Northwest) branch.
I also belong to the Wedding Photographers International (WPI). Memberships in these associations have afforded me the opportunity to attend conventions and seminars, and allow me to keep up with the latest trends, and keep the excitement level high.
Throughout the years, many photographers have worked and trained under me, and I am proud of their accomplishments. The passion continues to grow, and I enjoy meeting and working with the people I photograph, and I attempt to provide them with distinctive, enduring images that will stand the test of time.
I got into photography because it is fun; I enjoy what I do, and I believe the people I photograph should have a fun time too!
