First off… I have to give a huge congrats to Canada and all the other athletes for an amazing Olympics!  What an inspiring two weeks!  I was able to keep up a bit while in Italy, and then took in the closing ceremonies as soon as I got home.  I’m not sure why, but these Olympics really demonstrated how important the games are to us.  Not just Canada but the world.  I was so proud that everything came together and Canada did an amazing job!!  I miss them already:):):)

Now finally I get to post this!  Should have been up in January but unfortunately I have been doing a lot of procrastinating:):)  I am indeed looking for some great help in 2010 and beyond.  This is a tough one because I’m not 100% sure of exactly who and what I am looking for:):)  I’m just gonna post this and see what cool stuff comes my way!  My specialty in my past corporate life was recruitment and I never thought I would be going back to that, LOL!  So I will break it into two parts… 1) internship and 2) second shooting.

1) Internship

I guess one exciting thing I can announce is I already have one intern for 2010… welcome aboard Jen… so excited!

I plan to step up my game even more this year and I have no interest in doing it all on my own.  I’m the kind of guy who loves to work and collaborate with others so I’m so excited to see what grows from this! One of my most important goals is to have more face time with my clients… getting to know them better and not to get stuck in front of the computer all year!  I want to take photos damn it!  LOL!  It’s not definite yet but here is a list of what one could be doing in this position…

Here is some criteria to who and what I am looking for…  If you are interested in photography, design, marketing or even administrative work and think you want to break out your creative side, then great!  You will get all of it:):)  I would say (and this is my opinion) that a position like this would be an alternative to going to school.  You would be working with me all year, learning and practicing everything I know:)  I will be taking the time to mentor you in photography and the business.  At this point it is an intern position which means no cashola.  You would need to be available for 15 to 20 weekend weddings this year and anywhere between 8 to 20 extra hours a week in the studio or other location.  Sound fun yet!?!

NOTE: If you have already established a business of your own, have a blog, book weddings and other photography gigs… you need not apply. Sorry peeps!  For these positions, I am looking for a couple people who can put all their effort and energy into growing my business and not their own at this point.

The intern positions will last for this year and will likely grow into something even cooler like associate photographer positions in 2011.

Interested now!?!  Well please send me an email to curtismoore@moorephotography.ca or give me a call at 204-688-4186.  I can’t wait to hear from you!

2) Second Shooters

What a great way to learn and have fun doing it!  Any weekend I have off during the year you can be sure I am spending it shooting with another photographer!  This is of course less of a commitment… it could be just one wedding out of the year.  You would of course need to meet a certain level of photography knowledge plus have the needed equipment.  If you have any questions about second shooting and would be interested… please send me an email to curtismoore@moorephotography.ca or call me at 204-688-4186.

Here is some info from The Becker about second shooting that may help… http://www.thebschoolblog.com/index.cfm?postID=24

Thanks so much for stopping by and I can’t wait to work with some awesome people in 2010 and beyond!!!

Oh yah!  If anyone who reads this blog that might know anyone interested and good for this, please send them my way!!!  Thanks!

Here is an awesome video I just saw so I’m posting it for fun! Enjoy!

What a perfect and beautiful day this was… Carly & Brian were adorable and the wedding party was a blast, thanks y’all!  I started out with the girls for a nice relaxing morning and headed over for some shots of the guys chillin’ in the pool.  Then it was off to Breezy Bend for the ceremony.  This was my first time at Breezy and wow… what a beautiful place!  Now I really want to get a round of golf in, LOL!  After the ceremony, we headed over to Assiniboine park for some party fun and then made a dirt road stop before we returned for the reception.  It was good food, good drinks and good friends into the evening and we even managed to sneak outside for a little romantic sunset session.  Thanks so much for the great day you two!  Have fun and enjoy!

Hey everyone… so I blinked and it’s already June!  Wow, wasn’t there snow on the ground not to long ago?!?  Wedding bookings for 2010 have really pick up since mid May so it’s time to post my availability:)

When I met with a soon-to-be Bride and Groom last week, they said the coolest thing I had ever heard… “I would rather choose my photographer than a photographer choose me”… what a great thought! 2010 dates are filling up fast for many photographers and it’s never to early for any couple to start looking.  Your wedding photography is definitely the most important choice out of everything involved with your wedding day. (I could be bias though, LOL).

So all you beautiful engaged couples… don’t wait too long to get out and meet some of us:)  I would love to hear about your wedding plans and always have time to meet and chat!  Click on one of the links below to see what dates I have available for 2010.  If I am already booked for your date (I wish I could be in two places at once!), please get in touch and I would love to give you some other awesome wedding photographers to check out.  If anyone out there has any questions about anything wedding and/or photography, please send me an email or give me a call:)  Thanks!

My lovely baby girl:)

I am in need of a couple girls and one guy for a very cool shoot.  You will have your make-up and hair all did up by the pro’s plus fitted with a beautiful wedding dress! (Not the guy, LOL)  Then all you have to do is rock out in front of the camera, it will be a blast!  You would also need to be available on a Wednesday or Thursday in May during the morning and afternoon.  Please call me at 688-4186 or email me using the link at the top of this blog.  Thanks so much!

ALSO…

I am in need of any cool piece of furniture (Couch or Chair) that you would be willing lend for this session.  Specifically I am looking for any older looking wooden furniture with a damask type material.  The furniture would be safely transported to and from the session location very carefully and treated with great care.

Thanks again and everyone have a great Easter weekend!!!
