Happy Monday morning. We will be taking a break from our usual format to share some very exciting news with you. Ilo has experienced growth. So much growth. We’re excited to soon share with you a whole new avenue that our business will be going down and to introduce you to a wonderful non profit organization that we’ve paired up with. All of these exciting things will come in the next couple of months if you can hold on to your hats for that long. But first;

Ilo Photo is going on tour. We are packing up the whole gang and traveling around North America. Where and when exactly? Well, that’s kind of up to you. We know that we have to be in Edmonton on May 13th and 14th, and we’re visitng friends in and around Alberta a week before and after that.

Take a second and think of your parents’ fireplace mantle or bookshelf, you know, the one with all of the cheesy family pictures sporting huge non-ironic glasses and itchy sweaters. It’s good times to look back at those pictures and have a laugh at what we all once thought was the latest thing, but what if there were no pictures up there to look at?
We heard last year of a photographer-lead global initiative called help portrait and have since wanted to do something similar ourselves. So, with the help-portrait model in mind, we are going on a mission to serve others through the medium of photography. If you or someone you know would love to have some photos but don’t have the means to actually acquire them, drop us a line. If we can get to you, we’ll try our hardest. If you’re from Texas, New York, PEI….let us know. We will be taking Sunday’s off and will primarily do our shoots during the week. We are not meaning to take business away from your local photographers, so if you can, support them first. But,  if you’d like to take advantage of this or know someone who would be a good candidate for a session, get in touch with us by emailing info@ilophoto.ca or phoning 807-630-1285. We’d love to hear from you and of course to see your beautiful faces in front of our camera.

And, because we love photos…here, I might as well show you one that was taken about 5 months ago….my oh my how time flies.
