Winter is coming.... GBP Creative Photography and Video

Well, it's mid-November, so whether you're ready for it or not, winter is upon us....

We thought instead of fighting it we'd take a minute to reminisce about all the awesome that comes along with winter...and what better way to do it, than look back at one of our favourite assignments from last February.

We had a client from oversees, come to the Yukon wanting to experience some truly "northern" experiences...So, what better way than to take a Helicopter ride through the mountains, followed by ice climbing at the oh-so-awesome Equinox, dog sledding at Muktuk, and some Rendezvous festivities...

These are a few of our favourite shots, and we're hoping that they'll help you stop fighting the winter, and get pumped for all the fun stuff that can come out of it...

Fat Tire Ballerinas Shoot-GBP Yukon Photographer

Some of you may remember our GBP Adventure Pants Extravaganza contest we had a few months back where we had people submit stories of their favourite Yukon adventure activity to do with their family/friends...well it turns out there's a lot of people wearing adventure pants around here, and so the job of picking a winner turned out to be a lot harder than we thought...

In the end, we decided to go with the group who made us laugh out loud and left us thinking "yup that's gonna be a fun one to shoot..." And I don't mean to brag, but I think we made a great choice...

So a couple weekends ago when the weather was lovely, we bundled up on a Sunday morning and headed out to do a shoot with the winners, 'The Fat Tire Ballerinas'.  This is a group of girls who love fat tire bikes and head out in these cold Yukon winters year after year.

These are exactly the types of shoots we love here at GBP...getting a group of hilarious people together, all coming from different backgrounds, careers, etc. over their crazy love of something...in this case, a sport where you get decked out in full gear, and then go ripping down a slippery, snow covered hill on two wheels....these ladies were both badass, and awesome in every way!

So thanks again to all of the Fat Tire Ballerinas who made their way out on an early (for some of them, TOO early) shoot and who have now left us both scheming how we can get our hands on a pair of those bikes...it looks too rad to pass up...
