Have you ever wondered where the phrase, "Watch the birdie!" comes from?
Traditionally, photographers would use a brass bird to attract attention and have their subject look directly into the camera.
This tactic had stunning results and set a standard for professional photography that has lasted to this day.
Our name, "birdy", is a nod to this historical brass bird.
Like that bird, we are attracting attention! Our quick and convenient professional photography at an affordable rate has everyone in Calgary watching - and chirping.
we are inclusive.
we are an ally.
we are part of the community.

photo booth services
If you ask us, every event needs a photo booth. From weddings and corporate functions to birthday parties and school carnivals, we have a photo booth for that!
We can re-create a photography studio at your event and bring a professionally trained photographer to capture and print fine art images of your guests.
We also like to go retro with an enclosed, automated photo booth that prints classic photo strips for guests to take home.
The photo booth options are endless!
