Randy Plett has been a professional photographer for over three years and has been shooting stock photos for over five years. He started his photography career while studying fine arts and graphic design in college. "As a designer, I needed photos and clients didn't always have the budget to hire a professional," he explains, "I was amazed at the results I could get with my own simple equipment." It was a naturally smooth transition from design to photography after two years as a freelance designer. "Stock photos are primarily used by graphic designers, so you need know what they want, and how they can use it."

Randy is very passionate about creating unique, beautiful images that inspire people, hence developing the name 'effinity.' "I'm always in love with a good photo, and a missed opportunity can break your heart." He explains the word 'effinity' as "somewhere between an F-stop, an affinity, and infinity."

He is also a professional photo editor, being a self taught master of Adobe Photoshop. "I've been a photographer for five years, but I've been using Photoshop for 15 years," he says."We want our models to look naturally beautiful by using very subtle image enhancement."

If he isn't shooting, editing, or just thinking about photography, he is interested in philosophy, the environment, and loves hanging out with his seven year old daughter Chloe.

Jayna Marie Bussiere has been a professional freelance makeup artist for three years. She studied makeup artistry at Blanche Macdonald in Vancouver, B.C. and her work has been turning heads ever since. "It's important to be professional but you should have fun at the same time" she says, "I love what I do – that's why you will always see me with a smile on my face!"

After working with Randy on a number of photo shoots, Jayna naturally began taking more creative direction. Soon, Randy proposed a partnership with Jayna, and her role as project coordinator was established. Now, in addition to doing hair and makeup, Jayna works hard at finding models, locations and making Randy's concepts come to life. Most importantly, Jayna says "my job is to keep the atmosphere light. I want to make sure a photo shoot is the best possible experience for everyone involved!"

When she isn't with a brush in her hand, or a phone to her ear, Jayna enjoys traveling, visiting with family, and playing with her chihuahua named Monkey. See more of her work at JaynaMarie.com

Monkey is a three year old purebred chihuahua. You will often see him hanging out on set or on location as the company mascot and head of security. His bark isn't as big as his bite, and he enjoys long walks, and of course, treats.
