Secrets. I’m the worst person in the world to have to keep a secret yet I find myself in all kinds of situations where everything photo related is a secret. Leslie’s engagement shoot was a surprise for Chris and it has been one of the hardest to keep so far simply because I really wanted […]
I don’t know where to begin. Wedding season 2010 started last Saturday with Kate + BJs Shore Club wedding in Hubbards and I’ll tell you what…they set the bar for the next 34 weddings that follow this year. It was perfect. All of it. The people, the venue, the music, the Crazy Booth…and of course […]
These days I tell Lola not to touch my camera gear but she just can’t resist the urge to reach out and drop a finger on it and sooner or later have it flying through the air. Sometimes we just do really stupid things and we can’t help it. This morning I got an email […]
I knew from the second these guys got out of the car that it was going to be a fun shoot. They had me with their new Converse Chucks and Amanda’s incredible Vicky Mina makeup artistry. It had the potential to be huge but we got delayed by a few things…like Mall Cops, wrong turns […]
Its the people that make weddings spectacular. Not the location, not the decorations or the food. Sure, it all adds to it but when you’re surrounded by 100 people who are madly in love with the bride and groom and everyone just wants to have a good time, those are the weddings you remember.

Something very different. Maternity & Boudoir
Different only in the fact that I’ve never shot outdoor nude maternity before. The same in that its how I love to shoot…no flash or fancy photoshop tricks. Just good ole fashioned sun and shadows. I don’t often say this but I’m a big fan of these images.
there must be something in the air these days that is making people awesome. i’ve been shooting with a slew of amazing clients that have grand ideas for photo shoots and get totally involved in the whole shoot. As a husband I’m not fully understanding why you need to buy new clothes for a photo […]
I love it when clients say ‘we want to do something different’. It leaves the door open to so many possibilities. Different from what? The more everything tries to be different the more it all ends up being the same. So I try to grab on the the obvious things that are different. Meg + […]
This shoot was supposed to take place in a nice quite area of a park but Ewelina called and said she was bringing a few outfits and a couple of heart shaped balloons. Its a lot of fun when couples are totally into the shoot and want to participate on the ideas and locations. Ewelina […]
Allie + Ryan are not planning a wedding. Nor are they engaged. They’re just two (self proclaimed) cheesy love birds who wanted to have some photos together. We met up in the middle of a field and just watching them walk toward us as we met, Jessica and I could tell they were just simply […]
Some things are worth waiting for. This shoot with Fallon was one of them. After many, many months of planning, plotting, rearranging and re-planning we finally hit the studio for a boudoir shoot. The plan: a fur coat shoot. Silver fox fur to be exact. Makeup Artist: Vicky Mina (thanks Vicky!) Hair: Cara MacInnis (thanks […]
In it’s infancy, this shoot was supposed to take place on a football field somewhere in Halifax. Then Nalani mangled her knee in one of the many contact sports she plays, had surgery and rested for a few weeks. We met up a few months later to plan a portrait shoot and got to talking […]
Trash the Dress PEI – photography vs video
I remember sitting in Jason Groupp’s studio in New York City thinking ‘Hell No, I’m not getting into video. I know nothing about it and the learning curve is too steep and expensive.’ Well, I’m a liar. I love it and I just found out the other day that Jessica (my lovely assistant) does too. So […]
I feel like a farmer at this time of year. An image farmer. May-October is the time when I kiss Marcia and Lola goodbye and work like a dog for 6 months. For months I’ve been plotting, sketching, thinking and collaborating and on Saturday it was finally time to ‘nut up or shut up’. It’s […]
If there’s any one thing that keeps me awake at nite its the technical difficulties of a website and blog. If you don’t have a site…you don’t have a business. So I apologize for the down time and confusion as we make a few changes to the website and blog. There promises to be lots […]
So we packed up for PEI in 2 cars, both stacked to the rafters with gear. Light stands, cameras, lenses, smoke machines, strobes, hot lights, appleboxes (custom made if you’re looking to buy some by the way) and more light modifiers than you can shake a stick at. I also had a mind full of […]
I knew the second that I met Julia at the Brides 2010 show in Halifax that we would end up shooting something fun together that was wedding related. Despite what you may have read, I don’t really think we had any real intention of sitting her in a pile of cow poo in her wedding […]
