just a quick post before I finish covering up the lime green walls in the studio. this is a quick shot we grabbed at the end of the shoot for MaMe Maternity. Amy is a photographers dream and nightmare all wrapped up in one. every single frame is usable. if its not, its because I […]
well, we’ve been talking about it for a few months and finally, Marty and I confirmed a Crazy Booth for Mike + Anita’s wedding in Halifax last night. I had an idea of the way it might unfold but when it actually happened, it blew my mind. sit a bunch of people who love each […]
i have no idea where the ‘studio’ in applehead studio came from. it was so long ago…i honestly think it just sounded cool and began as a joke. the studio started in shawn + nicole’s basement, my furnace room, an empty bedroom, marcia’s garage, a room we built in Marcia’s basement (Mike + Anita bought […]
the next time you see this dress it will not be so pretty. cheryl, you’re the bomb. see you in 2 hours.
its been a while since i’ve had a story to tell you. so here’s a good one. met up w Geoff + Tara for an engagement shoot tonight around 6. they’re big lovers of traveling the world and go from the vines of the Grand Pre Winery to the soft sand beaches of Fiji. so […]
i’m just going to keep adding to this post. if you wonder what exactly went on in that prison cell, well, keep watching. there’s a behind the scenes project underway. first we have to sift through hundreds of images like these… ‘supersonic, truth be told i wanna live my life w the volume full’ […]
i have no idea how i missed the Gigantic White Barn in the backyard of Sarah’s mom’s house yesterday, but I did. until the eight girls were all ready. the rain stopped and we went outside. i dont know who said it, mostly because Sarah travels in a large bridal posse, but ‘the old barn’ […]
the last 24 hours have been insanity. we had a full house at Aperture Studio last nite for the workshop. thanks to everyone that came out. i hope it was good for you and i’m happy you liked the cookies. spent the day shooting a maternity line for uMaMe. Such a sweet shoot too. I […]
if I hadn’t have fallen into that hole in that dark wet cave i never would have met Chris + Rachel. i’ve seen some pretty extravagant weddings. big tents, Bentleys, red bottom shoes, 400 person receptions etc. this was better than that. i thought double decker egg salad/cheese whiz sandwiches only existed in Cape Breton…well […]
ever see the Seinfeld episode where George is at a kids birthday party and he smells smoke…and proceeds to push men, women and children out of the way to get out of the apartment? guilty! met up w Cassandra + Brendan for a quick engagement shoot before their wedding in October and we met up […]
i’ve been shooting outside for months now, following light wherever it falls, shaping it only slightly where possible….but tonight, tonight we hit the studio and it was like brushing my teeth w my right hand! Samantha and her family came by for the ole cap n gown shoot. that lasted about 5 minutes. then we […]
Photosenstive / Cancer Connections event opens tomorrow at Dalhousie University. The opening ceremony begins at 10am right on the corner of Spring Garden and Queen St and there will be an amazing display of photographs (and I believe some of the photographers and cancer survivors as well). Shari Tucker worked on an incredible cancer related […]
i guess you get to a point where your brain can only hold in so much before it has to let go of some stuff. i’ve got this amazingly talented group of photographer friends that inspires, teach me, push me and listen to me. the trouble with that is there’s always a new project around […]
natasha + andrew brought two things to their engagement shoot last nite: keys (to an elevator that goes up to a sundeck under construction) and a basketball. i love a shoot where everyone is up for anything. this was one of them.
dancer. dance teacher. senior class president. brilliant student, Lieutenant Governor Award winner…17 years old. Are you kidding me? The future is in good hands if tomorrow’s leaders are anything like Samantha. here she is. (thanks Sam!)
so I was hanging out at Felicity Bridal tonight before my engagement shoot w Natasha + Andrew and found out this: Christa, purveyor of the most amazing wedding dresses and owner of Felicity Bridal is going to be on BT tomorrow morning at 7.15 (or maybe it was 7.45)…either way, if you want to see […]
elizabeth + stephen left for the Dominican today at 1pm and they won’t be back until next week so I won’t post too much from yesterday but picture this: a 6 foot tall gorgeous brunette in an amazing maggie sottero gown in front of some sort of piece of machinery that either digs holes or […]
when you’re a photographer the next best thing to shooting is being a second shooter…or third even. its pretty much like getting to go to work and do whatever the hell ya want all day. sure, you gotta hold a light every now and then but thats not so bad. the tradeoff is you get […]
its been mere hours since I saw this link and we’ve already got a full, double studio booked thanks to Brian Larter at Aperture Studios. 6 photographers, hairstylists and makeup artists have also volunteered their time and efforts. we need your help to just spread the word. do you know someone you could nominate […]
are you kidding me? are seniors all this size? Jordon towered over me and I had to stand on an applebox for most of the shoot. we cranked the Wilco and shot for about an hour.
