i hadn’t met Kate + BJ until the day of the shoot. kate’s parents own the Shore Club in Hubbards and that’s where we went to do a little shooting in the torrential rain last week. it was fun to do a shoot in a new location, with a new couple and no idea what […]
Dawn Munden of Update Design saved my business. To think I almost painted the studio brown. Brown! it would have been like some African Safari photographic adventure in there! Dawn showed up, looked at me and said, “I know I can tell you this because we’re friends, “This is TOTALLY wrong'”. As soon as all […]
i love shooting weddings at the World Trade and Convention Center in Halifax. It’s a giant playground with mirrors and ceiling and elevators along with a perfect little nook to set up for the Crazy Booth Experience. The full slideshow is coming…i swear. for now, here’s a few of my favorites from Mike + Anita’s […]
i have big intentions to post so many wedding images but keep getting sidetracked. this one I had to post for a few reasons… 1. Kate contacted me back in September to come out to their family farm in Tatamagouche for a family portrait. Her brother and his wife were going to be in town […]
the second Angela walked into the studio I said to myself, “please please please book your wedding with me”. She did. It had everything I love. new locations, live bands, full creative control and she wanted me to shoot for her as much as I wanted to shoot for her. I didn’t meet Nathan until […]
i got a phone call from Brian Larter the other day to ask me if I had seen The Coast. I had not. Then he told me I got second place for Best Visual Artist in The Best of… for The Coast. I was stunned and thought he was pulling my leg. I still have […]
i’ve got a book of sketches that I keep around for whenever an idea pops up for a shoot. some are really old and will never get done. some are so bad (i can’t draw) i have no idea what i was thinking at the time and some are just waiting… thanks to a trip […]
the last time I saw Tara she was limping to her car after an unfortunate spill on the top of the airport parking garage. i thought she had just broken a little bone and would be fine in a few weeks. as it turns out she tore, pulled, twisted and cracked a lot of things […]
ok, here’s a few more…still more to come. it’s 1.07am and i think its even too late to call Nicole to see if it’s ok to post some images from her boudoir shoot tonight…so until then, here’s one to keep you wondering who Nicole is. i think I started my very own posse. none of […]
its funny how life rolls out sometimes. you stay up late at night reading, planning, plotting, organizing and trying to shape everything the way you think it should be and a lot of times it pays off. sometimes it doesn’t. sometimes you just need to belive that what you’re doing is right and if you keep […]
so I’m not really the ‘Book Now While There’s Still Time’ kind of guy. it’s just not my style. Buy Now, Save Now, Contact Us Now, Book Now…everything is now. I’ll bet you a million dollars you can get your hands on a shamwow for $5 in a year. So here’s the deal…the studio is […]
i told Marcia this was a business trip…and it is. most of it. business left me feeling hung over this morning and i’m now heading to Jason Groupp’s DWF party for Groupp Sex on the Beach from fishbowls. its all business. here’s a few images form yesterday’s shoot w Jason and JMC. straight outta the […]
here’s 2 quick images from yesterdays workshop in New York City w Jason Groupp and John Michael Cooper. Our influence for the shoot was…Helmut Newton, one of my all time favorite photographers. more to come tomorrow as JMC is going to…er, light it up today.
i worked in the pharmaceutical industry for 7 years. i probably thought about losing my job 95% of the time. one of the many times i lost my job i was on my way to a lunch (KFC) w a doctor and got ‘the phone call’. they actually told me to turn around and go […]
i just posted a few sites for a few clients. cute kids man. so cute. lotta photoshopping of drool and snots…but its worth every minute. then I realized I haven’t actually taken a photo of Lola in weeks…so I put it all down, grabbed the camera and this is what she gave me… its so […]
this was probably one of the most rewarding series of shoots i’ve ever done. cheryl was the perfect girl for this. When she emailed me about doing the shoot it said something like, “I want to do a Trash the Dress shoot, but let’s DO this.” ha. the bonus was that it took place on […]
the waiting is the hardest part. just a few frames of Erin before her Dad showed up and they heading to the church.
this was one of those wedding where you just show up and instantly become part of the family. my old job was selling pharmaceutical sales and I remember calling on this one very nice doctor, kind of quiet but there was something about him that always made me freak out just a little for the […]
underneath that sign always congregated quite a crowd. i was meeting w a client yesterday who told me she knew someone who was in the crazy booth shoot at Mike + Anita’s wedding in Halifax 2 weeks ago. then Marcia was at work in a doctor’s office and someone told her they too knew someone […]
i love shooting weddings. love it. dont get me wrong, i’m totally get my kicks shooting most anyone, for anything…but weddings always bring that something extra. the chance to just hang back and watch people. i really cut back on my gear so i could just blend in a lot more. most times there are […]
