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 […]
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 […]
As I was leaving Felicity Bridal the other day to pick up a few dresses for our Trash the Dress PEI project, Mickey came running out. “I have an idea for a wedding dress shot,” she said. “Let’s dress up Christina and take her picture putting money in a meter.” Done. Concept + Art Direction:Mickey […]
I remember the very first trade show I ever did. It was Reno, Nevada and we were unveiling the new Prometheus Pellet Fuel Basket. I tried to find a link somewhere but I can’t find it anywhere on the world wide web. So that will tell you how well that product went. (it was actually […]
constructive criticism. when you really want to get better and you can handle someone telling you your images look like shit, it’s one of the best kinds of learning you can get. and it’s free. people love to tell you exactly how they feel. i’m lucky enough to have a few people who’s opinions i […]
i’ve been dying to shoot a bride in a cage veil for a really long time now. they look so sophisticated and sexy and dark. so when I had a chance to shoot with one yesterday I was very happy. this was one of the last shots. it was supposed to be a test shot […]
Episode 1 of Applehead Radio is in the can. What a blast! I got an email from someone right after and she said, “Wow, that guy was awesome, you just asked him one question and then you two talked for an hour.” Big thanks to Jason LeFrense for doing the pilot episode with me. If […]
(this is a screenshot i copied from myself…kind of. thanks Emma!) i second shot a wedding with Emma Rose back in November. so sweet. no pressure and complete freedom to just hang around anywhere and shoot anything. i loved it and I hope we do this more often. it was a lot of fun to […]
i’m a bit of a talk radio junky. CBC, 95.7, podcasts etc. pretty much every topic is interesting and i’m starting to think that when you hit 65 or 70 years of age, its perfectly acceptable to drink heavily and call in to talk radio programs. doesn’t that sound better than 3 minutes w Nickelback? […]
it’s no secret that I’m a big fan of Felicity Bridal in Halifax. i had no idea I’d be a 35 year old dude who often hangs out in a bridal boutique…but whatever. when I told Christa I was going to start shooting some boudoir photography she simply said, “I’m in”. I think it’s very […]
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 […]
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 […]
you know when you’re home w the kids and a little time goes by and you realize you haven’t heard a peep and then you look around and realize the baby is covered in honey and marshmallows and the dogs could not be happier? well, thats kind of whats been going on around here the […]
