this was the first time we did this. i laughed a lot. i didn’t want some slow moving fade iiiiiinnnn fade oooouuuuutt kinda slideshow for this so i tried my hand at ShowIt Web custom timing. it was like a drumming course for toddlers in here. i was all over the road. i have discovered […]
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 […]
we’ve had so much going on the last little while that when it came time to getting some blog images up…i just wasn’t feeling it. so in an effort to be true what this is all about I haven’t posted anything for a little while. i dont want to post just for the sake of […]
Melinda + Earl are getting married in Mexico in April but we’ve been set on doing a shoot in Halifax before the trip down south. They had a new Jeep and they wanted to get it dirty. I can tell you first hand that if you end up in emergency…ask for one of these two […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
here’s a few from Katie + Matt’s wedding back in August.
a lot of times when i shoot a wedding i’ll come home, back it up a half million times, edit one or two and then not see them again for a couple of weeks. so its pretty fun to get back to each wedding and what always makes me laugh is the kids. there cant […]
i should be asleep. i’m running 18k w marse and nicole tomorrow. when you add nicole, an otherwise uneventful run turns into a 100 min competition. but i had to show you this…madness. Victoria park in Halifax has some great paths and lights and at the end of the nite i took cassanda + brendan […]
