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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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.
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 […]
a few more from erin + jason’s wedding.
i got all caught up in Crazy Booth that I forgot to post a few images of mike + anita. i could blather on about how awesome they are but if you know them, you already know that. if you don’t know them, trust me when i tell you they are the finest kind. Historic […]
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.
