uncompromising fine art photography

I've had these photos done for a long time, but I totally forgot to post them on my blog! In June, I spent four days in Red Deer doing some commercial shooting for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). They teamed up with the Canadian electrical utility companies to make an electrical safety training movie. This will be used to train emergency personnel across the entire country and beyond about electrical safety. I myself learned a lot about electrical safety during these four days! It was interesting! My job was to capture the happenings on the set for a behind-the-scenes kind of look, and also to get them some high quality stills of each… Read More

We were privileged to meet up with Shauna and Colin down in Drayton Valley for their awesome wedding! I had never been before so it was going to be a treat. I was pleasantly surprised with how beautiful the landscape of the area is. Not your typical rural Alberta town... it is quite a lush terrain. First stop was to meet the girls. This is what you get when you have a bride and friends that are hair professionals. A hair party. Do someone's hair, and then switch, and then get your hair done in return. Bridesmaid,… Read More

It is time again for the Monthly World Report according to Simon. Yes, it is a little late. That's because my secretary (my dad) has been ill for the past week and a half and couldn't get his lazy butt out of bed for over a week! In fact, he didn't even take a 6 month portrait of me!!!  So just generic snapshots this month.  I'd fire him if he didn't live under my roof. Oh well, it's so hard to find good help these days.  hahaha I've been learning the alphabet from this awesome book my crazy auntie Ersi bought for me. Read More

Meet Joey, the awesome guy that married Odessa.    This guy is probably the friendliest person on the universe.  It didn't matter where we went for photos, he was constantly running into people he knew.   Anyways, how did he end up with a gorgeous amazing girl like Odessa? Well, a great kiss goes a long way to capturing a girl's affections....  as does taking her for coffee when she needs a bit of a caffeine fix. Read More

Got together with Shalyn for a crazy portrait shoot. She was up for anything so I ran it more like a fashion shoot; she had the clothes, the look, and the attitude for it so why the heck not? The motivating factor for the shoot was to actually get some shots of her new tattoo. So we started with that. Then we moved into downtown for some grunge. Read More

It promised to be an eventful day with Jennifer and Randy. Lots of traditions and games were in the schedule, which I love! And they sure didn't disappoint! The games the guys had to go through in the morning were definitely the worst I have seen at a Chinese wedding. Actually, make that ANY wedding. They started by taking shots, eating raw eggs, cottage cheese mixed with nasty stuff, fish sauce, you name it. Then Randy had to do the "egg through the pants" game on his crew. For those who don't know, you gotta slide… Read More

Haha, I thought this was a cool pic. Here I am on a commercial photoshoot proving that I'll use whatever means and equipment necessary to get the shot: It was super fun! Just thought I'd share. Thanks to Larry MacDonald for taking my camera and getting this picture of me. I have almost no pictures of me!  Read More
