Regional Gems and Hard Work

Technical ability, check. Necessary equipment, check. Regional information about the landscape and sunrise and sunset direction and time? Wait, what? If the last point threw you a bit of curve ball, it shouldn’t have. I think we’ve all been guilty of yearning for a locale that offers cascading waterfalls, eternal rainbows and majestic elk runn[...]

The Myth of 'Excellent Camera Equipment'

As a pro talking to other pros it is a common industry fallacy that we hear time and time again from current or prospective clients. "So and so has a really good camera', or "so and so just bought a brand new Nikon/Canon", implying that from a customer/client perspective they and their chosen photographer are 'good to go!!' It comes up so often that al[...]

2018 Year in Review - Personal Favorites

I guess one of the best things about being a generalist photographer is that you have the the opportunity to be in a multitude of situations, meet a vast array of people with different mindsets, and are fortunate enough to get to experience some crazy interesting things along the way. On top of that there are opportunities that are often not easy to come by[...]

Client: Sun Peaks Resort - Valley to Peak

I've always said, that for a 45 minute drive to Sun Peaks, it seems as though you've hopped on a 6 hour flight and jumped out into a magical wintery resort in another part of the country. But, as luck would have it, the resort is in our backyard and I relish every visit I get to make, especially when I'm partnering up with the hard working crew at Sun Peaks[...]

This new showcased project is located just west of the previous building and is facing east, an[...]

Explain to people your business, even in the most intricate of detail and they’ll get a fairly solid understanding about what you do. Show them however, with the benefit of powerful photos and you hav[...]

Client - gta Architecture, Kelowna, BC

The last few weeks have been a bit of a blur, trekking around the province with various clients; it's been a load of fun to be honest. One of the projects that I really enjoyed and is now in the books was for gta Architecture, an Okanagan (Kelowna) based firm. I was contacted by them shortly before this job began with a request for high-end project work th[...]

Tourism Valemount - Mountain Lifestyle

One of the best things I can say about working with Tourism Valemount and VARDA (Valemount & Area Recreation Development Association) is the people. There is a warm, family type of atmosphere whenever I get the opportunity to work in the community. That of course always leads me to feel like I'm going on vacation when I make the 3.25 hour journey north[...]
