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.

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[...]

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.

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[...]

Kamloops Museum - 'Ruin and Renewal: Fire on the Interior Plateau'

When Julia Cyr from the Kamloops Museum & Archives contacted me to ask if I would document another installation for them, this one being 'Ruin and Renewal: Fire on the Interior Plateau', I was excited; not only because the staff and management there are fantastic but also because I thought it made a natural transition from the Kamloops Fire Fighters Cal[...]

Kamloops Fire Fighters' Calendar Preview- 2019

It's a wrap! The dehydration, carb cutting, chicken and veggies only diet, weight training until you can taste metal, face melting cardio workouts are over...and that's just my training! ;) To be serious, the guys and one kick ass girl put in a tremendous amount of work training, prepping and being 'models for a day' during our conceptualized shoots for wha[...]

A Walk About With Client - Chahal & Priddle LLP, Kamloops

I'd worked with Hardeep Chahal and Kerri Priddle a few years ago, on a project called 'Profiles of Excellence' through Glacier Media, where outstanding businesses were recognized in a beautiful publication. I remember them then as open to fun, creative concepts, so when I was contacted by the firm to help re-fresh their brand I was super excited to get to w[...]
