There's the teary eyed father moment seeing her for the first time in her white dress. The "holy crap, I'm about to walk down the freakin' isle!" moment,  usually quickly followed by a "do I have anything in my teeth?" moment. There's the  "I'm the luckiest guy in the world" shaken with a little "damn, my gal looks stunning!" moment

There's nothing I like more than an organized bride, and Denise was certainly that. But she wasn't the stickler, fussy kind that got upset or stressed about anything. In fact, she was quite the opposite and was as cool as a cucumber all day. Thoughtful planning and care went into each detail, including her own beautiful invites

I went to NSCAD with Angella & Ursula years back, so was thrilled they asked me to photograph their wedding. I knew the gals would want to do something totally creative and unique to them, and it certainly was just that. Days before their ceremony though, they wanted to do a pre-wedding photo session, so we could

When my friend Ang asked me if I could photograph her family when they were home this summer on their beautiful property, I was delighted. Even more delighted to see them wearing "team" blues

"Pretend I'm not here guys, and just fart around." That's always the advice I offer couples or families that aren't really sure what they're "supposed" to do during a photo session. Obviously, there's more to that of course. I do suggest some poses and positioning to help guide a little, but the very best and most memorable,

The biggest compliment to a photographer, or any business owner for that matter, are clients who keep coming back. In this case, it's like an extra tight hug when they come back to photograph their new little baby. Jessica and John might as well be my agents with the amount of referrals I've gotten from them. I

Monique and Dennis, expecting their first child wanted to celebrate their excitement with portraits to remember this special time before little Ella's arrival. Thankfully our afternoon in beautiful Point Pleasant Park in Halifax, was blessed with warm sunshine and blue skies. ~ Congratulations Monique and Dennis. I had a wonderful time with you and know you'll be

There's far too much cute bundled up in this little tiny package named Micah. She was such a little doll in the studio and didn't seem to mind it a bit. She actually took a break for a nap in her parents' arms. Congratulations Julien and Sandra. She's a cutie pie. P.S. Shouting out to new or expecting

Sam, an aspiring actor who's studying with Neptune Theatre in Halifax, came to me in need of his first set of professional headshots for casting agencies. They key for taking great headshots of this nature, is to keep it simple with solid compositions and to not get too fancy with settings and backgrounds. Agents want to see

There are 2 reasons I title this blog post "When Friends get Married". First, because it's always extra special to photograph a wedding for friends. Ruth and I met and became pals in grade 7. Way back in the day. haha I was "super" excited when Ruth and Adam announced their engagement, then extremely flattered when they

It's 2 weeks and counting for baby Adams.  Two very excited parents await his or her arrival. Alissa and Keir were referred by previous clients which is always a nice compliment, so thank you M+M. I appreciate it Alissa and Keir came by the studio a few weeks ago for a maternity session to help capture a few moments

I just wanted to take a moment to send out a great big congratulatory shout-out to Jessica and John, a lovely couple we photographed last year in Port aux Basques, who are expecting the arrival of their shiny new baby boy in June. Congratulations guys. We wish you all the best and can't wait to see you
