Paper House

This is Paper House. I took an afternoon recently to sit in on their practice session and then grab some shots of the band before they went their separate ways for the semester. Check out more about who they are and their music here.

Heidi & Manu's Wedding

This was the craziest photography day of my life.  I was both the Maid of Honour and the photographer for my sister's wedding! It took place in the tiniest little German village and was an absolute blast despite the craziness. Here are a few of the shots I captured while running around like a madman.

Fun fact: German's don't like exposing their identities on the internet. Therefore, only photos of Heidi's side of the family are being shown. 

Wendy's Family

I don't often get the chance to photograph an entire family, so this was sort of an exciting photo shoot. 

Wendy is one of my co-workers, slash fellow photographer, at TWU. I feel pretty honoured that she entrusted me with the duty of documenting her dear family on her and her husbands anniversary weekend. 

My location was once again the lovely little community garden across from TWU. 

My goodness I love that place!

Alesha Pregnant

It's happening. My close friends are starting to have kids.I'm really excited for Jordan and Alesha and their growing family. The due date is a week from today and the gender is unknown, so we're all pretty excited. We took these photos last week while Alesha was at her most pregnant state. Also, I think this is my new favourite location. It's the community garden across from TWU. I've used it a few times in the past couple of weeks with great results. 

Aaron & Katie

I got to knowAaron and Katie at camp last summer. Katie was my funny, British roommate and Aaron was her wonderful boyfriend. Now, a year later, they're engaged and I'm looking forward to having the privilege to photograph there nuptials at the end of July. 

These are their engagement photos. Just the cutest, right?

Rebecca & Friends

This last Saturday, myself and Chelsea helped out our dear friend Alesha with her sister's 17th birthday party. Part of the party involved a little friendship photo shoot. I love that it's cherry blossom season again! It makes for such a magical back drop.

Chris + Kristen

Further back than I'd like to admit, I took family photos for Chris and Kristen on Jericho Beach in Vancouver. Here are a few of the shots from this foggy, winter photo shoot.

Alistair

Less than one week ago, a new occupant came to live in the mansion with us. Baby Allistair came a bit early, but he's so precious that we really don't mind. Today I took photos of him with his family in the mansions sun room.I'm really happy with how the photos turned out and excited to share a few of them!

Graeme + Christie

Graeme and Christie are married TWU alumni who now live and work in Ottawa. They live in the most amazing downtown apartment with old hardwood floors, antique glass doorknobs, and a wonky floor plan. They're really a great couple, not to mention excellent dinner hosts.

Dave + Amy

Dave and Amy are Trinity alumni who now live in Ottawa. They wanted photos that would remind them of this time in their lives so we set up the shoot to take place in the cities centre with views of Ottawa's landmarks in the background. 

Stillwood Head Shots

One of my responsibilities at Stillwood was to take a staff photo of every staff member working at the camp. This doesn't sound like a big deal until you realize that there are over two hundred staff members throughout the summer and I had about thirty seconds with each subject. I'd like to think I really understand the art of portrait shooting now, at least as far as head shots go. 

Another project I took on was designing a staff camp sweater. The final product can be seen above.

 These are a few of my favourites. The camp's drive way which runs along the field is lined with huge fir trees. When the light shines through them just before sunset, they create the most gorgeous defuser and backdrop.
