The trouble with being a photographer and making good food is that it always takes twice as long once you factor in all the photo-taking time. Today was one of those days when, out of the blue, I get this burst of energy and inspiration to make good food. Armed with...

One of the most common questions I get from wedding couples are about great locations for taking wedding photos around Winnipeg. I have my own personal preferences, plus ideas of other popular locations, as well as not so popular. I thought I’d feature a...

It’s not very often that I get to be a guest at a wedding, and even less often when a long-term dear friend of mine gets married. Both happened last month, and I was overjoyed to be present at my good friend Angelina’s wedding. Angelina and I go way back,...

May & June has been busy with weddings, and I’m afraid to say it, but these past few months have felt a lot like the rainy stormy summer of 2009. I keep telling myself it’ll change once July rolls around, and in the mean time, I’ve been enjoying...

Last week’s f/action photo exhibit at the Cre8ery gallery came to a close on Tuesday, and with it, all our prints came down. It was sad to dismantle it, but it had been a good few days of exhibiting our work we’d been working on for over a year and a half....

I just realized that I haven’t blogged in a really long time – where did the time go?? Well, things have been busy, so I can blame it on excessive shooting and finishing teaching the last of the classes of the PrairieView diploma year. Now it’s time...

It was on a cool and humid day that I met up with Colleen & Justin for engagement photos… not sure if it was going to rain… but having my studio as a back up location just in case. The rain stayed away (for the most part) and we ended up getting some...

f/action was at it again: shooting! But this time, we were shooting each other. As photographers it’s hard being in front of the lens (ok, at least for me, I’m not sure if I can speak for Dallas, Duncan and Ailsa. They are pretty photogenic!) We did a few...
