In February I had the pleasure of working with a bunch of people from the Canadian Nurses Association and the Queensway Carleton Hospital. The result was this photo for the cover of “Canadian Nurse” magazine. An interesting side note; the woman in green is one of my upcoming brides for this summer. Even more bizarre … Read More
Guides, Porters, and Safety
This post is dedicated to the guys who made all of our trekking possible. When we started planning for our trip we thought it annoying that you need to book guides to do everything in Tanzania. Having been there I now understand the need for having people there who know what is going on. The … Read More
Animals in Tanzania
After climbing Kili Stephanie and I set off on our own to Arusha and hooked up with a local guide to go see some of the local parks.

The only way to describe the day for me was that it was like shooting a wedding for old friends. It was nothing but fun and relaxed all the way through thanks to everyone involved … Read More
Another Maternity Shoot! – Chantale
Chantale is another return client/former bride from last summer. Is it just me or does there seem to be some sort of corelation between getting married, living with someone, and having babies? 🙂 Shooting with this wacky family was entirely too much fun and there are only so many PG rated photos that I can … Read More
A week to go…
With a week to go before leaving for Mt Kilimanjaro and seeing other people’s dogs on my blog I couldn’t help but want to post something of Bella… We were out on a training hike today in the Gatineau Park and I couldn’t resist. Training has been a lot more rigoris this week since now … Read More
No Saturdays left for 2008
In order to save people the trouble of writing for wedding photography requests for 2008, I thought it would be helpful to announce that from May to the end of October, we have no Saturdays available. There is still room for April and November (don’t forget that day-light savings time was extended into November). I … Read More
