McKenna Family

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing 2 gorgeous little girls a few weeks ago; Maggie & Zoe. Adorable is an understatement.





Jennifer & Tyler e-session

Let's be honest. There are a lot of guys who think that having photos taken is equal to having teeth pulled, and this was certainly the case with Tyler. He really wasn't enthusiastic about the whole thing but, after the first 10 minutes or so he realized that all he had to do was have a good time and hang out with the love of his life Jen, who was so excited at having some beautiful images of them.
I think both of them will be thrilled with what we captured. See Tyler, you guys rocked! matt

Ashley & Jason e-session in Banff

Banff, what could be more amazing than hanging out in this stunning place with two people who are so into each other and simply capturing the intimacy and love these two share. Incredible locations + Incredible people = beautiful photos. Thanks Ashley & Jason, I had a Blast, can't wait for your wedding. matt.



Shelley & Ryan e-session

While I was away Matt did a great e-session with Shelley & Ryan down in Inglewood. It was a chilly November afternoon but a little snuggling warmed things up quickly. Add a frisky pooch into the photos & it created a little chaos & some great images. We are totally looking forward to capturing some more great photographs at their upcoming winter wedding in Feburary.


Jesh de Rox Seminar - Vancouver

Oh Jesh. There is no one like him. Humble, open, emotional, philosophical & oozing understanding.
In three days Jesh was able to touch & change each person there in some fundamental way. His heart was open & each of us responded the same way. It was easy to see how he could capture the intimate images from the couples in his photos. He reaches into your soul & sees you.
The seminar was about many, many, many things. These will be lessons revisited throughout my life. I feel peaceful & excited. Introspective & open. Wanting to share & looking for ways to learn.
This workshop was full of life lessons, an exploration of the experience of capturing images & growing as an artist and as an individual person. If you want to do some serious soul searching & come away with a fascination of our craft as photographers Jesh's seminar is the place to be.
As a special treat while I was in Vancouver I was able to stay with my good friends Ral & Danelle of RAD Studios. These guys spoilt me & showed me a wonderful time. I seriously didn't want to leave. Thanks so much.

Jesh de Rox Seminar - Vancouver

I am flying out to Vancouver (again!) this week for another amazing seminar. Jesh de Rox is a mind blowing photographer. His images have such an amazing emotional impact that they're impossible to forget. There was only 12 people accepted to participate in this workshop & I am so honored to be one of them. I am doing this seminar on my own, Matt is holding down the fort, running the business & playing Mr. Mom to our 2 girls this week. He will do great as always.
Check out Jesh's unbelievable images;
