Making Creativity Accessible
I knew that if I was serious about truly building skill I needed to live with my camera. In my house today you’ll realize it is an almost constant fixture in our kitchen.
The Discipline of Inspiration
Creative spark is a funny thing. Sometimes it strikes hard and the vision of what you want to create is so clear it basically creates itself. But inspiration is a muscle, and like any other muscle, it needs to go through discipline in order to function at its highest potential.
Aisles of Smiles with Mission Thrift
Our world is often ruled by giant box stores with no heart, which is what makes this store a breath of fresh air.
Through My Lens
Lake Huron, Pinery Provincial park, next to no cell reception, turtles, endless birds, nature scavenger hunts, nightly campfires and a wonderful cabin. What more is there to hope for in childhood?
It’s like Ninja Warrior for Tree Lovers
I love trees like anyone else who appreciates nature, but Aaron DeVos LOVES trees! Watching him and his crew work is like stepping into a ninja warrior gym except everyone has razor-sharp blades and chainsaws and at least someone is hanging from a tree with both in their hands.
When the Dream Comes True
I'm honoured to have worked on something so grand. First producing the audiobook version and capturing this incredible celebration. It was the culmination of a project that was literal "years in the making.”
Before we Go
Before the boxes are packed, before the key is handed over, before the last light filters through an empty room—there is time to pause. To remember. To gather. To pay a quiet tribute to a home.
I have a confession
I love reading people’s bios.
I have this odd curiosity of trying to put together the pieces of someone’s life through the bio of their life’s great achievements.
But there is usually a lot of jealousy mixed in there too.
What is documentary family photography?
Documentary Family Photography is having the best day with your family, never once bringing out your phone to take a picture but knowing that a personal paparazzi is capturing it all for you. When it's all over you are gifted a gallery of gorgeous images that ooze with the emotion of how that entire day felt.
The Beauty of a Mom
I see you constantly fielding sticky fingers, tangled hair, and bugs in your face. Just getting through the days feels endless. Please capture this stage so your children remember what their days felt like—and how deeply you were there for them.
Why The Framed Life?
It’s more than pictures. More than decor.
Let's frame the life, give proof of presence.
We were here. We loved. We lived.
It was wonderful.
This is The Framed Life.
Cousins do what cousins do
I’d give anything to have the imagination of a child with a Nerf gun.
Down in the Dirt
When people think of branding photography, they often picture high-end boutiques, sleek corporate offices, or perfectly curated product shots. But the truth is, every business—even the messy, smelly, gritty ones— need strong, professional photography.
A photo I didn't know I needed
When I think about the moments I’ve captured that take up the most space in my heart, it’s not usually the special days. It’s the everyday ones.
An Uncommon Gift
Portraiture is the ultimate gift. It’s not fleeting. It’s not superficial. It’s a timeless and tangible way to honour who someone is right now.
Headshots vs. Portraits
Have you ever asked what’s the difference between a headshot and a portrait and why portraits cost more? I mean in the end, they’re both just pictures of you aren’t they?
My Photographic Journey
Little choices led me here. But if I’m being honest I’ll admit I completely lucked into photography.
