A Throwback Thursday moment, to last weekend's incredible sunset that filed my Facebook and instagram feeds with crowd-shared awe, and that Amie Le Blanc was happily in town for, and able to capture with her lens. Well worth a recap. Here's to the magic hour. And, as the late Chili Thom said, making it good … Continue reading Sailor’s Delight, No Ships in Sight. Amie Le Blanc caught last weekend’s sunset. It was worth throwing back to.
I have a story about the Pemho. The one and only "bar" in town. Affectionately (maybe?) coined the 'Pemho' after the Pemberton Hotel and the wit that comes about after a few beers.

I am a big believer in enjoying experiences firsthand, so if I am off to enjoy a birthday or fireworks, I do it camera-free. I remember missing an entire evening once because … Continue reading A professional photographers counsels you to leave the huge equipment behind, but never leave home without an iPhone.
Earlier this month, I was given the amazing opportunity to capture the wedding celebrations of my friends, Maya & Anuj, in Alberta, Canada. 2500kms round trip, a couple different hotels, and a whirlwind of activity resulted in way over 10,000 images, which I now get to cruise through. But wow. The overflow of love and … Continue reading Celebrations: The loud, the quiet and the colourful
Since moving back home to Pemberton in 2013, I have been committed to creating a reputation as a photographer of people, of celebrations, smiles and memories.
