A set from the archives I haven’t had a chance to share yet. Photography is something that started out simply as a casual pastime that in turn opened up a whole world of new friendships and community that I couldn’t have imagined when it

Happy March! Finally got around to finishing up a few more snaps from a memorable night up at Griffith Observatory in LA with @kristinelliss a few months back. Let me know if you’ve got a favorite! Hope you’re all having a great weekend!

For all of the photos I’d like to take, plan to take, or dream up in advance, it’s often the ones that just happen in the moment that end up standing out the most when I look back. And where it’s true of art I’ve found it to b

It’s been a privilege over the last 6 months to work with @socality and @canoncanada to organize some pretty awesome creative events across Canada, and I’m excited for another one coming up in a couple weeks on February 23rd in Calgary at

“Forever is composed of nows”, Emily Dickinson wrote over a century ago, and countless others have created works before and since on the power that resides in our ability to live in the present moment. For a long time words like that have

Just a word of encouragement for any of you in the process of making things, starting stuff, and generally putting yourself out there in creativity or any aspect of life: The stuff you’re going through, the struggles, the resistance, the long n

For all the stuff I love about the start of a new year, it’s also such an easy time to focus on all of the things we’re not. It can be easy to get overwhelmed with all the parts of our lives that can be improved, changed, or made better.

The last few weeks have brought an important reminder for me of the necessity and importance of limits in our lives. It’s so easy to live out our days like the the rules don’t apply to us. Like a lack of sleep, margin, exercise, solitude,

In the midst of a lot of dreaming and reflecting this time of year, it’s gratitude I’m feeling above all. Life definitely doesn’t look the way I thought it might when this year began or when this decade started. And the older you ge

As the year comes to a close I’ve been starting to chip away at completing a lot of the unfinished imagery captured over the course of 2019. So many moments that I haven’t had a chance to share, and I’ll be trying to do a bit more o

This season always brings with it a lot of reflection as the year comes to a close and I couldn’t be more grateful for each and every person who’s been a part of my journey this past year. In the midst of what can be an incredibly stressf

I hope you remember to show up for all of this crazy experience we call living. I hope you love those ordinary moments of pure joy, those moments of delight. I hope you celebrate often. With the ones you love and with the ones who love you. I hope yo

A few favorites from an impromptu shoot in downtown Vancouver a couple weekends back with new friend @edenvonweiss. Life has been full in my world the last couple months with lots of transition, and that’s meant being a little less present in t

Reflecting on the year thus far, I’m filled with so much gratitude for all of the individuals whose lives have intersected mine. It’s impossible to separate our lives from those we come into contact with, and it’s a beautiful thing

Had the chance to get away and disconnect from the phone and work for a few days last week. There’s something about the desert that has always fascinated and inspired me and we had the chance to link up with some new and old friends while in Jo

There’s always something special that comes with seeing new views of the city you call home with fresh eyes. We had the opportunity to do some shooting on the rooftop and patio of the @calgarymarriott last week, and I’m excited to share m

It’s so easy to become numb to familiar places. So easy to take beautiful things for granted. I spent a day in the mountains last week with @bryanadamc and @alexiistherese and Bryan asked if the mountains here ever become ordinary to me. And if

Earlier this year I had the chance to spend the day in Vancouver and capture some images for Jolie, a singer and actress based out of Vietnam. It was one of numerous moments over the last year that have reminded me of just how small our world has bec

Many months ago now we shot these frames in studio, most of which I never got around to sharing. I came back across them recently and the feelings behind them resonated once again. Regardless of where you’re at in life or on your creative journ

I’m grateful to have had the opportunity this summer to really get out and capture a wide diversity of places, people, and moments along the way. Haven’t been great at sharing a lot of that, but life is so much more than these platforms,
