I’ve shot with Jennifer a few times over the last few years including an early edition of my waterfall series but it’s been a while, despite our efforts trying to sync our schedules. We finally managed to find some time during a rare off weekend when my wife was working and I wasn’t playing catch up with other editing or chores that had been falling woefully behind due to my sometimes ridiculous schedule. So, we Read more
For the last year or so I’ve been helping our my good friend Paul Girvan with handling logistics behind the scenes at the fitness competitions he covers around Atlantic Canada. (more…)
As with most publication shoots we do, they end up being kept under wraps for some time before we can share them and this one was no exception! (more…)
Our first Black Tape Project experiment was a huge success so we decided to tempt fate and try it again. LOL! Knowing the second time around exactly how much work was involved we planned a little more and improved on the space and materials and invited one of my all time favorite models, the one and only Ophelia Lai, to join my very favorite MUA, Bryana Doyscher, along with my good friend Jim Vaughan to assist Read more
I met Jennifer over a year ago now at a fitness competition in Halifax and when we chatted about possibly shooting something, she was quite excited and had never really thought about modeling. She had competed several times in bikini figure competitions and has placed in her category (5′ 9″ and taller) but had never actually had a professional photo shoot before. So, we made plans to show a few weeks later when I would Read more
It’s been a busy fall and we’ve been pretty non-stop now for months, which is pretty great because it helps this frigid winter pass seemingly much more quickly! LOL! This session seems like it was forever ago, but it was actually only last August when Caroline and I met for the first time along with Dream Team members Bryana Doyscher (for makeup) and Paul Girvan (to assist) and headed out to Crystal Crescent Beach near Read more
One of my favorite things to do is experiment with light and use it in new and interesting ways. It’s been a little while, but I had a friend and model visiting from out west and decided to try out some of the unique Christmas lights I picked up in the Boxing Day clearance specials that I thought might make for some interesting light sources and props for future photo shoots. Ellen, as always, was Read more
Our Christmas season has wrapped up for another year, but it’s never too early to plan for next year so you don’t run up against shipping delays and deadlines that affected so many this year. We wanted to share a session we did in our old studio with our friend Miss C showcasing how simple it can be to have a festive boudoir session. A few wrapped gift boxes and a Santa hat and Voila!

I’ve been a fan of Andivero magazine since their first issue back in 2012. They started out as a fine art nude showcase with an edgier side and I loved the presentation, look and whole feel of the magazine. I knew I needed to get to the point where I could see my own work in this magazine. I tried many times and was rejected over and over. Then in 2014, the magazine went into Read more
