Kenzie and Alex - Engagement Session

It was really important for Kenzie and Alex to have their engagement photos taken on Conrad Beach.  We've spent weeks trying to juggle our schedules around the weather and it finally came together yesterday evening! Conrad Beach is where the big proposal happened so it holds great meaning in their relationship. To say Alex felt very awkward at first is an understatement but as the shoot went on it all started happening naturally. Duke was awesome too!

We'll be shooting their wedding on the Silva later in August which is going to be awesome! Besides sailing, I can't think of anything else I'd rather do! These are a few from our shoot!

Epic Dartmouth 2012

Even though I anxiously awaited the Epic Dartmouth race for months, charged batteries, cleaned lenses, packed and re-packed gear, nothing could have prepared me for the epic heat that hit us on July 1st. Most days I would fall into a fit of rage and do anything to escape the heat, but witnessing the inspiring and amazing efforts of the triathletes pushing their bodies to the extreme made me forget all about it.

I loved every minute of it and I'm so happy to have captured this wonderful event. I'm already looking forward to playing a much larger role for next years race. I would like to thank my new friends Margo, who took me in a kayak helping me capture some of my favorite photos for the day, as well as Clarence for his patience and awesome experience on his motorcycle allowing me to get some great cycling shots!

So, no fireworks for me this year but it was the best Canada Day I've ever had. 

Congrats to everyone who played a role in making this race happen, especially the athletes who battled the heat. Tim, it truly was Epic. Congrats!
