Ice Boarding

Today was my first introduction to ice boarding. I knew these guys were on Lake MicMac and I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to photograph them. I went down and introduced myself. They were more then happy to let me take photos. The ice conditions seemed perfect and I regret not bringing my skates. Thanks to the group for letting me hang around and I hope we can get more shots in the near future.

Returning to Martinique Beach

The weather yesterday was too good to pass up so I decided to head back to Martinique Beach in search of good light. This time of year, you practically have the beach all to yourself. I saw this old lobster trap and I couldn't pass it by. It felt great to get out. So good in fact, I went back there this morning for sunrise! The last photo is one I took this morning. It was -13C and I'm so glad I brought my hand warmers!

Canada Games Oval

I went down this morning to check out the Canada Games Oval at the Halifax Commons. It's very cool and I can't wait to lace up and get out there. The city was busy clearing the snow off the ice from last night's snow fall. Although people tried to get on, it wasn't open to the public and a city official said to check the website each morning for updates. Breakfast Television was there too so I was able to at least get a few shots of the skaters with them. The Olympia is awsome!

Happy New Year!

I can't believe it's 2011! Where has the time gone? It was exactly a year ago that I left the military and started chasing this dream to be a photographer. It's been a great year for me and I hope for you too. I'm super excited about 2011 with some great photo shoots in the books. I'm in no hurry to wish this year away but I can't wait to see what another year will do for my business. I love what I do and I'm looking forward to the busy months ahead!

My wife and I just returned from Newfoundland where we enjoyed the holidays with our family. We spent the first few days in complete shock at the thought of my sister not being able to make it home from London, England because of 10cm of snow! She and her fiance slept in the airport and eventually made it home just in time. It wouldn't have been the same without them.

I managed to sneak in a few photos of my brothers family. My Niece Laura turned four on New Years Day and they always have photos done on her birthday. I am excited I was able to be with them this year and take the photos for them.

Cover of Faces Magazine

Back in October I did some promotional work for Stutz Apple Cider. One of the images landed on the cover of Faces Magazine, a local entertainment magazine here in Halifax. The shot below is the original. There a few more shots that landed inside as well. It's nice to see the mud fight get some love.

Evening Photo

Tonight I went for a stroll to take in the beautiful weather here in Dartmouth. Thought I would share this photo. I held the leaf up to the sun to get the burst of light.

Old Friends, New Photos

After days of rain, I finally met up with the MacGillivray family for photos. Charlene and I were classmates in Newfoundland back in the third grade. I never in a million years thought we would meet up again to do photos! I also can't believe we knew each other when we were the same age as her children! I had a great time following them around Shubie and learning where the Smurfs live!
