Catching up on some file backups and thought I'd post a few photos from the Canadian National Downhill Championships that took place in July at Sun Peaks Resort as part of the Dunbar Summer Series.

It’s nice to be home for a little bit! I’m heading out today on a 4 day kayaking trip with Wildcoast Adventures so stay tuned for some west coast inspired work.

Couple spots left for the Faroes in October!

The Faroe Islands are a world of towering sea cliffs, winding mountain roads, waterfalls that tumble straight into the ocean, and tiny villages that seem untouched by time.

It's a place where the weather changes in an instant, the light is constantly evolving, and every turn reveals another scene you'll want to capture, that's why it's one of our favourite places to visit and photograph!

We have a few last minute spaces available for our trip this October, we'd love to have you there!

Getting to see a humpback lunge feed was such a highlight the other day while out on the water with Campbell River Whale Watching! It's so great to see such a large return of these beautiful creatures to our waters.

I just spent 9 days with the crew at BC Bike Race documenting the 20th anniversary of this legendary race.

My job was to try and capture every rider, every day...which was a challenge with about 850 riders registered!

A huge shout out to all of the media crew who worked tirelessly around the clock to get it all done. Hard things are made easier with a great team.

Beautiful BC never disappoints! Black bears foraging the shoreline, sinuous arbutus trees, and waterfalls plummeting into the ocean...what could be better? Here are a few images from a stunning day out on the water with Campbell River Whale Watching.

At all times, appropriate and legally required distances were maintained, and all photography was conducted in accordance with local regulations and safety guidelines.

A few photos from a beautiful day out on the water with Campbell River Whale Watching & Adventure Tours last week.

This day was extra special because I got to bring my sister on her first whale watching tour, and we were lucky enough to see a pod of transients just north of Campbell River.

A big thank you to Tyler and the team for having us out.
