“Don’t look at me, just be happy in nature.” 😂

The secret to those natural, candid corporate photos? Me giving very specific instructions on how to act natural.

Corporate retreats are fun. Especially when I’m your photographer.

I have so many questions about this photo, but my biggest one is WHY THE F**K DID I LET SOME GUY AT BANANA REPUBLIC DRESS ME? 😂 Lee and I have been together for 15 years, and we've done a lot of s**t together. Including,pretending to be respectable business professionals at wedding shows.

This was one of my very first wedding shows at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. And LOOK AT ME. 😂

I was trying SO HARD to look the part. I literally walked into Banana Republic and let a very fashionable gay sales associate dress me because I thought the secret to booking weddings was looking like I worked in middle management at a bank. I wasn't just dressing like someone I wasn't. I was running my business like someone I wasn't.

I said YES to absolutely fu***ng everything.

You're getting married at a conservation centre surrounded by dead taxidermy animals? AMAZING. BOOKED.

Your uncle is filming the wedding and plans to stand directly in front of me? FANTASTIC. LOVE A COLLABORATION. 😂

I was basically walking around with a sign that said PLEASE LIKE ME. I'LL DO ANYTHING.
here's what I've learned. When you're trying so hard to be what everyone wants, you attract people who aren't necessarily your people.

These days, I trust my gut. I don't need every client, every job, or a Banana Republic makeover to prove I'm a professional.

I love that Lee was right there with me. Fifteen years together, and we've been through so many versions of ourselves.

Some better dressed than others. 😂

Anyway, shoutout to the guy at Banana Republic.

Moving abroad with our kids was magical. ❤️🇲🇽

I was going through some old photos and videos from our time in Mexico, and honestly, it made my heart hurt a little. I don't even know how to explain that feeling.

I spent the first seven years of my life growing up in Miami Beach, Florida, and I think a big part of me always wanted to give my kids a little slice of that childhood. The sunshine, the ocean, the freedom, the adventure of growing up somewhere warm and completely different. Miami wasn't really an option for us, so we chose Mexico.

And we just went for it.

Lee drove from Hamilton, Ontario, all the way to Playa del Carmen. SIX DAYS. We didn't even speak Spanish.

But It was one of the best things we've ever done as a family.

There were challenges and plenty of moments when I questioned what the hell we were doing.

But looking back at these photos, I can actually FEEL that time in our lives. And it almost hurts because I miss it so much.

Which is weird, because I don't necessarily want to move back. At least not full-time. I miss Mexico terribly, but I also know that chapter of our lives was exactly that. A chapter.

Maybe that's the strange thing about really beautiful experiences. Sometimes you don't want to relive them. You just wish you could step back into them for a little while.

And the Mexican people...Some of the warmest, funniest, most welcoming people I've ever met. I love Mexicans. Canada could use a little more of that Mexican energy, I'm just saying. 😂❤️

if you ever have the opportunity to travel or live abroad with your kids, DO IT. Even if it's just for a few weeks or a couple of months.

I really do think there's something special about doing it while they're young. Let them experience different cultures, hear different languages, meet different people, and see that there's more than one way to live a life.
🇲🇽❤️

Actually, you know what? I lied. 😂

If we could find the right school for the kids, a great place to live, and make all the logistics work, I'd probably move back in a heartbeat. Ask me again in January when it's -20 outside, and I'll probably have our bags packed.

Guaranteed good time, guaranteed better photos.

When I come to your location, I bring the studio lights, shoot tethered to the computer, and make the whole thing way less painful than people expect. Your staff can see the images as we shoot, we adjust as we go, and we keep going until people are actually happy with how they look.

Because yes, the final edited image matters, but what matters more is that people actually like the photo enough to use it.

Real people. Real collaboration. No awkward corporate hostage photos. Just easy direction, good lighting, and everyone leaving like, “Okay wait, I actually look 12/10

A Sweet Six order going out ☁️🎀

Custom cotton candy doesn’t have to just be a tub of cotton candy.

For this birthday we created individual layered cotton candy favours for the guests plus a full-size cotton candy cake for the dessert table — all customized to match the party colours.

The cake is made entirely from layers of fresh cotton candy, so you still get that big birthday-cake moment without it actually being cake. 🎂☁️

Birthdays, showers, weddings, corporate events — we can customize the colours, flavours, labels, packaging and setup to your event.

I shot this image a couple years ago, and it’s interesting how differently I see it now.

When I first created it, I saw the sexiness of the image. The balaclava. The mystery.

But now, with facial recognition, the tracking devices in our phones, cameras everywhere, and AI data centres collecting so much of our information, I see it more as a vigilante image.

She can see you, but you can’t see her.
You can’t identify her.
You can’t monitor her.

It’s interesting how you can create something, and then as time passes, the way you see it changes. The image doesn't change but I do. it’s where my mind is at...what’s happening in the world around us.

There’s no question that we’re being monitored.

But can a monitored soul still be free?
