A couple of selects from a campaign we shot for . We love working with this client because they send us the brief for each timepiece and trust us to style and shoot in a way that will capture what they're looking for, giving us lots of room to be creative and play in the process.

Five years ago Mike was asked to shoot 'band stills' for The Plateaus while they shot a hilarious and over the top music video (directed by and shot by ) for their “hit song” YNG LUV. Annie co-created the CBC show and while on set was talking about recently being cast as Alexis Rose in some new show called Schitts Creek. Annie talked about almost giving up on acting because she wasn't booking a lot of work and it was all just getting too hard. A few weeks ago Schitts Creek was nominated for 15 Emmys and Annie has been nominated as best supporting actress in a comedy series. Well deserved, and it's amazing to see how far she's come. A good reminder to keep going after your dreams, you never know what opportunity is just around the corner.
