“A ground blessing ceremony led by Elder Gene Nowegejick and attended by university leadership, donors, and government partners on Lakehead's Thunder Bay campus signalled the ceremonial start of construction for a new animal education facility that will open in 2027. The event celebrated the newly confirmed Indigenous name for the future facility: Gakina Awesiinyag, from the Anishinaabemowin language, translating to All Animals (Place For).”

Kaylia + Emma Wedding - Kakabeka Falls
I am definitely seeing more and more small intimate weddings these days, and my latest one was with Kaylia and Emma at Kakabeka Falls. It was just them with a few of their family members. I was only there for the ceremony and some portraits afterwards, but it was more than enough time to capture a lot of great moments.

You really can’t ask for a better backdrop than the Falls. Luckily the weather held up and it was a nice overcast day. It was the perfect way to start the day, and I really do hope I keep getting the opportunity to shoot small weddings like this!
2019 Lakehead University Convocation Ceremony
Lakehead University Aboriginal Cultural & Support Services hired me to photograph today’s Lakehead University Convocation Ceremony and I had a blast doing so. It’s hard not to come away with great photos in such a joyous atmosphere. I’m right at home at these types of events because they are lot like weddings. I thoroughly enjoy capturing candid moments and that is exactly what I did.

K.I.H.S. Graduation 2018 @ Valhalla Inn
This event was another one that I was photographing for the second time. Last years Keewaytinook Okimakanak Graduation Ceremony took place at the Italian Hall and it was a very intimate yet fun event. However, this time around, I was amazed not only at how many more graduates there were but all the family that attended as well. Whenever I photograph graduations such as this, it's really not that difficult capturing special moments because everyone in attendance is just so happy to be there.

It was a very fun night which had some live standup comedy, awards and of course some games that the staff and the graduates took part in. Combine those with some really good food and a hat toss at the end, and it was a evening to remember.
Congratulations to all the graduates for all of their hard work!
