Craft Revival Spring 2022
One of my favourite events of the year took place this afternoon, The Craft Revival. It actually takes place twice a year, and this was the spring edition. Even though it doesn’t really feel like spring is here with all the snow we have been getting. Regardless, the weather did hold up and it ended up being the perfect day to walk around all the venues downtown.

I’m always amazed at how many talented artists there in this city. It seems like each year this event happens I see a local artist I never saw before. I’m so happy I was available to attend this year and capture just a small portion the event!
Amy + David + Jace at Centennial Park
Amy and David decided to do a spring portrait session this past weekend at Centennial Park and I really couldn't wait, for a couple reasons. The first one being Amy is pregnant expecting her second child, and the second one being I got to see how much more Jace had grown up.

This session was just a 30 minute one but we came away with a ton of great photos. Amy brought two cans on a string as a prop and it ended up producing some of my favourites from the session. It also helped that Jace was probably one of the calmest kids I have ever photographed. I felt like he could have done it all day!
Once the photo portion of the session was over, Amy and David were kind enough to let me shoot a very short video of them. This is something I want to start offering families and wedding clients so it was great to get a chance to do it. I could have easily spent 3 hours following them around but I didn't want to take up too much of their time. If you want to view the video, you can find it below, as well photos from the session as well.
Katrina + Lucas Engagement
My first engagement session of the season was quite a very fun one. Katrina and Lucas approached me to get some engagement photos done in time for the wedding next year. We decided on Centennial Park which as I have mentioned before, is always a great venue to photography a couple.

I could tell Katrina and Lucas where a bit nervous going in seeing as how they have never had to do an engagement session before. That hesitation very quickly went away as soon as we got the first photo out of the way. They were very natural and carefree which translated into every single photo.
Most of the time I have a photo in my head that I envision but I always let the couple do what feels comfortable. I basically set them loose in a setting and see what happens. This was the case with Katrina and Lucas. Whether they were walking down the train tracks or leaning in for a kiss all the photos were very spur of the moment. It was simply my job to capture it. And that is why I love this job.
It's always nice to have a couple be open to pretty much anything I throw at them. Not every photo is always going to end up the way it is intended but that doesn't mean the final result is any less special.
Thanks to Katrina and Lucas for a fantastic engagement session. Their laughter and sincerity allowed me to capture the day perfectly.
