Esker + Melanie Family Portraits - MacKenzie Point
Melanie and Esker decided to do their most recent family session at the exact spot they got married a few years ago. This time around, they had one more addition to the family. It was a nice hot afternoon and a very fun and spontaneous session.
Ray Family Gathering - Current River Community Centre
My recent family session was definitely my largest in a very long time. Ray invited me out to capture some of their family picnic/games afternoon. After getting some good candids of some of the action and people, it was time for the family portraits.
12U Lakers Baseball Session - Balsam Pit
I started photographing hockey last winter and had a fun time capturing team photos. It actually surprising that I did hockey photos before baseball, seeing as how I grew my playing baseball into my 20’s. Well, it’s better late then never.
Jenna's Bridal Shower
With Jenna’s wedding coming up in November, she asked me to come out and photograph some of her wedding shower. It was so great seeing all her friends and family come out and capture some nice candid (and posed) moments.
Jake + Abi Family Portraits - Trowbridge Falls
It was wonderful session with Jake and Abi this evening at Trowbridge Falls. The weather was perfect and everyone had a great time, especially the kids. Of course they were promised ice cream if they behaved, so they had no choice.
Helen Pelletier Winter Birch Bark Sgrafitto Etched Floral Heart Design Skirt
Helen Pelletier once again visited my studio with another simply amazing piece of artwork. This time around it was her winter birch bark sgrafitto etched floral heart design skirt. The amount of work and skill that goes into making something as beautiful as this, is impossible to comprehend. I’m just thankful that she allows me to capture photos of her work.
Cinema 5 Skatepark
I stopped by the recently opened Cinema 5 Skatepark earlier this month to capture some photos of one the programs they run for the youth. It was great to see all the kids come out and learn how to skate. I can’t wait to get back there and get even more photos of different events.
U13A KC Kracken Hockey Session - FWFN Arena
I still can’t believe my first session at the beginning of winter in 2022 was at the Fort William First Nation Arena. Fast forward to the other night and I have had the chance to photography so many teams since then. It felt good to be back at where it all started.
U13 KC Golden Knights - Neebing Arena
It was another great session back out Neebing Memorial Arena, this time wit the U13 KC Golden Knights. We did the usual locker room portraits and then some fun action shots out on the ice!
Desirae + Family Home Newborn Session
Home sessions are definitely my favourite types of shoots. They are so intimate and real and the photos always end being authentic and meaningful. Combine that with a newborn and you have the ultimate experience. Spending 30 minutes with Desirae, Ryan and August was so special and I enjoyed it immensely. Check out some of my favourite photos below, as well as a short little video.
Nathan + Family Portraits - Centennial Conservatory
For my recent family session were did a mix of indoors and outdoors. The location of choice was the Centennial Conservatory, which is one of the nicest indoor spots in town. After capturing some photos with the beautiful backdrop inside, we finished off with some nice winter shots in the snow outside.
Shannon + Family Portraits - Centennial Park
It was a very snowy but extremely fun session this afternoon with Shannon and her family. It felt good to get out and capture some great moments with everyone!
U9 Westfort Maroons Hockey Session - Grandview Arena
My last hockey session of the year was with the amazing group of kids on the U9 Westfort Maroons. After capturing their portraits in the locker room we headed to the ice for the team photo and of course, some action shots during their practice. I got a lot of great moments!
Peterson Building Supplies Elks U11 Hockey Team
It was the second time in 3 days that I was out photographing hockey at the Neebing Arena. This time aound it was the U11 Elks Team. They were a fun bunch of kids and very easy to photography. So much personality!
Thunder Bay Beavers Hockey Session - Port Arthur Arena
My hockey session with the Thunder Bay Beavers a short while ago was the oldest team I have had the pleasure of photographing so far. It was a great time and I love how the on ice portraits turned out. It was a nice change from the locker room versions I usually do. With that being said, I love both styles. As usual, I captured a ton of candid photos as well as on ice action. It was a super fun session!
U13A Current River Comets - Grandview Arena
I had another fun hockey session, this time with the U13A Current River Comets at Grandview Arena. As usual, we go some amazing locker room portraits of each player. While waiting for the ice to be cleaned, I snapped a few locker room candids as well. This is definitely something I want to do more of if time permits. All in all it was a great session!
Biigtigong Youth Hockey Mentorship Program Day 1 - Marathon Recreation Complex
I had the pleasure of driving down to Marathon last weekend to photography a couple of hockey teams for the Biigtigong Youth Hockey Mentorship Program. It was such an amazing experience and I got to spend time with some amazing kids (and parents). Stay tuned for another post, showing highlight from the 2nd day as well.
Erin + Family Portraits - Cascades
It was a short session this evening with Erin and her family but we came away with some really nice photos. Here are a few of my favourites.
U13 Flames Hockey Session - Current River Arena
My recent hockey session was back at Current River Arena with the U13 Flames. We had a great time getting all the player portraits in the dressing room. The team then gathered on the ice for their team portrait which turned out amazing! The rest of the time was spent getting some good action shots on the ice.
Chelsea + Patrick Family Session
It’s been a while since I have done a home session with a couple. So it felt really good to visit Chelsea and Patrick today, and of course their kitty, for some nice authentic and candid photos. I’m still surprised it took me 5 minutes into the session to realize how big of a Bills fan Patrick was. We of course ended the session with their game watching outfits, which was just so perfect!
