Family Day Powwow - Victoria Inn
Some highlights from the amazing Family Day Powwow that took place at Victoria Inn. It was such a great turnout and I just did my best to capture some of the excitement while I was there for about a half hour.
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.
MMIWGMB2S+ Valentines Day Memorial Walk
I was very thankful that I had the afternoon off today to go and participate in, and capture, the MMIWGMB2S+ Valentines Day Memorial Walk. The opening ceremonies started at City Hall, here in Thunder Bay.
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!
U11 Neebing Wildhawks Hockey Session
My first hockey session of the new year was with the U11 Neebing Wildhawks, and it was another fun one. Then again, all of these sessions are always so enjoyable. We started with the locker room portraits and then I captured some action shots 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.
2022 Wedding Highlights
My 2022 wedding season was one to remember. I’m very thankful to all the couples who put all their trust in me to capture their wedding day. Here are 100 of my favourite photos from the year. I could have easily included many, many more photos.
Paula + Joe Family Portraits - Government Road
I was so glad the weather was once again nice for an outdoor family session. This time around I travelled out to Government Road to photograph Paula, Joe and their family. It was such a big and beautiful property. We came away with a nice mix of posed and candid photos.
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!
Neebing U11A Hawks Hockey Session - Neebing Arena
It was time for another hockey session last night. The Neebing U11A Hawks were the stars of the show this time around. As usual, I captured a bunch of locker room portraits, the team photo on the ice, and of course, plenty of action shots during their practice.
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.

ONWA hosted their annual Poetry Night last month and it was the biggest one yet. I couldn’t believe how many people registered to attend. It was evening of amazing food, moving poetry and of course fantastic live performances.

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.
