Something different, a BW photo story.

In 2016 I visited friends in Florida at the time share and I shot quite a few rolls of BW film. I haven’t ever published that project and I wanted to share it here now.

I spent some time looking at the images I have stored on my phone today and feel like I may start posting them here and to my social media feeds because a lot of them have never seen the light of day.

When I have a camera in my hand and I see something that sparks my interest I make a picture and I don’t alway share that with you because it doesn’t fit what I have shot before or what I am showing in my feeds.

It is time to be seen, for all of my angles.

Enjoy.

Daisy, at home editorial published in Vigour Magazine.

Daisy is kind of magic to work with and I think you can see that magic in these images. They showed up with no makeup and natural hair and we made these images within an hour and called it a day because we knew we had it.

I had the wardrobe ready and the backdrop pinned to a wall in my apartment. It was fairly chilly outside so I chose to shoot inside, we have a fair weather shoot planned for when the temperatures rise and I can’t wait.

If you want a copy of the magazine you can find it here The April issue celebrates fashion and makeup and the spreads in the printed magazine are fabulous.

Enjoy!

Jordan in Denue.

Sometimes you find someone you just really click with and I found that with Jordan, we shoot every once in a while and when we do we always have a great time.

This spread is for Denue published in Issue 9 of Vigour Magazine in January, you can grab a copy here.

Denue is a denim reseller based in Toronto, you should check them out.

Kobi, in the Sun and editorial for Selin Magazine.

Hello and welcome to 2024. I am a little late with my greetings because I took a bit of time before the hustle and bustle of the year began to just sit still for a while and relax.

I have been wanting to work with Kobi for a minute and my dream finally came true so being patient does pay off. So does taking some time to rest too. We created this spread in my home studio with natural light. I styled the shoot and Kobi brought his personality and lots of stories from his recent adventures.

This editorial is published in Selin Magazine’s Issue 36 Volume 37 and available here.

Big Projects

Hello, 2024 and thanks for being so good to me 2023.

I had some big projects this year, ones that made me sit back and finally feel a bit of relief from all of the hustle because they made my year more stable, and more interesting and gave me the juice to carry on.

I began this year with a contract at La Movida sewing and design creating images for their website so they can sell fabric and notions online. I had a sweet little setup and got to work with friends which was a huge bonus. Laurie is a powerhouse and a great inspiration to work with, always creating and laughing. This gig was a perfect start to 2023.

You know those projects that bring you joy, the ones that bring you the cool people to work with, the ones that set your creative heart ablaze with hope and love. I had a few and I am beyond grateful for them. So much so that I haven’t been able to go back and look at the images like I usually do because I don’t want to break the seal. I just want the memory to stay as it was and not worry about adding the images to my website or social platforms.

I got to work with some really cool new clients like Denu and Home Team Models. Denim and diverse models are two things that I really look for and I found both in these clients.

I got to work for an entire semester creating marking and social media content at LaSalle College and I look forward to joining them again this year to make more magic.

I got to work with a wonderful stylist and create content for The Ecologyst where we received some amazing SWAG after the shoot.

I spent so much time in the studio working with wonderful models doing digitals, doing creatives and capturing my own denim collection. Alex Waber runs Doris and I was lucky enough to rent there for a year and a half. He is supported by Monika an amazing model and stylist who I got to work with creatively and commercially. We also celebrated the new year together in 2022/23 with some crazy karaoke.

I made some amazing new friends in this industry and was able to let my restaurant gigs go. I did pick up a part-time gig at The Only on Davie. It’s a brand new location and a sister store to their fabulous location on Commercial Drive. I love vintage and I have found a wonderful new home there with some great staff and amazing finds.

2023 was a challenging year for all of us and as we continue into this next chapter I know we are holding our noses as we are about to jump into what feels like the deep end. I just wanted to give a whole heap of gratitude for what I was lucky enough to experience because I also could not have done any of this without the amazing friends and clients I have. To you, I tip my hat and I can’t wait to create and collaborate our way through this next year too.

I will leave you with one of my favourite images from last year. I am still sorting through the mound that I have to choose from to update my websites, for now, 1 new one will have to do.

Ethan, Panorama editorial for Vigour Mag.

This was gold.

We shot on my rooftop and had to climb out of my kitchen window to get access, shhh, don’t tell anyone. Ethan is so fun to work with and brought a lot of the wardrobe we used for the shoot, I of course mixed in some of my wardrobe too. Overall the results are #Gold.
