A Month in Review / March 2011
Wow… time seems to fly doesn’t it? It just feels like yesterday when I got back from Vegas and the WPPI convention where I learned so much from other industry leading professionals. The picture above is from my trip last year to Arizona and Utah with my good friends Chris and Chris (yes, a couple […]
Legaci Interview / Discovered by Justin Bieber
When Anne Claire Danan called me up one day and asked if I wanted to help her cover a story on Legaci I have to admit I was like, “who?!?”. We’ve all been there at one point or another. When someone you know helps you lead the way to new experiences. After saying yes I […]
New Client / Platoon FX
One of my newest clients is Platoon FX. They are a new gym here in Calgary focusing on a “physical fitness experience”. While most gyms target on gaining your membership and then letting you help yourself, this gym is different. They have expert staff that are dedicated to helping you out. Another different aspect of this […]
Mabuhay Calgary Advertisement / Happy St. Patrick’s Day
Once in awhile I do some house ads for the newspaper Mabuhay Calgary. This one had to be themed for St. Patrick’s Day and have a Filipino twist to it. It proved to be quite challenging to come up with an idea so I enlisted the help of the editor to help me out. She […]
Be My Valentine / Four Points Sheraton Charity Event
On Saturday I was lucky enough to be a part of a charity event at the Four Points Sheraton. Be My Valentine was such a fun time. Proceeds of the event went to the burn unit at the Foothills Hospital. Calgary Firefighters were auctioned off, burlesque dancers performed, there was great music and Casino Fun […]
The Cityscape Exhibit Opening Reception

Rising Edge Christmas Party / Red Carpet Booth
Rising Edge Technologies and Rising Edge Engineering had their company Christmas party in November. I thought I’d post a few pictures from the Red Carpet booth that my good friend George Cox took care of while I was doing the portrait booth. Great job Geroge! And thanks to Rising Edge Technologies and Rising Edge Engineering […]

Top 10 Tips for Getting Into Stock Photography
If you’ve ever picked up a magazine lately and admired the photos chances are the images you are looking at are stock. The likelihood goes up when you’re looking at advertising for business, travel or lifestyle magazines.

What Inspires You? Pt. 1
This is my first post in what hopes to be a long and perhaps never ending segment on inspiration. Sometimes we lose track of what inspires us to create. I know that I’m guilty of this quite often. We are too busy trying to pay the bills, get to work on time, driving the kids […]
Tina & Dave / Das Wedding
Boy what a hectic summer! One of my favourite weddings of this year (heck they’re all my favourite!) was back in July. Looking back I remember how hot the day began. It must have been 20 DegC at 10am. We arrived at Dave’s to be greeted with a row of Volkswagens. As you’ll see throughout […]
Help-Portrait Calgary / Dec. 4th, 2010

The conference was jam packed with eight industry leading professionals. I hoped to learn a lot and I did (I’ll talk more about Escalate Live on another post). Help-Portrait is an idea that […]

Leah Cronkite / Lifestyle Fitness Shoot
As a photographer the most weight I’m lifting these days is my Nikon with a 70-200mm lens attached. Not quite the workout that Leah Cronkite sees on a daily basis. Leah is a fitness model in Calgary. I had the fortunate opportunity to test with her. At the same time I was able to try […]
Khubsurat / Citytv Breakfast Television
Shaila and Domingo had asked me to do some stills during a morning taping of the Breakfast Show on Citytv. I barely got up at 5:30am to catch the filming around 7am. Being up till 1am the night before didn’t help matters so forgive me if this post cuts off short or if you were one of […]
Jiao & Robert / Engagement
I had such a great time with Jiao and Robert that cold chilly Saturday. Jiao, a doctor and Robert, a teacher have awesome personalities that came alive in the images. There were so many that I liked that I had trouble choosing which ones to show you! Now living in Vancouver they flew to Calgary […]
