I am a wedding photographer and an on location lifestyle portrait photographer based in Truro, Nova Scotia.   I love to explore places I've never been before and scout out new locations for sessions.   So call me!  I'll probably be able to travel to wherever you are for a photo shoot.  If you prefer to come to me, I am constantly on the lookout for new and unique settings right here in the Colchester area.

I'll be posting some samples of my latest work on the blog, and most likely offering up a few comments about the experience of capturing those images.

Birthday Party Models//Truro Portrait Photographer//

What did I learn about 8 year old girls?

1.  They still have those fuzzy little bangs at their hairline where new hair is growing in.

2.  Lip gloss is a trap for hair; and/or cracker crumbs  (eaten while driving from location to location)

3.  They don’t necessarily take direction well  :)

4.  They obviously don’t need direction because they turn out super model poses I couldn’t have dreamed up.  Where do they see this stuff??

The shoot had two themes  – first up SUPER MODELS and then sweet little girls. They were both!  All that fun –   and   -  ice cream after!  Perfection!

Goodbye High School: Hello World!// Truro High School Grad Photographer//

Thousands and thousands of years ago when I graduated from high school one of my best friends bought a ring for herself, me and our other best friend.   It was a pinkie ring and it had the number “3″ engraved on it.   The three of us against the world.  Best friends forever!

Best friends – true friends of any kind – are what get you through.   So Kayla and Jessica – here’s hoping you truly stay BFF (and looking just as beautiful as you are today).

Dream Big! // Nova Scotia High School Grad Photographer//

Tonight is graduation and safe grad night at CEC, but last week I was excited to shoot some dressed up, gussied up, glamed up and gorgeous grads and their dates before their prom.  Every year for as long as I can remember I have gone to watch at the gardens or the prom venue to see the beautiful gowns, hairstyles and also the fun and funky outfits  people dream up to be different and stand out from the crowd.  I know I also think back with lots of fun memories to when it was my turn at the prom.  Best of luck to all these wonderful people as they head off with their hearts full of promise.  Dream big!

Pretty dresses, flowers, an ice cream sundae, a favorite aunt to help accessorize  -  what more could a little girl ask for?   So, so serious and thoughtful one minute,  an infectious giggle the next.  Absolutely beautiful in every way.

Just Because Shoot/ Playa del Carmen, Mexico//Nova Scotia Portrait Photographer

“Oh, Mexico
It sounds so sweet with the sun sinking low
Moon’s so bright like to light up the night
Make everything all right”

To paraphrase Sweet Baby James, I’d never really been there so I just had to go.  When the opportunity came up for a shoot at The Royal in the stunning Playa del Carmen I just couldn’t say no.  And now, I just wanna go back!

Sweetness x 2/ Nova Scotia Children’s Photographer

So much sweetness – so little time.  (Er, I meant to say ruggedness John)I am leaving in the morning for Mexico and wanted to get a few pics up – for their many fans – of these adorable twins.  More to say/more pics when I get back!

I LOVE SPRING! //Truro Portrait Photographer//

This is the daphne bush in my backyard. Soon there will be bloodroot blooming, then my PJM rhodie, irises, forget-me-nots, violets, and so on. Spring is here early and I am in the mood to get an early start on photos sessions!

Olivia//Nova Scotia Children’s Photographer

A few weeks ago Olivia and I went out into her back yard to play.  What an incredible beauty she is!  In a few weeks we are going to do a fashion photo shoot with her and three or four of her friends for her eighth birthday.  Isn’t that a great idea?  If you are interested in booking something similar for your budding model, get in touch.  In the meantime, here is Olivia.
