As far back as I can remember, creating beautiful imagery has been my obsession. I began my journey into photography about ten years ago when during a family trip to Nova Scotia I would sneak away at every opportunity to capture the beautiful scenery around me. I noticed in those moments that everything else in life seemed to fade into the background and for someone with such an active mind, I very quickly welcomed it into my life. I realized that I had a gift in seeing the world in a unique way, telling a story with a click of a shutter was a challenge I looked forward every day! My time growing up was always divided between sports, my pet's, travel, and my passion for expressing myself through photography. It began with landscape photography which taught me about the importance of lighting and seeing something beautiful in every place I had the chance to explore. Freezing these beautiful moments in my life lead me into capturing those beautiful moment's in others and quickly my work started gathering praise by family members, friends, and eventually businesses and various publications. I knew I had found my true career path in professional photography when I started shooting weddings. The amount of energy and emotion packed into a single day boggled my mind! Wanting to take things to the next level I enrolled in business marketing at Conestoga College where I developed my second and most important skill, exceptional customer service. It's something that falls only slightly lower on the list then the actual photos themselves and I guarantee every client that I will give them the most professional and stress free experience they could ever hope for. Because of this, any initial meeting or consultation is complimentary. I want to get to know you and exactly what it is you want before we proceed, honesty is the cornerstone in every relationship so I ask to except nothing less from me or the service that I provide.

Big Island Hawaii, Usa

During this three month contract I was responsible for managing 8 acres of farmland, including animal care and 3 greenhouse buildings. On top of this daily responsibility I was lead photographer, producing images and complete albums for promotional purposes. I was also given the opportunity to manage Island Goode's brand dehydrated fruit snacks where I would harvest, cook, and sell the product to local health food stores. Communicating observations, ideas, plans of action, and day-by-day reports in weekly morning meetings were essential to ensuring that all projects were completed in a timely manner.
