Wading into 2018
Some years I’m ready to jump into the new year with both feet. This year I’m wading in slowly. January is nearly through and I haven’t declared my New Years resolutions or inked out a to-do list on paper. The last months of the year tore by wet and hurried as a hurricane and I’m […]

One Second Everyday: May
Things have been busy around here but I’m still shooting photos and videos daily and editing whenever I get a chance. My May One Second Everyday video is the beginning of what is sure to be an epic collection of summer memories. After months and months and months of rain the sun finally started shining […]
Kelp & Moss: PKOLS in April

Gracie and I read The Secret Garden last year and decided that we’d do a special photoshoot based on the book this spring. We love planning character shoots as a creative activity together. […]

Kelp & Moss: Snowshoeing, Mt. Washington
During spring break we spent a couple of days up at Mt. Washington. Sean and I used to go up with friends when we were in university, but we had never taken the kids. We’re not especially experienced skiers or snowboarders, so anytime we head up to the mountains it’s mostly just to play in the snow. […]
The Magic of Character Shoots
I ask my kids to participate in a lot of photo shoots. Usually it’s as simple as wearing a particular item of clothing to a specific location (I love styled shoots). Generally they don’t have to do much actual modeling, they just need to be themselves and I do the rest. Usually I have a vision and […]
