It’s a girl! … and another girl!

Posted on July 31, 2013 | Comments Off on It’s a girl! … and another girl!

There are probably many moments in life where you step back and tell yourself that this is something you will remember for the rest of your life. Your first day at school. Your first time on a bike. Your first kiss. Your wedding day.

For me, the day that I found out my wife and I were going to have twins was one of those days.
Four weeks ago these twins were born. That day will truly be the most memorable day of my life. My wife was a champ and pushed these two out 10 mins apart and poof, just like that, we were a family of four.

This past year has been nothing short of milestones in my life. It’s funny to think that this time last year I was neither a husband nor a father (of two). I’m proud of both milestones and looking forward to the rough road of fatherhood!

To Alice and Simone, I love you both already so much.

CULT MTL – Best of 2013

Posted on June 20, 2013 | Comments Off on CULT MTL – Best of 2013

After the Montreal Mirror was unexpectedly shut down last year, some of the writers and editors started up their own anglophone free paper called Cult MTL. I’ve stayed in touch and recently did a shoot for their “Best of Montreal” which basically follows the Mirrors format of best-of’s in town. Big props to these guys for rising from the ashes of the Mirror. Looking forward to shooting more for them in the future.

Plumes

Posted on June 17, 2013 | Comments Off on Plumes

A friend of mine forwarded my photo taking skills to this band, the Plumes who were looking for a photographer to shoot their next promo for their Canadian west coast tour. They have a great sound with lead singer, Veronica’s beautiful ethereal voice and Geof’s melodic composing.
I felt bad because I led them into some yucky wet mud. Sorry guys!Oh, and there’s a harpist in the band. Wicked no?

Little Burgundy

Posted on June 11, 2013 | Comments Off on Little Burgundy

It’s always nice to go back to an old neighbourhood where you once lived. It’s even better when you’re assigned to shoot a story about the neighbourhood. That’s what re:Porter Magazine had me do a few months back. Everyone in Montreal knows about Little Burgundy’s strip of cool. It’s a great strip that has really helped liven up this area of town in the last few years. Check out the spread and some out take shots that didn’t make it to print.

Timmins

Posted on February 25, 2013 | Comments Off on Timmins

Timmins Ontario wouldn’t be my first choice of destination but I was pleasantly surprised by the very kind and inviting people there. This was a shoot I did for re:Porter last year. I got to pet some moose and see the Shania Twain Center! I didn’t actually go inside though. I guess there’s a reason why it’s now closed.

Tremblant

Posted on February 8, 2013 | Comments Off on Tremblant

For this month’s cover of re:Porter for Porter Airlines, I was assigned to shoot a story about Mont Tremblant ski resort. It’s the biggest ski resort in the Montreal area.

I hadn’t snowboarded or skied in over 3 years before this assignment. Luckily my assistant was great on his skis so he happily lugged my camera bag. It felt weird to be back on my board but it all came back to me after a few minutes!

Alcatraz

Posted on November 2, 2012 | Comments Off on Alcatraz

On my recent trip to San Francisco, I decided to do the tourist thing and head over to Alcatraz Island. This old prison island has always been one of the places I wanted to go to. I love abandoned old buildings. Although they have converted this island to a natural reserve and a bit of a tourist attraction, it’s still pretty amazing the history behind this prison.

Northern California – Part 3 – San Francisco

Posted on November 1, 2012 | Comments Off on Northern California – Part 3 – San Francisco

This was my first time to San Francisco. I’ve always heard great things about this city and have always wanted to visit. I can honestly say now, if there was one big city I’d like to permanently live in (the U.S.) it would have to be San Francisco. Great weather, scenery, food, transportation and really nice people. What’s not to like? Here is me being touristy in SF. I’ll definitely be back again.

Northern California – Part 2 – The Coast, Mendocino and Muir Woods Forest

Posted on October 31, 2012 | Comments Off on Northern California – Part 2 – The Coast, Mendocino and Muir Woods Forest

Mendocino is a small town along the coast a few hours north of San Francisco. Muir Woods is a natural reserve park is an amazing place to hike. Northern California is, in my experience, the prettiest place I’ve visited in the United States.
