Hello 2020! It’s been a while, friends. Almost 7 months . . . . .

Have things been busy? Absolutely. Have I had the time to blog? Absolutely. Will I take advantage of the time I have to blog in the coming season and avoid the mistakes of yesteryear? Absolutely. I have to. I owe it to myself, and I owe it to you. There have been a number of incredible projects and celebrations from the past two years that I’d like to share - in the coming weeks those will slowly make their way to my website.

Alongside those galleries will be a couple of opinion pieces - things that I’ve wanted to get off my chest for quite some time (including my decision to shutter most of my social media accounts!) as well as the formal announcement of a contest for the 2022 calendar year. The prize will be free wedding coverage to one lucky couple and it will involve a real world scavenger hunt and none of that ‘share this post ‘x’ amount of times or ‘like this’ or ‘like that’ nonsense. Full details will follow - be prepared to sharpen your problem solving pencils.

And now for something completely different.

These two. Jumping from one rock to the next along the shores of Crystal Crescent Beach Provincial Park. Enjoying the late September sun and some unusually warm temperatures. Hurricane Dorian had visited earlier in the month and as it left our region a mass of cool air moved in. Sweaters came out. Pumpkin Spice Latte was on my mind. Leaves began to change. But then for a brief moment the mercury rose. A meteorologist would have a proper explanation for the change - there would be charts and diagrams and a computer screen in the background. Blue arrows. Red arrows. Real science stuff.

But I’d like to think it happened for these two. For these moments.

“We’ve never had our photos taken before and we have no idea what we’re doing. What should we wear?” Not an exact quote, but it does apply to them, as it does to most of my other clients. Then we meet. And it’s fun. Nothing is overly forced and an effort is made to keep things as organic as possible. Will I ask questions along the way? Absolutely. Will I share a bad joke or two? Absolutely. Sometimes there are more.

But then photos like this happen.

I’ll be in touch soon, friends. Thank you for your patience.
