Happy Graduation Season! Do you have a new grad, or are you celebrating the end of a school year? How about remembering them with some photos! I’m looking to book some folks for some mini sessions. For $75, you will get a half hour session outdoors, and 5-7 edited photos. I’m looking to do these on the next few Saturdays, but special arrangements can be made as well.

If you’re planning a graduation or birthday party, I can be an excellent party favour there too! I now have the equipment to run a Photo Booth! If you’d like a Photo Booth at your next gathering, inquire within!

Let’s try it again, I’m at Wortley Pride today, doing the Photo Booth and selling prints. $20 for a portrait, $10 for a print. I even have silly hats! Come check me out!

Who’s got two thumbs and forgot to post about the event this weekend. Yup, this guy.

Saturday I return with my kit to the Green for Wortley Pride 2026. I’ll be on the opposite side of the park this time, doing the same thing. Hopefully a different result.

Come by, say hi, get a photo!

You know, sometimes I doubt myself, like we all do. I don't feel like I can do it, I don't feel like I'm good enough. Then I pull out something like this.

I also included the raw photo for comparison. This turned out absolutely fantastic. A little cropping, a little colour tuning, and we get this gorgeous photo. Then I gain my confidence back.

I know my subject probably didn't want me to post it, but she said I could use the shoot in my portfolio, and I don't like to post pictures of children in public places so... The shoot turned out fantastic, the other photos with the children look amazing, I actually can do a great session!

Shot on my Nikon Z5, with the 85mm S 1.8 lens. That bokeh, and the razor sharp focus. Beautiful.

You know I had a minute to reflect today. Why do I shoot.

It’s pretty simple. Moneys nice, and I do like technology and nerdy stuff like cameras. But the best feeling I get is when a person says “I’m not photogenic…” and I take their picture and they go “Wow!”. THAT is why I shoot. For that minute of “Wow!”. It gives people confidence, that I can bring out that “Wow!” in people. Not through ai, or creative editing either, it’s just enhancing what’s already there.

Truth be told, my editing process is VERY minimal compared to others. I try to shoot perfect out of the camera, so all I have to do is crop and straighten my shots. I’m lazy, I admit it. It’s all about posing and angles.

Comment below, have you had a “Wow!” moment I’ve captured? Post the pictures!

Well this weekend didn’t go nearly to plans. I just have to dust myself off, get up and learn from my mistakes. Hopefully the Wortley Pride event goes better!

This is on Saturday, and I’ll try again at the Photo Booth. I have a whole bunch of props ready, my backdrop is loaded.

But not before I shoot Ryker at the Special Olympics tomorrow! I’m super excited for this event too!

Today’s the day folks! I’m at the Gathering on the Green in Wortley Village selling prints and taking photos! My booth faces Duchess Ave., near the corner of Duchess and Wortley Rd. Come out, say hi and get a photo!

One… more… day! Tomorrow I will be at Gathering on the Green in Wortley Village. I will be running a Photo Booth, as well as selling some of my prints. Come on out and say hi! I have a bin full of silly hats and stuff too! Fun for all!

And because why not, here’s Thor enjoying his life.
