I’m a post-secondary trained photographer, a graduate from SAIT’s Journalism Arts Programs. Besides news coverage, I was taught how to pose people well, and studio lighting, as well as extensive courses in photo editing. I was a sports reporter and photographer, using my camera every day, for all kinds of photography, in all kinds of conditions. In sleeting rain, from a helicopter, you name it, ju
st about, and I’ve done it. I’ve been shooting weddings, events, birthdays, engagements, family portraits etc, since college, so I’ve been taking photos since 2005. I’ve been full-time, working for myself as a photographer since 2014. Got a gaggle of rambunctious kids? I’m patient and fast on the trigger to keep up, having perfected freeze-action photography as a sports reporter. I’ve got kids of my own, I know what it’s like! No sweat, I’ve shot whole graduating classes and family reunions. Now after three years of working with families, I’m quite comfortable and adept at posing people, though I still find the best pictures are what couples and families do naturally, with just a little bit of help. I’m in Ponoka now, but will travel to Red Deer, and anywhere else within 30-45 minutes without charging mileage. I’ve never failed to deliver quality images to a client, in a timely manner, and I believe my clients leave happy with their experience! I currently offer outdoor lifestyle sessions of all kinds, including family, maternity, newborn, graduation, engagement and individual portraits in Central Alberta.
