Since I’ve never really done a proper intro post, here goes nothin’ eh? 😄

I’m Shane, a photographer from Cape Breton Island, NS.

My passion for all things cameras started very young when I used to burn through my mom’s film because I liked the shutter sound and advancing the film.

I got my first camcorder in 2004 and spent years filming skateboarding. In early 2021, I picked up a camera and unexpectedly fell in love with photography.

These days you’ll find me behind a camera, on a skateboard, hiking to a waterfall, wandering around Cape Breton or trying to keep up with wherever my ADHD has decided we’re going next.

I love spending time with my wife, my dog Richard and cat Garrison.

Photography has introduced me to some incredible people and experiences, and I’m beyond grateful for every bit of it.

If you have an event or press release planned this summer and are looking for a photographer, I'd love to hear about it. Let’s chat ✌️📸

Earlier this month, Cape Breton University and the Dalhousie University Faculty of Medicine marked the grand opening of the Cape Breton Medical Campus.

This state of the art facility will support the education of future doctors in Nova Scotia and national wide.

It was an honour to cover such a historic day for CBU and our community. 📸🧡

Take a look at Island Wide Waterfall Weekend through my lens 📸

With the Inverary Resort on Baddeck Bay as our home base, we explored waterfalls, enjoyed Mary Frances at Big Spruce Brewing then blew a tire deep in the highlands on Saturday

Sunday kicked off with a 9am dance party at Highwheeler Cafe & Bakery with Jonathan Kanary and after that it was time to explore. The weekend wrapped up with a group hike to Kluscap’s Cave with Graham Marshall along with traditional drumming and story telling. This was truly an amazing experience.

Thank you Cape Breton Island for another wonderful Waterfall Weekend!

The fun isn’t over!! Don’t forget to download the waterfall app, explore the falls, check out the pit stops, enter to win the contest and have fun doing it!! ❤️

IIHF U18 World Women’s Hockey Championship 🇨🇦

Seeing women’s hockey celebrated on an international level right here on our little island was truly something special. Despite the gold medal game not having the outcome that a lot of us would have wanted, it was a wonderful week✨

Covering this was truly a pleasure but some really great people helped make it happen. You all know who you are and I cannot thank you all enough 🙏❤️

Last week, Cape Breton University hosted an exhibition game between Sweden & Switzerland for the U18 World Women’s Hockey Championship to mark the grand opening of the Kehoe Forum. 🧡

This event was made extra special with Fox Carney joining CBU President David Dingwall and CB Blizzard President Christina Lamey on the ice for the ceremonial puck drop. ✨

Seeing the rise of women’s hockey, especially here in Cape Breton, is truly something special and my gut tells me that it’s only going to keep growing. 🏒

So excited to see what’s to come with the Home of Women’s Hockey here on our island! 📍
