Another great in the books! A labour of love by all the crew, volunteers and of course speakers!

Always a fun energetic day!

Many thanks to for the behind scenes pic of me in action. I usually wear all black and sulk around in the shadows, hoping not to be seen!

If you are interested in getting involved in the event, want to become a speaker or even help me photograph the day, please reach out! I'd love the help documenting this busy day!

Congratulations to Lisa and the entire Poise team on the successful launch of Pause, a magazine focused on women’s health, on behalf of The Menopause Practice.

The Menopause Practice is a community leader in personalized, evidence-based women’s health care. Their mission is to build a community where women can openly express their concerns, receive the necessary testing for an accurate diagnosis, and develop a care plan that fits their lifestyle and values.

It was so fun to work on this project, meeting so many amazing women. Check out the issue, at their website https://themenopausepractice.ca/pause/

From where I stand, behind the lens, seeing one of my images land on the cover of a magazine feels increasingly rare these days, print is a harder and harder medium to break into. So the thrill of this moment runs even deeper. Huge thanks to the editors at Prairie Fire for choosing my work to front their Manitoba Kitchen Party issue. And honestly? I’m a big fan of the compact size, too. It fits the hand perfectly.

Rahma Community and Youth Centre’s Bright Beginnings mentorship program connects refugee and immigrant youth ages 12 to 17 with mentors from their community. The program supports goal-setting, confidence, resilience, and social skills through one-on-one meetings, weekly activities like basketball, workshops, and field trips.

I had so much fun photographing everyone at this game. Just had to watch out for any stray shots coming my way!
Head over to the Winnipeg Foundation to read more about this program!

For many years, I worked in a black-and-white darkroom, where I had complete control over every step of the photographic process—from capturing the image to producing the final print. Throughout the 1990s, many of the portraits I created were in black and white. Some days I miss all that, Ok maybe not the chemical stains on my clothes, but the black and white portraits.

There’s something uniquely powerful about black-and-white photography. Without the distraction of colour, the focus shifts to light, shadow, texture, and emotion. It invites viewers to connect more deeply with the subject and appreciate the subtleties of expression and form. That timeless quality is part of why so many people are drawn to it.

Still, that artistic preference doesn’t always align with commercial decisions. So it was especially meaningful, and welcomed, when the team at Independent Jewellers reached out and specifically requested staff portraits in black and white.

The knowledgeable staff at IJL work with the aesthetic and timeless beauty of fine jewelry and watches, and each portrait is accompanied by a brief bio that highlights their individual talents. I’m very grateful to have had the opportunity to capture the people behind a successful local business like IJL

Don Starkell came up in one of the many Facebook groups I follow about local history.

It reminded me of this old blog post in 2010 where I photographed Don after he suffered his house fire.

I Took the time ot recent how the session unfolded and how I solved some of the challenges.

After Don Starkell was severely injured in a house fire, Canoe&Kayak magazine called me and wanted a portrait of Don for their paddling legends feature. Don is most...

Every year, CBC Manitoba’s Future 40 showcases some of the brightest young minds and influential change-makers under age 40, who are blazing their own trails to a brighter future for the province.

I felt so grateful to be asked by CBC Manitoba to photograph the winners of Future40. It was a great opportunity to get to know each of them while creating their portraits. I photographed them in a variety of poses, and some of the alternates were used as thumbnails for the video interviews.

Sometimes what seems like the easiest thing to photography turns out to be harder than you think.

I’m old school so I always endeavour to get things things right in camera. When “fixing it in post” means unbillable hours for my client it’s the least I can do
