2021 Favorites

2021 marked my 10th year in business as a Prince Edward Island Photographer! I can’t even begin to describe the experiences I’ve had over the last decade of photography and how grateful I am for everyone who has supported me along the way. I’ve met thousands of people and been in the room for so many important moments in people’s lives. It’s overwhelming to think of all the connections I’ve made, all the places it’s taken me, and all the laughs we’ve had. I truly appreciate everyone and all of the kindness people have showed me over the years.

This year I felt we were a little more back on our feet after a difficult 2020, and I was happy to see some of my clients able to go through with the weddings they originally planned. Celebrations were both big and small but all were just as important.

In addition to a successful wedding season we continued with more of our Mini Weddings at The Carriage House, I photographed a limited number of family sessions, and had a very busy year of corporate clients. I also had the pleasure of teaching almost 20 group photography workshops to many organizations and small businesses across PEI.

A huge thank you to everyone who was a part of my business this year!

Continuing with my yearly tradition I’m going to share some of my favorite wedding and portrait photos of 2021.

I hope you love these as much as I do! Enjoy.

It goes without saying, this year has been completely different than any other year in business. At times it was stressful, sad, and defeating. It obviously wasn’t a great year to be in the business of large gatherings and big celebrations. But looking back on these photos it’s much easier to appreciate the positives of the year and feel fortunate that I was still able to capture so many moments.

It was a tough year for all of us but on the other hand it was a restart, a challenge to overcome, and a year to put everything into perspective. Clients adapted, changed plans many times, and appreciated relationships more than ever. While photographing this year I noticed over and over again that people seemed so happy to just be together and they didn’t take it for granted. I saw a greater sense of calm from everyone, and a bigger appreciation for our Island more than ever.

Due to the cooperation of all Islanders we were very lucky to be able to gather in small groups, hold small weddings, and open our bubble to Atlantic Canada for a few months. In the end, I still photographed some weddings, met lots of new people, and shared many great days with clients new and old. Even after a wild year, I once again feel fortunate to be a photographer on Prince Edward Island.

This 2020 collection is a toast to everyone who made the most of a difficult year and still found joy in the moments big and small.

Enjoy!

This end of year post is so rewarding to create each time as I get to look back on every photo taken during the year. Photography takes me to so many new places to meet people and I get to capture some really big moments in their lives. My clients welcome me with open arms and that’s the reason we are able to capture these personal moments. Thank you to every person who was behind the camera this year, it’s been a true pleasure sharing these days with you. Happiness and love really radiate from these photos and that is so great to see.

Please enjoy this collection of some of my personal favorite photos from my wedding and portrait work in 2019.

2018 Favorites

2018 brought another year of adventure. New people, new places, and so many new experiences. I’ve been welcomed into the lives of strangers and friends during nearly 200 photo shoots this past year. It is always a time consuming and difficult task of narrowing down my personal favorite photos from my wedding and portrait work, only some of which can fit in this post. For many different reasons, these are the photos that stand out to me personally.

Working with people every day is the best part of this job, and being invited to be a part of all your moments is so appreciated. To every single person who was behind the camera this year, I thank you for allowing me to tell a little part of your story. I’ve had a blast. 2019 is sure to be another big year, and I hope to see you along the way.

Many thanks, and enjoy.

2017 Favorites

Sitting down and compiling this collection is always something I look forward to every year. It allows me to look back on everything I've captured that year and choose my personal favorite photos. For many different reasons, these are some of the shots that stand out.

In 2017 we delivered a total of nearly 29,000 photos to wedding, portrait, and commercial clients. Thinking about that number is overwhelming, and thinking of all of that work is too. But year after year I continue to love this creative field that introduces me to so many people, making real connections along the way. To absolutely everyone who trusted and hired me this past year, I appreciate you so much. A huge thank you as well to everyone who followed along or gave support in any way!

2017 seemed to be a year of surprises for my business and I'm so fortunate for all of these opportunities. My favorite photography podcast recorded an episode about me, I hired my first part time employee, was contracted by the New York Times, and was named one of the top 25 most inspiring photographers in Canada. What a ride! 

Without the fun and interesting interactions, dynamics, and relationships of clients, there would be nothing. A photograph aims to tell the story of what happened, so thank you all for providing these amazing stories. 

Enjoy ~

There are so many Thank Yous to be given at the end of each year. To everyone including all the amazing brides and grooms, the family members who helped organize their family photo sessions, the wedding guests who let me sit with them at their table, the people who showed up nervous to their shoot and left relaxed, the fellow wedding vendors who created beauty, the fiances who helped pick out their partner's outfit, the kids that made us laugh, the limo drivers who took us around, the people that didn't grumble when I asked to take their photo, and to absolutely everyone else who was behind my lens this year......I thank you.

2016 took me near and far, seeing so much and meeting so many. To think of all the amazing experiences and moments I've had the pleasure of being a part of can be overwhelming, but looking back through every folder makes me smile, laugh, and say 'awww' too many times. Thank you to each and every client who trusted me to capture a part of their lives this year. Here's a look back at some of my personal favorites photos from another year of the coolest job ever. 

Enjoy.

From East Point to North Cape, from Belfast to Cape Egmont, from PEI to New Brunswick, 2015 has taken me far and wide capturing the moments that matter to you. I sincerely cannot thank each and every client enough for putting their trust in me this year. It's been an honor capturing every wedding, family, couple, commercial job, and everything else in between. 

Each year I sift through every session to choose my personal favorite shots to share. For many different reasons these shots are just a few of the ones that stick with me. I hope you enjoy this collection and I cannot wait to see what 2016's will bring. 

Enjoy,

2014 Favorites

A collection of some of my personal favorite photos from the 2014 year. For many different reasons these photos stuck out to me as memorable in some way, whether it be the client's expressions, the memory of that moment, or even the technical side of the photo. These photos also document many of the places I've traveled to and the people I've met along the way. Photography has allowed me to capture countless memories shared with so many individuals. From January 1st to December.31st, thank you to everyone who invited me to share these moments with you. 

I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!
