Ha Ling Mountain

nforret — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 15:25:39 +0000

A while back, when the snow was only just starting to fall down to meet us, a friend and I decided to climb Ha Ling Mountain. It was absolutely stunning. Like most of our climbs, we like to get there before anyone else. This time was no different. There was a fresh foot of snow, subtle animal tracks, and the sun hadn’t even risen yet when we started our climb. It’s hard to describe how inspiring a good climb, beautiful scenes, and fresh air in your lungs can be. So I suggest to everyone to try it themselves! Here are some photos from our climb:

Life Needs Adventure

In the near future, you’re going to notice a big change in the work I do for my business. Even this site is going to get flipped around, as I’m starting to change the type of photography I shoot to outdoor adventure sports. It’ll take a bit longer to change than I’d like, but I promise you will see some great shots of all those outdoor activities we love so much! Including (but not limited to) hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, kayaking, snowboarding, mountain climbing, etc. It’s an exciting active time in my life, and I’ve decided to take my style of photography with me. I’ll still be doing families, weddings, portraits and pets for about a year as the transition takes place. But it will be less as times goes on. Photography is a learning experience in everyday life. I for one hope it’s a skill I never perfect, but always keep learning about! Here’s some photos from my hike of Mount Rundle’s south summit. Life needs adventure!

Everyone Loves Food

I’m a big fan of food. I love cooking, watching those cooking reality shows (Hell’s Kitchen, Top Chef, Pitchin’ In, etc) or even just trying other’s ideas. Beyond that, of course I’m a big fan of food photography. So here’s a couple attempts of me starting to get in to the world of photographing yet another thing I love so much. Expect to see plenty more.

Twestival & Other Things

Last week was Twestival Calgary 2011, and for those of you who don’t know what that is; it’s a twitter festival! Very awesome event, for those of us who love networking and getting to know new people. It’s perfect for learning, sharing your business, learning about others or just meeting in general. I was able to meet some very talented photographers and swap advice. Other then that, up until a couple days ago, it’s been snowing here again. The snow seems to have stuck to things in an interesting way. But that’s ok, we have sunshine again! And it’s warm enough to go out in a t-shirt. Here’s hoping it sticks, and we’ll be able to enjoy shorts, sandals and some outdoor photo shoots without the need of a scarf.

It’s Been Busy

It’s been a bit busy lately, and unfortunately my news page has been neglected. So I thought I’d start to get myself back in it by updating with some recent personal photos.

New Members of the Family Need Photos

Especially around this season, there may be some new members to your family. Whether it is a baby, or a new pet. With this new member, you’re going to want those memories because they grow up so very quickly. Every year may seem as a moment, and I’m here to help remember that moment.

It’s Cold Outside

It’s getting cold outside. But that’s no reason to stay put inside! With all this snow, it’s a beautiful season to get some photos taken and show that real Canadians love the snow! Cold never stops us. Also, for those days you do decide to relax, it might be nice to have some photos to look at while enjoying that hot beverage.

Calgary, A Brand New Start

nforret — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 19:33:39 +0000

So I’ve been admittedly less efficient in keeping my news up to date. I am now a Calgary based photographer! Sorry for anyone who was hoping to hire me back in Fredericton, I really wish I could’ve photographed for you. But it’s a brand new start in this city, so I figured I’d show some pictures from the start of a brand new day.

Summer is Ending

That’s right, summer is only here for a little while longer. Which doesn’t leave too much time to get in those sunny vacations, or even late summer weddings. If you need a photographer to capture those moments, I’d be more than happy to help you out.

It’s Beautiful Out

nforret — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 15:19:27 +0000

Like I said, it’s beautiful out! I’m sure most of you are fighting to have those sunny days off work. Have a walk in the park, a camping trip, a little TreeGo, thrown in with some BBQ and a cold drink to top it off. Well, if you feel like maybe getting some photos done too in this perfect weather, then bring me along, and I’ll help you remember those days.
