URBAN OUTFITTERS

Over the course of last week, I was busy shooting a fashion branding assignment in the style of "Urban Outfitters". I'm very pleased with the outtakes and selections I have so far. I was so lucky to have access to a beautiful location as well, Keffer Mansion ! Be sure to check out there website linked below and if you're ever in Niagara on the Lake, it's a beautiful place to have lunch!  Link: http://www.keefermansion.com

Hello Viewers!

Over the thanksgiving weekend, I had the joy and excitement of doing my first car shoot! There were some challenges for sure, as far as lighting the car goes, but overall I'm pleased with my image. I will be posting the before and after photos, so you all can see the different images combined all together to create one final shot!

Anyone who knows me, knows that time is something that I value. Things are changing so rapidly around us and as photographers we are only able to capture so much. At the begging of last year I began to start a photo series of my great-grandparents and included photos of their lifestyle. This series is inspired by something my grandmother once said. She said she usually cried at least once each day not because she was sad, but because the world was so beautiful and life was so short. This series is based around my grandparents simple life style and the beauty this simplicity brings.

The one behind the lens

I grew up in Niagara On the Lake with a supportive family and a lot of love.
Although I'm working my way towards a Bachelor of Arts in photography I like to believe that my "eye" comes from my grandmother pointing out beautiful moments my entire life.
I believe that the most beautiful quality one can have is a beautiful heart and I believe this can be captured in a photo.
I am a firm believer that love is art, that anything is possible and that you have the ability to design and create your own life.
I have a peaceful heart.
I love the sea, think mermaids are probably real and will stop the car for beautiful light.
I like to think that the world is good, photography can change the world and my images might bring you happiness.
I love fresh air, big skies, good company and a room with a view.
I choose to see beauty everywhere.
