t vision into photographs of authenticity. Since the start my passion has always been in photographing people and the stories that surround us. I absolutely treasure capturing moments that stir emotions and wonder (especially the fleeting ones) therefore my photojournalistic style has naturally evolved to be cinematic, artful and candid. My primary focus is always on my subjects and I have a gift for recognizing and capturing their unique strengths as well as their best angles-which in my opinion is one of the most important elements in creating great portraits. I've come to a conclusion that no matter how far digital technology may advance there are elements of film that simply cannot be replicated. Therefore I shoot both film and digital in my work to best tell your story in the style that is uniquely mine. And this affection is what always gets me so excited to get to know you more and make beautiful images together. I am an avid exerciser, skier and a musician at heart. I am a Jesus-centred, shame-free, family-loving man: father to 2 amazing children and a very lucky husband to an incredible wife. I thank God daily for the gift of life, home and family that we've been given here in Vancouver, BC. I'm both driven and humbled by the thought of being a positive influence to those around me and perhaps even a "role model" to some. It truly does bring me great joy and a further sense of purpose in life. There's probably a few more things left to say about myself but I think that's already more than enough. Let's talk much more about you and your story!
