Drone Flying Lessons
Last week I took a couple of my friends and future summer students on a bike ride and drone flying lesson to learn how to take photos using a drone!
Must resist urge to pet dogs.
Do you know how hard it is to fight the urge to pet the dogs while photographing and filming a SuperDogs show? IT'S REALLY HARD OKAY-THEYARESOCUTEOMG.
Filming burgers with The Works!
This is a little montage of just a small fraction of the shenanigans we got up to while working with this fantastic crew of peeps.
Sound recording, mixing, and mastering
Audio is super overlooked compared to visuals but the truth is, higher level audio production makes a bigger difference in our subliminal feeling of production value and quality than better visuals. Don't cheap out on audio! It's part of digital content production!
Hiring my mom.
How many other people can hire their mom and aunt for a last minute client shoot and then just end up hanging out their mom all day? I can. And I did.
Photography Class Fit Check
If I need to walk around in a Dumbledore beard and top hat for them to remember this class, smile, and dust off that camera on the shelf... then by golly, I'll wear that annoying beard every day.
Bow and Arrows and Rock Climbing at Work?!
More behind-the-scenes of us working a few weeks ago on a super fun shoot! Any time I get to rock climb or shoot a bow and arrow on the job is a good day.
The student becomes the teacher.
We were asked to be interviewed a few weeks ago to tell the story of our serendipity and I snapped this shot before Jen's interview telling everyone what a harsh and brutal teacher I am (kidding!).
Commercial Video BTS
Last week I posted the commercial ad we produced and here is the behind-the-scenes on how we went about creating it!
Wide Eyed Energy Commercial
Lately I've been itching to create a high quality commercial so we created this spec ad featuring @wideeyedenergy and @collectivebrew.
Petting a cockroach and feeding a tortoise for work.
Here's another behind-the-scenes look at me at work. It must be so boring, right?! ... No. Never at my job.
Jumping off a 2-story pillar for a shot
I didn't expect to have to jump off a 2-story pillar but here we are. Another week of behind-the-scenes (BTS) from a recent shoot.
Making a physical album!
This past fall we shot a beautiful wedding and the couple wanted up to compile some of our favourite shots to put together into a coffee table book. So with the help of my partner Vicki, we designed this album.
Combining seasons in a photo
This was an photography idea I had in the fall time that I wanted to try.
Congrats to a new mom!
Congratulations to this new mom that trusted us with capturing some belly photos during Christmas time!
Putting pasta on my camera.
This is what it’s like putting pasta on my camera lens for the sake of the video!
Make 2026 a good one!
Out there, it's cold and depressing and I'm not just talking about the weather. But we are back in action photographing wonderful people with Vaughan Recreation and working with them warms my soul back up.
Creating work shirts!
I know it’s really affordable nowadays to make custom apparel with all these dropshipping companies, but I wanted to find a more environmentally-friendly way of creating work shirts for myself by just customizing old shirts I have laying around rather than creating more fast-fashion waste.
Falling in a River for the Shot
Client work often slows down over the winter. Many photographers and filmmakers I know even choose not to shoot in the cold months because of how inconvenient and uncomfortable it can be.
Awkward Portraits
@duocaptures invited us for an awkward photoshoot and boy do I love me some awkwardness so obviously Vicki and I jumped at the opportunity!
