Nature has a design? You mean it isn’t completely random? Have you ever turned the page on a new chapter of life and it just felt right? You can’t always trust your “gut” but often times there are scraps of information that your subconscious is picking up on because it is just “meant to be”.
That is the heart and soul behind our logo and our bus...

A gurgling brook headed to the nearby Bay of Fundy meanders across their home-place. They capitalized on their rural location to have an open space wedding and an on location photo session. Joining hearts together in covenant on their own land was the ideal way to plant roots in the red sandy soil. We wish you all the best John & Victoria.

Cutting Horse Show

I opened the car door to the rhythmic but muffled sounds of loping hooves, the smell of horses and cattle with a twinge of leather hung in the air with the fine dust and the sense of contentment settled over me. I was anxious because I didn't know what to expect and I really wanted to do a good job. Tenatively making my way towards the center of th...

Delivering framed prints to clients is such a joy. Seeing the glow of happiness in their eyes as they look at their images ready to hang on the wall is so much fun. By the time we reach this point with clients we are usually personal friends and it is an easy going fun time. Somewhere in there the client-turned-friend usually is talking about their...

The conversation as recalled went something like this: "You know we haven't seen each other in a very long time." "Well, why don't we plan when we can all get together and have a family reunion?" "That sounds like a great idea!" "We could do it when Robert & Marion come down from Canada. On their March break to Mom's in Oak Ridge." "We would need a...

What helps you be creative?

What fuels your fire? Ignites your flame? Gets your creative juices flowing?
Is it talking with a certain person? Going to a certain location? Having some quite time? Or simply watcing a class online. Maybe all the above.
For me, I find I am most a peace and able to focus more on my creative side when I am with nature. Being in nature tends to re...

“Start With Why” ~ Simon Sinek
“Thanks Rocco, now my brain is on fire.” I drank in the words of the Australian Photographer. Replaying them over and over, dissecting each part and getting happier by the minute. He was verbalizing what is in my heart. The answer to the question people have in their eyes when they find out I am a people photographer...

You don't have to be full on crazy to be in this family but a dash of psycho will probably help.
Yesterday I had the opportunity to have all my kids together which is very rare. Everyone showed up and we spent the day laughing, eating and spending unplugged quality time together. The smiles were contagious from one kid to another as they chatted a...

"A snapshot keeps the moment from running away"
I can't express the sentiments I feel when I look at these pictures.
Being a photographer, its our job to preserve these moments. The capture of time to experience the same emotions at the split second of a flash and the click of a shutter.
These photos remind me time and again as I look at t...
