The kids all had baths tonight and since they were so clean I took a headshot of each of them. It’s hard to believe from this picture that Ben just threw up at the dinner table a few hours prior. Real nice. Every night we say a dinner prayer before eating. Tonight, Owen’s prayer went...
Big eyed Isabelle got a new hat for her birthday. I am in love with it. And her goofy expression.
I gave myself 15 minutes to take separate portraits of Isabelle and Ben. This included the setting up of any lights, the shoot itself and post processing. Not a lot of time. Working under a time crunch with kids is challenging. Ben will only give you a few minutes to work with and that’s it....
I took some corporate headshots of Richard Parkinson who is an insurance & investment funds representative based in Walnut Grove, BC. Richard provides financial security to a variety of clients and proved to be general all around good guy. We did a few different looks, even some outdoor shots, and pulled of the entire shoot...
This Project 365 is all about learning so I tried a new lighting setup with the intention of using it for corporate headshots. It was a pain in the butt photographing myself, especially after 10:00 at night… but I think I made it work. *Update :: Actual shoot using this setup can be seen here....
Me. By the way… it’s crazy hard getting yourself in focus when shooting at f/1.8. Yikes. Nikon D2xs with 50mm f/1.4 :: 1/80 @ f/1.8 :: ISO 100 :: edited in Lightroom 3

A 11:00 pm self portrait. Yes, I feel like the Fratelli family. Bara bap bara ra ra ra, bara bap bara ra ra ra! Strobist: Nikon SB-800 with 28 inch Westcott softbox camera left, triggered by Cybercync.
I tried to take Ben’s photo and he wouldn’t have it. Next was Owen but he was so tired from his long weekend of camping that he cried when I asked. That left Isabelle, who always says yes. Maybe I will just use her for the rest of this Project 365! Strobist: Alien Bees 800...
I took some headshots and a few portfolio photos of my friend’s daughter who is an aspiring model living in the Langley area. Not only is she stunning and easy to work with, but she has a really fun sense of humor that made the shoot go smoothly. She must take after her Father. Ha!...
When my brother and I were in our early teens, we were known as The Bickersons. If we were working on the same job site, you would always hear us before you saw us. I remember taking karate classes back then, with the sole purpose of one day being able to kick his ass. It’s...
We don’t give our kids candy that often so when they get their hands on some it’s a real treat. Isabelle was eating some gummy bears the other day and with a laugh she said “It feels my like teeth are jumping on a trampoline!” You would hardly know how funny and silly she is...
I took some headshots for the Surrey Little Theatre and their upcoming play Rabbit Hole. These two shots are of my fabulous Aunt Mary who will be playing the character of “Nat”. Strobist: SB-800 with 50 inch Westcott softbox camera right, reflector camera left for fill, triggered by Cybercync.
