Welcome

Welcome to my photoblog. I try to keep it updated daily with a new photo from either my personal or professional life. It is not intended to be taken as my professional portfolio (please visit the main website for that), but instead it is more of an informal and fun way for me to share some of my personality and creativity with you. Many of the photos on my blog are available for purchase as fine art prints, please visit the main website and/or contact me if you are interested. Enjoy!

Engagement - Olga & Maciek

  
We went to the Mackenzie King Estate for Olga and Maciek's engagement photos. It rained a bit just before we got there, so everything was a little wet, but the sky's cleared up nicely as time went on. We got some great shots! Here are just a few of them.
