I was called mid-afternoon Friday to shoot a ’58 Pontiac in Oyama, British Columbia for Kellys Kustom Pinstriping. Model Kara Cooper braved the cold to pose with the car / truck hybrid for hours in the -3C weather. And to think, WE were complaining about being cold. Its always fun to shoot something new, and todays hot-rod pin up shoot made for a fantastic Saturday afternoon. Thanks to Kellys Kustom Pinstriping for the great shoot! Enjoy these few sneak peak images from the day.
In my years of photography, my hands have never shaken as badly as they did as I pulled a flash and diffuser dome from my camera bag today. I thought to myself “will the flash hurt her eyes? Should I bounce it? Yeah, Ill bounce it, not diffuse it, ok, maybe….is that even better? What lens should I….if only I’d brought my….” I had never thought holding a baby in my arms would be such an amazing experience, but I was blessed today to be allowed in with my dear friends Ramsey and Taqueesha Lightfoot to meet their gorgeous baby girl Olivia. She wasn’t a small baby! At 11lbs 12 ounces she certainly had a head-start on the growing stages. I only took a few photos as I had just spent the better part of an hour holding her and chatting with her exhausted mother and tired but elated father. I admit, out of the thousands upon tens of thousands of frames I have snapped over the years, I have never felt more pride, or joy, at creating a photo.

We’re back in the chair with Nick Neu. Extending his full-sleeve onto his chest with a dragon by Sean at Boldersyde Custom Tattoos in Kamloops. Sean and Nick invited me into the shop today to grab a few quick snaps of the process, with some proper portraits to come once the skin has healed. Unbelievable artwork and atmosphere. The staff, facility, and workmanship are top notch.

Thompson Rivers University hosted the 2011 XCountry Running National Championships on the 11th and 12th of November. The event saw 230 athletes from across Canada competing for top honours in their fields. These athletes have incredible endurance, and some of the finishes were so close as to be almost ‘photo-finish’.

It is rare that I have the opportunity to photograph such dear friends as Ramsey and Taqueesha Lightfoot. And it is rarer still that I am in the studio. These two left their maternity photos to just about the last minute, with Taqueesha and Ramsey expecting their little girl sometime within the next week. Taqueesha being an amazing photographer, there was a lot of pressure on this one. Congratulations Ramsey and Taqueesha. I cannot think of two people that would make more amazing parents.
However, I still think, regardless that your baby is a girl, that Andrew is probably the best choice for a name. Or Andrea, that would be acceptable as well!
