I was honored again this year to photograph several high school students with their families on their graduation day. Here are just a couple of my favorite shots from Glovertown Academy’s Class of 2019!
FYI: I am currently booking Grad 2020 in Gander and I still have some space available for Grad 2019 in Eastport.
I always admire people who take what they love to do and just get really good at it. No one makes you go into business for yourself and certainly no one can make you create art. But when you put something of your own creation 'out there', it represents a part of who you are. Some business owners take pride in that and strive to consistently produce work at a really high level. We're lucky in our area to have several really skilled women working in the wedding industry. I really wanted to celebrate that and show off the work of some of these women with a photoshoot. With the help of a beautiful model, I was able to create some images that I believe show off some the the best of what our area has to offer in the wedding field. You can see the results in the images below!

This August, I had the pleasure of photographing Paula and Shane on their wedding day. I started the morning photographing the couple getting ready with their friends and family in two homes next door to each other in Benton. I was pleased to run into a couple familiar faces among the groomsmen (small community!) But it wasn’t long before I got to meet everyone and I felt a connection with the people I had just met that day. I was genuinely excited to see Paula in her dress for the first time and to capture the reaction of everyone else as they saw her. We moved to the Salvation Army Church in Gander for the ceremony, and Cobb’s Pond before meeting up in Glovertown. We took a few photos around Glovertown including some at the beautiful new town centre. Finally, we moved to the Glovertown Lion’s Club where I photographed the speeches, the shoe game, the cake cutting, and the first dances. It was a beautiful day that won’t soon be forgotten!
That’s what flasks are for!
The first reveal!
Everyone was waiting for the newlyweds when these two came out of the church before them…
Cake by Gander’s Downton Bakes. Vanilla, chocolate, and red velvet cake filled with chocolate ganache & cinnamon, funfetti, coconut and red velvet cupcakes. 😛
Sisters in sync
The shoe game – a wedding classic. Always funny
There’s a lot of agreement here!
She got cake on him first but he got her back much worse!
I thought this light and the decor on the ceiling created a beautiful scene for the first dances.
Janelle Burry is a mobile hairstylist based right here in Glovertown. She’s got a unique style that screams fun and screams summer! She’s going to be at Alexander Bay Days next weekend creating some festival and some futuristic makeup looks. You might see her (and me) there!
We celebrated festival season with a styled photoshoot featuring a Bohemian chic vibe and Janelle herself, a natural model!
Tell me what you think! Will you be at Alexander Bay Days? What’s your must-visit summer festival?
Congratulations to the class of 2018! For those who I photographed (plus families and dates!), thank you so much for working with me this year! I have some images processed and shared and more to deliver soon. Here’s another little sneak peek for those of you still waiting – just a few of my personal favorites!
In 2017 I was challenged by some friends at Nate & Nicole Education to take part in a year-long 52 image self portrait challenge. I’m really pleased to have completed the challenge, along some other great photographers. I believe it has made me a better photographer of myself and of other people. Check out a few of my favorite 2017 self portraits below.
I think grad photos are awesome. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime event, so you absolutely want to record it with photos. When it comes to capturing what grade 12 is really like, however, photos from a more typical day may be your best bet. Photos at your favorite places in your normal clothes show a little more about you can create some beautiful and personal images. Just check out these shots of Olivia, Ally, and Isabella!

Yesterday morning I had the pleasure of photographing Scott, Krista and their two kids at Salty Bay Cabins in Traytown. It was a very cool shoot for me. Not only are the Broughtons great friends, but Salty Bay Cabins is a place I drive or walk by basically every day. It’s an area I have had in my mind for portraits for a while.
We were all available, the rain held off, and the owners gave us the go-ahead! We got some results that I am really pleased with!
I had a lot of fun photographing this vacationing family in Terra Nova National Park last week. Thanks for trusting me with your photos Hughes Family!
If you leave a city and move to a small town (as I did in 2015) you’re bound to lose some of the activity options you had in the bigger center. In Glovertown, however, a workout is not something sacrificed! Wanda Keats brings together ladies of all ages for Pound (as well as Zumba) classes multiple nights a week. She’s running her own business, having fun, and getting people moving. Basically, she’s awesome.
Back in January I was thrilled with these photos from one of my very first gigs, capturing a Pound Workout Class. I hope you enjoy.
