Knights in White Satin
I spent this weekend with my best friends «one in spirit». Nothing makes me happier then taking photographs, of people I love, in places I love. I have been taking photos of these «four» in this place for a long time. It never loses its lustre… and neither do they. “KNights in white satin, never reaching the end… Just what you want to be, you will be in the end.” Thank you Tara for providing all the ‘costumes’ «your regular clothes» and rallying the dressed down nudes to dress up. Thank you Anna «so much more camera shy then your beauty lets … Continue reading Knights in White Satin

Kits Kites
“Throw your dreams in the sky like a kite, you do not know what it may bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.” – Anais Nin I’m back in Canada for the rest of the summer shooting weddings. Last week I was in Vancouver and took the afternoon off to bike the the sea wall with some friends. Just passed the maritime museum we caught a glimpse of ‘multiple’ kites in the air… It wasn’t until we got closer that we realized that they all originated from the same source. Ray Bethell holds … Continue reading Kits Kites

We were so excited to receive our copies of Later.mag in the mail! Especially happy to see that Peanut and Taco made a full page, as Peanut passed away in a tragic accident shortly after these went to print and is greatly missed by her kitty friend. Thanks to my muses Mikaela, Maxe and the the bathing beauties at Hookipa… and also to Kayla, Danielle, Kevin and Ian for staying out of the ocean long enough for me to snap a photograph.

The is the SIGN you’ve been waiting for!
“You’ve reached New York Times #1 Bestselling author Duncan Penn. Thank you for your call. I am away from my phone at the moment. If this is urgent please contact my assistant Davito Jones.” Davito, who also goes by David Lingwood, is also a member of the Buried Life… he is not Duncan’s assistant… but he is in the habit of leaving long voicemail messages on Duncan’s behalf and was supposedly picking me up from the airport. I flew to LA earlier this month to photograph the Buried Life for a Men’s Health article. The last minute opportunity was made possible by … Continue reading The is the SIGN you’ve been waiting for!

Fraschetti Family Portraits in Bali!
I adore this family! They were our villa roommates for the wedding in Bali and by the time we left they felt like friends we’d always known. Natalie tells us that Luciano does cry but i don’t believe her because I never saw anybody in this family without a contagious grin on their face. Such beautiful people inside and out… I took a million photographs of Luci during our 2 weeks together but I couldn’t let them fly home without some family portraits too. Continue reading Fraschetti Family Portraits in Bali!
