more images and details coming soon!

Black Moor

Black Moor and I have a odd history together. After booking a weekend trip to Montreal to see Iron Maiden together after only meeting a few months before at our jobs, we had a wonderful memorable experience seeing one of the greatest metal bands on the planet.

We were also brought closer together that same weekend, upon news that they had been in an accident, on the way home. Their car had been hit head on during a storm, leaving them all (save Nick) injured in the hospital. After a few months recovery, they are back in the business and ready to release their album.

Everyone has shown them much love and support through their time of troubles, and we all wish them the best in their years to come!

CP&D

With the stresses of quitting, one job.. looking for another, and then starting a new job in the middle of March Break has been a bit hard on my business side to get to work on editing a few shoots I have been doing since. So far I have 4 shoots I need to finish editing and then 1 more that I am doing today.

Also much to do about wedding plans has also put me behind on my work. I have been wanting to do more me photography this year but so far it looks as if that will have to wait until I have some stuff behind me.

anywho!

Here are some images I did with a local band called Chaos Panic Disorder

February Blues

With the winter season hitting us with full tilt (i.e. storm after storm) everyone (including myself) is feeling a bit of the winter blues.

I haven't had a chance to shoot a lot this past couple weeks with the bad weather, work, and the hectic stress of planning a wedding. That will be my main concern over the next 6 1/2 months. I am hoping that I will still have time to shoot, and I still have some in the planning process it's just a matter of finding a time that everyone can agree on.

Just a small update for now, I have a few live shows of images that need some work, and a home that needs some tending to. For now, Kelly out.

HORRAY

So finally got some work down (thanks Matt!!) and got my site up and running! There are a few more kinks to work out but all in all, it is up, running and looks great! I am really happy with how it is flowing.

Also the booking page is too cool for words!

Most of the changes from here on are going to be aesthetic. And maybe a few more links/information areas.

In other news, I have some more shoots in the planning stages. Nothing new to upload right now, but I have some fun shots coming soon! Also been playing around in Photoshop with some cross processing techniques which i am eager to try out on some fresh images!

Lauren and Julia

A local Make-up artist was working on her book and asked me if I would be interested in getting together with a couple models to shoot. So I called in my friend Lauren, and Julia (home from UK) to come in and play around for a few hours.

Make-up : Lina H
Model: Lauren


Model: Julia



Lauren and Julia both are fantastic people to work with, Julia because she is so poise and professional, and Lauren becuase she can make me laugh like no one else. We are all planning on more work together in the very near future!

Karen and the 69' Cadillac

When Matt and I were going to do the fire set, Karen came along once we found out he had a beautiful 1969 Cadillac sitting in his garage for our shooting pleasure! The space was tight, but we managed to get some neat shots while we were there.




And now for some behind the scenes
