Vancouver photographer blog
the b-sides
welcome to my blog
Here you can expect behind the portraits, inside the process, and life off camera entirely.
You’ll find: client stories worth reading, before you arrive shoot prep that actually helps, keeping it real talk that doesn’t sugarcoat, behind the lens personal projects, creative process and honest life insights, and off camera inspirations like the the music, places, and art that keeps me going.
