Savour Food and Wine Festival – Imbibe Event

I had to pace myself at the Savour Food and Wine Festival's Imbibe event! So many unique cocktails, designed by Nova Scotia's best mixologists, made for a fun evening.

Gateaux Rose – Artfully Designed Custom Baked Sweets

Mmmmm, I love cake! I've had my eye on Crystal Ross' artistic creations for a while and decided to connect with her for a photo shoot featuring her business Gateaux Rose. Crystal, a NSCAD grad and artist who works at Argyle Fine Art, spends many evenings and weekends creating artfully designed, custom baked sweets. I really like Crystal's philosophy about these edible works of art. They don't have to be perfect and they don't have to last forever – they are meant to be enjoyed in the moment and shared with the people you love. What a wonderful way to celebrate life's important events!

Flamenco Valentine "Sublime" | Maria Osende

I had the opportunity to photograph Maria Osende's Flamenco Valentine "Sublime" this past weekend and loved the show. It's always fun to see a performance up close from the stage, hiding just behind the curtains. As always, Flamenco Valentine was beautiful and powerful, I'm always blown away by the creative talent of the dancers and musicians. I wanted to share a few of my favorite images that capture some of the beauty of the performance.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day

I was looking for something special to wear for Valentine's Day and came across my two favorite pieces of jewelry. When my Grandmother passed away a few years ago, these were the two pieces I really wanted to have. I love the bright red funky necklace and thought it was so cool that she would have a bold piece of jewelry like this. I also fell in love with the gold heart-shaped locket.

Locally-sourced, green wedding ideas in Halifax, Nova Scotia

Andrea and Matthew really dedicated themselves to planning a DIY wedding that was meaningful to them and the personal values they share. This wedding supported local business and was as environmentally friendly as possible. I wanted to share these ideas to inspire others. With a little research and planning, a green and locally sourced wedding is an amazing experience for everyone involved.

One of the things I love most about being a photographer, is connecting with and collaborating with some of the most amazing creative talent we have here in Halifax. Getting a peek behind the scenes and a chance to photograph the performances on stage, is a unique experience I enjoy much more than simply sitting in the audience!
