These folks from playwright Dave Deveau's new play 'The Lowest Common Denominator' were such fun. I wish I had more than 20 minutes with them to create these images for Xtra Vancouver. We could have gotten into some trouble!!

Always exciting to see images I've created for folks featured on their websites. Check out the brand spanking new website for Vancouver's Funktastic Queer As Funk.

In life there are many things to be grateful for. To be loved and supported is but just one.
This was a day of celebration in many ways. Happy 1st birthday to you sweet Alexa.
What a lovely family and such good sports to play outside on a cold Vangroovy day. We had a lot of fun though and I adore these images we created together for Ellie's Mommas.
Thank you imaging by marlis for assisting on this session and helping get some giggles out of Ellie.
Ben was born January 22nd, 2014.
Just 7 days old when we met, his eyes focused deeply on me and they seemed to hold such wisdom.
Ran into two of my wonderful clients today and thankfully had my camera on my back. Happy 3 month BDAY Fyn!!
I always say each new photo shoot is the funnest shoot ever, but this one really was, when I photographed the ever so lovely and naughty Linda Fillmore for her 80th birthday feature in Xtra newspaper.
Linda is the Matriarch of the Fillmore Family Foundation. The Family is a non-profit foundation that raises money for organizations such as Out in Schools, A Loving Spoonful, Camp Out and McLaren Housing Society. I posted last month about the raucous Prairie Fairy Fowl Supper event the Family puts on each fall to raise these funds.
This was an amazing experience as it was the first time I 'pitched' a cover and story idea to Xtra and they accepted. I wanted to honour all that Linda Fillmore and her Family have done for our Community and create some beautiful images for her. We all had a blast in the studio and even did a 'Commando' run out to the Bull Statue downtown.
You're in good hands Linda Fillmore.
I'm aging myself, but does anyone remember the series Dallas?
Such wonderful folks to play with.
It takes a TEAM:
Assistant: Robin Toma
Assistant: Jason Blais
Stylist: Stephen Fahlman
James Goranko (dark beard)
Shayne Forster (red beard)

UPDATE: October 31st, 2014.
River Tucker won Bronze at the Canadian National Boxing Championships.
BC Boxing champ River Tucker arrived tired, hungry and caffeine free to this shoot. But it wasn't a detriment because this is a person endowed with deep focus and determination. You can feel it in her presence and you can see it in the images we created together.
I have wanted to work with River for some time so I was excited when she suggested we shoot in her gritty New Westminster training gym. We could not have asked for a cooler location to shoot these edgy promo images.
River is currently in training and 'On the Road to Rio 2016'.
