So incredibly proud to have won the International Golden Heart Award for the Winter 2021 competition :)

One of the biggest questions I get asked in some form or another is how to find your style.

"How do I find my style as a videographer / photographer??"

This is such a strong question, and a question I continue to ask myself everyday. Finding and knowing your style of art is an ever-changing part of who you are.

I just had the pleasure of being interviewed on the Soulidification Podcast with Mary Q. We talk about relationships and the higher powers within us that help both our relationships and our professional passions.

This month, I had the pleasure of being featured in two full episodes of the Barbershop Quintet Podcast with host, Tony Lee. Listen here for advice on navigating relationships as both a couple or an individual.

Why is this important to have?

I don't know you, but I'm going to predict your history. If I'm right, this is the perfect book for you. If I'm wrong, I just saved you an online purchase and a lot of time reading the rest of this book.

Here is my prediction of you: You spent years following the rules, going to school, getting that job, and keeping everyone happy…

For The High-Achievers Who Support Their Tribe

What makes a tribe strong is their culture. Their shared traditions and morals, and their mutual understanding.

When one member explains something, all members comprehend the meaning. If you see a tiger in the jungle, all members pack up right away. If you see food by the river, your tribe members all help to collect their evening meal. There is no need to further explain what to do next.

In the midst of a global pandemic, being able to relive a tropical paradise may seem out of reach– but with these two and their wonderful wedding party, the white sand and warm water aren't hard to remember at all.

As we all stay inside, this was a fun little video project in Hyatt's Andaz Ottawa Luxury Hotel in Ottawa, Canada. This was shot a few weeks ago, and looking back, is a total reminder that there is joy in the little things. A day in ‘doing nothing’ could be a day worth everything ❤️

It isn't often we have a group of such loving people in one room. Your families, your friends, your extended family that you've slowly moved away from.

Casa Loma is a space of splendour and a time of joy, and Amanda & Michael's luxurious Toronto wedding love story stays true to this setting.
