  • Magical Northern Lights

    Last week my wife stayed up till nearly 3AM to photograph the amazing northern lights display. Anna has incredible patience when she wants to capture a particular photo, and in this case it paid off!

  • Ted H Davis Photography

    I’d like to introduce you to Ted H Davis Photography! Ted and Jami are good friends of ours, so it really made my day when Ted told us about this new step in his photography pursuits and asked me to design his logo. Ted has a great eye for capturing moments and personalities through his…

  • Our First Christmas Tree

    This year, for the first time since we got married we’re not traveling out of the country for Christmas, so we were able to justify getting a Christmas tree. Anna’s been looking forward to this for at least the last year. Of course this is also Olivia’s first Christmas. For the occasion we decided to…

  • Gratitude, It’s All In The Lens

    Since moving to Manitoba, we’ve really appreciated the beauty of our town and natural surroundings. Although some consider the prairies kinda boring (especially compared to Colorado), it seems like any place can get old after a while. Familiarity can easily breed ungratefulness. We’ve been actively trying to appreciate the uniquenesses of our new home area.…

  • Saturday Morning Fog

    Last Saturday I had the chance to go for a walk around our neighbourhood and take some photos in the early morning fog. (I didn’t really choose to get up so early, but since Olivia makes an annoyingly effective alarm clock at 6am these days, I decided to make the most of it). We don’t…

  • Create Your Own Heart-Shaped Aperture

    I came home yesterday to Anna crouching on the floor with camera and a piece of cardboard in hand, taking photos of a bunch of mini-lights. Once I finally figured out what kind of effect she was playing with I got really excited. You can buy creative aperture kits (also called “bokeh”) that will help…

  • We *heart* Olivia

    Olivia turned 5 months old today, which called for another photo shoot. And Anna figured out how to make this cool hearty photo happen (with only lights and cardboard!)!

  • Olivia and the Language of 1000 Faces

    One thing that has amazed us as we watched Olivia grow and develop is the variety of expressions displayed on her little face. When she’s happy, her entire head radiates sunshine; when she’s upset, dark clouds roll into every wrinkle. Surprise, joy, curiosity, pain, tiredness, her face says it all. What I find equally fascinating…

  • Capturing Lightning

    We’ve all laughed at the guy who stands there thinking he can grab a snapshot of lightning. Even the quickest trigger finger can’t snap a photo quick enough. Well, last night I was that guy, but armed with one thing more – long exposure! Last night I walked out to the soccer fields behind our…

  • iPhone, the blessing and the curse

    Last week we launched ourselves into the iPhone life, and I hesitantly so. Though I was told repeatedly that the iPhone was amazing and that once I had one I’d never know how I’d survived before, I was cautious, wondering how connected I really wanted to be. I had enough issues with obsessive email-checking and…
