Photography has been a passion of mine for over 25 years. After graduating with a Diploma in Professional Photography (2002) from the Western Academy of Photography, I began a rewarding and exciting career photographing people in all types of situations including, events, weddings and portraits.
My background in Fine Arts brings an understanding of how an image is successful (through composition, colours, density etc.) and combines it with the necessary technical photography skills to create stunning images.
I am an active member of the Professional Photographers of Canada (PPOC). In 2025, I was given the honour of having my Pomegranate still life photograph accepted into the PPOC National Image Salon Exhibition (more information on the Image Competition below).
In 2023 and 2024, I received Best in Photography at the outdoor juried exhibitions, the Riverdale ArtWalk and the ArtWalk in the Square. The awards were given for my solo exhibition, Misunderstanding Memories, featuring black & white, film photographs.
I absolutely love working with clients to create beautiful memories. Send me an email/text and we can begin to work together.

One of the cornerstones of the Professional Photographers of Canada is the PPOC Annual Image Salon. This juried exhibition showcases the best of the best. Within this Salon Exhibition, you will find the most creative, the newest and most cutting edge, and the finest technically executed images produced by our members.
This inspirational collection of images displays the level of excellence Canadian photographers have achieved. Some of the best photographic talent in the world lives and works in Canada, and enters this PPOC image competition in the hopes of being selected for the Salon Exhibition.
Members of PPOC are invited to submit images annually to a juried exhibition. A group of highly qualified judges, all of whom have obtained their Craftsman of Photographic Arts or Master of Photographic Arts designation, and have been trained as jurors, assemble to review submissions. These jurors have the monumental task of viewing in excess of 800 images, setting aside any personal bias and judging objectively, to determine those images worthy of being accepted into the Salon Exhibition.
From those submitted images deemed worthy of inclusion in the final Salon Exhibition, those which stand above the rest are awarded scores of Merit, and the small number which are deemed to be truly exceptional images are awarded the prestigious score of Excellence.
We invite you to browse through the many digital galleries in this section of the website to see the remarkable level of image making talent achieved by our own members of PPOC. Enjoy!
The next National Image Competition will be in early 2025.

"WOW...our wedding photos are AMAZING. There are definitely a couple that stand out in my mind as the best, I think the one I like the most is of my neice (Katie) and my mom walking her down the aisle--Katie's expression is priceless. I keep on looking over the photos through the Online Proofing Gallery. Thank you again for all of your work with them."

"Thanks so much. We love the photos! The hard part for us will be choosing. It was a fun morning, and a great way to do our family portraits. (I photographed Tom’s young family at the park. They played tag on the playground and flew kites while I followed and captured candid, playful photographs)."

"Wow, what a great bunch of family pictures!
You have captured the very essence of our relationship with each other and with the farm.
It was an absolute pleasure working with you. You made it easy for me, and I'm usually quite shy about having my picture taken.
The experience was great, and the results are outstanding!
Thanks so much!
