I was asked to photograph the Greater Victoria Shakespeare Festival last year, which was the first time I’ve really photographed theatre. I acted (badly) in a couple of plays in university and have done some volunteering in the past with Langham Court Theatre here in town, so it was nice to be around theatre people […]

Sharon is 70
Sharon’s future daughter-in-law Maryjo hired me to take some photos at her seventieth birthday party. They had the party at Goldstream Park because Sharon loves to camp with her friends. She also has way more friends than most people I know, including sorority sisters. Her grandkids also had a ball playing in the DIY photobooth […]
Tea Party
Colleen, whose wedding I photographed last year, contacted me recently about photographing a tea party they were having in their yard this spring. I thought that sounded like such a fun idea, and I left there thinking that I really need to have a tea party too. I recognized most (maybe all) of the guests […]
100th Birthday Party
I feel so honoured to have been asked to photograph Marium’s 100th birthday party. We took a bunch of family group portraits and I got some great candids in between and after, and Marium smiled pretty much the whole time. She shares some of her secrets to being so youthful and vibrant in a Times-Colonist […]
Unsworth Vineyards Grad Party
Tristan’s mother hired me to take some photos of her grad party at Unsworth Vineyards. Wow, grad is a big deal here. I think there were more cameras there than at the average wedding. I was impressed with how fancy some people were dressed, but Tristan’s light pink vintage dress was my favourite. It was […]
Paulette and Jim are (Still) Married
On the August long weekend, in the midst of a crazy wedding season, I got to photograph an amazing celebration of marriage and family. Paulette and Jim have been married for fifty years and their family got together for a party at a family home on the lake. They prepared a meal with flowers, herbs, […]
Conor’s Grad Party
Conor’s mother hired me to take some photos of a graduation party they were having at their house. First of all, their house is gorgeous. Secondly, they couldn’t have asked for a nicer, sunnier day.
Edie’s 95th Birthday Party
The mother of one of the groom’s at this sweet elopement contacted me to photograph her mother-in-law Edie’s 95th birthday. They were going to be back in town from Australia to have a big celebration for this amazing woman at the Embassy Inn. I love documenting personal events like this. How often do you get […]
