💥𝗘𝗗𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗢𝗡 🤯🔥🤘
Last week felt less like a party… and more like a festival.
1400 people singing every word, hands in the air all night, absolute madness from start to finish. 🇨🇦🔥
Bed By 10 keeps getting crazier every city we hit. Edmonton, you brought the energy BIG TIME.
Shoutout my brother @hypasonicdj who rocked alongside me!
Who’s ready for the next one? 👀

We just want to say thank you again to all the attendees, artists, volunteers, media, and crews who came together to make this year our best one yet—by far!!
We’re already counting down until we get to do it all again. Until next time!

Louise McKinney Park isn’t just our backdrop - it’s part of the experience. Riverfront breeze, city skyline & that unmistakable Edmonton golden hour glow. Music echoing through it all🎶🌇
We’ll see y’all soon, Down by the River🌿

Some film from the past few months, shot on @psychedelic_blues_film
and shot with Nikon point n shoot and a Canon ae1
Some beautiful yeg river valley shots I took going out for walks and bike rides. some Oilers photos from the finals and Glorious Sons performance, a few from a fun night with the chvrch fam and San Pacho, a snap from fall out boy and an amazing night seeing Rainbow Kitten Surprise in Calgary. Film is fun. Love these memories, and the reminder that life is good, just need to keep going.
I’ve been reflecting deeply on how we perceive ourselves in images—how we curate our presence on social media and the weight of self-judgment that comes with it.
After years of working with clients, one of my greatest joys is breaking through the outer layers they present to the world and capturing something raw, something real—their true essence beyond the practiced smiles and poised exteriors.
It’s become normal to view an image of yourself, searching for flaws. We are conditioned to assess and to compare. But when do we ever truly sit with our own stillness? When do we allow ourselves to be seen without resistance?
The truth is, we have been taught to reject parts of ourselves—to believe we must fit into a standard that was never meant to hold our depth. Editorial photography has long relied on alterations; that is an undeniable part of the industry’s evolution. But beyond retouching, beyond technical perfection, there is something more powerful: presence.
When I deliver a gallery to a client, I often tell them to step away from it. Let the images breathe. Come back to them in hours, days, —sometimes even weeks. Over time, a critical eye softens and what remains is something real: the curve of laughter, the quiet strength in a gaze, the beauty that was always there but needed time to be recognized.
We all have angles we favor and features we wish appeared differently. However, each photoshoot offers an opportunity to learn and grow, allowing us to evolve continually.
My role is not to make someone into an ideal although I’ve chased this, but rather to guide them toward a feeling—confidence, ease, the ability to stand before the lens without performance. To remind them that no one sees them the way they see themselves.
