Band, Brand, and Business photography...THAT'S what I do ๐ธโจ๏ธ
For me it's all about capturing your vibe, your story, and helping you share that with the world. Whether you're a spiritual coach, coffee shop, outlaw country band, or anything in between I want to collab with you.
I love being able to combine my marketing background with visual story telling and photography to get you in front of the people that NEED to see you.
And after we take a bunch of cool photos together...we can sit down and plan a content calender and social media strategy to utilize them.

HUGE MILESTONE TODAY... @backgroundnoisetheshow hit 3k all-time downloads ๐ฅน๐ญ
This is a huge deal to me. This is 3 years of labour and love sharing the good words of Canadian indie music. There's a fact out there that most people quit after their 3rd podcast episode, and I'm happy to report I'm well past that number with no signs of slowing down. I've actually lost count of how many episodes I have out!
But I want to take some time to thank everyone who has listened to my show, my parents and partner for always hyping me and my show up, and of course every artist who's taken the time put of their days to chat with me about their music.
I also want to thank the late Gord Leighton and 97.9 Valley FM for being the catalyst for this show, when I left the terrible unnamed radio station and my soul was crushed it was Gord who gave me hope and showed me the light of Community Radio. He asked me to create a show for the new station (among other things) and gave me full creative freedom with the show, and Background Noise was born. Our time together may have been short, but Gord made a HUGE impact on me and got this show on the road.
My heart and Playlists are very full.
From belting out their songs with friends in the campus radio booth, to crying to them on my way to a dead end job, TO GETTING TO PHOTOGRAPH THEM at probably one of the coolest shows ever...I still can't believe I got to shoot the @arkellsmusic this past Friday at the @starliteroom .
This show was absolutely INCREDIBLE, for being such a big band and the venue being packed they still managed to make the show feel small and intimate. From him physically going into the crowd to sing to sitting in the edge of the stage. I can see why the tour was called "Between Us".
I also loved how the first half of the show they played their new album front to back, and the second half they played their fan favourites.
What a dream show to shoot.

Unpopular opinion...when I see an unfirmilar band on a bill I DON'T listen to them before the show. Why? Because then they blow my mind 10 times more when I see them play with their raw, live energy.
After seeing @ageofashes open for @forsaken_rite last weekend I INSTANTLY became a fan. These dudes absolutely rip and I can not wait to see them live again!
For now I shall just listen to their songs on YouTube because I cannot get enough of them.
Check out their photos in the Forsaken Rite's Final Battle gallery โ๏ธ
If you've got a show coming up this summer and need some sick photos HMU!
My mead horn is so full after @forsaken_rite final show. The special guests, the stories behind the songs, the swords being tossed out to the crowd, the literal battle that took place on the floor...all of it was just so fricken epic!
I feel so honored to have been asked to capture their final show, and now they will live on forever on my CD rack and my photo albums.
Full gallery of the show now up!
Did you ever get a chance to see Forsaken Rite? Share the story in the comments ๐
The horns were full and the swords were up...@forsaken_rite 's final show was an EPIC fricken battle indeed. It was bittersweet knowing it was their final show, but it was absolutely incredible!
The mead was flowing, stories were told, and so many special guests made an appearance.
Big shout out to @ageofashes for opening up the show! This was my first time seeing them and I was absolutely blown away. Can't wait to see them again!
@redcainarmy was also epic, I loved the epic fantasy metal vibe. A fantastic transition going into Forsaken Rite.
Full photo gallery from this show coming soon!
@parispicktheprick at @blakbaryeg this past Tuesday...all I can say is fricken WOW!
This was my first time seeing here solo set and she absolutely CRUSHED it. Whether it's her full band or she's solo, Paris is always such a joy to see live.
And whether YOU'RE a solo musician or a full band and want photos at your next gig...shoot me a message and I'd love to come to your show and take photos for you ๐ซถ๐ธ
Sharpen your swords and fill up those mead horns for @forsaken_rite FINAL BATTLE THIS SATURDAY (May 9th) at @rendezvouspub49
Not going to lie IM ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATED that this will be their final show after I just discovered them last year and they were probably the best show I saw in 2025. But I am so incredibly honored to be asked to take photos at their final show.
YOU GOTTA GET TICKETS FOR THIS ONE...because after that they will only remain on CDs for the rest of eternity.
VERY IMPORTANT STUFF GUYS...
@parispicktheprick is coming to Edmonton next week (May 5th) to @blakbaryeg ...AND ITS A SOLO SHOW. Which is very cool!
She's made some extra stage props and decor, and if you love glitter, tinsel, and disco balls, you're going to want to come to this show.
LET'S SHOW PARIS THAT YEG CAN SHOW UP ON A TUESDAY NIGHT!!!
๐ธ photos were from her full band show with the Denim Daddies at the Canadian Ice House in 2024
My neck is still a little sore from thrashing so hard...but WHAT A FRICKEN SHOW!
Full gallery is up now. Go check it out!
It seems like every metal head I know was at that show! If you were there...what was a highlight of the show for you?
It was my little brother's first big show like this and boy did we ever both have a blast! He lost his shoe in the pit (we did find it after) and he was shooketh at how long the merch line was.

NEW EPISODE OUT TOMORROW ๐ฆ๐ฆ
Tune in tomorrow for a bird nerd approved episode with the Nova Scotia psychedelic rock band. It's an extra special episode where we get the WHOLE BAND in on the interview (which doesn't happen often).
Make sure to follow us on YouTube so you never miss an episode โ๏ธ
HOLY SHEEEEEETT was day 2 of the @hilightfestival ever a fricken riot.
Literally just back to back to back absolutely stellar bands. I can't get over how good the show was, from the venue to the bands to the crowd!
I'm upset I can only upload 20 photos at a time...so go check out the full festival gallery up on my website โ๏ธโจ๏ธ
@null.void.ab@reignoferroryeg@gardenofashband@prisonerbandofficial (probably my new favorite Canadian metal band)
@alpinecrush
