So this is kind of wild…

In the wee hours of this morning, I reached out to someone I’ve looked up to for a long time. Someone doing some pretty incredible things, and honestly, I didn’t expect anything back... (they have millions of followers 👀).

But they responded. Not only that, they asked me to send more details over email… so yeah, I did.

WHEN this ends up coming to fruition, it will be one of the highest mountop experiences of my life and truthfully, lol, a little teaser... a hopeful guest right here on TVS!!! 😉

Now we wait and see what happens. Maybe nothing comes of it, maybe something small, or maybe... it turns into something that changes everything. Who knows.🤷‍♂️

What I do know, is that I’m glad I sent that message. A year ago, I probably would’ve talked myself out of it. Overthought it.

● Thoughtful Thursday ●

Aim higher!
Dream bigger!
Stay true to you! .. Never. Give. Up!

Stay tuned 👀

P.S. Curious, who do you think it is 🤔
Let me know in the comments!!!

What does it feel like to truly belong in the outdoors?

In this episode, I sit down with Kaila Marie, a plus-size hiker and photographer, to talk about:

• Finding your way through photography
• The healing power of nature
• Representation in outdoor spaces
• The reality of social media vs real life

Plus her experience living in the North, and how it reshaped everything.

We wrap with a rapid-fire segment that gets real, fast.

This one hits different...

UPDATES.

🚨🔊 PSA

I want to start by saying I am sorry I have not been as active lately.

Between working with a legal team, arranging the pickup of my personal belongings, and finally learning how to breathe freely again, my focus has been pulled elsewhere. Even so, OMNP and all of you have been on my mind, even when I did not have the energy to show up the way I normally do.

I am genuinely excited about what comes next. Right now, my priority is handling this chapter with professionalism, confidence, grace, and humility. I owe that to myself, to my incredible wife, and to those closest to me.

I believe the truth will prevail, regardless of the outcome. What I am asking from you, my friends, family, and followers, is your continued support.

OMNP is no longer a side project. It is now my full-time focus, and I need help turning this passion into something sustainable.

That support can look like purchasing prints, calendars, or greeting cards, booking photo sessions with your pets, friends, or family, or simply sharing my work with others who may need drone imagery, commercial content, headshots, or creative storytelling.

Every share and referral truly matters. I know, I know... but if you only knew how much it really does, you would do it even more. 🙏❤️

My long-term goal is to earn my main income through guided photography expeditions, speaking engagements, and partnerships with organizations that believe in creativity as healing, photography as connection, and honest conversations around mental health and workplace culture.

I may be hit or miss online for a little while as I navigate this season. Please know that I am standing up, speaking truth where it matters, and building OMNP into something stronger and more intentional.

I cannot do that alone.

If my work has ever moved you or made you feel a little less alone, I ask that you walk alongside me now.

Share my work.
Support where you can.
Reach out if you have ideas or opportunities.

The sun may be setting on one chapter, but it will rise again tomorrow with a brand new day.

Thank you for being here. Truly.

Much ❤️
Shaun

Major PSA!

Professional Update

I just wanted to share a brief update with my personal and professional network.

As of yesterday, on the day I was set to return to work following a medical leave, I became aware that I was no longer working in the insurance and financial services sector. The change was sudden and unexpected.

The circumstances surrounding this transition are currently being addressed through formal legal processes, which limits what I am able to discuss publicly.

I want to acknowledge and sincerely thank the clients, colleagues, and partners with whom I built meaningful relationships over the past 15 years, 7 months and 13 days. The trust placed in me and those relationships remain deeply valued.

If you have questions or are seeking guidance, you are welcome to reach out. While there are boundaries around what I can assist with directly, I will always do my best to offer clarity or point people in an appropriate direction where possible.

As I move forward, my work will transition much more into photography, speaking and presenting, guided experiences, and advocacy focused on mental health and healthier workplace culture. Doing that work with integrity, honesty, positivity and with decency, remains my priority.

Thank you to those who have reached out with support. It has been genuinely appreciated.

Never. Give. Up.

Warm regards,

Shaun

I sat down with Tegan Legge from Haliburton Forest & the Wolf Centre for one of the most honest, grounding conversations I’ve had in a while.

We talk wildlife, wolves, photography, mental health, life after COVID, and how getting outside can genuinely heal you.

From growing up wild in Northern Ontario to working daily with nature and conservation, Tegan’s story is all about purpose, connection, and protecting the places that shape us.

If you love nature, adventure, storytelling, and real conversations that hit a little deeper… this one’s for you.

My heart aches for Tumbler, BC!

This is extremely rare for Canada, unlike the US, so spare us any political bu****it at the moment.
