WOW, WHAT AN HONOR! 🎉

Well, it *would* be… if I had actually done this type of photography in the last decade! 😆

I’ll add this to my collection of incredible offers—right next to my $10 million inheritance from the prince, the $50 million from the UN, and that $20 million Facebook promised me.

Oh, and I *can* use their logo… but only if I buy their *special* package for the privilege! 😂

You know the saying—when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Well, in Southern Alberta, when life gives you freezing temperatures, you go ice fishing!

While many may not love the cold, for some, winter brings unique opportunities—like this ice fisherman making the most of a crisp, beautiful day on a Southern Alberta lake.

For the first time in 2025, I’m finally caught up with my printing! This has given me the chance to update some display prints in the office, including replacing one that’s been missing for a while.

A while back, a customer purchased a print right off the wall, leaving a noticeable blank space above the door to what used to be my studio room. I’m excited to finally fill that spot again with the same image—one of my absolute favorites.

The print is a stunning 24x48 inches with a 2-inch white border, beautifully printed on metallic archival photo paper. It’s finished with a textured laminate and mounted on foam, eliminating the need for glass and allowing the vibrant colors to truly shine.

This image holds a special place in my heart—it perfectly captures a location I love to visit, especially during a magical time of year. Every time I step into the front office, I can’t help but glance up at it and let myself daydream for a moment or two.

I’m so happy to have this piece back on display, and I hope it inspires others as much as it does me! These pictures do not do it justice, stop in if you would like to see it in person!

If you’re shooting with a Canon EOS R5 Mark II and using SanDisk SD cards, it’s important to read this update. Canon has warned that certain SanDisk Extreme Pro SDXC UHS-II V60 cards in 64 GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB capacities may cause images taken with the camera to become corrupted or display abnormalities.

If you’re using any of these affected cards, you should replace them with a different memory card as soon as possible—especially if you’re a wedding photographer preparing for the upcoming wedding season.

In late November 2024, a wonderful couple visited my office to browse some of my photography. As we chatted, their attention shifted to the print of Maskinonge from Waterton Lakes National Park displayed above my door. They were captivated by the image and insisted on purchasing the very print hanging on my wall.

Since that day, I haven’t had the opportunity to reprint the piece. But now that the holiday rush is behind me, and I'm catching up on projects, I’m excited to bring this stunning image back to life.

Printed as a 24x48-inch masterpiece, it captures the serene beauty of an early winter day, looking south into the Waterton Valley. A light dusting of snow, freshly laid the night before, blankets the landscape. Meanwhile, the lingering clouds that brought the snow drift eastward from Waterton, heading out to the vast prairies. This image is a true celebration of nature’s winter magic.

Available to purchase in a variety of sizes.

2025 marks my 40th year in photography! I began my journey in 1985 as a nature and wildlife photographer in the stunning Waterton Lakes National Park, in southern Alberta, Canada. Over the years, my passion grew, leading me to expand into a full-service photo studio. Later, I added a photo lab to print for photographers of all skill levels across southern Alberta. Today, I’m proud to say I operate Southern Alberta's only locally owned photo lab, continuing to serve our vibrant photography community.

Still selling my amazing nature and wildlife prints....

**Friday Flashback: A Thoughtful Gift from a Customer**

This morning, I had the pleasure of helping a customer with some work. When he returned to pick up his items, he surprised me with a gift—a bag containing two vintage Kodak cushions.

These cushions brought a wave of nostalgia. If my memory serves me right, they were giveaways during the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, courtesy of Kodak. The idea was simple but ingenious: you’d bring these to an event, place them on cold, hard metal seats, and enjoy the extra warmth and comfort provided by the cushions inside.

From the golden era of Kodak, when millions of rolls of film passed through our hands and cameras. I sold and processed ten of thousands of these rolls back in the days of film. I can even smell the photo chemicals when I think back to those days.

Holding these cushions today stirred up memories, some bittersweet. It was a simpler time—not just in the world but also in photography. Film was king, and every frame captured felt like magic.
