Katie & Clayton - Baby Announcement

10/15/2017

0 Comments

 
Ahh babies!

Yesterday I had the privilege of photographing a long-time childhood friend and her fiancé for their baby announcement! I was thoroughly impressed with the location they chose - Harper Mountain in Kamloops - and even more impressed that they championed through a rainy, soggy photoshoot.

Between the eery moss in the forested portions, to the open grasslands and foggy mountain tops, I had Katie, Clayton, and their dog Kota hiking up and down the bike paths of Harper Mountain, laughing and having a blast. 

As a photographer, it's important to make your clients feel at ease and comfortable when being photographed, as it allows their authentic selves to come out in the images. And boy, did we get authentic and have some incredible laughs yesterday!

Katie & Clayton - I'm very excited to meet the newest member to your little family, who will be arriving Spring of 2018!

2017 BC Wildfire Aftermath

I had the opportunity to head north into the southern portion of the Cariboo, over the Thanksgiving weekend, to witness first hand the devastation that this year's wildfires brought to the region.
The government of BC declared a state of emergency on July 7th, 2017, only expiring on September 15th. For over two months, the Cariboo Regional District and the Thompson Nicola Regional District were plagued by fires both human and lightening caused. Other areas of the province such as the Kootneys and the Fraser Valley, were hit with wildfires as well. 2017 marked the province's worst wildfire season since 1958, with houses, livestock, buildings and other valuables destroyed in the monstrous flames. 
As I wandered through some of the Crown range around 70 Mile House, where the northern tip of the Elephant Hill fire licked, it looked as if you were walking through a war zone or on some far off planet where minor amounts of life could emerge. With trees burnt to a crisp, dirt still smouldering,  it was hard to believe that only 3 months ago this land was green and full of life.
This devastation will be felt for years, as forests regrow and communities rebuild, in an effect to move forward and continue life in this great province. 
I'm glad I had the opportunity to spend some time wandering through the devastation, gaining better perspective of the effects the wildfires caused.
As all good photojournalists aspire for, through the use of images captured, I hope others who were not affected can begin to better understand the devastation of 2017's wildfires.
