Last summer I was asked to spend some time capturing the fun, creativity, and action at the Leighton Centre Children’s Summer Art Camps. In addition to working on this very enjoyable project, my own two sons were invited to spend a week at Art Camp. It was a creative, and wonderful way to spend a… Read more »

The River {Unscripted Documentary Child Photography}
Well, it’s not actually a river. But the other day, as I walked down our driveway, the warm springlike weather had created a small river on our lane. The rivulets of water carved small channels as the water followed the destination chose for it by gravity, down the hill. The cheerful sound was musical and… Read more »
Pirate Adventures-The Magic of Childhood
I think every young boys’ imagination has been captured by pirates at some point or another, and my boys are no different. Imagine sailing the seas, following adventure whichever way the wind blows, while searching for treasure. Eyepatches, sword-fights, hooks for hands, and of course, treasure maps, it all makes for the best stories ever…. Read more »
Making Memories-Family Camping Trip to Brazeau
Last week our family went on a camping trip. Without realizing it, 3 years had went by since we had been camping, two years since we had any kind of summer vacation as a family. It’s easy to be so busy with work, and life, and let time move by, without realizing that you haven’t… Read more »

Hike at Curley Sands-Mesa Butte Provincial Park-Kananaskis Country
On Sunday, at Brodie’s suggestion, and because it was on our summer bucket list, our family went for a hike in K-country. We’ve lived here for eight years, and have not explored very many hiking trails, or the back country, literally out our backdoor, so it’s high time for us to start taking in some of… Read more »
Spectacular Fireworks at the Calgary Canada Day Celebrations
Last nights’ fireworks show at the Centre Street Bridge in Calgary was truly awesome. For us small town, born and raised people it was the best we’ve ever seen. For our kids, it was the first fireworks show they’d ever seen. An epic experience for them, that will be hard to match. Growing up, I… Read more »
The Calgary Zoo Through a Child’s Eyes
Yesterday my son’s preschool class went for a field trip to the Calgary Zoo. It had been years since we’d went, the last time being in 2011, when David was just a baby. It’s always so awesome to see the kids so enthralled and excited about the animals. Our first stop was to see the… Read more »
