Cancer Sucks, and I want to do something about it!

Movember (the month formerly known as November) is a global campaign responsible for ugly moustaches appearing on faces all over Canada and the world.

Cancer Sucks Yes, cancer sucks. But we can do something about it! Although it has been a couple of years since I directly participated in this campaign by growing a Mo, this will be the 4th year in a row that I have participated. I have a great group of buddies that have been proudly growing their Mo's every year and I have always photographed the final result. You can see some of the fun and ridiculous photos that have resulted at the bottom of this page. But before you do that, please use the links below to click through and learn how you can support my Movember campaign by donating, or even better, by participating in Movember by growing your own Mo! If you don't like donating online then you can download a Movember donation form to send by mail instead. Mo Portraits - FREE Don't forget to come back here every now and then throughout the month of Movember to learn more about some of the prizes and specials I will be running for those of you that participate. The first special offer is that I will offer a free “Mo Portrait” session to anyone that joins my team and grows their own Mo. This will be a short session at the end of the month to photograph the final result of your Mo growing effort so that you can [...]

Hot Off the Presses: Pawsitive Dawgs Charity Calendar

I was honored to be one of the photographers asked to create pet portraits for the annual Pawsitive Dawgs Training (aka PDawgs) calendar this year. This is a charity calendar that will raise money for Pawsitive Match Rescue Foundation. Pawsitive Match is a pet rescue organization that helps to match pets that need a new home with a perfectly matched owner. All of the profits from the sale of this years calendar will go to Pawsitive Match to help them do the things they do. The Calendar looks amazing and I am so happy to have been involved! I have a few copies of the calendar available for sale for $10 each. These will make great Christmas Presents, so please let me know how many you need. If you have an opportunity where you think you might be able to sell a few of them please let me know that too. Here are a few spreads out of the calendar that include images that I created:
