KODAK MOMENT of the Day

I became a mom and everything changed. I waited for things to return to normal, but nothing was the same. And then one day I looked in the mirror and realized, I had changed. My priorities, my hopes, my worries, my interests, my boundaries. My world was all new and it has never been more beautiful.

It was during a photo shoot but this was behind the scenes and a friend had asked for a mirror; so after she was done before I put it back I took my hair down to feel the breeze and see how my hair would look down, our awesome  photographer (@gxpreso) Preston popped out from the side and said “heyyyyyy” lol  and here we are ☺️😁 it was random and a fun moment because everyone started laughing, just to be the best version of you! To be happy and have a genuine smile caught on camera is an awesome thing! There is only one Me …there is only one YOU! And my smile and happiness is mine! Joy of the Lord, thanks for letting me share! 🥹🥰😘

Just wanting to document time spent with loved ones as much as possible. This means having a camera on me at all times including at the beach. 

Taking a day hike into the mountains together for the first time of the season qnd capturing fantasy moments in Nature!

This beautiful young Bobcat sat still long enough for me to get his picture. A sign of Spring in the air.

My daughter playing in the tiny pool to cool off.

Noah’s just started learning to play the guitar, so he’ll seize any opportunity to pick it up and have a play, even if it means delaying bedtime 😉

Every day is a Kodak moment with these two in your life. No staging necessary. Everywhere I turn I see their reflections bouncing off each other. Yin and yang - black and white (ish-red). I'm blessed to witness pure love every day.

Summer days are back and we like it best unplugged and outdoors. 

Sharing a beautiful moment with my partner in life. Eating delicious food on rooftop, while travelling through Marrakesh.

Out near Rainier, we made our way through heavy forestry to Summit Lake to set up camp for the night. I stopped and captured this image as we were ascending through the morning light. Shot on Portra 400 through my Pentax 6x7.

I was photographing a family in studio session for this precious one year olds birthday. The baby had all her family around and there was so much love in the room. I am able to truly hold time in my hands while behind the camera and this moment is what I do it for.

My daughter dances competitively and had just arrived home from team photos with her dance team. I loved the juxtaposition of her sweatpants and t-shirt with her makeup and hair still ready for dance. I asked her to give me a dance pose and this is what she gave me!

Caught a great memory of my wife, Tatiana, holding our nephew by the beach. Shot on a Yashica Electro 35 GTN paired with Portra 400. 

Ice cream season has started.

After a long mild winter, first summer days are here. I wanted a portrait of my four together, normally not easy as it is hard to keep them still. But, give them an ice cream and some popsicles and that will do the job. 

My two tuxedo cats watching over me 

I was walking in the streets of Paris when I crossed paths with a young mixed couple, i immediately saw that they were very beautiful together and i asked them to pose in front of my Mamiya RZ67. I chose to shoot with Portra 400 for its professional standard and I am very satisfied with the result !

It’s early morning at Lake Pukaki in New Zealand’s South Island. I take a break in my van to appreciate what’s in front of me. The bluest water, the mountains in the horizon, and the birds chirping in my ears. Probably the purest scene I’ve ever experienced.

I could not have planned this any better. Sometimes Mother Nature has other ideas and you go with it.. and end up with a moment like this.

Being intentional about EVERYTHING because I deserve it. I deserve this happiness, this peace, and this overflow.

#GrainyDaze

I finally found the courage to say Yes.

My son wanted matching mohawk haircuts for summer and begged me for about a month.

"I'm too old for a mohawk," was my initial response.

Talk about a self-limiting belief!!

My #KineticMan partner Casey called me out, so I finally pulled the trigger.

Thanks for the motivation, cuz!

Féria in La Ligna is one of the biggest fairs in Andalusia: great atmosphere, a lot of energy and still very authentic. I was lucky enough to witness one of the few events in daylight. Most are at night because of the heat. But this didn’t seem to bother the people at all…

Took this photo of my girlfriend and my dog,while we had a walk at the beach of st. marie de la mer.

It’s suppose to rain all week here but I’ll be dreaming of this hammock ⁣

cette photo à été prise dans le cadre du challenge #100daysoflumiere de Caroline Cuinet.

prise au mois de mai, lors de la golden hour, on s’amusait à souffler sur les fleurs, jeux préféré des enfants à cette saison.

Don’t hurry, Dont worry and Don’t forget to smell the flowers 

🗣️Going on vacation gives us a chance to reconnect, learn each other in different settings, experience the planning process together, try new activities and food spots, and vibe on the way to our destination with no work on our minds 🤣💌 

👀Something crazy actually happened 😭 the vlog is up on YouTube now, go watch! ( Nay and Mil)

This photo was taken of my partner Justine on our first trip to Yosemite National Park. She often loves to climb trees, and you can see by her smile how happy she is doing it.
We shoot mostly film together, and we always enjoy how it places us in a moment that we get to enjoy silently, lovingly, and with each other. There’s no better moment than the one right now.

Cloudy day on the beach 

During my journey through Tobermory, Ontario, Canada, as the sun dipped towards the horizon, the tranquil waters shimmered and rippled. A couple frolicked by the shore, playfully splashing in the water while basking in the beauty of the setting sun. The sun's rays painted their silhouettes against the sky, and I captured the moment with my camera.

I just dropped my heart off in First Grade. Praying she soars and thrives this year while sharing her joy everywhere she goes! 

a unique moment, discovering unknown places with my sister

This was my second self-organized photo shoot, and I feel fortunate that my friend volunteered to be my model. As a photographer, I am continuously learning and evolving, and occasionally, I reflect on past experiences, imagining how I could have approached things differently. Nevertheless, I must admit that this particular photo remains to be one of my favourites.

He used to be afraid of fountains, but this day  he went inside without hesitation.

I felt his growth.

🐱 Best friends. A candid capture of the everyday life

I was heavily inspired by the colors and theme of Malibu Barbie. I had a vision of my four year old daughter in her pink swimsuit, a disco ball and sunnies by the pool. My very own Barbie girl. I grabbed these three items and went to work in Adobe Photoshop to bring my vision to life. A little bit of real life, some fantasy and a whole Summer vibe.

Beautiful sunset 

Back to school for the kiddos! After some great "Fun in the Sun", it's time to get back to locked in :)

Just a 3 hour hop, skip and a jump to one of my favourite sunsets of the year on the West Coast of Canada

A street stranger portrait of Tanya & Eoin, shot in Dublin with a Rolleiflex T and Kodak Portra 160VC expired in 2001, rated at ISO 80.

Shooting portraits of strangers I meet on the street is something I really enjoy, and I get to meet some great people. 

Un moment où tout s’arrête autour d’elle.

il ne reste que la lumière et la musique qui l’enveloppe un instant magique.
