“I’m just a Teenage Dirtbag baby like you!” What an honour to be able to capture as they finished up their tour and closed down at their Carlyle venue! Their set was tight and unplanned with the setlist was nothing but requests from the intimate crowd of 200. A pure celebration and the perfect way to end an era for the Paisley Stage!

Being a videographer, It was never my intention to become a photographer as well. As a freelancer I need to hustle and chase the jobs to keep the wheels in motion. So here we are, stopping motion and getting creative with a moment in time rather than a sequence… my friends, I think I love it! Thanks to all my awesome clients for all of the opportunities to better myself as a creative and capture moments for everyone. Here are just a few of my favourite snaps from the first 6 months as a full time freelancer!

Did you know drones use GPS to hold their position? To become a professional pilot you have to learn how to fly without the aid of GPS in case of emergency. Here’s a few shots from this past weekend, burning batteries and learning how to fly without the help of GPS!
