In September, we posted Newfoundland (Part 1) with some teaser shots from our trips…and here’s Part 2! The island is so mysterious, even if you didn’t know it’s...

Our Favourite Shots of 2009!

Well I didn’t have any idea where to start for this list. First, I thought – oh, maybe the top 20…then, no…that wasn’t going to work – I could never narrow it down! So, I tried for 50, then 100…and well, ended up with 168 (sorry…I really did try to narrow it down...

Visiting both coasts of the island, we travelled from St.John’s to Stephenville, and I had the chance to see Clint’s homeland and hometown. There was definitely something awe inspiring around every bend and turn of our travels, the entire island is...

Welcome to Renaissance Studios: The Vanity

Welcome to theVanity.ca – our dark little closet away from home. Clint and I have always been intrigued by Tim Burton and things like twisted dark gnarly trees, magical ideas, Hallowe’en, Mardi Gras, and slightly surreal images that border on fairytale and myth. We knew we couldn’t just pop these up next to...

Adventures in “Marin” Land

Heres a few pics from a family shoot I did a while back, while we did do a few family pics, most of time was spent following Marin around seeing what was new and peeked her interest.
