Capturing this boy’s soccer team was pure joy—their energy was infectious from start to finish. Shooting in that intense golden-hour light made them glow like future World Cup champions. Huge thanks to the team for making this session a blast!

It was such an honour to capture the special milestone for this fine young man celebrating his Seijin Shiki (Japanese Coming of Age)!
As a videographer himself, he’s usually the one behind the lens—so seeing him step into the spotlight was a treat. With his family cheering him on from the sidelines and making him laugh, he naturally shined in front of the camera.
I love how this session brought everything full circle: honouring his roots in a classic and traditional kimono, while bringing in a touch of childhood nostalgia with balloons and his favourite character, Anpan man !!!

It was an absolute honour to capture the dedication and spirit at the 3rd Canadian National Iaido Championships. Hosted by Tokushikai, entrusted by the Canadian Kendo Federation, the event brought together over 75 practitioners from all over Canada at Carleton University.
At its core, Iaido embodies the true spirit of Reigi Saho—traditional Japanese etiquette rooted in mutual respect, mindfulness, and lifelong learning. Capturing this event deepened my appreciation for my own heritage, and I thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with the entire team. I really hope these photos captured the energy of the day!

What an absolute pleasure and privilege it was to serve as the official photographer for this unforgettable afternoon. Watching this violin and piano duo perform in perfect harmony one last time was nothing short of magical.
As a photographer and an amateur musician, concerts are incredibly special to document and especially for the farewell event. Every shared glance, intense moment of focus, and wave of applause carried so much weight.
For me, the highlight of the day was their anchor piece, “Salut d’Amour” by Elgar, which is one of most memorable piece for me. Capturing the emotion on their faces during that specific performance was a dream—the music and the visuals came together in absolute perfection.
Thank you both for trusting me to document your final chapter. Your dedication has clearly touched so many lives, as proven by the thunderous standing ovation that closed the beautiful afternoon.

I had the honour of serving as the official photographer for the 2026 Annual Exhibition of the Ottawa Guild of Potters. The room was filled with incredible creations from so many talented potters, and I enjoyed viewing the artwork just as much as I loved capturing each piece through my lens.
The Ottawa Guild of Potters’ exhibition showcased a stunning diversity of work, from sleek functional ware to intricate avant-garde sculptures. As a photographer, I am delighted in finding the perfect light to focus each piece’s unique textures, glazes, and curves, creating a seamless collaboration between my lens and the potter’s hands.
Thank you for trusting me with capturing your memorable moments. (Event Date : 2026 May 1)
There is something completely magical about spring portrait sessions, and this recent family session was absolutely no exception! We were blessed with the most perfect backdrop nature could offer—vibrant, blooming lilacs filling the air with their sweet scent and fresh, crisp greenery everywhere you looked. As the sun began to lower, it bathed the entire location in that dreamy, golden-hour light that photographers live for. But the real magic? It wasn’t just the scenery; it was the pure joy, laughter, and the sweetest smiles from this incredible family. Every single element came together so effortlessly to create truly stunning, timeless photos that I am so excited to share. ( Event date : 2026 May 30th )
It has been my absolute honour to serve as the official photographer for the Ottawa Kyudo Association’s recent event! Going into the event, I knew I was there to photograph archery. But what I witnessed was so much more than a sport—it was a moving meditation. I was deeply inspired by the participants’ immense passion, razor-sharp focus, and unwavering dedication to this beautiful Japanese martial art.
In Kyudo, the focus isn’t just hitting a target; it’s about the purity of the process, the harmony of movement, and the refinement of the mind. Looking through the lens, I could feel the intense stillness in the room right before an arrow was released. Capturing that precise moment—where supreme focus meets explosive action—was both a technical challenge and a profound artistic joy.
To the organizers and all the participants of the event: thank you so much for welcoming me into your space and trusting me to capture your art. Your warmth and dedication made this an unforgettable experience. (Event day : 2026 May 16 and 17 )
I had a wonderful time reconnecting with these two ambitious graduates last week! Having met them during a previous school session, it was an absolute honor to be invited back to document such a significant milestone in their lives.
We spent the afternoon capturing the joy of their achievements, and I couldn’t be prouder of the hard work they’ve put in. The light at Tabaret of OttawaU was perfect. I really enjoyed hearing the cheers from bystanders and drivers while the session. Despite the challenge of navigating the stairs in long dresses and heels, these two made looking effortless seem easy, even if we had a few giggles along the way !
Congratulations to both—I hope these photos serve as a lifelong reminder of your success! (Event day : 2026 May 2 )

I had a wonderful time photographing a recent Tai Chi lesson led by an instructor from the Aging Gracefully Ottawa. Tai Chi is such a powerful practice for building physical strength and mental clarity—a perfect combination for those of us in golden years. The Aging Gracefully Ottawa did a fantastic lesson; I found myself feeling a deep sense of calmness just by being in the room!
I had the absolute pleasure of capturing the Ottawa Guild of Potters‘ Pop-Up Art Show at Scrims Florist!
It was a true honour to be selected as the official photographer for this event—a vibrant celebration where the earthy craft of pottery met the delicate beauty of nature. This unique showcase was a collaborative effort, featuring the works of Ottawa’s most talented potters alongside exquisite floral arrangements curated by the Scrims staff.
The synergy between the textured ceramics and the graceful blooms was seamless, creating an atmosphere of pure elegance and creativity. I am incredibly grateful to have played a part in documenting this creative journey!
