“I had the pleasure of working with John recently, as I needed some pictures for my Coaching website. Through all of our correspondence leading up to the actual photo shoot, John was so patient with me as I fired all sorts of questions his way. It was important to me to get these pictures just right, because I wanted potential clients to be able to see the real me – not a dressed up, made up, posed version of me but rather someone who they would actually feel comfortable with.
I shared my ideas with John, and he ran with it. He picked the perfect spot (think beautiful trees, a river, lovely wooden buildings). He even provided me with pointers ahead of time such as clothing colours, number of outfits to bring, size/type of jewellery and more. On the day of the photo shoot, John immediately put me at ease with his easy-going ways and great sense of humor – there were a LOT of laughs! And the resulting photos? They were just what I had wanted! John captured me exactly as I had hoped….the real me, in nature, just loving life.
There is a reason this man has won so many awards!!! He has an innate ability to capture the true heart of a person in a photo.“

“John makes YOU the star of the show. I’ve worked with John a few times over the past decade. As a professional speaker who’s worked in 24 countries, I’ve had my photo taken by many international photographers and most them are only interested in making THEIR photos look good instead of making YOU look good – big difference! If you want a basic, standard issue, boring headshot, there’s plenty of names to squander your money on. But if you want something that will make your branding truly STAND OUT, John is man to call. He’s not just another photographer, he creates photographic art.”
– Les Evans Professional Speaker
“I’ve worked with John a few times now and he’s great at creating an extremely comfortable and professional atmosphere. So when I needed new headshots I knew who to call. He was very thorough. He asked what vibe I wanted prior to the shoot and asked for some examples so on the day, all I had to do was show up. He had everything set up so after a few lighting tests we had the perfect shot in minutes. He had a keen eye for manipulating the body to hit those desired angles you want in a headshot. I’m due for some updated shots and I’ll be calling him again. Thanks John.

“John is awesome! I thought I would feel so awkward having my new head shots taken, but John made me so comfortable. I felt like we were having a hilarious conversation…and also happened to be taking some photos. Oh, and the photos turned out to be beautiful, natural, and SO much better than I thought a picture of me could ever be! John’s advice on how to choose different shots for different professional venues was invaluable. I will be a repeat client FOR SURE. Thanks, John!!”

“I love working with John! Having a photographer that makes you feel comfortable the moment you walk in is a very rare thing, but John makes me feel strong, confident and flawless when I have sessions with him!I have no problem paying for the way his work makes me feel!
Truly an amazing local talent!”

“I have worked with John on a couple of projects and both times, his vision has lifted my original concept ideas, into a whole new level. I have been more than happy with his work and our latest Album Cover project together has really gained me rave reviews from my fans. He is a true artist in his own right and he has always been able to interpret my ideas and make them so much better than I could have imagined. It has been an absolutely pleasure working with him and I will continue to do so….”
– Monty Greig musician
“Amazing, talented and incredibly professional. There are no words to describe how fabulous the photos John takes are. I can’t recommend him highly enough. Photography is one of those things that you REALLY get what you pay for and John is worth every penny. You won’t be disappointed.”
