Alex & Kurtis’ Rose Garden Engagement Portraits

On a summer night in June, I met with Alex and Kurtis in the rose garden at Gage Park in Hamilton. We spent a short half hour together as I played around with some new cameras and lenses I’d been excited to try out. These sessions are so much fun for us because we can let go of all expectations and have so much fun with it!

I shot these images with a Pentax 645n with a converted 105mm ISCO lens, and a GFX 50r with Contax Zeiss 80mm lens. I used Fuji Pro 400H film.

My life's joy is using artistry and relationships to tell stories. The imagery I create is a direct result of partnerships rooted in both trust and a willingness to let go of expectations.

I live and work on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and on land attributed to the Brant Tract Treaty of 1797. I am actively committed to bettering the spaces I occupy, while acknowledging and divesting from my own whiteness.
