We’re thrilled to be included in Canadian Geographic’s latest issue, which is now available on store shelves! A recurring theme in the article is the increasing pressure on photographers to disclose locations or guarantee wildlife sightings in their workshops, practices that not only compromise our collective integrity, but also endanger the animals we aim to protect. Below we discuss and expand on our thoughts and feelings on the subject, and how you can help correct the narrative as wildlife photography only gains in popularity. For better, or for worse.

In today's fast-paced, technology-driven society, we are bombarded with notifications, emails and endless to-do lists. It can be easy to forget there is a world outside our screens — a world that moves at a slower pace, where the only sounds are rustling leaves and the serene song of a loon reclaiming the lake.  Algonquin Park’s backcountry is an expansive haven of tranquility. It’s our favourite hiding place, a place we can retreat. This safe space is a need, a fuel — not a necessity. Algonquin is an integral part of restoring and rejuvenating our creativity, and has been since we were ..read more

As we approach our first wedding anniversary this August, we are thrilled to be featured in a six page spread in the 2023 edition of ‘Algonquin Life’ magazine about the whirlwind that has been our story — the path that led us North, to photography and to each other. We recount our early beginnings and future plans in the article with penman, Rory MacKay, a dear friend, author, historian and seasonal naturalist whose expertise on Algonquin Park is legendary. Side bar: For those looking to learn more about the history of Algonquin Park, pick up a copy of Rory’s book ‘Algonquin Park - A Place L ..read more

We had the opportunity to host a bucket list photography workshop in South Africa, a photogenic country whose wildlife density make it a photographer’s paradise. From snow-capped mountains to subtropical rainforests and wildlife-rich savannahs, South Africa is a destination like no other. With the help of our travel partners, Nicola and Keri of Finisterra Travel, we set out to curate the ultimate ten day wildlife photography workshop for hobbyist and professional photographers alike. To keep wildlife encounters intimate, we decided to bring only six photographers with us. We chose April to ..read more

On our way to Algonquin Park, we noticed something out of the ordinary. At the base of a snow bank along highway 60, near Dwight, there was a dark figure curled up. As we’re both wildlife photographers, we instinctively stopped to investigate. To our surprise, we soon discovered it was maybe an Eastern Coyote, or an Eastern Wolf (aka Algonquin Wolf) lying down, seemingly resting in a peculiar spot. Then, our hearts sank when we realized it had been injured. We couldn't help but wonder how long it had been there, scared and suffering. Was this an unfortunate result of someone hitting it with th ..read more

Those who know us are well aware that we have a soft spot for Algonquin Park. Not only is Algonquin the quintessential getaway to the Canadian wilderness, it’s also the location of our first date, which coincidentally happened on the 125th anniversary of the Park in 2018. Since our first weekend together, we have seen many majestic moose (and even Canadian lynxes); enjoyed countless backcountry paddles across clear waters, backpacking trips at peak leaf-change and challenging snowshoe routes ending in a bounties of maple taffy. To us, after four years of exploring, Algonquin Park was the on ..read more

In the summer of 2021, we started an Instagram page called Sorry Algonquin showcasing REAL negative reviews of Algonquin Park, paired with our personal photography of Algonquin Park. It all started while searching online, we were shocked to come across some negative reviews of certain trails within Algonquin! When we dove a little deeper into other apps, social platforms etc, we found that many people loved sharing their negative reviews of the park…how could this be?! So, we decided to share some of the reviews alongside some of our favourite photos that we’ve captured within the park. It wa ..read more

  It’s no secret that we have a soft spot for moose. With their lanky legs; divided hooves, muscular shoulders and long, flexible snouts - they have come to represent resiliency in the rugged Canadian wilderness, sustaining themselves through harsh Winters despite the effects climate change is reeking on their habitat, morality and food sources. We have so much respect for these majestic, twig eaters and often endure torrential downpours; unforgiving insects and unfortunate farmer tans in the hopes of photographing moose in the name of conservation and education. May and June have always ..read more

  What’s more irritating, black flies or Winter ticks? If you’ve encountered a ghostly-looking Springtime moose in Algonquin Park, you may have asked yourself: “Why are the moose missing so much of their fur?” The short answer: Winter ticks. Many biologists believe climate change is to blame for the sudden infestation of Winter ticks on moose, and after encountering our share of twig-eaters we have to agree. Shorter winters have created more favourable conditions for these blood-sucking parasites to flourish. In 2017, biologist Josh Boulin found Ontario’s moose numbers fell by 20% and ..read more

  It has been such a privilege to get lost in the deep woods with lynx over the last three weeks. Every animal has a unique beauty, but there’s something special about stumbling upon a big cat in a field of untouched snow that sticks with you. Collectively, between our first, second and most recent trip we’ve travelled over 6300 km in pursuit of the elusive Canada Lynx, otherwise coined the “Shadow of the Forest.” With the amount of miles we’ve driven, we could have made it to Disneyland and back! We have been rewarded for our efforts on each of our visits thankfully, with a total face-t ..read more
