Born in Quarantine - Kira Marianne Rankin

Thank you to all the amazing family, friends, artists, past clients and healthcare workers who have helped us financially and mentally through all of this. The love we have received will never be forgotten.

Our daughter Kira came into the world March 31st. Little does she know it is a much different world than the one we all came into. This is a photo story I put together document her first month on this pale blue dot in the cosmos.

Carissa and Mike - Judique, Cape Breton Wedding

High school sweet hearts Carissa and Mike tied the knot this Summer and we had a blast capturing their big day. The guys let off a little steam in the morning with a some golf in the yard, we stopped at "The Bus" for a snack and the party was one for the books. Thank you for having us Carissa and Mike - both of you, your families and your friends were fantastic to work with. Congrats again!
