Blue Canoe Photography

Chris's result-oriented approach combined with an attention to detail and a focus on client communication ensures that exceptional outcomes are the result of every project he undertakes.

Chris returned to Muskoka - his childhood home - after completing his post-secondary education and honing his expertise through a variety of challenges with various clients in Southern Ontario.

After obtaining his marketing diploma at St. Lawrence College, Chris topped his three-year diploma with another year of training in business management. Then he was off to work on various marketing and advertising projects with companies from London to Barrie. Increasing clients' sales to all-time highs, implementing marketing and business plans and developing his photographic skills and website sales techniques are just a few of Chris's accomplishments during those years following college.

In 2007, Chris brought his expertise and enthusiasm back home to Muskoka. Perhaps Chris is best known in Muskoka for his groundbreaking project: the popular "Don't Turn Your Back" Calendar. This calendar features tastefully composed portraits of naked women of Muskoka set against backdrops of stunning Muskoka scenery. Each year a different charity is selected as the beneficiary of the calendar's proceeds. Past recipients include the South Muskoka Hospital Foundation, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and for the 2012 calendar, the recipient is Cottage Dreams Cancer Recovery Initiative.

Although accomplished at marketing, Chris found his passion in the field of photography. His skills encompass the full range from the technical studio photographer to the artistic photographer and everything in between. He enjoys capturing the essence of nature and the personality of his subjects in portraits. Clients who benefit from visual representations of their product will appreciate Chris's ability to produce striking product shots. His artistic photographic skills feature the juxtaposition of people with nature - where Chris carefully composes a synergistic balance that is striking in its simplicity.

Chris has an ardent passion for the outdoors and for Muskoka. His friends say that he truly lives the Muskoka life, as he is quite active in participating in everything Muskoka has to offer. Chris can be found exploring the hiking and mountain bike trails or on the lake in a kayak or canoe. In the winter, Chris snowshoes and skis. In every season, everywhere, he takes his camera to ensure he doesn't miss any opportunities in capturing the beauty and uniqueness of the world around him.
