2024….You went by oh so fast, but you taught us oh so much…

We started the year off with something we haven’t really given ourselves since we started up this company a good 15 years ago…we shut down for a full month! To be honest, this was the longest chunk of time we’ve had away from work since I (Bri) was just out of university and since Gary was…in high school maybe?

2023 was a bit of a doozy for us…some family health issues and the age old issue of small business burn out caught up on us so we decided a reset was needed. It turned out, starting 2024 off slow was one of the best gifts we could have given ourselves.

A full month, just focussed on our family…we were so grateful to have been able to make it happen, and it totally reframed our 2024 season. We won’t go into details on it here, but just know it was a perfect balance of Gary’s need for adventure (which sometimes results in me needing to deep breath through freaking underground caves, hanging 4 stories up off a tree, or driving a scooter on roads that aren’t actually roads), and quiet time reading by the water processing said adventures….

After that magical break, we came back to hit the frozen ground running! We were lucky as always this year to work with an incredible group of clients who kept us on our toes with challenging, creative and impactful projects.

From starting up a series of portraits showcasing citizens on their Traditional Territories, to chasing ultra runners up to the top of mountains, to rigging up exterior cameras on camper vans and trying to outrun thunder storms…we adventured hard this year!

Here are just a few of our project highlights below. And as always, we know very well we couldn’t have done any of it without the INCREDIBLE crews we are so fortunate to get to work with. Thank you all so much for always being up for the adventure that is commercial productions…you are legends and we are so grateful to you.

Excited to be back at it again here for 2025…can’t wait to see what comes next!!

A little BTS of THE DREAM TEAM!

Thank you and Hiy Hiy to all of our incredible crew members who help make all these projects come to life! We are so damn lucky to get to work with all of you…I somehow don’t have photos of everyone because sometimes things were too fast paced to grab BTS, but know that we love and appreciate every single one of ya!

It's Mining and Geology week here in the Yukon, and so we wanted to take the time to share one of our latest projects with the Yukon Chamber of Mines, the "Our Yukon, in it Together" Legacy portrait series

It was such a great experience getting to work with such a diverse group of people over the past few months, learning about their experience in the Mining industry, or about how the industry supports their organizations and communities.

From the on the Geologists working on site, to the aviation industry, to the hospitals and communities than benefit from fundraising efforts.... We were so happy with how the portrait series came together to showcase the various faces and experiences behind the industry.
