2018, Blogging and the 1st Month

This isn't my first attempt at blogging. Tumblr. Wordpress. Deviant Art even! None of them stuck. I've never been one for New Years resolutions but in the spirit of my constant procrastination, lets make one today. In 2018 we are going to Blog... or at least try too!

Today marks 1 month since I launched ikonimagery.ca. Those of you who have followed my work may remember the website I designed in photoshop/dreamweaver(yea it was all jpegs) roughly a decade ago while still in college. I hope nobody is still sending me emails to shawn@ikon-imagery.com! Things are a bit easier now and just about any idiot can make a boring, all white website like this one! The goal is to keep it function and up to date. No more lazy excuses. No more shooting and then hiding the files on some drive for the next 6 years. 6 months tops ;)

2018 has already been extremely positive for my family and for my love of photography. My wife and I welcomed our 3rd son, Hayden on January 21st. He, like his brothers before him, is stealing our hearts and our sleep routines and we couldn't be more happy. I've had the chance to work with some amazing people so far this year and it excites me to see where things will take us going forward. As mentioned above, I've had a terrible habit of hiding my work and have often shied away from discussing what I do when I'm not counting numbers for a pay cheque. My parents instilled modesty in me from a young age. This website and blog should hopefully stand as a way to break down some of those walls and give an outlet to share with you(seriously who is still reading this novel, you came here for pretty photos, right!?) what I see behind the lens.

Here's a little preview of whats happened the last 2 months. Hope you enjoy!
