JINGLE BALLS!
JINGLE BALLS
Our Elf on the Shelf is back!
JINLGE BALLS
The time has come for our Elf on the Shelf Jingle to come spend some time with me and our family. Jingle first appeared a few years back and kept getting caught with its shenanigans while everyone was asleep at nights. Slowly this progressed to Jingle and me having a special bond which I can’t shake off anymore. The more I try and get away from Jingle, the more he tries to have fun with me.
THE STORY…
Jingle was hand picked to be part of our family, and for one month a year, he definitely does just that. This journey begins while I was living at my old place. He decided to show up while I was relaxing at home, and since then he has been tormenting me with pranks and simply just just wanting to hang out with me. The problem is, I am the only one that seems to be able to see him throughout the day…
You would think going to work would give me a break, but think again! Everyone can see him at home while he watches everyone to make sure they stay on the nice list, but throughout the day I seem to be the only one who gets pranked and sees him everywhere! Make it stop please!!!
THE BOND
Definitely a love-hate relationship with Jingle. He has been a great addition to our family and the kids love him. It is always sad seeing him go when he completes his mission, and lots of joy to see him doing his shenanigans while he is here with us. I just hope this year he lets me relax a bit…

WORLD CUP FEVER
WORLD CUP FEVER
Getting into the World Cup spirit
NEW WORLD CUP. NEW INSPIRED SERVICE.
The long awaiting World Cup is almost here, and with that, World Cup Fever. But that’s not all, I am launching a new INSPIRED service too. Welcome to to INSPIRED SPORTS!
I’ve been wanting to explore this type of photography for a while now, and after experimenting a bit with it, well, it’s quickly becoming a new passion of mine! As you’ve read some of my previous blogs, you know that I have a few passions. My kids will always be my number one. Second is definitely music, so being able to provide music photography has been amazing. But then there is another passion, sports.
WHY SPORTS?
I’ve always loved sports! Don’t believe me? Ask my mom or dad. But seriously, before I became too slow, you could find me playing soccer, basketball, football, skating, and all sorts of other sports. I was very active growing up and my passion back then without a doubt was soccer.
Now, with not being able to run for longer than 5 minutes before getting horrible stomach pains and being out of breath, I have now passed that baton to my kids which are now excelling in soccer, cheer, volleyball, dance, and more! Can I input here about my proud dad moment? Yes very proud!
THE SERVICE
I love sports. And you know what else? You guessed it. I LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY! So, lets combine the two and help create memories for others for many years to come.
The more I’ve researched about this area of photography, the more I find a huge gap I feel I am able to fill. Many so call sport photographers only offer a quick 30 second portrait session holding a ball, and then another 2 minute session for a team photo. Remember picture day…? But do you know what’s missing? The players actually playing the game! Enter INSPIRED Photography.
BUT WHY STOP AT JUST PHOTOGRAPHY
By now, you should already know me and my mindset to be an innovator in the market. To better explain this I am going to take you back 20 something years ago… Long long time ago there was this kid that loved soccer (and other sports). He dreamed of being the next Pele or Michael Jordan and becoming a sports superstar. That kid, which may or may not be me, had posters and trading cards all over the place of sports superstars. Now that I’ve briefly painted that picture in your mind, That kid wanted to feel like a superstar and be the one in those posters and trading cards! Enter again, INSPIRED Photography.
The GIF in this post is of my son. He wants to be a soccer superstar. To me he already is a superstar and should have that superstar status I grew up wanting. I want to help kids feel like sports superstars, which is why together with this sports photography service, I am also launching a trading card service, digital and print, to help them feel like their sports superstar heroes. By doing this as a team, they can trade trading cards with other team members and build their own collection season after season!
I am also fortunate enough to have direct access to a full print shop at work. So, full sized posters and prints from wallet size to full on banners, are now a possibility.
I want every parent to feel the joy I feel when I look at my kids sport pictures, and seeing those moments where they are giving it their all frozen in time. Again, it brings such crazy proud dad moments, and I want to be able to share that with everyone.
