I want to consume less and create more...

It made my day when I got an email from photographer Clay Enos that said simply: I dig your mantra.

I'm Travis Jon Allison. I'm a photographer from Southern Ontario, Canada and making art has always been my passion. Getting to be a photographer was one of my goals since I first borrowed my mom's Pentax Spotmatic camera and took it with me to camp for the weekend.

I thank you and my clients who have allowed me to share that passion and keep creating. It makes me very happy.

This blog is all part of my creating bug. I use it to keep a record of what's going on with me so that my clients can get to know me better and so my friends and family can keep up with what is going on in our world. One part photo album, one part journal and all me. Thanks for reading!

I hope you enjoy the blog. Please add me into your  feed reader.


Arminta and Colin – Cambridge Family Photos

Colin and Arminta asked me to help them celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary with a fun family photoshoot down by the water at Riverbluffs Park in Cambridge.

We had such a great morning playing in the park! I think when people ask for family photos they are expecting a picture of them all sitting together. But with a little planning a family photoshoot can actually be entertaining for the kids. I think that it shows in the shots and the kids look like they are having fun and are much more natural.

Friends and family who would like to be notified when the rest of the photos are available online can sign the Guestbook.

Angela & Scellig’s Muskoka Family Portraits

One weekend this summer I was a Muskoka portrait photographer – shooting summer camp staff members and a family photoshoot near Utterson (west of Huntsville).

We did our best to brave the mosquitos for Angela and Scellig’s family pictures and I think we got some great shots outside.  We wrapped up our night with some snacks and a wee dance party when PYT came on the stereo.

Family and friends can register using the Guestbook to be notified when the complete set of picture is available online later this week.

Elizabeth and Rebecca – Party of 2

I was in the Orangeville / Collingwood area last month for an awesome photoshoot with Elizabeth and Rebecca.  They hired me to come do a Party of X style shoot on Rebecca’s farm – you know how much I love farms!

Both Elizabeth and Rebecca run CSA’s (consumer supported agriculture) on their respective farms. CSA’s enable buyers to purchase a share of the weekly vegetables from a local family farm.

I loved shooting at Rebecca’s place because a) they milk goats – lots of goats, and b) her father is a master dry-stone mason and they have all of these beautiful walls and a dry-stone, Scottish Highlands-style house.

Thanks for a great day, you two!

Donny Osmond in Woodstock

I was working this morning for Heart FM, one of our local Woodstock radio stations, shooting the Jon and Liz Show with special guest… Donny Osmond.

It was a really funny morning and Donny was such a great host to the 5 winners who got to have breakfast with him.
