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.

a) go see Wall-E. You won’t regret it. (I loved the beginning & the end, anyway. I _m_a_y_ have fallen asleep in the middle… what? I was exhausted. Now I’m excited to see the whole thing! Can’t wait! … anybody left who hasn’t seen it?!?)

2) check out this fan video. It’s incredibly well-made.

Alicia & Rich’s Engagement

I met Alicia & Rich at App’s Mill Conservation Area for their engagement session. At first we couldn’t find each other but after a few phone calls we realized that we were each at the opposite end of the park. After that everything was smooth sailing!

They brought their dog Magnum who is still pretty puppyish and who cracked me up!

If there were credits for this shoot I’d put Rich’s brother in as “Animal Wrangler”.

Krista & Craig’s Engagement

Krista & Craig have been very patient waiting for their engagement session to be posted online. Here are the highlights of a cool night that Beth & I spent with them in Cambridge at the University of Waterloo School of Architecture:

Krista & Craig were kind enough to humor me by clicking their heels. Craig forgot his dress socks…

Grandpa Goes Flying

We went last night to Larry & Elaine’s to take my Grandpa flying. Mom & John curl with Larry & Elaine and had arranged a short flight for him for a Christmas present.
