It's that time of year. We make resolutions, name our intentions, buy gym memberships, commit to minimalism and, in some cases, tell 2018 to go die in a fire. And actually, I love all that; I love starting out the year in a haze of...
This spectacular shot came together organically, as many things do on the Fearless retreats. We'd walked home from dinner (the restaurants in Revelstoke are AMAZING) and as I dallied to enjoy the night air before going inside, I glanced up and saw a silhouette cross...
Bali was nothing like I imagined. I don't exactly know where I got my ideas about Bali from, or even why I decided I needed to go. But I had a clear emotional picture of the place- serene, with lush vegetation, cool morning breezes (?!), and...
My favourite part of being a boudoir photographer is showing people their photos. The gasps, the shocked "Is that really me?!", the excitement, the relief, the tears...

So I met this girl. I fell in love with her, and it was the easiest thing I'd ever done. Falling wasn't even the right word; it was more like the gentle fitting into place of perfectly matched pieces, or falling into step with someone whose...
To all of the strong, inspiring women in my life- thank you. You inspire me every day with your tenacity, your beauty, your creativity and generosity. I really do believe I have the best job in the world, and it's because of you. I started out...
Then 7 years ago, I went to the cabin for the summer. I took the kids (4 of them at the time, my Keeper Three plus a foster daughter). My children were complicated and difficult, their special needs and behaviours draining, but I had started to think that maybe...
I first met Miss C at a blues dance workshop, and in less than a minute I knew that A) I needed to photograph her and B) we needed to be friends.* Not necessarily in that order. However, thanks to some late-in-the-game social skill acquisition I did...
