What a treat it was having Karen Milstein McKinnon second shoot a wedding for me this past October. It is a wild ride being a photographer and one where as someone who "works solo" really it is hard for me to "see myself" and what it is that I actually do at a wedding. What I bring to the table, and leave on the table. ha. Having Karen work alongside me was so valuable, and also hearing her perspectives on what it was like is wonderful too. All the sisterhood love for 2018 folks. Celebrating each others successes and journeys. I'm so IN. xo

So humbled to be acknowledged by peers and industry professionals for endless hours of hard work! I'm proud to have these images receiving awards and a little reckognition. My amazing clients make it all possible with their complete trust in me! Thank you!!!! and to you, reading this now... Thank you for liking, sharing and stopping by. Makes the ride more fun. xo

How do you contribute? What is your favourite cause? I am so thankful to our local, loyal volunteers for helping out and making the Campbell River Food Bank such an amazing cause and organization. Curious as to what its like behind the walls? Here is a few images from our time there last week {Link in comments}

I'm not sure what the next tour around the sun will bring us, but I do love spending my time on earth with these faces. Thank you for supporting my business and dreams this past year. For your comments, likes, following along, mentioning my name when someone is planning their wedding, sharing your experiences with me and for my lenses. Big, deep, juicy gratitude for this lifetime, and for you. Thank you 2017. I wish you open eyes, and healthy hearts, big skies and sunsets, endless beaches and quiet moments. I wish you will spend time staring into the souls that make you better, lift you up, bring you peace, and challenge you to dig deeper. I wish you grace, and joy and creative ideas on how to make your world and the whole world a more beautiful place. Also on a personal note, I'm looking for softening, creative endeavours, more softening, expanding and all the grace, with a side of passion and action. Happy New Year friends. xo
