We just hit our one year mark living in Victoria, BC and all I have to say is: I love it here. I know that rainy winters aren’t for everyone, but I’ll take it over the cold any day.

As much as I’m loving life here, it was much more of an adjustment moving back to Canada than I had ever imagined. After spending three and a half years immersed in a new culture and way of life, we definitely had some growing pains settling into a new pace of life, but seem to have finally found our footing. The summer weather definitely helps!

It was a feeling like no other when I learned that the two images I had entered into the Top 100 NAPCP Gallery Event and Print Competition were selected! The 100 chosen images will be on live display at the National Association of Professional Child Photographers (NAPCP) headquarters in Atlanta, GA on August 23.

I was so happy to photograph this gorgeous family for my last sand dune session in sunny Saudi! This beautiful family of five is also leaving Saudi on their next world adventure and I am so excited for them! Wishing this family nothing but happy travels in Ethiopia. 

When Jennifer contacted me for her daughter Daniela's Quinceanera milestone session, I had to do some research about the event as it was completely new to me. I quickly learned that it is the tradition of celebrating a young girl's fifteenth birthday; needless to say, I was very excited to capture this special time in Daniela's life!

I love when my clients share their vision of their portrait session with me. And this family session at the beach envisioned by Katrina was no exception! Have I mentioned I'm a huge sucker for soft white sand, ultra blue water and photographing adventurous families up for some fun? 

It was a thrilling afternoon exploring the beach and climbing up a crazy (and breathtaking) dune.
