Packing for a busy weekend shooting with . Here are some of the things I pack with me when I’m shooting back to back days with unpredictable weather and locations as well as schedule.

📸Gear for stills
- Fuji XE4 and XE5 (I didn’t have it in me to put my 4 on the market and I’m glad I still have it! XE5 is gonna eat up cards this weekend)
- Variety of lenses (I like to have my 23 on one body and 56 on the other)
- Batteries
- Dual battery charger (just picked up a new charger as the XE series don’t come with one. Bonus the charger I got came with 2 extra batteries - what a deal. Hopefully they work)
- Cards (2 a day, backed up as we go)
- Flash (Never ever need one to shoot stills but just in case as you never know what might come up)
- Tool belt and bottle holder
- Laptop/card reader/hard drive
- Notebook

🍪Snacks
- I never really know what might be available and I no longer can just power through days like this without eating anymore so, gotta have snacks
- Not pictured: likely coffee, tea, boiled eggs and fruit

🧦Clothing (not pictured)
- Merino wool layer
- Puffy
- Rain Jacket
- Long Puffy Winter Coat (in case we’re outdoors for prolonged periods of time)
- Merino wool buff
- Toque
- Gloves
- In the car always is an extra pair of socks and rain pants

🔴Other
- Water bottle, reusable containers, spork
- Hand and toe warmers (you just never know how cold it’ll be. Even indoors)
- Emergency/first aid kit

I’m sure I’ve missed a few other items but here’s most of them :)

This is 36.

My coffee plant marked a turning point in my life then, my quarter of a century. I’ve spent the last decade considering the next piece and am excited that it’s finally happened! The foliage grows and without telling my whole life story, the choice of plants are a mix of Asian and North American species, the coming together of both my worlds and cultures.

Huge thank you to my artist and . Yul has been so awesome to work with and is so talented! The piece isn’t finished yet and I’m excited for us to complete it later this year 🙂

We were up before the sun to make it out to Angkor Wat to catch the sunrise…along with every other tourist of course. I’ve come to appreciate the shots I get of everyone with their phones up in the air instead of the iconic landscapes though. 🤣

I’ve got a folder of photos just waiting to be processed. Here’s one of a wall at Angkor Wat, Siem Reap. The morning light was just peaking in, casting shadows of the pillar onto the carved wall. Slowly revealing the carvings. Cambodia was amazing.

Closed for the holidays from Dec 21 - returning Jan 6, 2025. 🎊

No matter how busy, we always try to shoot our holiday card this time of the year - and with the CP strike, sorry, no physical cards will be mailed this time. (Swipe over to see my draft. My sketching skills have deteriorated over the years 😅)⁠
⁠
2024, gosh, it’s been a whirlwind. It was everything, everywhere, all at once and it didn’t really truly stop. This year pushed me to my limits and I’m glad to be on the other side, able to look back and celebrate. Thank you everyone for your continued support and trust in my vision. I look forward to creating with you again in 2025! ⁠

Until then, peppermint mochas, Netflix and rest~!

Social media is fast. We might scroll by, take a brief moment to look at an image and within seconds, we’ve moved on.

Having images in print slows things down. It’s tactile. We receive the information differently. With intention and purpose. Not in transit while waiting for our coffee order.

It was a great process working with Creative Director, Alice Cho on this session and it’s really great to see the photos in print.

You’re not one-dimensional. A Personality Portrait covers both your Professional LinkedIn profile as well as a couple casual portraits for Social Media such as Facebook or Instagram - heck or a portrait for your grandma to put on her mantle.

I will be hosting a Personality Portrait Mini session day on September 9. More info to come!

Who caught the aurora back in the Spring? I didn't! I totally passed out at 9:30pm that Friday and missed it! But the last time I caught such a magical sight was in 2023 when we were in Canmore. She made an appearance on the last night of our conference weekend.

Thinking of Jasper as wildfire has destroyed much of the town. This was one from a few winters ago when we visited for the day, a much colder season for them.
