There's no snow here in Ottawa, yet (thankfully!), but it's almost that time of year again (where does the time go?!). Announcing my first Christmas/holiday sale - 10 greeting cards for $50 until December 21st. Would love to see one of my photos go to your home or the home of one of your loved ones!

Happy to be back in my studio after a number of months away! While away, my husband and I had a lovely time at Navy Pier in Chicago. It's a fun, 3,300 foot long pier right down on the Lake Michigan waterfront and has beautiful views of both the lake and the city skyline, not to mention tons of restaurants, activities and an amusement park. It was awesome! We will definitely be going back!

Available in both matted prints and greeting cards at my Etsy shop:

I can't believe it's almost fall! But, I'm still in summer mode thinking about our amazing Great Lakes drive to Winnipeg. Here are a few water shots including Lake Huron, Lake Michigan and Lake Superior. I always love the peaceful calm of the waters and the amazing engineering of the bridges that span them. If you've never been to the Great Lakes, I highly recommend it!

Trying to manifest some real spring weather. Some moody shots of Ottawa flowers (tulips from our annual Tulip Festival and coneflowers from an historic garden here in town) and, of course, our true harbinger of the changing season: Canada geese!

Was happy to get downtown on New Year's Day to take in the yearly lights around Parliament Hill in Ottawa and get a few pics of the amazing heritage architecture. If you're not from here (and even if you are!), it's definitely worth the trip. Could have used some long johns, though!

Home for Christmas. This is the scene that welcomed my family and me, and many friends, every year for the twenty years my parents lived out in the Ottawa Valley. I took this photo during our last Christmas there in 2019 and gave it to them last Christmas as they settled into the new home they share with us. For me, it represents the warm, glowing welcome that I hope meets anyone coming home for Christmas.

Found (by pure accident) an old photo from Folly Beach, South Carolina, right at the tail end of Winter Storm Pax (2014). Now, it's one of my all time favourites! We were down there on vacation during the storm and state of emergency (three days of wind and ice) and this was the first time we could see the blue sky. It was lovely (but cold!). Anyway...a bit of ocean beauty for you.

Had a lovely visit with family in Winnipeg (finally - yay!) and came back with a few city scenes (Winnipeg and then one from Ottawa when we celebrated our anniversary) and scenes from beautiful Lake Winnipeg (Gimli and Victoria Beach). Enjoy!

I was finally able to get out and take in the beautiful Tulip Festival, an annual celebration here in Ottawa. Only made it out for a couple of hours, but managed to get a few memories (lol, after almost being soaked by the sprinklers that suddenly came on at 6am!). Happy almost summer, everyone! I hope you're all safe and well.

Some new listings in my Etsy shop! I've been staying at home as per Covid orders, so I haven't been able to do much new photography. But, I found some pics of warmer, brighter days in the archives. From a trip to the Gulf Coast in 2013...
