I’ve been busy researching planning and preparing to make new work, which is a portrait series exploring the VBAC experience. I gave birth to Maya (pictured here) in November 2023, exactly 1 week before I turned 37, via vaginal birth after cesarean. I had incredible support from a midwife and doula team, which is part of what I want to explore in this project - I’ll be chatting and photographing birth care workers in/around Ottawa. PLEASE GET IN TOUCH IF YOU’RE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING. The project is funded by .council, so participation will be compensated!

I also have two residencies lined up: one In the fall, heading back to and in March 2027 we’ll be traveling to in Houston, Texas. This will be my first international residency and I’m thrilled. Thank you .

It’s been harder and harder to find the time to share on this platform so this is a little update. Thank you as always for following along.

Hello new and old followers. After months of shaping, refining, and late-night tinkering, my new website is finally live. It’s a space that gathers everything I’ve been creating - from commissioned work to fine art projects, personal pieces to family photography. Every project holds a fragment of my photographic journey and I’d love for you to explore it and see the full picture. Best viewed on a laptop or desktop!

This post is 1 year old (sitting in drafts) but thought it deserved a grid spot.
Ottawa is home to the largest urban Inuit population in Canada. Today (Jan 2025) in , as part of the Globe’s 2025 Underexposed series, a look at the cultural traditions preserving Inuit life and legacy for residents who have made a home in Ottawa. I hope you read this story and all the others in this series. They are SO good. Link in bio for the digital version without a paywall!
