I finally found all the perfectly coordinated pink things to bring together this monochromatic ‘pretty in pink’ setup! I wanted to bring new life to some jewelry that was passed down to my partner from his mother, and mixing them in with this frothy pink set felt like the perfect match ☺️ Honestly the only issue I had was deciding if I liked the addition of the little white flowers or not…and I still can’t decide so here’s both 😂🤪

New experiment - rediscovering previous work, playing with new ideas, using negative space to change the subject from one frame to the next.

IKEA stools, stacked.
Contrast in lines, curves, texture, shapes.

New prints up in the shop! I’ve been planning, and working on a new series of archived images - right now tentatively named ‘The Colour Swatch’ series. I’ve had a huge trove of travel and still life images, and it’s so refreshing to give them a new life in a creative, and yet analytical kind of way.

I did mention a huge archive, right? This is going to be an ongoinggggggggg project 😅

Happy Lunar New Year’s Eve! It’s that time in February when we gather with family to pay respects to our ancestors, and celebrate the arrival of spring (ehhhh a lot early for Canada, I know 😅) with lots of food, burning incense, more food…and the oh so familiar red pocket envelopes!

I’ve been wanting to do a photoshoot with red pocket envelopes for a long time to showcase some of the beautiful designs and illustrations they come in. Growing up, they were always the classic red and gold, and it’s so fun to see the variety of options that are available now. Honestly though, these are too pretty to hand out so I’m just gonna keep these and who knows, they may crop up again in future shoots! 😉

Recently a previous wedding client reached out to me looking for some product photography for her new line of seed paper products. Let me tell you, boy was I excited!

I pivoted into product photography during the lockdown as a way to keep shooting, do something creative, and to try something new. It really means so much when people want to share in that experience with me, especially my wedding clients who have already trusted me to document such an important milestone in their lives 🥹❤️

I’m excited to share part 1 of the shoot - these beautiful, biodegradable seed paper cards! These cards are amazing to gift, keep, and even plant into wildflowers! If you’re looking to add a little bit of life to your gift giving, checkout - there’s going to be lots of fun things (and pictures) coming soon! 🥰🌻

A throwback to the days when we used to shoot with large format (4x5) film! Carrying that beast around the city on a trolley was another type of journey - I’m still so sorry to the folks whose toes I’ve run over, and the innocents who almost got clotheslined by the giant tripod 😅 - but you just can’t ever match the satisfaction of film, especially when the negative itself is basically sandwich sized 😂❤️📷

I finally got around to photographing my custom engagement ring! It was a 2023 milestone, but for the longest time I couldn’t settle on how I wanted to style the shoot…maybe because it’s such a personal item, it was even harder to decide on how to best capture it as a subject, without getting caught up in all the feelings 😅

Even now while I’m writing this caption, I’m flipping back and forth on which version of the shoot to put as the first slide. So I’m just gonna finish writing this out, and click share before my brain explodes 🤣

When someone brings you flowers, and it perfectly compliments the new lipstick that just came in the mail…it’s time for a little creative, colourful photoshoot! 😉📸 I don’t often play with reds and pinks, but I think it might be a new favourite colour palette! 😍

When you receive these beautiful earrings from a friend, you know some product shoot needs to happen 😍

Step 1: Eye the plant babies for a suitable prop/backdrop 🧐
Step 2: Stalk the direct golden light, and establish the best time of day to shoot 🤓
Step 3: Set everything up ahead of time like an over prepared maniac 📸
Step 4: Frantically chase the golden light in its 10min window while sweating and cursing the moving shadows from a tree outside, and balancing a 10 ft reflector 🥵
Step 5: Wrap the shoot and pass out. No biggie, right? 😅✌️

An oldie but a goodie! Just prepping the feed for maybe some abstract florals, and/or green scenes comin up!

I’ve been living that plant mom life and I gotta say…they make for great props/backgrounds for macro shots 😂
