Grateful to be back on Haida Gwaii this month working with Skidegate and Old Massett.

Here are some of my favourite shots from this past week. ✨

Looking forward to sharing more as I move up island next week.

I’m about to drive through Jasper - Alberta, which I haven’t done in over a decade. I’m curious to slow down and see (and feel) the impacts of the 2024 wildfire.

Aside from the usual road trip setup of audiobooks and clean camera lenses, getting ready to go and thinking about nature…

It’s a good reminder to be prepared for how the elements move.

In case no one told you lately, be prepared for changing conditions.

Tell a friend of family members your journey plan.
Check the road reports before you go.
Charge your camera batteries!

Have you ever travelled to Jasper, Alberta?

All we will have left are photographs. 📸

It’s Wanderlust Wednesday and it’s always an honour to find my work featured here.

This week I’m reminded that sometimes our greatest adventures happen right at home.

The image of Alberta was taken along the tracks in Viking. Looking forward to getting back out there next weekend!

Storm season is almost here and I thought I’d share a bit about the process of learning.

Weather apps are downloaded.

Weekends are now spent exploring zones where I can drop pins on google my map for things like pull offs, bathrooms and gas stations. (And coffee of course.).

I’m looking for things like horizons, sight lines and interesting structures to include.

While Alberta doesn’t have a tornado alley like the US, it is famously known for its hail.

This year is a learning year and a year to prioritize images and safety over adrenaline. 💨

Have you ever wanted to go storm chasing?

Did I tell you about Alberta’s wild horses?

You’ll find them roaming in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains west of Edmonton.

I’m looking forward to spending more time this summer witnessing the magic through my lens.

If you’re interesting in spending a day together chasing wild horses please don’t hesitate to reach out.

While the flowers haven’t bloomed outside, they certainly have bloomed inside at Swish + Company.

Grateful to have been featured this week by Canon Canada for May flowers.

Our floral photography workshop at Swish is fast approaching. Are you coming?

There is something about Haida Gwaii that stays with you. Not just the landscape, but the way it teaches you to see.

Over time I’ve come to understand that colour is not something we simply look at, it’s something we learn to feel. Shaped by light, by weather, and by how willing we are to slow down and notice what is already there.

This September, I’ll be returning to Haida Gwaii with a small group of photographers for a retreat rooted in this way of seeing.

If you have questions about joining …

Please reach out.

On noticing, attention, and the heart of an artist

There are places that change the way we see, and places that change the way we listen.

Along the Golden Spruce Trail on Haida Gwaii, I’ve come to understand that photography isn’t always about capturing an image.

Sometimes it’s about slowing down long enough to enter into relationship with a place.

This September 9-15, I’ll be returning to Haida Gwaii to host an intimate photography retreat.

You are warmly invited …

What we learn when we slow down.

Feeling pretty excited to team up with Swish + Company in Edmonton to teach flower photography this May. If you know someone interested in sharpening their skills.

Flowers, cameras and all the pretty things …
