Spent the day down at Todd's Nanaimo Infusion, welcoming our American friends to Nanaimo! It was such a great time connecting and making new friends that I completely forgot to take more photos — classic.
Already excited for the next one!

Hey friends, it’s been a minute!

I know I haven’t posted much since November—carpal tunnel surgery had me sidelined, but both hands are healing up, and I’m almost ready to get back behind the camera.

That said, I need to shake off the rust and get back in the groove. So let’s make a deal! I’m looking for a few passionate people—he/she/they🏳️‍🌈—to collaborate with. If you’ve ever thought about stepping in front of the camera for a portrait, cosplay, bo***ir, or even a dudoir session, now’s the time. No cost to you—just an honest review in return.

Shoot me a message if you're interested, and let’s chat! Also, if you want to see what I’ve been up to outside of photography, check out my personal adventures over at .

🌊 Spotlight on the CCGS Bartlett 🌊

The CCGS Bartlett is a vital part of Canada's Coast Guard fleet, serving as a versatile multi-task vessel on the West Coast. Based right here on Vancouver Island, this vessel is named after Captain Robert Bartlett, a legendary Arctic explorer who was instrumental in mapping uncharted waters.

What makes the Bartlett stand out?

Primary Role: Aids in navigational safety, search and rescue missions, and supports environmental response efforts.

Capabilities: Equipped to perform everything from maintaining buoys to responding to maritime emergencies.

Design: Built to handle the rugged conditions of Canada's coastal waters, ensuring reliable service year-round.

This hardworking vessel is an unsung hero, ensuring the safety of our waters and coastline. Next time you’re near the docks, keep an eye out for this iconic red-and-white workhorse!

Witnessing a Legend: The Mighty Philippine Mars

Today, I had the honor of seeing the Philippine Mars, one of the iconic JRM Mars water bombers. Although I didn’t get to see her in action on the water like I did with the Hawaii Mars, standing before this engineering marvel was an unforgettable experience.

The Mars bombers were initially designed during WWII as long-range transport seaplanes. Only seven were built, and the war ended before their potential could fully be realized. Repurposed as water bombers, they found a second life battling forest fires, capable of carrying 7,200 gallons of water—a true feat of aviation innovation.

The Philippine Mars, the last of her kind, served in the fire-fighting role for decades, saving countless acres of forest. Though now retired, she stands as a tribute to ingenuity and resilience.

Being near this piece of history reminded me of the awe I felt watching the Hawaii Mars skim the water’s surface, a graceful yet powerful display. It’s bittersweet knowing the days of these giants are behind us, but their legacy continues to inspire.

Spending time with Sky and her Littles was an absolute joy. There’s something so special about capturing those quiet, tender moments—like the warmth of a mother’s embrace or the curiosity of little hands exploring the world. It was a beautiful reminder of how precious these fleeting moments are. Thank you, Sky, for letting me freeze these pieces of your story. 🌿
