More moss (and lichen), please. You can never have too much moss. Story time.

There was a magnificent hill of boulders I was once frolicking on, that the moss was so thick it felt like what I always imagined walking on a cloud would feel like. Pure heaven for my feet! Not gonna lie, I think about that mossy spot often. It was just spectacular. (Even though I also accidentally stepped on a snake - don’t worry, it wasn’t a hard step and I don’t think I did any damage, other than startling my fellow forest friends with a scream of slithery sole-tickling surprise.)

Anyhow, that’s my moss story. What’s yours? We don’t talk about the wonders of moss enough. We should change that.

An evening at the ocean is exactly what I needed. Joined by a hunting osprey (blurry, but can you see it caught something?), a flock of geese, some big birds (eagles?) chasing each other, and flitting bats. (PS - That’s the best slow-mo of the bats I could get at the end. I’m keen to go back and try again - so cool, those little creatures.)

This magnificent human. Gah! What a heart and soul and smile!! Forever thankful for the incredible humans who have graced my life and my lens with their beings.

, thank you for making and sharing your music and your light with the world. You encourage me to “Do Better”, and I’m in awe of all that you are. ♥️🎶

True story.

I’ll take a playful adventure with an inquisitive, strong, and beautifully spirited child and their family any day.

Do I offer posing suggestions? You bet! Do I also follow the lead of the beings within the photos I’m taking, and capture their authentic moments of joy and wonder and connection? Absolutely.

The best sessions are always a lovely mix of freedom of expression, and artistic direction as needed. We can do both when we tell your stories through my lens. These are your stories to tell, and the best magic often happens in just being together, documenting what arises naturally. I’m just here to craft the imagery with the best framing possible. ✨

I had the pleasure of visiting earlier this month and getting to see their earliest blooms (the Spanish lavender) attracting the bees. I was pleasantly surprised that my wild snapping actually managed to grab some of these fuzzy little honeybees (rather than using the advice I later gained, to frame a photo around a flower and wait for a bee). Check out the pollen sacs on some of these!

Did you know I provide videos for businesses and organizations? I’ve been doing so for a handful of years through various platforms and directly with clients on Salt Spring Island and elsewhere around British Columbia, but I have never actually advertised that this is something I do. So, here we are.

If you need some video content captured artfully for your advertising, I can help!

Does your business or organization need a quality video to promote your products or services? I have worked on creating many of these projects and would be happy to put my videography skills and equipment to work to capture a variety of thoughtful clips that will be edited together into a 60-second....

I sure do love colour, but these images of playing in the forest shadows begged for some B&W processing. What do you think? Do you prefer colour or monotone for these?

I love, love, love a good adventure! When you tell me you want to go for a hike up a mountain at sunset on your wedding day (or any day), you can bet I’ll be ready to strap in my camera backpack and follow you around wherever you can dream of.

Give me ALL the adventures! 🥾📸🌄

I have yet to open up the files on my computer and see if I got any snaps worth sharing of the bees buzzing eagerly around the blooms starting at last week. Those bees are fast! Next time I’m taking the advice of Fernando, a very talented photographer I met at the market, and setting up a perfectly framed spot and just waiting. 🤞🏻👀📸

So for now, here’s some video snippets that found themselves in my phone’s camera roll, some by me, and some by my daughter while I snapped away with my camera. Enjoy these important little creatures and the beautiful flowers!
